Police Shooting of 1-Year-Old Kohen Wiley ‘Was Justified,’ Mississippi Attorney General Says
How many diapers did that baby steal? Insurance companies say each year of human life is worth about 50,000 USD, so, cynically channeling Jonathan Swift, shooting this baby that could have lived to 60 would only be “justified” if the little one were hauling away 3,000,000 USD worth of diapers. That's about 500 metric tons of diapers.

And if possible, aim to pierce the lungs of your dreams, not the bowels. And be especially careful not to puncture the bladder or you will spoil the dream meat. Easy mistakes to make when field-dressing your dreams.

Scientists who discovered a third form of magnetism win major physics prize
Reply in thread
Oh, I thought they had discovered magnetic colors: a magnetic field that only interacted with another field of the same color, allowing the same region of magnetic tape to hold orders of magnitude more bits of information.

Sounds like the complaint of someone who didn't understand the legal documents they signed.

Only if people are somehow forced into residing in one against their will. That's like saying “City councils are anti-social tyrants”.

SpaceX won’t remove all of xAI’s unpermitted turbines for another year
Shut off their water lines, cut off their power, cancel trash collection, and close their roads. Failure to abide by the laws regulating infrastructure means they don't deserve infrastructure.

Real examples here?
Based on my cheatsheet, GNU Coreutils, sed, awk, ImageMagick, exiftool, jdupes, rsync, jq, par2, parallel, tar and xz utils are examples of commands that I frequently use but whose developers I don't believe receive any significant cashflow despite the huge benefit they provide to software developers. The last one was basically taken over in by a nation-state hacking team until the subtle backdoor for OpenSSH was found in 2024-03 by some Microsoft guy not doing his assigned job.

hypothetical rule
Reminds me of a Fear Factor event my Mormon church group had in which one “disgusting” feat for boys was to shave part of their legs. That particular feat was cancelled when some boys who didn't subscribe to traditional “manly” values happily started shaving their legs for points. Unlike swallowing goldfishes, eating grasshoppers, or attempting to drink a gallon of milk, leg shaving was a step too far for church leaders.

If the operating system is FOSS, I'd be willing to pay 50% the cost of a Windows license but to the FOSS maintainers and the upstream distros they rely on. Gotta close the causal loop.

Seriously, just stop (or use Linux)
So… they removed Wordpad to push people into using Word… and now they removed Notepad to push people into… this monstrosity? Why does Notepad support hyperlinks now?
Back when I used Notepad, it was to strip out rich text formatting and reliably get consistently distinct text, especially if I configured it to use a monospace font. Now I have to worry about embedded hyperlinks sending me to God-knows-where?
