For your education:

Pacman like many other package managers tries to minimize network queries, to do this you download a manifest of every package available and its installation instructions. -Sy downloads the latest manifest from all of your pacman repos, -u installs the packages whose “version” field changed between the old and new manifests.

These error messages show that the domain name the manifest had for your package was unavailable, this is why you should check for updates.

Whenever I think of the Dylan Roof incident.

The death penalty isn’t a punishment, who really learns from it, the criminal? It’s a tool for society to remove what amounts to a defective person (not human, person). People are supposed to value the lives of other people by default. Any sustained deviation from this norm is a symptom of a person who cannot value life.

Dylan Roof was given 1000s of opportunities to demonstrate that he did actually value life but because of his defective nature there was no choose but to remove him.

“Life in prison” can be canceled/pardoned/changed, death cannot. That is why it’s near impossible to make it happen and even if it does, people spend the rest of their lives waiting for their “execution” (ftr Dylan is still alive at this time source).

Now in what possible world would you be able to convince a jury of random peers, or judges with their heads actually screwed on tight, that a sample size of one murder proves that a person is defective.

Makes it easier to distribute and set up

History suggests there are way worse things they could do.

Yes… Gun laws in the US are bullshit.

He’s tryna be a macho man who lives life on the edge and drives a Hummer. Give their kind a down vote and scroll on friend :)

Yeah this is that kind of rules-lawyering grey area that everybody’s too busy to deal with. It’s the same issue with the assault rifles and large mags… they’re very clearly weapons of war but they look like guns and all* guns can be used for hunting.

Afaik it’s because there’s absolutely no other applications for brass knuckles to work. You can only assault people with brass knuckles.

Fire-arms can be used for “defence” and “hunting”.

Edit: inb4 I don’t agree with laws around brass knuckles, or most laws about most weapons.

It’s nearly impossible to relinquish your own citizenship, how many people is it gonna take to take someone else’s citizenship?

IMO if Lemmy had all the features that old.reddt had it would still be an objectivly worse UX experience. Federating reduces UX, that’s just a rule.

We should focus on making the onboarding process as simple as possible like enabling social login (inb4 insecure and not private: let people make their choices), and making it easier to move between instances and understand what instance you’re looking at.

I had a really frustrating time when I was trying to have a SATA and m.2 drive. Turns out some sata ports cannot be used while an SSD is in a given m.2 slot.

Look up your motherboards instruction manual, it should have the rules listed out. Give them to chatgpt and ask it to tell you how to plug your drives in.

PC gamers moving to console? What’s next the existing consoles adopting keyboard+mouse?..

There is no downside to this
