That part is JE quoting something Kotick said. That’s why the other person is responding to JE and mocking him for it.

I don’t really want them around trying to touch stuff at all

Don’t let Ted Turner microsoft deface my movie open source software with his crayons slop machine

This is what I needed from this thread. I already know I need a bidet, but the ball sounds way more fun.

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?

I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.

Some that come to mind:

• Han Kang - We Do Not Part or Human Acts
• Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of a Lion or Anil’s Ghost
• James Baldwin - Another Country

I think the beauty of Emacs is not that it gives you a text editor, but that it gives you a lisp environment.

Suicidally bad naming is the one thing we can always rely on Microsoft for

For something pretty low level and gigantic, Mesa (or at least RADV) is a pleasure to hack on. It has a great config system (meson), compiles super fast, has lots of debug functionality, and can easily be loaded into e.g. a game, without any system level configuration.

eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.

Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.

So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.

I try to use firejail on nixos when I can’t do something in the build sandbox.

It’s painful, and I’m always on the lookout for something better. I’d at least like a portal-ish system where I can easily add things to a sandbox while it’s running.

Edit: if anyone has any issues or discussions about this I’d like to contribute.

I thought I saw it as far back as simcopter

Sounds more like Canada to me. None of those things are covered publicly here, although we were making some slow progress on drug and dental coverage when we had a mildly progressive party sharing power.

I’ve almost given up on just searching the whole internet for something. I either filter by eye for sites I trust in the results, or add a filter to the query. There are usually a handful of sites I trust on a given topic.

It’s crazy how poorly photos convey the experience.

It sounds basic, but I just keep an eye on new album reviews and give things a quick listen (on Spotify usually) if they have some good reviews.

For things I like I try to buy it on bandcamp so I can put it on my jellyfin server. If it’s hard to find DRM free I 🏴‍☠️.

Downside is I miss out on non-album releases.

I’m sure there’s cheap land for sale, but that one is just a typo in the listing I’m pretty sure.

Situated on a large 82X145 fully fenced lot, giving you ample room and tons of outdoor space for your family.

It’s a regular town lot surrounded by others.

Now I kind of want to have a daily Lemmy thread where we read and discuss a random Wikipedia article as a community.

This was on my mind, but then I just watched it yesterday.

The first decision has to be vim/emacs.

I had pretty much the same experience finding the virtual memory settings on a win11 machine the other day. Same 20 year old dialog, now buried 5 more layers deep.

It’s actually possible in a way:

But you necessarily need to limit the devices and operating systems that are allowed. No custom ROMs, no root access, etc.

It’s bullshit and breaks open computing as a concept.
