Calling capitalism bad is not the same as supporting dictators. If you still worship capitalism, fine. But a lot of people who will never be able to afford a house are looking at previous generations vs what their generation is getting out of it and waking up to how badly they’ve been fucked.
Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.
Yeah, that’s the real issue and I didn’t think of it until you pointed it out. I don’t think he bought it to meddle with the election. I think he got forced into something that he’d changed his mind about. He’ll still meddle, because he’s an asshole, but that’s a product of his broken brain rather than a predetermined plan.
More than half of the $23 million-plus [Trump] raised has come from people who identify their occupation as “retired.” Other titles of people who gave the most contributions in aggregate include “attorney,” “CEO,” “sales” and “home maker.”
I saw this shift with my father as his age made him have to spend more time at home and less being physically active. He’d once given a pan-handler a twenty dollar bill when I was a young adult. I asked why so much. The answer: “If he’s going to humble himself by coming to me to ask, he clearly needs it more than me.”
I asked if it bothered him that it might be spent on drugs or alcohol. The answer: “If that’s what he needs to get through the night, it’s not for me to judge him.” This quick exchange had a profound impact on me. I tried to model my values on it going forward. It taught me a lot about compassion.
Years later, he thought Trump was a joke in 2016. By 2020, his health in decline, he was on the Trump bandwagon. It made me so sad.
My home lab has a mild amount of complexity and I’d like practice some good habits about documenting it. Stuff like, what each system does, the OS, any notable software installed and, most importantly, any documentation around configuration or troubleshooting....

And by god was it absolutely terrible. New restaurant, clean on the inside, tried 3 different things and I have to wonder, does anyone actually like jack-in-the-box? How are they still in business?
It’s terrible unless you’re very drunk and then it’s fine.
I live across from a McD’s. There’s often a line of cars to the end of the block (it has a very limited amount of space in the parking lot). I can never understand why people still go there, much less wait in line.
Burger King is the only fast food-fast food that I eat. Quality is almost always good. And then there’s the better-in-class not-really-fast food-fast food: 5 Guys, Shake Shack (the good stuff).
Senator Dianne Feinstein appeared confused during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Thursday. When asked to vote on a proposal, Feinstein began giving a lengthy speech instead of simply saying “aye” or “nay” as requested. The committee chair, Senator Patty Murray, had to repeatedly tell Feinstein “just say...
I heard someone joke that if her staffers aren’t propping her up to keep their jobs but are actually delighting in seeing her frightened and confused in public, that person had new respect for the staffers. It’s an amusing way to reframe this tragedy.
My dog is fine, though, which is the most important thing to me. The raccoons scratched my arm kinda bad and my legs are covered in scratches. My doctor can’t be sure if the raccoons had saliva on their claws, and wants me to get rabies shots just in case. She sent me to an ER because she can’t get the shots in our area....

This method can also be used migrating a user account to a different machine. I needed to swap three users in an office and used scp to copy the home directories between devices. Then, when creating the new user accounts the OS will offer to adopt them. Else, create the accounts before copying and then rename and replace them when copying.
No one had any indication that the copy was in progress, as everything was on a wired local network. I created the accounts in the morning before anyone came to the office and it all worked automagically. Just be sure to update permissions as needed.
As I was reading your comment another bonus popped into my head. rsync would be better for resuming an interrupted transfer as opposed to starting over.
Wouldn’t a communistic society operate without money?
You could have communism with money. People still need a way to allocate resources and barter. I’m out of my depth here, as I’m a socialist but not a communist. However, I recognize that communism isn’t the bogeyman US propaganda (in schools, media, culture) taught me to think of it.

How exactly did Reddit become a top website and what does Lemmy need to do to eventually get there?
Did Reddit get massive because of Digg users making a beeline towards them or were they already big before that?
