i do use arch

is April 2024 software that old?

replacement of core system utilities that aren’t ready for prime time

Could we talk about Unity? I’d wager that these bugs wouldn’t have been found by 2027 if Ubuntu hadn’t adopted sudo-rs. And I’d say “look at where Unity is right now” if they hadn’t switched to GNOME Shell.

there’s regular and then there’s LTS releases for a reason

One of the patches is to prevent the sudo password from being leaked in case of a timeout or sudo being killed. Another patch is to use enum for the feedback parameter. Another patch to ensure feedback is always erased before exiting the read unbuffered code. Another change is also made to not treat backspace as a password character when the password is empty.

that is covered in the history books tho? it’s cited as the biggest fault of the johnson administration, the impetus for the war powers act, an entry point to introducing the topic of counterculture in the textbook (flower power, anti-war, peace sign, Kent State…), and the progenitor of distrust in the government, after all

or it could be that not being up for re-election increases the chances of voting to reopen because they are not beholden to the electorate anymore. ergo propter hoc, anyone?

It has a clear storytelling purpose of having the reader eagerly wait to hear whom it was that he taught (who is this mysterious student?), and conveys the irony that something so seemingly everyday can be so important. In fact, this is the same irony explained in the first paragraph; the sentence reads as if it was the first paragraph with the blanks filled in.

Optimizing every single sentence equally for efficiency makes dull writing, and if that’s what you want, you might want to use a summarizer.

orders have enactment dates so the orderees have time to implement it or appeal. the enactment date was yesterday night, so that is to be expected, and you were gonna see that message change this morning… except SCOTUS stayed it yesterday night

orders are not automatically revoked when appealed. the appeal court has to issue an emergency stay if it believes the appellant has a good chance of succeeding or hard-to-reverse harm would happen if the stay wasn’t issued.

the circuit court just rejected the stay application, so SNAP payouts are a go!

(poor people getting aid they’re already supposed to get is not very uplifting tho imo)

Geoffrey Skelly, an analyst for Decision Desk HQ, responded on X: “If Kentucky had just remained part of Virginia in 1789, voters there could be voting for #VAGov right now. Their loss.”

The Louisville Democratic Party responded on X: “We are here for this energy. Kentucky, put our primary May 19, 2026 and Election Day, November 3, 2026 in your calendar for our next elections!”

Journalist Caitlin Huey-Burns wrote on X: “This is a good public service announcement.”

George Conway, a former Republican lawyer, responded: “There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy.”

is this seriously not the onion

believe it or not, they can be funny sometimes

I checked them out today because I saw an ad for their streaming service named “B Minus”

nobody’s saying that SNAP is worse than nothing

i meant that the terminator freeze-frame mentioned is meant to depict a temperature way past boiling lol. carbon erupts into flame around 300°C iirc

fairly sure that’s wayyyy past boiling

you wouldn’t look like that, you’d just be really dead

the inclusion of nothing phone in the lineup makes me unsure what op is looking for so i just assumed they was looking for general phone recommendations lol

the xiaomi 17 pro is getting a lot of hype for its display on the back, and this is the company well known for emulating an apple feel quite well on android… and being Chinese

nothing phone: are you aware that the nothing phone 3 got rid of the glyph interface?

i’m surprised that the fediverse manifestation here has not recommended the fairphone yet

It made them showerthink about schools?

there isn’t worse‽

That’s just orthography; the letters and words didn’t exist, which is unrelated to whether the things they represent did. There was in fact a judge, a January, and a Julius Caesar in Rome.
