  • I found This on the same site as @mosiacmango@lemm.ee. Doesn't sound 100% like their intent (unless whatever is "next" is a place to fill out personal details). However loading a webpage is enherantly at least a little bit risky.

  • It's a programing term that comes from the phrase "shooting yourself in the foot". Come to think about it, a loaded gun is a great example of safety mechinisms.

  • Theres two ways of looking at safe systems,

    • People are idiots and will get themselves hurt. The machine should prevent them to keep them safe at all costs.

    Or

    • without guardrails, people are vulnerable idiots and I am too. Let the machine prevent me until I understand the risk.

    As memtioned elsewhere in the thread, political pressure prevents implementation of safe systems. I absolutely love safeguards and being safe because foot guns are nasty. (Its why Rust is a great language.) but I will fight against things clearly created under the former philosophy because it locks people out of their own property. Because sometimes the "safety" is an excuse for controlling behavor.

  • For me there are programs that "can acceptably use that much RAM" and those that it's "unacceptable", to me. what's 20% to 40% of my gaming rig's resources may be uncomfortably taxing and laggy for my laptop. Its okay to waste resources on my gaming rig but the laptop needs all it can get. I accept some software will not reasonably run on the laptop. My employer has stuck me on 10yo hardware before, running windows 10 pro + intrusive expensive antivirus and nobody is around to question why their computers are getting 5-15fps and locking up for a minute or two when you open chrome. It becomes normal. Any software is the host and/or backbone for other running software should focus on reducing it's own resource usage for the sake of its children.

  • how can I get/make an archive to these websites you mentioned

  • saying that culturally the south is 20-30 minutes outside of a population center is entirely inaccurate

    I dont know if there is any baggage on the idea of "Southern culture" im missing, but from what i can tell, its accurate.

    People in (at least) the poorer suburbs still make (what got labeled as) "trash food", like casorols.

    In the country but also the wooded suburbs, deep red households put up large banners supporting trump.

    The TV companies broadcast old reruns of westerns for people like my grandma in the small towns.

    Go 20 to 30 miles from the heart of the major cities and you risk finding farmland.

  • From what I know, its a communist idea that all governments are inventions and that we are "trying them to see if they work".

  • Trump means we need to be ready to adapt our 'peace time' stratagies as well as adopt new ones.

    Be prepaired for dependencies to fail:

    • true friends will risk their safety to protect you.
  • Its been a harsh couple days, my body was feeling stress 3 days ago, I didn't think the election bothered me all that much. Didnt sleep the night of the election, "must have drank too much coffee". Afternoon of anouncement day, I relapsed.

  • don't think I'm on it yet

    My state is usually a swing state, but was flooded with red this time, they celebrated our main issue being shot down, wording it to sound like a "no" vote was supporting the new law.

    Be careful of AI survailence cams and debit/credit transaction logs and phone based tracking. Im closeted but still have a few blips that make me nervious. Im unable to move somewhere else because my friends and famialy are all in golden handcuffs.

  • rule

    Jump
  • Where are these from and why do they only get nonsensical end post at.

  • Please tell me you picked this image on purpose.

    Just outside the voting location, a giant billboard that says, "Vote yes, says the terrifying building sized gremlin of the state"

  • non existent options for CLI tools

    When writing vanila javascript, it writes loke a newbie. Anything remotely objscure and it will make things up.

  • Oh. so you are saying they use need to use copyright enforcement tools irreguardless of if it is a valid takedown according to copyright law. NOT that they are trying to invent a legal reason.

  • so if Im getting this correct, because zuckerburg runs ads, you can claim the usage is always commercial therefore always subject to copyright control. if you want nudity taken down, you must use (and in the process normalize) this easly abusable loophole that contains absolutely no safeguards.
