I assume many people migrated to Lemmy because they wanted a Reddit without spez.

Any statewide legislation is sure to hit significant headwinds, because the very idea of regulation runs contrary to many Texans’ political beliefs. “As constitutional conservatives, they have taken our core values and used that against us,” says Demetra Conrad, a city council member in the nearby town of Glen Rose.

Maybe your core values are really stupid...

Doesn’t having admin privileges mean you can load any driver into the kernel anyway, including blatantly malicious drivers?

Yes, this is from KC Green, author of the original This Is Fine.

“Weird-ass fucking cats” or “Weird ass-fucking cats”?

This distinction is important to me. I will not elaborate.

Okay, I imagined what it would be like to lick my dingus in winter. What now?

Great choice of website:

Independent journalism is made possible by advertising.

That is the polar opposite of the truth.

If the past couple of decades is anything to go by, it’ll be somewhere between “fucking sucks” and “kinda sucks”.

Sorry, people who love and care about me very much, I’m cutting my losses.

Only at Scrabble?

is it enough if I do one of those things?

Those remind me of the emotions produced by Thalasin+, like nage and andric.

At first I read “tasted”…

On Arch, the client is in the dhclient package, which is generally also the name of the ISC DHCP client binary.

dhcpcd (DHCP Client Daemon) is not affiliated with the ISC and still appears to be under active development.

ps outputs a newline after every entry. What are you trying to accomplish?

Do you have a username that contains a newline character? If so… why?!

Oddly enough, there’s two Oasis songs that contain “I said maybe”.

That’s okay; I’m not generally known for Risk-seeking behavior anyway.

Psst, that last word is spelled with an “r”.

Yes; I wanted to mention that dhcpcd is not affected because the title explicitly mentions the DHCP client (dhclient), so people might go looking for alternative DHCP clients in the comments.

I think it’s a bit confusing that you mentioned the DHCP client (dhclient) and DHCP relay (dhrelay) in the title, then link to the Arch Wiki article about the DHCP server (dhcpd). Yes, dhrelay is contained in the dhcpd package (dhclient, however, is not), but I assume most people will be using a DHCP client and few will be operating a DHCP server or relay.

I’m not saying they aren’t allowed to show ads, but I am saying that once they do, they are no longer allowed to refer to themselves as independent.

No company that wants to advertise on your website is stupid enough to sign away editorial control, i.e. once you agree to display their ads, you are no longer allowed to say anything bad about them. And even if they did, there’s still the looming risk that if you do, they are well within their rights to pull their ads and there goes your income.

If you’re going to show ads, be honest to your readers about what that means.

Another Technical Mistake

Not necessarily, but the state then requires proof that the reduced hearing (1) does not impact balance, and (2) can be compensated sufficiently by the driver (e.g. actively looking out for blinking blue lights because they cannot hear the horn of police/ambulance/fire brigade vehicles).

take a moment to consider your own mortality

I’m pretty glad that I don’t have to keep doing this forever…

(My uncle didn't die.)

Then why hold a funeral for him?

Kinda hard to encode it in /etc/passwd, which separates entries with newlines and fields of an entry with colons.

Of course, you can activate some alternative user database in /etc/nsswitch.conf and then you can have your usernames with newlines in them, but at least half of the tools on your system that process usernames will take that personally…

Given that Mac keybindings for “common special functions” (Open/Save/Cut/Copy/Paste/Find/etc.) use Command instead of Ctrl, leaving Ctrl effectively unused unless in combination with Command, this argument doesn’t hold much water.

Sure, some Emacs fan at Apple decided to add Emacs shortcuts to Cocoa controls, but that was a pretty arbitrary decision since people coming from Mac OS 9 didn’t use the Ctrl key, well, ever.
