A refinery has a tank with millions of liters of gasoline. It already has the bomb. All you really need is a penetrator and an igniter.

acockworkorange ,

You… got a source for that?

acockworkorange ,

Fifteen here. Underground tanks are not that common. They are a maintenance and environmental nightmare. But it would be nice if you could provide with any evidence other than “trust me bro”.

Which might be there to prevent legal troubles from YouTube.

What is their business model?

Selling free software without enforcing it.

How do they earn money to give out?

See above.

What do they ask in return besides hoarding the trademarks?

Cash.

We are not stuck to DEC VT100 terminals anymore. It’s okay to have 100 columns of code. And wasting 10% of that space for each indentation? What are you smoking?

On the last part, you can see Jesuit exorcism markings on Tiwanaku and Inka statues. They tried to tear down temples too, but couldn’t figure out how to dismantle the foundations and first meter and a half off walls. So they used those to build European style dwellings on top of it.

If a company with some resources makes a good Debian unstable based distro with a decent release cycle (could even be yearly), they’ll dominate the desktop market.

Fix for the capslock slow response

This is an issue that I know for a fact that is not specific to plasma, but I came here to ask for help since I run Plasma and I'm hoping that there is something I can change on the DE to fix it. Caps-lock is very slow and causes THis ISsue, and it is driving me crazy. I'm the person who can never learn how to use the shift to...

People, can we focus on the technical issue instead of criticizing OP for their typing habits?

Testing if VRR is active and working

I recently updated to fedora 40 and enabled the experimental setting to get VRR running. But I am an idiot who has been playing at frames rates between 30-60 on screens without VRR for almost all of my life so I can't even know if VRR is actually working or not. Is there some rest I can run to see if VRR is functional¿? If not,...

acockworkorange ,

Supposedly.

acockworkorange ,

Not even grad? Wow.

acockworkorange ,

Hence the meme face below it.

acockworkorange ,

Harder GPL. Like v3 something.

acockworkorange ,

I don’t know how, but I bet Putin will spin this into some pro war argument.

acockworkorange ,

He’s a resourceful guy. I believe in him.

acockworkorange ,

Hey hey, no need to make his job easier, okay? Also, no spoilers.

acockworkorange ,

Same. Built an extensive backstory, family, hooks for adventures related to the campaign with a cousin here or there… it was great. Or was going to be.

acockworkorange ,

Ahem the GIMP Toolkit.

acockworkorange ,

They renamed it to GTK, dropping the initialism. It was always intended as a generic toolkit. At least until v4.

acockworkorange ,

I KNEW IT!

acockworkorange ,

Weeeeeeeeeeeee……

acockworkorange ,

DDG is better, but only in the sense that Google got so bad that now it’s worse than it.

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...

acockworkorange ,

PETA might do something good by accident. They kill 60-70% of the pets they receive for donation, so I guess the lucky 1/3 that don’t get the ax are a good thing.

They are the remnants of BBC Middle East, hence que quality. They are, however, funded by the government of Qatar, and you won’t see that country being cast in unfavorable light in their articles. But other than that, they’re great.

acockworkorange ,

A really good article about it. TLDR: BBC decided to close it. But do read the article, it shows why Qatar decided to fund it, and it's really interesting.

acockworkorange ,

Those are grip enhancement surface features.

Newsflash: adolescents don’t care who is pushing consumerism to them.

acockworkorange ,

You’re way too patient. “Nothing I can do about it” would have been my answer to the first complaint.

acockworkorange ,

It’s a harrowing experience I don’t intend to repeat any time soon.

acockworkorange ,

The scale is shark > bear > man > moose. Don’t fuck with moose.

acockworkorange ,

Looks good! I’ll give it a try.

acockworkorange ,

Mint doesn’t default to btrfs, but will use it if you so choose during install. And it integrates fantastically with Timeshift. I’ve set up daily and weekly snapshots and have peace of mind.

Puts on reading glasses back in my day, we had a saying: “there’s nothing more stable than Debian unstable.”

UN declined offers to assist Uyghur asylum seekers detained in Thailand because they feared "China would get angry and reduce cooperation or donations to the agency" ( www.thenewhumanitarian.org )

The UN’s refugee agency rebuffed requests from the Thai government to assist 48 Uyghur asylum seekers from China who have been detained in life-threatening conditions in Thailand for more than 10 years, according to internal UNHCR documents seen by The New Humanitarian....

acockworkorange ,

requests from the Thai government to assist 48 Uyghur asylum seekers from China who have been detained in […] Thailand

What? They’re there, what do they need the UN for?

acockworkorange OP ,

Ooh that sounds promising, thank you!

acockworkorange ,

Looks like you’re saying federation is the future, but Matrix is a bad federation implementation. And that sounds good.

I still think forums are the best way to handle support. Even phpBB is better than any chat. Have a bot alert a chat channel that the project team hangs out for every new topic or something, if that’s a concern.

acockworkorange ,

You’re talking about two different kinds of stability. They are talking about development stability. You are talking about runtime stability.

One thing is to not break applications that use your library because of changes you introduce to it. Specifically changes that go against the standard you’re supposed to be following.

Another thing altogether is to not go outside the memory limits of the application so it doesn’t get yeeted by the kernel.

acockworkorange ,

No, you’re just dense.

acockworkorange ,

I hated Picasa, but I know that was because it was anathema for my needs. For most people it was great, and I never understood how they failed to monetize such a successful product.

acockworkorange ,

What are the benefits of using Jellyfin (or anything like it for that matter) instead of just mounting the remote directory and playing that way?

acockworkorange ,

Oh, through the Internet, you mean? Makes sense. Thanks!

acockworkorange ,

The default post type is image, you can change to text.

I managed to get it on kernel 5.15 and replicate the issue. I had to find its USB-C charger to keep it on while I power down my monitor otherwise it would hard shutdown it. So, connecting the monitor back, the weirdest thing just happened. The display rearranged, but didn't use the new monitor. Instead, the lock screen got resized and I could see my session behind it without logging in (!).

I've got this on dmesg:

Weirdest thing is I could swear it didn’t use to happen on Mint 21 until I both upgraded to 21.2 and switched to the edge low latency kernel. It doesn’t bother me much, and everything else just works, plus I’m addicted to aptitude so I need a Debian based distro.

acockworkorange ,

I would say it’s a lot more important to content authoring, photography and the like than gaming.

acockworkorange ,

I’d argue that’s a very pedantic interpretation. A fortress spell that casts a fundamentally flawed fortress doesn’t make sense.
