Fixed

Worked-around, you mean. And that hack seems temporary.

Containerized packaging is toxic. Let them learn on their own time and not take you down with them!

dreamed everyday

every day. Two words, my dude.

go through the compile-flash-boot agonising process just to debug a config file.

Overlayfs was a thing since; what, Kernel 2.2? We had debugging and in-situ mods where required.

Only illegal for the people suffering. :-\

they/them when referring to me is perfectly acceptable

Thank you for stating your own personal preference. I’ll try to make a note of it.

But … is that automatically anyone else’s preference? My friend Sandra prefers she/her, and rejects the they/them as it’s apparently confusing.

I’d ask the two of you to figure it out but its not my business.

You don’t need to ‘other’ people who aren’t requesting it. Do no harm.

“must run as root” App.deb

Yeah. That’s how you install ad-hoc packages where the author didn’t put them properly in a repo with signatures.

But, as Debian has impaired validation anyway - it’s a package format thing - it’s not AS big a deal.

I’d like to see some of these people who aren’t “afraid of getting shot” and put that to the test! I suspect we’ll all learn something after the first attempt.

Ad-hominem when someone wants to take away your emotional support pistol? Not a good look.

lockup of people addicted to hard drugs

Ah, so addiction is a crime again? I forget whether it’s a disease people want to escape or a crime people want to keep partaking in.

I know. Jail those who definitely want to get clean and see if we can learn from their autopsies.

https://eu-os.eu/ ? No?

the end of the carbon tax will all be

… pennies on the grocery bill and the best way to fund post-oil energy programmes. Stop listening to no-tax no-facts Conservatives, man!

I would have voted for Pierre, if it was him vs Trudeau

I despise the Conservative ‘platform’ (finger-pointing and trickle-down) so much, I think I’d vote for a box of dead skunks over Milhouse or elTool or whoever is running their show this week.

I have a preferred party, and it’s not hard to see which that is. But, if it comes to it, I’m ABC.

Carney is now the adult in the room

Justin was the baby-sitter, but Dad’s home now?

I never understood the excitement behind scrapping the carbon tax.

Conservatives only know one thing: reduces taxes on the rich and drop services for the poor. Trickle-down is their entire schtick, with a bunch of masks.

• ‘Axe the Tax’? On brand.
• ‘Axe the GST’? yep.
• ‘Axe the sales tax on houses’? Their friends need to buy new rental properties.
• ‘Axe the carbon tax’? Fuck the benefit for the people who need it, fuck the grants for oil&gas alternatives, sorry about the acid rain, wildfires and mudslides.
• lay off like 7,000 medicos on the eve of covid? Sure. Fuck the plebes.
• daycares and OAP homes? Fuck the young, fuck the old
• food safety inspectors? Do-nothing layabouts need to get a job

Feel that c$0.00026 savings on a loaf of bread, and 4c/litre gas price reduction before the stations pick up the slack. I can feel myself getting richer on this buck-a-bud-beer promise by that guy who was threatening america on camera.

They score REALLY WELL with people who can’t play checkers and see one move ahead, and it’s a consistent pattern.

Nobody wanted Trudeau

Meh. I thought Justin’s team did really well in blunting the economic tsunami that came with covid. I think he took a lot of reasonable steps in the right order, or his team did. He stood up for the cameras and said the words he needed, and there was a feeling of communication and openness that wasn’t unilaterally consistent but seemed consistent around covid.

I think he made some errors - to get a list, just see whatever the cons hyper-focused on in an attempt to find some outrage somewhere - but on balance he did well. His last act, resigning at the right time to give Mr Carney a chance to get in and lay down a personality for the cameras, was also I think well done. And if Justin’s last effort was to show us a decent alternative to Milhouse, then I’ll give him credit for that too.

I’m sorry to hear people abjectly hating on Trudeau, but honestly my biggest beef with him is the lack of voting reform as planned; but given the pandemic, I’ll take a Status Quo on that then like I will now given the trade war overshadowing it in importance.

If Empty-G (ha!) appeared for real on SNL, would that be its Jump the Shark moment? Could she BE jumping a shark? And by Shark, I mean …

assembled together all the people who wrote the first texts of the bible

If we include the two people whose contributions were ‘rejected’ at the council of nicea, then ‘assemble’ would be right! (they were beheaded by the pagan who was gatekeeping inclusions)

OH YEAH !

Lower numbers in Australia. People there must choke and spit it out; ideally before they get mortally stung by a fang brushing near their cheek.
