I still regularly think about Enema Bag Jones.

The first decision has to be vim/emacs.

There’s a death star on the other side of the fence.

71 of the 76 bills that Abbott vetoed passed through both chambers with a veto-proof majority, or more than two-thirds support.

What is a veto-proof majority if he can still veto them?

It seems strange that they want to reconvene to deal with them instead of just making them actually veto-proof. I guess it’s probably about making minimal changes to the constitution.

Or to copy something and modify it 30 times.

This seems like a very bad idea. I think we just need more lisp and less AI.

James Kochalka Superstar

Holy shit I forgot about him for the last 20 years.

All the words to Monkey Vs Robot are still in my brain though.

This might be niche outide of Canada or even Nova Scotia, but this album was just released last month:

It’s a tribute to Joel Plaskett that was done as a secret 50th birthday gift for him by a bunch of artists that he’s helped over the years.

The tough-on-crime people should really be pushing for the death penalty here.

I was a pretty experienced programmer when I first read SICP, but I still found it incredibly valuable. I’d recommend it to anyone.

I had pretty much the same experience finding the virtual memory settings on a win11 machine the other day. Same 20 year old dialog, now buried 5 more layers deep.

Well to be fair it’s:

Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation; and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario

It’s still embarrassing to throw AI in there.

Really what we need is a Minister of (dis)Information to stop foreign tech companies from fucking us over so much.

Now I’m thinking about companies using footlongs to pull off shrinkflation.

Going to go rent a 14 footlong truck from uhaul.

This asshole is going to be the least bad option for President, isn’t he?

Just going to look for a picture of her, and… yep.

I thought I was on /c/gardening for a second.

It’s actually possible in a way:

But you necessarily need to limit the devices and operating systems that are allowed. No custom ROMs, no root access, etc.

It’s bullshit and breaks open computing as a concept.

I don’t disagree exactly, but I’d argue that you’re contributing to the project even if you’re just reporting bugs or helping others with it on e.g. Lemmy.

I could see avoiding all of that pragmatically in order to use some obscure, critical software, but not something you use every day and for which there are reasonable alternatives.

No details were provided on how the tariff would be implemented.

Lol. How do you do this without just making it a sales tax on tickets?

50% of this country forms their view of the world from what Meta Platforms, Inc. wants them to see.
