Copyright terms are so fucking stupid. Imagine getting into trouble for using Popeye. Make it the same as a patent duration and be done with it.

Those aren’t targets painted on, they’re munitions. This A-10 shot a cow at enemy combatants.

Prove him wrong and drive my motorcycle into a highway median at top speed 5 minutes later. I’ll be god dammed if I’m gonna let some doctor think he got the better of me.

I feel bad for the folks that need and deserve that money from the settlement, but it was unconscionable to allow the Sackler fucks to walk away immune with their billions. Fuck that family. I hope they get sued all the way to the poor house and found criminally liable.

To be more blunt, the comment was an outright mischaracterization, and if not out of ignorance, then a pure lie. Typical bullshit used to discredit people offhand.

Lemmy drag Deez nuts across your face?

Anyone who had been planning on investing in the upcoming IPO is likely now thinking again.

I hope that's true.

Pff, imagine living a life where you try to delay your death.

It’s a bad meme. Nothing wrong with the topic or fighting against sexism in academia, but the context of the picture is literally the opposite of the message.

"Fresh" air. You're breathing in the septic line.

Yeah, super awkward. If you were being specific to his followers, you’d say Catholics. If you’re being generic, you’d say his admirers or whatever. “Christians” is such a weird middle ground that includes some people who followed him religiously and some who didn’t but appreciated him anyway.

Which is irrelevant. I paid for the ticket. Whatever costs have been covered. If I choose not to use it, that's my prerogative.

Could be that both texts are provided to the phone, which would then pick the appropriate version. Seems more reasonable than trying to keep track or query millions of phones of different make and manufacturer for a language setting.

Also, I found the depiction of the Indian guy funny at first but it quickly got racist and never got better, they just kept piling on the racism

Interesting. I didn't like it for a very similar reason. Their depiction of nerds or geniuses or whatever you want to call them was pretty offensive. I could never get into it.

Edit: to be clear, I'm not saying that I'm a genius or even particularly intelligent. I'm not. But the barrage of stupid nerd stereotypes was just obnoxious and offensive.

I would argue that anyone who says C++ provides a similar level of memory safety as rust hasn’t done serious development work in either language.

I’ve only ever purchased a single gun at a gun show, but they had a big ass table full of guns (and other junk) and I was not subject to a background check. This is definitely going to force more background checks, which is a good thing.

This is a straw man. Nobody is saying they're a monopoly. They're saying Microsoft has a history of anti competitive behavior.

He lives in New York, you simpleton

Thank you for the over pedantry. We're well aware that heat is generated, but we're talking an order of magnitude in difference, nearly.

Both open and closed source software share this problem, so this doesn't really answer the question.
