Well to be fair, there’s probably a lot of people who have no fucking clue what sudo is, but are getting instructions from stack overflow err, AI. Not that this warning would necessarily stop them, but there was an attempt.

It’s a MS issue, not isolated

The full version was offered for free at one point. That’s how I got it. I’ve never been sure how safe it is from a privacy standpoint.

It does a lot, but can’t create uncompressed zip files. I discovered this recently when I was changing phones and wanted to grab a bunch of uncompressable stuff from my secure folder. Solid Explorer can but isn’t free.

I have Material Files installed (recently) but haven’t played with it yet.

It’s your projection onto the words doing that.

“We aren’t having elections” is them saying… we are past this and we need to plan for the next thing.

Except now you’re literally projecting onto the words they’re saying.

And that’s the problem… They are making an off-hand comment without substance and a ton of negative space. It doesn’t add to the discourse, it sets it off in wild tangents as everyone fills that negative space with whatever they want to project onto it. And from what Ken said somewhere in his replies, he gets 100s of comments like that.

Do you honestly think that everyone outside the US sees the words “Supreme Court” in a news article title and automatically thinks its the US Supreme Court instead of the Supreme Court for their own country?

Would this title be misleading if it was about the US Supreme Court?

And in any case the point is YES as an audience we need to make sure we know what we’re commenting on. It’s basically your one job as an audience member - think critically about what you’re reading. Otherwise you get whatever hell Facebook is.

Yeah I just figure UI can factor into that a bit more, like some apps don’t show it.

Posts like this are a great test for whether people read the article (or even the first paragraph) before commenting.

Yeah I’m not playing my sax anymore this year either.

I try to bring them together, but my washer keeps walking away from my dryer during the spin cycle.

Well they’re calling them narcoterrorists, so you’re still bang on.

I didn’t think of that one. Good point.

If vaccines were given in Pop-Tart form there wouldn’t be an antivax movement.

From XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2975

why did the U.S. invade Iraq when Venezuela is so close?

2/3 of Venezuela’s reserves were discovered/confirmed in the last 20 years.

20 years ago, Venezuela was one of the U.S.'s biggest oil suppliers. 10ish years ago the oil price crashed and sent Venezuela spiralling into chaos. Trump has been grinding them down since then (mostly through sanctions). Biden let them breathe for 4 years.

Is that what’s going to happen soon?

Ummm, yeah. You think they’re posturing over drugs? Trump doesn’t care if the poors die of drug overdoses. He wants that sweet, sweet crude and has been gearing up to pacify invade Venezuela to get it. That’s why he wants Ukraine to surrender. He needs Russia to cool its jets so that Europe/NATO doesn’t drag the U.S. into a war over there. Troops will be on the ground in Venezuela soon, after an indiscriminate blitzkrieg bombing campaign for a few weeks - they will say they’re bombing gangs/cartels. It should start any day now since he “closed the air space” over Venezuela. He’s just waiting for Venezuela to launch one of its fighters (or for Ukraine to capitulate) and the game is on. This is all ramping up because the CIA has failed to eliminate Maduro and install a new leader.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump ultimately hopes to take over the whole country and rename it.

Tomorrow it is Saturday

Yeah flights that cheap don’t exist in Canada. You haven’t even covered the airport fees at that price.

One time I slipped on ice and I swear I went fully airborn (a la cartoon banana slip) and landed on one foot with one leg out and my body horizontal to the ground. I stood straight, and walked away unscathed. But no one was around to see it and no one believes me.

If you care, it’s been around since the 1970’s and was coined by Gene Amdahl after he left IBM. Certainly not just a crypto-bro thing.
