Born blind in 1949, a 7-year-old bypassed AT&T to make free calls for 14 years by whistling a 2600Hz tone. Engineers took two decades to catch him before he became a Buddhist monk named Joybubbles.

Because @[email protected] was unable to properly add sources, I helped them out by looking for something on Wikipedia:

The tone was discovered in approximately 1957,[9] by Joe Engressia, a blind seven-year-old boy. Engressia had perfect pitch, and discovered that whistling the fourth E above middle C (a frequency of 2637.02 Hz) would stop a dialed phone recording. Unaware of what he had done, Engressia called the phone company and asked why the recordings had stopped.[10]

Canonical is Funding a PhD to Automate C to Rust Translation for Ubuntu

Reply in thread

It isn’t always about “new”. For example, some GNU binaries are decades old and were changed only to fix bugs.

C has major disadvantages compared to Rust, which is why even Linus Torvalds said a couple of years ago, to not write any new C code anymore for the Kernel and that old code will be transpiled steadily.

It is not about a cult. It is not about being fancy. It is quite the opposite. Choosing Rust over C is very rational.

Also, obligatory fuck Canonical. Automatic transpiling is such a stupid thing. Have fun maintaining the new code that was written by a machine, while not having any Rust experts in your team.

Pretty accurate. However it is just braindead like @[email protected] and @[email protected]

But as long as @[email protected] let’s them do whatever they want, he is part of the problem.

And they call themselves anarchists lol. Like someone who smoked weed once calls themselves hippie.

Edit: watch me get banned in real time from their hypocritical “Anarchist Flotilla”. I bet they all feel like heroes by using the term Flotilla

ICE fascists walked onto private property in Brownsville, TX, without a warrant, with their guns drawn, then threatened to arrest the owner for telling them to get off his property

Weeelllll. You know. Maybe don’t argue with them. Private property does not matter. Laws don’t matter. At this point you basically have two options:

  1. get your shotgun, point it at them. As soon as one draws their gun, you shoot.
  2. stay clear of them. If they say “back up”, you back up. It does not matter at this point who is lawful and who isn’t. If this is going to the court, no matter where, chances are that you will get indicted for various reasons and your case looks automatically weak as fuck. So just film everything, give them space, tell them to get fucked and off your property, press charges afterwards.

Stick to one of both plans. Everything else is useless.

I don’t think that China and USA are big friends. Xi Jinping is the pure winner out of the whole geopolitical mess and keeps on damaging the US economy beautifully.

Putin is Putin and he made himself unpopular everywhere. He will never leave his bunkers again.

And Kimmy is just a 50 IQ potato who is happy to be talking to someone so famous such as Trump and probably always asks for a signature on a postcard.
