Unless you’re talking about the exit code of a computer program. Then coming up zero is a good thing.

Lakan? Is that you?

Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn’t need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.

To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart’s net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.

because apparently the constitution is detailed enough to specify things like that.

It’s impossible for laws to include every single possible detail. Lawyers and judges exist to apply generic laws to specific cases. In this case, a lawyer argued that removing bike lanes creates a saftey issue and since the constitution says the government must protect “life and security of the person”, removing bike lanes goes against the constitution. The judge agreed with the argument.

I use Voyager. Community rules are hidden unless you specifically go to that community page, open the menu, and select “sidebar”. It’s incredibly easy to miss.

If a community only wants some people posting then a quick fix is to not allow just anyone to post to it.

Ah yes…that’s why I downloaded them too…

I still find it crazy. I was watching a show with a friend that displayed where people were from and one guy was from Canada, specifically Alberta. Being Canadian myself, I had the legal requirement to point out another Canadian and said “Hey, that guy’s from Alberta!” To which my friend said “I’ve been to Alberta.” I replied “I haven’t.” That was that. A few minutes later he’s scrolling through social media and tells me he’s getting a bunch of tourism ads for travelling to Alberta. He thought it was funny but honestly that just creeps me out.

What if we had said something we didn’t want everyone to know? What if we were from a country where being gay was illegal, and we mentioned something gay in the presence of a phone, and now we’re flagged as gay by these companies. The government then demands consumer information from them and now they have a list of gay people. It sounds paranoid, but the current US government really shows how quickly things can go from being socially acceptable to criteria for being sent to a concentration camp.

Also easier when you don’t need to worry you’ll be voted out for spending tax money on a massive infrastructure project.

The allegation is that the Minister of Police has ties to organized crime groups since the BBC is now writing clickbait headlines.

“Morning”. Actual time - 11:48am

Unix is the single user version of Multics, an operating system for that could handle multiple users simultaneously. The multi user stuff didn’t actually work great, but the other tech it had was great, so they made a single user version. The name was made to sound like it was Multics without the “Multi”.

Unix became a proprietary, paid operating system. Linus Torvalds took a Unix course at university and became interested in operating systems. He didn’t like that rules prevented him from actually modifying the Unix system even if he knew how. So he made his own free and open source version of the Unix operating system and named it after himself, because of his “big ego” as he puts it.

Now this is where I have to interject for a moment because, actually, Linus only wrote the kernel of the operating system. He didn’t write any of the common programs and tools. For that he used GNU software, which are all free and open source themselves.

The show received nominations in 7 categories last year and received nominations in 12 categories this year.

First Asmongold, now Notch. Any other famous bigoted incel want some easy PR?

Canada: from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata, meaning “village”. The word was told to French explorer Jacques Cartier, who believed it referred to a much larger area than it actually did.

Kids start asking why when they become self-aware.

I wouldn’t say it’s when they’re self aware. Kids can recognize themselves in a mirror at around 1 year old. They start asking why when they realize other people know things they do not, a concept usually called “theory of mind”.

I have a friend who saw one of these and said “ah that’s one of those joke pictures where everyone says they can see a word even when there’s no word.” and that’s when he found out he was colour blind.

I work with a guy who refuses to wear his ear plugs saying he “can’t hear anything with them in”. Brother, that is the point. Do you find the sound of an air compressor soothing?
