No violence

No dishonesty

No malice

I know this is said a lot, but it clearly needs to be said again. The “Free” in FOSS means “Freedom” not “Gratis”. You can sell FOSS. You can make money off of FOSS. People do it all the time.

What’s wrong with quantum computing?

My brother in Christ, it is literally impossible to have a fully formed opinion on every single topic. You’re allowed to not care about things you don’t care about.

Before Steam.

Steam was launched in September 2003.

Karaoke Revolution for Xbox (released November 2004) is on the shelf in this picture.

Knowledge = Belief + Evidence

What really matters is how good of a critical thinker you are, and what you’ll accept as evidence, but if you’re decently educated, you should be able to manage it. The key is not accepting secondhand evidence from untrustworthy sources, and to seek firsthand evidence that you can see with your own eyes.

As for “Objective Truth”, that doesn’t exist. Not only are our experiences obligatorily filtered through our subjective human perceptions, but relativity allows for multiple conflicting truths to exist simultaneously in spacetime, so it literally can’t exist, and even if it could, we would be blind to it.

Also vaginaless, but I’ll throw in one square as an answer. All the jiggling in the world won’t get rid of that last drop. It’s either TP, or my undies.

For real, there’s a picture of a little black box that says “HDMI KVM” on it. There’s no confusion here.

The compatibility list is all perfectly true so long as the output is HDMI I guess. You could use TempleOS for all this thing cares.

I have IPv6 at home, at work, on my phone, and my hotspot. I have them on my websites and servers. IPv6 is everywhere for me. I use it all the time. Most people do and don’t even realize it.

IPv4 still reigns supreme on a LAN, because you’re never going to run out of addresses, even if you’re running an enterprise company. IPv6 subnets are usually handed out to routers, so DHCPv6 can manage that address space and you don’t need to know anything unless you’re forwarding ports on IPv6.

For the Internet, just use hostnames. There’s literally zero reason to memorize a WAN address when it could be an A/AAAA record.

2003 was 21 years ago, bub.

Look, not defending colonialism, but the British Indian Ocean Territory doesn’t have a native population anymore. 100% of those living on the island are UK and US military personnel. For the past 50 years it’s been a military base.

The largest chunk of the revenue from .io domain sales go to Name.com, who owns the ccTLD, with only a small portion going to the UK government after ICANN et al takes their piece. There are only 270K registered .io domains, averaging $36/year in registration fees each, so the whole pie is less than $10M annually.

The circumstances leading to this arrangement are completely indefensible, and there is a movement to grant the right of return to the surviving Chagossians and their families, including a 2021 UN resolution rejecting the sovereignty of the UK over the islands.

If you actually want to support the surviving Chagossian people, get involved in international political activism and fight for their right to return to their homeland. If they should succeed, they will be entitled to their own ccTLD that they can profit from freely like other small countries, and the .io ccTLD could face termination as result of BIOT no longer being a legal territory - though, not strictly, the Soviet Union’s .su ccTLD still exists today, and it could be beneficial to transfer ownership of the ccTLD to the Chagossians, but that can only happen after they are able to reclaim their territory.

Human intelligence created language. We taught it to ourselves. That’s a higher order of intelligence than a next word predictor.

Look, I enjoy these comics, but OP is clearly looking for philosophical literature not loosely-coherent lore-driven webcomics…

1 minute before class: the perfect time to mess with Linux audio and video drivers.

That’s all newsletters. I promise.

1. Go to “all mail” view.
2. Find the first newsletter.
3. Unsubscribe.
4. Search “from:email@from.newsletter”.
5. Select all and delete.
6. Repeat 1-5 until no newsletters remain.

Now you’ll have a pile of emails you can actually parse, and all the newsletters clogging up your inbox will stop arriving in the future.

Do this every time your emails start to get away from you and you’ll be golden.

Ask the instance admin?

Or just join another instance and don’t get bent out of shape about a ban?

“Linux File Systems”

*List of root directories*

Uh, where are the file systems? EXT4… BTRFS… FAT32…

I’ve been on Linux for 20+ years now and it’s not as effortless as Windows or Mac, but it is definitely easy now.

So many things have improved with Linux desktop it’s crazy.

As long as it’s not writing to disks, you’re probably safe. This is a good method to avoid getting a remote device stuck too.
