That was before he parted company from Ryan Lewis though, right?

It's amazing how the smallest routine deviations can change things.

I once put my 1 year old in the car seat before loading the rest of the stuff into the car. My kid has always hated being constrained, so I didn't bother buckling the seat belt, as I figured there'd be more joy in being able to reach and play with toys while I loaded the car.

All went well, we got underway, and upon arriving at our destination I realized I never actually did up the safety restraints.

Holy shit

I thought

If I'd gotten in an accident in the last 30m of driving, my kid probably would have died

What a shock and brutal realization to have.

Many people have complemented me on my parenting, complemented me on my nurturing and caring attitude towards my kid and other children too. I'd like to think I'm a good father...but the momentary lapse I had could have ended a life and ruined so many more.

Yes, it can happen to anyone. I feel nothing but sympathy for the parents who have lost a child this way.

While not every parent who loses a child this way is a good person, people like Lyn Balfour have demonstrated that many of the parents responsible for these cases are good people who simply had a momentary lapse in attention that resulted in the worse mistake of their entire life.

I think that it is not for the public to judge them, and it's not appropriate to publically shame parents who have been through a tragedy like this.

Those parents will be forever haunted by the waxy face of their dead child, will see other children playing in parks, and remember what their child looked like the last time they saw their remains, will remember how beautiful and vibrant their baby was - and know that it's their fault that the child is forever gone.

I think that's punishment enough.

No, the Belgian man was not German.

There have been other suggestions in the thread how to avoid ending up in this situation that I think are good, like put your work bag or purse in the back seat too, or if you're really concerned, take off your non-driving shoe and put it back there.

Kidsandcars.org does great work too, and clearly the message is getting thru to auto manufacturers too.

My boss has a new ford ranger, it reminds him to check the back seat if it detects weight. There are lots of ways to prevent this happening to you, figure out what makes the most sense for you and go with it.

Also, you're going to be a great parent. I don't know how I know this, I just do.

My last year of uni I was broke. The previous year the parking passes had red letters, that year purple. That was the only difference. The colour. I traced over all the letters of my previous parking pass with a blue sharpie and parked for free all year.

I guess it's a good thing the Debian releases all have version numbers then.

I got punched in the face at 24yr, and it never fully recovered. My eye is ok, but any time there's the slightest bit of facial swelling - tired, allergies, etc. the cheek under that eye pouches up and droops markedly.

Ah, understood. Thank you.

Seems to me the first part of the violation is clear, fine him and be done with it.

Twitter users who think they could have milked him for more...I think they already got a better deal than fair market value.

Genuinely ignorant here, please explain.

Why are they investigating at all? Didn't Musk basically Finance himself in the Abacus when he bought twitter?

Who are the people you're talking about?

Whelp, time to post this, I suppose.

His SSD might be slightly damaged because of you.

Wow, you are full of poop.

As of January 2024, archive.org claims to have over 99 Petabytes of data stored.

Come to Germany for a visit.

If the Russians had not been rude to Musk, and hurt his little ego, SpaceX wouldn't exist.

I guess we blame the Russians for this too then.

Looks like mobile auto formatting to me. G after a period, N is from a name, g ends with a ? but no space afterwards, so it doesn't auto capitalize.

There is. It's illegal and it's illegal to advocate for it, and it's illegal to encourage someone else to do it. So I don't wouldn't do it, I don't talk about it except in vague terms, and I don't think you should do it either.

So you think we should negotiate with terrorists? Give them something to make them stop what they're doing today, and they definitely won't commit more terrorism later in the hope of getting more things later.

Maybe just stick to eating ass, Adam.

Tell them that the south has renounced the pope. That'll do it without further complications.

Usually the answer is "uncontrolled access" I.e. it has driveways and such, and not on and off ramps

Sure looks like he's claiming that the team has been reduced from 4 to 1, not the 11 to 1 claimed above, and one was for customer support? Not to say it's insignificant, but doesn't sound like the train-smash originally portrayed.

I don't think that a post on Lemmy is going to do much to reveal much, but

• the population made up of Whites has decreased from 16% at the end of apartheid to 8% today
• the government is actively implementing racist policies against white people instead of trying to create a level playing field - eg, BBE, PPR, used the NEF to withhold funds from business which were majority white-owned during covid lockdown
• the government Has a report that shows Whites make up a greater percentage of the homeless population (10%) than general population (8%)

And yet, the suburbs outlying, for example, Cape town, are largely populated by white people who would be considered working/middle class by European standards.

The generation of black leaders that are coming up now are the first generation that had even the remotest shot at a real education and such, so I would expect to see the balance tip significantly further in the coming two decades.

What I do see - independent of skin color - in South Africa is massive separation of economic classes. The minimum wage is something like usd2/hr, maybe worse - but cars cost the same as in the western world, and home prices are largely similar as well.

There is almost no hope for someone born into poverty to ever be able to own their own car, as they can't afford to stop scraping for food from the moment they are old enough to walk.

That doesn't change based on skin color.

Last year in Cape Town I had the pleasure and privilege of working with a lovely and skilled gentleman. He was born into near-poverty and managed to get himself into a reasonably decent I.T. job. He told me that legally he is 'coloured' but he grew up in a 'black' area. (Visually he looks very similar in skin tone to Wesley Snipes) He said the first thing he did when he got his first I.T. job was move to a 'white' neighborhood which "was pretty much all coloureds anyway" - I asked him to explain this to me, and long story short, he said that it wasn't about skin tone, but the level of violence and risk to property. He then showed me his stab wounds which he alleges he got "just for walking in a black neighborhood."

So there is definitely a perception among the population that race is connected to status/economic advantage/etc. - but it doesn't necessarily represent today's reality.

I stayed in a reasonably upscale hotel during that stay, and based on hotel breakfast attendance, I have no doubt that the race makeup of hotel guests was representative of the race makeup of the general population.

There's no doubt in my mind that historically, white South Africans held all the cards, but for people born after the 80's that doesn't seem to be the case any more. The next couple of generations will see that flip completely, I think, but the wealth gap is so severe that the 'walking-dead-poor' class will continue for generations to come.

All of this to say that disadvantaging Whites today because they were winning during apartheid isn't helping anyone except those at the top of the economic ladder.

Absolutely. This video does a great job of debunking the myth. There's a follow-up explaining why higher sampling has a place in audio mastering.

My i5-4690 and i7-4770 machines remain competitive to this day, even with spectre patches in place. I saw no reason to 'upgrade' to 6/7/8th gen CPUs.

I'm looking for a new desktop now, but for the costs involved I might just end up parting together a HP Z6 G4 with server surplus cpu/ram. The costs of going to 11th+ desktop Intel don't seem worth it.

I'm going to look at the more recent AMD offerings, but I'm not sure they'll compete with surplus server kit.

What's so insane about it? Web browsers are an evolution of the old gopher protocol. All this stuff has roots in text consoles.

I've got a 500mhz Celeron from the P3 days, it runs OS/2 and has an ISA EPROM burner card in it.

I duct taped a RPi4 to the back of a Motorola Lapdock and used custom cables to make the combo into the worst laptop ever. If yours counts, mine does too. This is what the Lapdock looks like:

You can use version numbers, but it's on you to change them when new point releases drop.

https://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian12.6/

I've spent about 6 months there over the past 5 years, it's more complex than what would lend itself to supporting your statement.

I used to think so too, but I've got an Intel box where I have to turn hardware offload off in order to not have networking 'crashes' (complete with kernel dump data) that take out my networking for 5-15sec. Chip is i218-LM r05.

I've never had an issue with my i210 and x550 chips, but this 218 is super frustrating.

My last car purchase I was thinking similarly, I ended up with a '14 with 80000km on it. Bank said "we can't give you a loan for that, but we can up your line of credit and you can use that" ...

Forensic data recovery. How many 500GB drives ship to PCs that never use more than 20% of that?

Reminds me of an episode of Murdoch Mysteries, Game of Kings.

Serious question - does Slackware offer any special features that make it more attractive?

I stopped using Slackware back when Corel Linux released, and when CL died I switched to Debian and never looked back.

The last time my community found a PID.0 in our midst, he was beaten downtown in broad daylight by over a dozen assailants, no witnesses.

I was too, but as soon as I heard about the acquisition I started diversifying my non production kit for testing. I've now got Proxmox installed on an HPE DL380G10 with GPU pass thru, same on an HP Z440, and XenServer 8 installed on a pair of DL380G9 with MSA2040 backing storage.

At home I've got both truenas scale and truenas core set up each on a z230.

No matter what happens with the IT department at my office, I'm ready to either meet the new standards here, or go find work elsewhere.

She did? Which wife?

Whaaat..?

1. trim the nails

4. decide on a key phrase that will do maximum damage, like "work harder" or "no handouts" or a similar 10-character phrase
5. paint on letter on each finger
