I don’t know about that. Europe is white majority so it could well split the right-wing on how acceptable immigration is from those places.

It could even be popcorn-worthy if they start tearing themselves apart over it.

A man can dream, right?

AMD CPUs have something called a Platform Security Processor baked into their chips, and don’t have Intel’s Management Engine, so if there is even a full OS in there, and I’m not convinced there is, it’s probably not Minix.

I hope the animals and the environment weren’t meaningfully damaged by his presence and subsequent death.

If you have a modern Intel processor. Some of us went AMD to avoid all that, although it’s not exactly clear what’s running in the negative rings of those either.

Assuming constant accumulation at the same rate, they’re on for about two thirds the target amount in a full year. It’s undoubtedly devastating, but there’s a lot of room for it to be worse.

Yes, but not yet, which is all CERN needs for now.

They’ll undoubtedly switch to something else in a few years if they continue to favour hardware retention over software compliance.

Spiralling off into rampant speculation, I can imagine they might end up finding some way to create their own in-house Linux distro that supports old hardware if all the stock distros raise the bar out of the reach of what they have, but I’m sure they hope that’s a way off yet.

But it could be a good thing for folks outside CERN with old hardware if that ever comes to pass.

Veterans as in “in receipt of an army pension” veterans? Because that seems like a way to begin to deal with the issue.

There’s a little manual wheel under the LED display on really old models but with newer models it can be done digitally with the remote control.

Wait. Where am I. What year is this? This isn’t about VCRs at all!

(Apologies for the joke. I couldn’t resist.)

Why the fuck does he think it matters what someone from the Trump administration says?

The US has main character syndrome. It’s hereditary from Britain, who have managed to tone it down a bit in recent years.

At an IT-related business, I had a colleague reformat and install Ubuntu after he foolishly clicked on something he shouldn’t and compromised Windows on his machine. The rest of us weren’t affected and stayed on Windows, but I did feel a twinge of guilt that maybe I ought to have done the same (Installed Linux, that is, not clicked on malware).

For the work we were doing there was almost nothing that didn’t have a Linux equivalent, so it didn’t affect him much if at all.

For the rare exceptions, we had a virtual desktop server, which had existed prior to any of that, because we occasionally needed very old versions of software that would conflict with the modern versions on people’s PCs.

This was all over a decade ago though, so it’s hard to determine whether the same circumstances would have the same result.

There’s a saying about Yorkshire folk, probably invented by rival Northerners, but could just as easily have been a self-deprecation:

“Yorkshire born and Yorkshire bred; Strong in t’ arm and weak in t’ 'ead.”

I think we’ve found the Yorkshireman the saying was about.

Condolences to his family. Double if they’re as daft as he was.

Somewhere, sad Cinnamon noises.

US to Canada: Bend over.

Canada: No.

US: You’ll enjoy it.

Canada: Are you serious?

US: You’re unreasonable.

Canada: You’re creepy and weird.

US: Well then I’ll rob my family under the guise of robbing you and you’ll have to watch them cry. What do you think about that?!

Canada: … ~leaves the room~

US, to family: This is all Canada’s fault. Bend over.

They’re rolling it out piecemeal. For a while after people started reporting that they now needed a login, I was still able to get to both.

Now there’s no way around it for me.

It’ll happen to you, @korthrun@piefed.social, and everyone else eventually.

And no combination of Incognito, uBlockOrigin or noScript cancelling or deleting elements will grant me access.

However, I do notice that they have an “e-mail me a one time link” option, and I haven’t tested if they block temporary e-mail services, so if you’re really desperate, maybe that will work.

Although I recommend not bothering with Reddit any more. Let it die.

This is all clearly Ukraine’s fault. If they’d simply capitulated right back at the start of the special military exercise, honest, hard-working Russians wouldn’t have these fuel problems.

(I shouldn’t need a /s, but it’s here anyway.)

Lobbying is and always has been legalised bribery. That they’re extending it to parties that aren’t political (at least, not officially), is not a surprise.

That the law allows this scope creep ought to be a surprise, but alas…

Welp. I’ve altered my comment to reflect my mistake.

Sites are getting better at frustrating users who remove elements from pages, so I expect that Reddit would have implemented the latest tech.

But perhaps more importantly, this is about mobile, not desktop, so there’s no uBO anyway.

Edit: Didn’t read my source properly at all. My bad.

Once I read the article it became abundantly clear, yes, but my attempt to imply that my initial impressions were from the headline alone wasn’t a good one.

It’s an indictment of our society that I wasn’t completely sure if this was going to be about ethnic Chinese targeting their own, or ethnic British taking advantage of foreign students.

The fact the headline mentions Chinese specifically had me leaning towards the former, but there was still an element of doubt in my mind.

And I’d still not be surprised to learn that the latter also happens.
