Bets on if it'll have a throne.

Ban back on, then?

That dog is doing his best.

You're not taking a gasoline bicycle up to that speed either.

If you mean motorcycles, they're built using much more... significant parts. The wheels alone are like 10x the mass of a typical bicycle wheel, giving it significantly more stability. Everything else is built to be more capable of speed as well. It's not a good comparison.

Hate to say it, but that technical literacy from having to operate computers the difficult way was a small blip in history. So things are just kind of going back to "normal."

Now, the only real natural entry into "computing" is gaming. Pretty much everything else has to come through formal education, which is largely myopic and boring.

Don't think I've even worked with a gen Z engineer yet. I assume they exist.

OpenSSH has an unsung feature to execute a command (instead of a Shell) when a user successfully logs in.

It's remote.

Also, it's not really that exciting. They already would need access to your account. It would be very obvious when copying it as well.

What the hell is even that?

EDIT: Okay, it's editied, but still.

I get what you're saying, but as you kind of mentioned, it's a falsehood to believe any of your posts and comments here are under your control anyway. They get federated to other instances, maybe mirrored or crawled by bots. And these may or may not abide by your deletion of the content.

Might be best to just expose/enforce this reality to users. You send data publicly onto the Internet, it's forever out of your control. And there's no system in existence that can change that reality.

Also why it's important that a doxxed Internet never becomes reality.

Kind of wish deleting posts wasn't a thing. Would rather just the user-association was removed or something. Just because OP doesn't want to be involved in the thread anymore, doesn't mean everyone else feels the same.

I'll take that bet. Probably won't be effective, but I'm betting this shit is here to stay. There already hasn't been enough push-back.

 

There's a lot of (admittedly interesting) fluff in this video. If you just want to get to the point in the title, it starts around 13:30 and wraps up at 18:00.

 

From Buenos Aires to Bangkok, Montreal to Moscow, the languages may differ, but nearly every taxi driver or street vendor in the world understands one word made famous during a raucous U.S. presidential campaign nearly 200 years ago.

It's "OK": a tiny word that punches well above its weight. It means both "yes" and "I understand." It's a noun: I got the OK for this story from my editor; a verb: She OK'd it and an adjective: The story turned out OK.

It's even a simple interjection: OK! Enough with the grammar lesson!

MEMPHIS, Tennessee — Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of South Memphis that already leads the state in emergency department visits for asthma.

None of the 35 methane gas turbines that help power xAI’s massive supercomputer is equipped with pollution controls typically required by federal rules.

The company has no Clean Air Act permits.

A CSB safety video on the investigation into the August 2020 fire and toxic gas release at the Bio-Lab Lake Charles chemical facility in Westlake, Louisiana, that occurred when the facility was severely damaged by Hurricane Laura.

 

The image proxy appears to be borking some (all?) gif links. For example:

![](https://c.tenor.com/Nfn2jAEKNpwAAAAd/tenor.gif)

The image proxy returns the response:

{"code":"validate-width","msg":"Too wide"}

Is it actually too wide or is this a bug? If it's legit, shouldn't the proxy make the necessary adjustments? Any way around this? Seems like tenor at least has large size low rez images. Not sure if this is a recent change on either end, but haven't had this issue before.
