unfortunately “thrust” is the accurate aircraft term 😭

under capitalism governments need to have market controls to prevent products that only harm and trap users to enrich the producer

It’s like drugs.

I do wonder whether this mechanism will affect Gazan users, though before it spreads to other software they probably don’t run Cemu on Linux

You can try it right now, actually.

oh i thought you were referring to people saying it to illustrate how bad the system is and how important trump winning the election was lol. i definitely agree that it doesn’t justify what he’s doing (even if it legally stands, even if it legally stands, it doesn’t stand socially)

but it is not inaccurate to say nearly half of the citizens preferred him on election day. per the link, pew research shows 48% of non-voters would’ve voted for trump as opposed to 45%, with a pretty high validity.

it’s like gravity

(small objects don’t have (well, show, I guess but uhhh) it but large ones do)

NPR: Trump would have won even if everyone eligible voted. I agree that substantial Trump voters disapprove of current events, but the truth is one in two US citizens preferred Trump over Harris on Election Day. Not to mention turnout was 64% not 42%, so it’s 30% not 20%

yeah that is indeed my last sentence. i’m pointing out that maybe this means capital can sort of back-and-forth this. anti-immigration to get into power and do pro-capital things, then be pro-immigration to get into power and expand labor force, repeat

it’s interesting you point out successful social movements are often aligned with capital, as the major totalitarian thing today, action against illegal immigrants, is action against expanding the labor force. it gets society invested in giving capital power though

Apparently that’s only for blob storage (now "object storage), not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_blob

That’s privilege escalation for you. 7.8 is pretty high.

The compressed binary blob is just a 160 B ELF when uncompressed. I don’t think you can do much with that.

I’m not sure how much of it is obfuscation and how much of it is golfing. Ze golfed it so ze could make the pretty valid “just 732 bytes python script” claim.

The compression could very well be just a way to write a binary in Python plaintext. ChatGPT claims it just attempts to sudo, run /bin/sh if that succeeds, and exit if that fails.

I think I’m going to trust Ubuntu more since the pretty ambitious 25.10 release. They made telemetry opt-in (it was opt-out) in 26.04.

i’m guessing those trans pride colors in the sign weren’t intentional then…

(like look at that these are like the only pastel colors)

there’s a difference between virtue signaling and just expressing ideas/opinion. the one that matters the most to me is that the latter isn’t hostile

the flippancy you find especially across threads on political news across the fediverse is awful because it drives people away without accomplishing things other than virtue signaling

there’s some distance between just having a (transactional) relationship and a true-love relationship where “I like you for who you are and the comfort of being around you, and you feel the same” fits in, though

I fuzzily remember that it had happened
