Ansible. Basically if I need to upgrade something for the first time, I write or extend an Ansible script an run those periodically.

Tells you, well, which models you can run and which performance to expect.

Yeah right. 'Cause he’s a stay-at-home dad all year round and just flies to the moon in between for a two-week workation.

I find this claim of “he raises his two daughters” very dubious. I bet he does not have the time to raise that much.

I worked for ESA, I had lunch with ‘just’ ISS astronauts. Their schedule is packed. They need to be in constant training and if they’re not, they have a lot of other duties. They’re barely home. Bet that’s even more true for astronauts flying to the moon.

I understand the PR, it’s good to have role models out there, I hope his daughters understand. But…meh.

It may be, but also…kinda cool?

Godforbid humanity just does something because it’s cool.

Uh, interesting (and horrifying) theory. I wonder how his bootlicking allies would explain that away. Like Germany’s Merz going “we have to evaluate first whether dropping a nuclear bomb really constitutes a war crime. Maybe it was warranted and he had good reasons to do it” and then just never speak of it again and pretend everything’s fine.

Erm

The central issue was whether Microsoft was allowed to bundle its IE web browser software with its Windows operating system

They even had the same shit going on some 15 years later in the EU.

You could split Valve Dev from Distribution from Hardware. But that is a shitty split, I’m with you.

You could also just say: you have three years to split distribution into, idk, 4 subsidaries which are then “released” as own companies.

You could split geographically, and down the line those companies might compete with each other.

That’s what I mean with creativity. A lot of shit could be possible. But here we are and are told “it makes no sense”, “there is no alternative”, just crippling our own imagination before even using it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then again…Gaben is the only billionaire I know of who improved my life. Linux rocks so much more these days because of him.

Probably would still chop his head off, but do it with a sharp blade, not the dull rusty one for the likes of Bezos and Musk.

There might be. But back tn the day we just knew that monopolies are shit for everyone (except the owner). So maybe we should sharpen that tool of law once again. But who am I kidding, not gonna happen.

It doesn’t seem feasible to break them up into smaller companies, how would that even work?

It is a shame how uncreative we as a society have become to deal with monopolies.

Remember when Microsoft almost got divided over bundling a browser with their OS? 'Cause Pepperidge Farm remembers 😅

JFK is shit, yeah. But LAX is worse. They don’t have any designated area for overlay. You have to go through immigration, only to go through security again to get your connecting flight. And immigration is rude, like, I don’t want to enter your shitty country, you make me do it, because you apparently don’t know how to build airports.

And security takes ages, so you wait in line, while you’re called out already to board the flight. Like I DON’T WANT TO BE IN THAT LINE! I did not want to go through immigration or security or anything. I just wanted to get my connecting flight.

I mean every obscenely rich and powerful person stole a lot of work from other people…otherwiese they wouldn’t be obscenely rich. So, he’s hasn’t forgotten, he isn’t and never was aware of how much he stole.

I feel you have it the wrong way around. The “average Lemming” is pissed, because private piracy is prosecuted and punished while Meta’s is not.

I, for once, couldn’t care less whether Meta pirates the shit out of all the books if I am allowed to do the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In recent weeks samba became unstable for using external storage, finally came around this week to use sshfs instead. Seems stable for now, all I could ask for 👌

I mean Predator seems kinda woke with that rainbow view, so it only makes sense.

Well you’re not alone in having that mindset.

Well, a lot of countries do not have this “18 years is the definitive line” ruleset. Which is made to not criminalize sex between e.g. 19 and 17 years old, which is also kind of ridiculous. OTOH it easily leads to the situation where 40 years and 16 years is also legal (in Germany e.g. when there’s no power dynamic between the parties - so 40 yo teacher and his pupil - nono; “random encounter” legal as long as there’s consent). But then again how would the law be written to make it better, like some crazy formula to check for?!

The most basic solution would be a SSH reverse tunnel to a VPS outside. Have a machine in your network establish that tunnel and set it to reconnect automatically. Now you can SSH into one box of your network. If the router acts up and factory resets (as long as it reestablishes the connection), you can SSH back into your network and reconfigure everything from there.

It’s a legal thing. No (real) jurisdiction. In space nobody will shut down Grok generating kiddo porn. It’s basically the precursor for Epstein Island 2.0.

Lifting half a ton…for how long?

Correlation, causation, and such. Anectotal: know a well educated (i.e. intelligent) family, one child dumb as fuck.

What the “intelligent parents” bring to tme table: often money, but generally resources to educate the children. Send them to better schools, fund a college education, be capable of helping them with homework, enabling their outer curriculum activities.

That’s all stuff that society could provide for parents who can’t, but society doesn’t. Thus, statistically as you wrote,

• intelligent parents = intelligent children
• dumb parents = dumb children

with the occasional outliers.
