Everything is easy when you don't have any idea how anything works

*without SELinux

But it's a pain to set up and I hate it

It was not misplaced

Ah I see what you mean now, good point :)

No need to decarb it

What do you think putting it in the oven does? :p

I don't understand the eagerness of most people to go nuclear by adding potentially dangerous arguments when not required.

Use rmdir to remove a directory you expect to be empty, not rm -rf

How to create a successful GPU company in 2025:

• Step 1: build a time machine and go back 30 years

Are food labelling laws really that bad in the US? Can you really really buy "dinner" without having any idea what its main ingredient is?

Don't forget Duo, Allo, and Spaces

Heh, but that é hurts my soul

Wait what? x)

Do you have a link where I could read more?

"The world police is always right, it's their fault for being commies"

MP3 metadata management has always been a pain in the ass. I can suggest Picard and Beets as useful tools, but there will always be some effort required to maintain properly

To me is that they've been conditioned to believe that change requires some hero-type to show up and save the day.

Then either you've been living under a rock, are very young, or the algorithm of the platforms you use has not been showing you that, because it's been openly used as a marking on their military vehicles since day 1 of the Ukraine invasion, and has become a symbol for both sides of propaganda.

Or when you spent "long enough researching in detail" you somehow missed the Wikipedia page for it (first result in Kagi and third in DDG for "Z symbol" - link doesn't render properly on some clients because it has parentheses)

Did everyone already forget the "Z" symbols on Russia's vehicles at the beginning of the invasion? Wtf

Then I apologise about my ignorance on the matter, but you're now making the same point as the author - were you mocking or sharing their perspective?

There's a lot that goes behind "work" that you don't see in the final output. It's important to care about that art, and a shallow copy is just not the same as "the real thing". Right?

Stupid comparison, tbh. Scribing is just boring and repetitive work, programming is cognitive work.

When some chud on YouTube in 2025 says "'Woke' is ruining gaming," he means that awareness of systemic racism is ruining gaming. For him.

I don't think it even goes that far tbh. Especially for less political, more gamer-type "conservatives", it just means "the other side", forcing so many girls (1) into their game. Maybe it's just to deflect having to admit to being a misogynist.

And when an American politician calls himself "anti-woke", he's saying that he opposes the awareness of systemic racism. Not that he denies the existence of it, but that he'd prefer no one talk about it, so that it can continue.

Yes, exactly. No sane person would call themselves "anti-woke". Unless they're successful in subverting its meaning to be "those we'll put in concentration camps". Oh wait, that still wouldn't make you sane.

It's not about claiming the moral high ground, it's just that you can't have a word that can be used to mean its opposite, even if "sarcastically". The word woke is just the past tense of wake, nothing else. It can be used to represent someone "waking up" from the hide-your-head-in-the-sand routine, or becomes able to see things from a new perspective. For the right, it doesn't really mean anything, but they are pretty much using it as the new "sheeple". Which doesn't make any sense.

But the important thing is this: if someone is ridiculing people for wanting to be informed, involved in society, or generally just themselves, the only thing they're actually insulting is their own intelligence and heart. If we let them have their use of woke as a generic mean insult, we lose sight of that.

More than swastikas, I think this case is closer to saying "you can use literally to mean figuratively because it's common use" to which I also say no, fuck that.

But yes, swastikas forever symbolise Nazism. That doesn't negate their original, positive meaning previously found in history, religion and culture. This is not an "achtually it's ok to draw swastikas because they are actually good". I'm just saying that context, and intent, matters. If you tattoo one on yourself as a westerner, you're a Nazi - and it's ok that everyone treats you like one. But should those original uses be stopped because it's now "forever bad"?
