California launches electric trains as US lags behind world in rail electrification
  • Lived in California (SoCal and Bay Area) my entire 42 years.

    No, we don't.

    There was a short, planned outage in my neighborhood (San Diego suburbs) last summer - we got a few days notice (can't recall if it was a letter or an email). Didn't have one the summer before that. I don't recall any power outages when I lived in the Bay Area.

  • Basic examples for the Linux date command
  • I'm addition to tldr which someone else suggested, there's also the cheat command. It's pretty easy to add to it's cheat sheets, if you have custom commands, or want to keep a specific example. I've never kept a physical cheat sheet... They're just too inconvenient and my fingers are probably already at the keyboard.

  • Get a Grip, Democrats. You Can Still Win This | Washington Monthly
  • If you're "entirely serious" in the literal sense, just to be super clear the answer to "why can’t the Democrats run an intellectual Canadian?" is that a Canadian is disqualified from the office of the President in the Constitution. Unfortunately, they didn't think to prohibit megalomaniac felons. That's apparently on us. :(

    What console is the best for playing Minecraft in terms of keeping the world for the long term?
  • Ehhh... The Java edition has had more than one dude working on it for a long time. It's not like MS bought it and tossed the code in a vault.

    I play both pretty evenly, and while bedrock isn't as bad as people say it is (anymore?), Java is still probably the answer.

    That said, they're both fuckin maddening to admin.

  • Review: Framework Laptop finally gets an AMD Ryzen config—and it’s pretty good
  • Right, there's definitely a threshold... but we're not anywhere near it. Like I said I have the FW13, and my wife has a similar sized Dell XPS. There's less than half an inch difference. The Dell has almost no bezel... and fingerprints on the display all along the edge from having to open and close it. And the bezel on the top of the FW has hardware switches for disabling the mic and webcam which is probably why it's bigger in the first place.

  • Review: Framework Laptop finally gets an AMD Ryzen config—and it’s pretty good
  • This was a nice article to read, except complaints about the bezel (really we're still talking about bezels?). I've got a Intel 12th gen Framework 13, and I've been curious about how they'd do with the AMD version. I'm really liking mine, but a bit more performance would be appreciated since I use it for work, too. I'll probably buy the motherboard kit in a year or so, and slide the Intel into a case for a home server.

  • Minecraft Live 2023: Vote for the penguin!
  • I'd love faster boats (I'd love faster minecarts more). As is tradition for the mob vote though, you don't really know what you're voting for. When I heard "can help your boat travel faster", I think "rad, faster boats", but that could also mean "can help your boat travel faster [when you're nearby penguins and being in the boat doesn't count]" or anything in between.

    Dianne Feinstein dies at 90
  • CA has only elected democratic (vaguely to the left of the median Democrat, if fairly rank-and-file) senators since 1992. As long as she didn't leave it to chance and die during her term (...) while she coincided with the honestly fairly moderate-but-still-republican Gov Schwarzenegger, she could have had a hand in picking her replacement.

    As others (including myself) have noted, any Democrat-led SCOTUS nomination or major piece of Dem legislation would have passed more-or-less the same. I'd be curious if there was some analysis of where a particular Dem Senator from CA was a "swing vote". Meanwhile now we're in a vacancy and her missing vote definitely matters (again, thankfully likely with less impact than RBG's).

  • Removed
    Dianne Feinstein dies at 90
  • That last paragraph is all sorts of reasons why she should have retired 15 years ago (at 75!) When voters would have easily voted in her (possibly even hand picked!) protege.

    We're now left a mess because someone with an ego didn't retire when they could have. Wait this is starting to sound familiar. Thankfully the consequences aren't likely to be as dire this time.

  • How I ‘bribed’ a justice to take a no-expenses-paid trip to Mississippi
  • It is a problem with The Court though. Sure, Sotomayor is classy here, but only because she chose to be. The things coming out about Thomas shouldn't be allowed but no one is functionally capable of doing anything about them, even though we have rules in place for other civil servants - that's the problem with the court.

  • RHEL Panel Discussion at FOSSY 2023
  • Oracle keeps trying to throw shade, but I hope everyone knows that it's just opportunistically poking a competitor in the eye. They don't have an open source leg to stand on.

    Relicense or update CDDL to be GPL compatible and then I'll reevaluate.

  • Bedrock Minecraft on the SteamDeck?

    I've been thinking about getting a Deck and was wondering if anyone has experience running Bedrock Minecraft on it? Specifically with regards to controls, and updates. A few years ago I was playing Bedrock on my linux laptop, and it seemed like there were times where the client would be outdated, keeping me from playing with my kid.
