Well another medieval thing we’re bringing back is not learning history

Fucking guillotines already

Brave of you to say this

Examples:

• Black Knight (2001)
• arguably, A Knight’s Tale (2001) if you consider it sufficiently funny (big year for anachronistic knights)
• All of the Ice Age films I guess
• Year One (2009)

there’s actually tons of these.

So an option that is literally documented as saying “all files and directories created by a tmpfiles.d/ entry will be deleted”, that you knew nothing about, sounded like a “good idea”?

Bro, if it sounded like a good idea to someone, you didn’t fucking warn them enough. Don’t put this on them without considering what you did to confuse them.

Also, nfn, the systemd documentation is a nightmare to read through, even if you know exactly what you’re looking for.

(I’m still gonna keep using systemd because it’s better than the alternatives, though. OP, don’t write stuff off because 1 guy is a dick.)

I’d really love it if people stop saying “it’s by design” when they can’t point to any motivation for that design. When the quoted admin says “thinking this is by design” this is equivalent to saying “Lemmy developers prefer that there be no image moderation tools.”

Like, what. Why would they want that. They clearly don’t want that. They’re working on changing that.

This is literally how I got Lae’zel to sleep with me. Just booted her out of the party every time I needed to do something nice and brought her back in when I was about to be authoritarian.

This was literally the one thing that made me pick proton over mullvad. I know I’m not exactly alone in this, but inbound traffic does matter.

What makes this one so perfect for me is that that piece is left unsaid by the comic. The joke exists almost entirely in the fact that the man is surprised; and that his surprise is genuine, as there’s nobody else in that basement to hear him say that.

Legitimately one of my favorite oglaf’s of all time

Fair enough. I guess I’m not saying “there’s no point in --” because I know people do these things. (Man, I wish I had the attention span to read as much as you.) I’m just saying I’m not going to host something just to keep track with no recommendations or interaction because that doesn’t click for me personally.

Same. I don’t really see the point of tracking what you read if you’re not interested in connecting it to other peoples’ readings. Storygraph has been great.

Blood bending to kill anyone who’s near enough to see me using it (as soon as they look away)

Absolutely none of this is true.

1. Alzheimer’s is only one specific disease that leads to rapid mental breakdown. There are many forms of senility, all of which including Alzheimer’s become more likely as you get older, which means that
2. There is absolutely a strong correlation between age and degraded mental facilities. If I gave you three citations I’d be leaving out hundreds more citations.
3. There won’t be a scientific breakthrough that doubles the average lifespan of every human on earth. There are so many flaws with this idea it’s exhausting just to think about it.
4. Mandatory retirement ages are in use all over the place. Judicial appointments have this in place already in 18 states. Executive boards can legally have this rule in place as well. Any situation where old age in a job is a safety issue creates an exception in the form of an unmet bona fide occupational qualification. I would definitely argue that old men who create policy for hundreds of millions of people create a safety risk for those people if they aren’t mentally qualified to do the job.

Not just retirement, put them in a machine that extrudes protein paste and use that to feed the next crop of legislators.

If you retire early, you don’t get put in the machine.

Went to their site to see the pitch. “avoiding unnecessary entanglements” lmao this fuckin distro is trying to prevent WWI

At that point the DM should just print out a picture of the final boss with his name and map coordinates on it.

10,000 transfem people: “works for me”

Good. These people are useless morons, and it makes me happy that the Republican Party will be staffed entirely by useless morons.
