xkcd #2867: DateTime
Reply in thread
When a leap second happens, unix time decreases by one second. See the section about leap seconds here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time
As a side effect, this means some unix timestamps are ambiguous, because the timestamps at the beginning and the end of a leap second are the same.

What happened was an attempted coup, where a mob of people was only two barricaded doors away from murdering most of congress.

There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent

Yeah, I manage the infrastructure for almost 150 WordPress sites, and I moved them all to ARM servers a while ago, because they're 10% or 20% cheaper on AWS.
Websites are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU, so that power efficiency is very significant.

Of course that's impossible to remember, but you can just google "vim sudo save" or something like that to find it.

CD Projekt Spent Roughly $125 Million Turning Cyberpunk 2077 Around Post-Launch

I'm not familiar with the mods, but the combat was definitely rebalanced. Enemies scale with your level now, guns themselves were rebalanced, armor is on cyberware instead of clothing, and the new perk trees are more consistently useful instead of some perks being worthless and others being game breaking.

We're in this situation because people don't vote.
All other forms of political activism, aside from murder, exist to convince people to vote.
Activism without voting is worthless.
You want more progressive candidates? Vote for Democrats until Republicans are forced to move to the left, and then Democrats will be able to move to the left as well.
That's how the Overton window works.

xkcd #2842: Inspiraling Roundabout
Reply in thread
I'm american and work right next to a roundabout. It gets a pretty low amount of traffic but I still see people stop in the middle or go around backwards all the time.
That said, I see drivers doing the stupidest things pretty much everywhere, so the roundabout isn't exactly making things worse.

Biden is pushing for a ceasefire and sanctioning settlers, while Trump said that Israel should "finish the problem".
If you consider a Palestinian who hasn't lost their family yet, there's a pretty obvious difference between the two candidates.

Public servant advises woman facing homelessness to 'use witchcraft' or 'manifest' home

Sure, if she finds a lawyer who will work pro bono.
Even then, she and her son will be homeless for a long time before winning anything.

I haven't said anything on the subject before, because I don't care very much, but I don't know what the alternative is supposed to be. It's not like someone who is that famous can walk into a public airplane without putting her own safety at risk and causing trouble for other passengers.
It's also well known that conservatives really hate her because she told her fans to vote and these memes are part of their effort to discredit her. Whether the point has any merit or not, it's obvious who started the trend and who it's helping.

Biden reacts to pro-Palestinian protesters: 'They have a point'
Reply in thread
It almost did. There was a mob of people just a couple doors away from murdering most of congress and making Trump a dictator.
The only reason Trump failed to end democracy is because he and the rest of the Republican party were just trying things without a real plan.
They have a plan now. If they get a chance to use it, they will be successful.

Blargerer is probably saying that because the Mastodon post OP linked to says "In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent."
That, in turn, is probably referring to a letter received from the European Commission by the same person, which you can see here: https://twitter.com/alexanderhanff/status/722861362607747072
It's not exactly a "ruling", but it's still pretty convincing.

Our findings suggest that free-ranging cats cause substantially greater wildlife mortality than previously thought and are likely the single greatest source of anthropogenic mortality for US birds and mammals.

Why the fuck aren’t more people pressuring him with questions like this?
Because they'll never get another interview with him, or most other Republican politicians. It's a pathetic reason, but that's all it takes.

Avoiding slurs is good, but you're still claiming that her experience is impossible because you've never experienced the same thing.
