I’m always confused by people who don’t seem to understand that MacBooks and iPhones run different OSs. Why would they run the same OS?

You can install pretty much anything on a MacBook via the open-source package manager brew. I’ve been exclusively using Linux at home for almost 20 years, but on my work computer, which is a MacBook, I really don’t find much is missing. I use the same oh-my-zsh profile on both, brew install the real version of most utilities, and I move on with my life and get work done.

Apple doesn’t lock down the bootloader at all, so it’s trivial to install Asahi Linux now if you want to. I did this on my home computer because I like the screen, battery life, and keyboard layout.

So your options were re-elect the team who are following the process but started late and put and end to federal prosecutions while he was in office, or re-elect the guy whose last AG was 100% against any reform attempts and actively prosecuted offenders.

But no, go ahead and tell me how Trump was the better option here. This is why the republicans win. Everything on the left is a purity test where we endlessly belittle our politicians for not delivering everything all at once on day one, while the right makes plans that span decades to take power. Look at the Federalist Society. It took them decades to arrange for the moment where they would have decisive control over the judicial branch so they could crime with impunity. But tell me how Biden not completing a five year process in four years was too slow.

He started the multi-year process to do it.

Everything with government doesn’t have to be slow, but congress wrote this bill so that two successive presidents would have to keep pursuing it.

What exactly do you think discard means?

I think it’s important to know that this program is for code developers, and the issue here is with a tool called git. Git is like file saving on steroids, because on top of saving a single file, you save many changes to files in git, add a comment for why you made those changes, and share your changes across dozens of files with other developers.

What this guy did was develop for many months after starting to use git, but he never actually committed the files. Then he asked for to reset everything back to the original state, something that I do multiple times a day, and it gave him a warning that original means original and you will lose everything. And he said do it anyways.

Things like this are literally just so that there is a test case to make it up to the Supreme Court. They do something ridiculous that obviously violates the intent of the law but mostly stays inside the letter of the law, in hopes that the Supreme Court will take it up and overturn the law. So, yes, the fact that the vending machine can technically sell bullets to minors is a feature, not a bug. Why is their endgame getting rid of age restrictions for firearms and ammunition? You’d have to ask the death cult themselves about that one.

I wanted to confirm this because it was so cool.

The main hit I found was a National Geographic article (paywall it seems) from Jul 18, 2012

Because showing up exposes them to lying and losing, which would be objectively worse. Of course, you could not be a shady sack of shit, but then you wouldn’t have to lie and might not lose.

And complying with discovery would mean exposing his communications with dear leader Mr Trump, and you can’t risk that.

Right? The math here is all over the place. Like he figured out how much WoW would cost over two years and then asked ChatGPT for an investment plan with $950 or something.

Yeah, all these people are acting like at 2:1 odds are some kind of impossible situation still to this day.

Did you know that you’re allowed to write all the letters in the word F-U-C-K on the internet?

From a marketing perspective, it sounds like a slam dunk. Someone wants to sue you, with lots of fanfare, saying that your energy drink doesn’t actually give you wings? Sure, come in at us. In the mean time, we’ll take out ads everywhere with fake apologies about not actually giving you wings.

It’s shocking that anyone would use MS, they have a pretty terrible security record. https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-04/CSRB_Review_of_the_Summer_2023_MEO_Intrusion_Final_508c.pdf

Basically they used the same encryption key for every tenant and thought that rotating the key was too hard, so they stopped.

Yeah, I feel like a meta community is a clients side feature with server side hints.

Right! Bilbo spent all these years telling the Shire about how scary the dragon was, but for his birthday he got Gandalf to simulate the dragon for everyone.

That’s a bummer. I would have a plan for how to get to the courthouse without personally driving, otherwise the judge might take offense with how you arrived there illegally and do something more drastic.

It might be too late, but if you have your license renewed tell that to the judge. They will ask you how do you plead, I wouldn’t try to pull any shit with the not guilty plea. Just say you plead guilty, it was a mistake, and you renewed it immediately.

I had my state inspection expire and it was dismissed by the judge. Just dress nice, be respectful, and tell them it happened and you fixed it ASAP. You will still have to pay a court fee, so you won’t get out of jail free, but not having points on your license is worth it.

At the end of the day, most judges just want to see that there wasn’t a nefarious reason you didn’t have a valid drivers license. If you were able to renew it, no harm no foul.

The problem is that the >$100 million dollar planes that this was designed to shoot down is still a threat, so they can’t just stop deploying these because of drones.
