Painstaking!

better for PDFs

Sumatra!

All cars are computers on the road at this point, not just EVs…

But then big companies wouldn’t be able to keep milking the consumer via planned obsolescence. Won’t somebody think of the shareholders?

You don’t sound anything like Dr. Zoidberg.

Who cares if you withhold judgement while someone else doesn’t? Do you feel morally superior?

Yeah, but at least he didn’t have autism!

Osama … no one wept for him being denied a fair trial.

I did… Not so much for him personally, but for the number of high ranking CIA and other officials that might have been exposed along the way…

It’s not stupidity, it’s ignorance. The difference is stupid can learn, it just takes a lot of patience. Ignorance doesn’t want to learn.

It looks like you’re summoning a minor demon!

I’m sure they will get fined for it, and the fine will be considerably less than the extra money they take in from people who don’t notice…

Ugh, one of my right wing Farcebook “friends” recently made a simpleton comment about paying back student loans, and I couldn’t resist saying “why stop at college? Defund public schools, if little Timmy can’t afford it, send him to the mines” and of course he agreed, the irony was completely lost on him. No, his kids do not go to private school.

Kleptocracy is even better…

Reverend Larry:

I DO want your money, because god wants your money.

That’s easy to say when you have an abundance of time…

What even is plain text anymore? If you mean ASCII, ok, but that leaves out a lot. Should it include a minimal utf-8 detector? Utf-16? The latest goofy encoding? Should zcat duplicate the functionality of file? Generally, unix-like commands do one thing, and do it well, combining multiple functions is frowned upon.

How do you propose zcat tell the difference between an uncompressed file and a corrupted compressed file? Or are you saying if it doesn’t recognize it as compressed, just dump the source file regardless? Because that could be annoying.

It’s funny, because I didn’t consciously intend to hang up on her, it was very much a reflexive action. But moments later I realized I had missed the perfect opportunity to say “I’d like to see you try”

My first call center job, my first year, someone threatened to kill me. 23 years ago, I still remember it. I answered the call, didn’t even get the first word of my greeting out, and this woman was screaming, “don’t hang up on me, you better not hang up on me, the last three people hung up on me, if you hang up on me I will come through the phone and KILL YOU!”

I hung up on her.

People can AI generate convincing CP images. Should those be allowed?

I don’t see why not, if nobody is being harmed in its creation. Just because something is disturbing doesn’t mean it needs to be illegal.

saying people should go kill a certain group.

Saying it doesn’t harm anyone, it’s the people doing it who cause harm, that seems pretty clear cut to me.
