Glory to Arstotzka, I guess.

They don’t teach the classics in school anymore.

I don’t know why they didn’t use that tagline in 1986.

What awful syntax?

Ffs bash uses echo "${filename%.*}" and substring=${string:0:5} and lower="${var,,}" and title="${var^}" &c. It doesn’t use $ for assignment, only in expressions.

That’s fine if your bank provides tap-to-pay plastic, but not all do, so you end up more vulnerable to skimmers.

Each contactless payment generates a transaction-specific, one-time code, that is extremely effective in reducing counterfeit fraud.

Coverage of “The Principality of Sealand” and the popularity of Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon probably contributed to the enthusiasm, as well as to the creation of Bitcoin.

Who can really follow the man in the wide castle?

Kagi also supports bangs, custom bangs, quick bangs, and fine style control.

Nancy was effectively president for Reagan’s second term. People were mad about Biden, but they also hid how far gone Reagan was. FDR, too.

Cute.

I don’t think that degree of optimism is justified.

My notes on this are a little old, but:

No VRA protections, voter purges/caging (Crosscheck), targeted disenfranchisement & gerrymandering, insecure/unauditable voting machines, undermined census, and gaming the electoral college, all impact the fairness of our elections, on top of the naive first-past-the-post implementation.

It depends, up to four works for some apps depending on monitor size, but otherwise I do the same thing as @Nibodhika@lemmy.world.

Overlapping window managers, the most common type in use by far, just seem crazy to me. Windows almost never use the available monitor space, and they have to constantly be wrangled around each other so that… you can drag something instead of using the clipboard, I guess?

You don’t usually have them all open at the same time, you minimize some. Or maybe you add more monitors.

Thanks for digging into that!

Do you have any references for this? I only ask because “cities are dangerous shitholes” has been a talking point of reactionaries for a long time.

A lot of hate for this, but it’s true.

Incumbents aren’t to blame for voters picking the familiar, that’s a symptom of another problem.

We’re seeing what an inexperienced government looks like now. They don’t know the limitations they’re supposed to have, and they don’t care.

Talk is cheap. They may say anything to buy time as they make deals between the EU, Canada, and Japan that exclude the US.

Well that’s frustrating. I may need to check that again.

Where does Chirp fall?
