I mean, systemd-networkd and systemd-timesyncd are both completely independent and are not required by systemd. I use connman and chronyd on my arch box and systemd gives not one fuck.

There's still some totally valid concern to be had over how bundled a lot of this stuff is, but it's not all one big blob.

Mars is getting nuked again
or if you prefer it in video form: https://youtu.be/sm9BFRP93_k

yes the video is about setting titanium on fire, be patient.

(also no the study is some crackpot bullshit, the paper is funny and the video is even funnier because Explosions & Fire is an amazing channel)

Yeah, he's made 10 comments about this now.

You hear that, America? If you want your coffee to Do The Thing™ then you need to stop BURNING IT TO FUCK.

I may or may not be very irritated to live in a country where we serve blackened sludge instead of coffee.

I found it because some people on the alien site asked about it many years ago. It's Watashi no Suki na Oji-san x Ore no Suki na Iede Shoujo Jou | My beloved Mister & My beloved Runaway Girl Chapter 3.

It's very much porn.

God, I love Sandia National Labs for coming up with such great creepypasta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages

Yeah, you'd need some way to make this usable for people who can't bend over/get up on the curb. The former seems somewhat easier because you can just have a charging cable "on a stick," with the release mechanism up top. Dunno how you'd solve the latter.

Probably some kind of autonomous thingy. Like, a drone with a Taser or some shit.

Should have just used AGPL from the start, instead of falling back to this fucked up modified BSD license. It wouldn't stop people from stripping the branding, but they'd have to release source code which would tell all users what they're actually using.

In particular, the companies purchase financial information from a data broker before offering a nurse a shift; if the nurse is carrying a lot of credit-card debt, especially if some of that is delinquent, the amount offered is reduced. "Because, the more desperate you are, the less you'll accept to come into work and do that grunt work of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying." That is horrific on many levels, he said, but "it is emblematic of 'enshittification'", which is one of the reasons he highlighted it.

What the ACTUAL FUCK‽ This is the type of shit Neal Stephenson would put in a fucking cyberpunk dystopia novel. I am filled with so much fucking rage. My sister is a nurse and goes through so much fucking bullshit at her job already. Nurses really do not need more shit thrown at them.

I knew I had heard of this game, but I couldn't remember its premise. For anyone else like me:

THE LONG DARK is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies -- only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.
