To be fair scanning people’s eyeballs and giving them digital currency in return is rather suspicious.

Special election operation

Interesting. David Zaslav, also the guy who pulled programming from HBO Max and renamed it Max.

Seems like scrip for the Worldcoin company store. Give us your eyeball data, get some Worldcoin, trade for a water bottle.

If you delete a file containing the Quaran from your computer, is that bad too?

It’s interesting there is this rugged lawless place. But it’s also odd that there hasn’t been a concerted effort to make a safe passage. Of course it can be done, it’s just a matter of time, money, and mostly determination.

That seems like they left debugging code enabled/accessible.

Yeah it might work in the original format under some conditions but won’t survive a screenshot or saving to another format.

Long stretches of highway are good unless there is a stopped emergency vehicle.

This article seems to suggest if you only work 3 hours a day your wages should be increased so you can support yourself with one part time job.

I think many schools are left leaning. Two effects of that are tolerance and inclusion, which I am certainly in favor of even if I don’t like every liberal policy.

I’m sure the UN will make it their top priority. /s

Meloni needs a good dunking.

I’ve been using Firefox since Windows XP days and speed has never really been a complaint. Well back in Flash days some sites got janky but that was probably Flash as much as Firefox.

I’m extremely surprised he is still alive. 100 years old, damn.

arcane: understood by few; mysterious or secret

archaic: very old or old-fashioned

I did mean arcane but archaic could fit too. I don’t really have a problem with old as long as it’s good, but not that many people out of general population understand what Linux commands there are and how to fully utilize them.

It’s like so many other things, it’s simple when you know it well but when you don’t have a lot of experience it’s very daunting. A lot depends on understanding the file system, like what is the difference between /run and /media and / and /root? So much is command line with some pretty arcane commands and parameters. And not knowing what tools there are to help, and not knowing how to fix things when they break.
