happy to jump on the bandwagon of America, they just want someone else to go first

Like an engine that runs on FOMO?

When my nephew was young, it was impossible for him to go to bed on time. Just impossible! He tried nothing and it didn’t help! Please tell me that’s not what’s happening to the GDPR.

I’m sorry to hear what the blue residents are going through; and I’m sorry that I overlooked their situation over the last few weeks as I worried about ours here.

In my house, a short ways north of the border, we’ve been talking, lightly, about what-ifs. We never even planned around the refugee situation even before Mr Trump tries a sham war to deny the vote.

I feel there’s gonna be a lot of people ‘lost’ on their way through to Nome. I hope they’re careful and they have plans too. And I sure as hell hope those contingency plans never become necessary; and we can all laugh - ha ha haaaa ha ha - about it later.

We’re not even 90 days in and we’re planning for situations not seen here in 200 years.

Everyone else will be able to trade

🇨🇦 Phew!

won’t countries stop using the us dollar as the backing reserve

Yeah. Putin’s gonna be so pleased.

To summarize, “I have a POV that almost no one else has. Why is everyone not naming things the way I see them.”

Yes, pinocchio, your company is a real tech company because they use tech tools.

(sorry, it’s just a tech leveraging company, the same way my bus driver leverages the bus but does not fix or build it. My bus driver is not a bus; just the driver)

can’t seem to find a whitelist-only-JS feature

There’s one in your browser.

Do you really run a whitelist rather than a blacklist?

That’s a weird question. That ‘yes’ seems as easy as “do you wear your seat belt? Every TIME?!?”

Is it not tedious to add hundreds of domains to one rather than a few to the other?

After about a dozen you’re kinda set. I will enable one-offs in a private window, usually for shit news sites or the very occasional referral farm, and the exceptions are all reverted when I close the tab.

You need to disable JavaScript to read my blogspam.

Off by default already.

or even “we regret your cultural requirements will prevent many business opportunities and hope you can find suitable replacement goods and services. We thank you for decades of mutually-beneficial trade and look forward to opportunities in the future.” ?

repeating, rehashing and rephrasing

Remember when writing was Prose and poetry had rhythm?

It’s okay to say words, a few times and in different order, for effect.

So English has been devolved by vapid influencers anew.

a tool that allows you to build packages for multiple systems in multiple formats (deb, rpm, nix, flatpak, snap, etc.).

Given flatpaks and snaps are toxic, the other ones - deb, rpm, pkg - can be packaged relatively easily. It’s all a separate effort with files and meta-info that doesn’t often intersect, but it’s manageable. It lends itself incredibly well to the trivial ‘automation’ that gitlab, forgejo and other major git suites provide.

Source: did this for the entirety I built and maintained a software suite for linux and unix, for like 15 years. I built some code, I packaged it. Because anything less isn’t really ISO27002.

TL;DR - the ‘tool’ is a simple script and your brain. the biggest hurdle is the unknown itself and, once you get to it, the work can be pretty straightforward.

makefile which packages as tarball, deb, rpm and appimage.

Packaging an RPM in a makefile? That’s inside-out.

Many times more, in some cases. If foreign students don’t come, then schools will have to charge everyone more. And they need a certain amount of normies footing the bill as there just aren’t enough rich bitch students to make up the slack. If they price it out of reach of normies they’re slowly fucked.

They are not ran by smart people

not ran

Glass house?

1. find something Lennart built. Eg. systemd
2. remove that
3. go to 1

news tech

Not a lot of sites advertising broadcaster vans and steadycams.

Did you mean “tech news”, or maybe something with punctuation?
