You’ll probably have to enable it in settings first, but the usual trick across distributions is Ctrl + Alt + Bksp to drop down to console.

…is this a Shaft III announcement?

Best General-ed goes to A History of the Popes by O’Malley. It’s a great throughline that touches on a massive swath of western history and adds depth to common narratives of the church. (You can probably skip it though if you’re the type who already has strong opinions on the Council of Calcedon or papal investiture.)

Best Prose goes to The Power Broker by Caro. Too much ink spilled on that one for me to do it justice, but suffice it to say it’s a widely-cited nominee for greatest all-time nonfiction works.

Best Insight goes to Hamalainen’s Comanche Empire. I don’t have enough praise for this one: It’s the story of the Comanches from ~1600-1900, but has wider insights that tie into empire and culture on a global level. Highly recommend as a paired reading with McCarthy’s Blood Meridian.

Now get off my Lemmiwinks fan club site.

¡Soy loco por los cornballs!

Dangling commits are unlinked objects, and happen pretty frequently if you’re using hard resets instead of explicit git reverts.

Not arguing that it’s good practice but it’s very common.

Great answer on the whole, but worth noting that both Git’s standard CLI client and most hosted git services do run periodic GC to prune dangling commits.

I second the suggestion to take periodic snapshots of your mirror. Because the majority of file contents will not be changing over time, you can make these snapshots very disk-space efficient by taking binary diffs of the tar’d repo using rdiff or the like.

Probably not what GP was referring to, but Discord works totally fine in-browser without a client.

Less potential for vulns, telemetry, regressions, etc.

Check if you have hardware acceleration enabled for Firefox. It’s usually disabled OOTB for some reason.

That’s an amazing selection you’ve got! I’d love to try azara one day.

Would be really cool to see a few pictures of your setup sometime, if you’re open to sharing :).

Yeah, top two photos are oysters, and the bottom two are chants.

Based on the time of year and their appearance, I think the oysters were a native oyster variety, but your point still stands in the general case :).

Gz king!

What’s next on your roadmap?

A lack of eyes disqualifies a man as eastern Roman Emperor. It’s understandable that many women would find that a dealbreaker.

To train eye strength, I recommend looking at things. Reading picture books can help stimulate hypertrophy as well.

From an engineering perspective, tying the backup camera to the CAN (and by extension, telemetry units) dramatically increases the possible modalities of failure.

The two are absolutely connected.

The second-order effects are not the fault of the regulators trying to make cars safer

This is where you’re losing me. The second-order effects are within the purview of those regulators and should have been addressed in-hand with the mandate.

Why would the automakers be willing to comply with safety regulation but disregard telemetry regulation?

Hell yeah, thanks for fighting the good fight.

Another pitch that I think has a lot of potential is to ask long-form creators to let paid supporters get videos through a non-Youtube distributor. It encourages people to talk with their dollars and diversifies the creator’s revenue stream, so there are benefits to all parties involved.

A niche academic history podcaster that I’ve listened to for many years was able to move off of Youtube long-term after branching towards Patreon (+ maybe Nebula?), and seems to be doing well with it. Shameless plug: https://www.shadowsofutopia.com/

In a vacuum, sure.

In practice, the government has moved from speed cameras (benign monitoring) to ALPRs (pervasive surveillance) without the public blinking. In practice, many auto manufacturers (Telsa, Hyundai, GM brands) have made it a matter of regular policy to ship home audio and video data from drivers’ cars to use for marketing and surveillance.

Backup cameras are a small drop in the bucket compared to other transportation design choices if you’re serious about a Vision* Zero endgame, and in my book, the potential for abuse makes them a liability rather than an asset towards that end.

Nonetheless, you’re arguing that the government should force people to install cameras on their private property in the interest of public safety, are you not?

Same vein: Should drivers be required to keep over-the-air software delivery enabled so that manufacturers can distribute safety-critical updates to their cars as fast as possible?

And enforcing telescreens into every citizen’s home is critical to ensuring public safety. Without constant monitoring, how can the State prevent sedition and deviancy? If you let people disable their telescreen speakers, how will they stay informed and alert if there’s an emergency?

If you don’t accept your telescreen, you’re neglecting your duty to protect others.
