Emma_Gold_Man,

Why are we posting corporate advertising in News now?

Emma_Gold_Man,

On the Model 3, opening too quickly with the manual release can apparently damage the vehicle trim at the top of the window. The manual doesn’t give that level of detail, so all many people know is that using the manual release can damage the car.

Do we need to create increasingly more children for a stable economy?

So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I’m mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people...

Emma_Gold_Man,

That’s an easy one - no. You can look back to various periods during middle ages Europe for examples. An even stronger one would be China from about 400 CE-800 CE

Of course, those weren’t capitalist economies - but they were economies. Capitalism’s instability is what requires constant growth to maintain. The better (and harder) questions would be what to transition to that avoids the issues of feudalism and how to transition with a minimum of societal upheaval (violence and death).

Emma_Gold_Man,

The cost-of living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming are homeless

FTFY

Emma_Gold_Man,

That wasn’t luck - it was best practice backup strategy.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Nah. Replacing the kernel is probably planned for the next point release - it’ll just be GNU/systemd

A Pound of Hamburger Meat Would Cost $30 Without Tax Payer Subsidies (medium.com)

The United States federal government allocates a staggering $38 billion annually to prop up the meat and dairy industries. These subsidies significantly reduce the price of meat products, including hamburgers. Research from 2015 reveals that these subsidies slash the price of a pound of hamburger meat from $30 to the $5 we see...

Emma_Gold_Man,

True, but they also subsidize the beef and dairy industry. Cattle are fed not only the grain, but the stalks. Feed use … typically accounts for about 40 percent of total domestic corn use.

So the cattle subsidies you see quoted for beef and dairy are usually an underestimate.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Probably not. It looks like it’s setting the fake address before reading the tunnel parameters, where the real address is stored. Probably a kludge in case the connection address is undefined so the program doesn’t crash. So check whether the address is included there.

Also check the function that establishes the connection. 10.1.1.1 is not a public subnet, so unless there is a VPN device listening at the local address, the tunnel should fail to establish and throw an error, triggering the exception clause in that code. Again, you’ll want to confirm that in the code.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Sorry, it was Solaris - you just blew it up (the minus is invalid on many Unix versions of tar)

Emma_Gold_Man,

Even more extreme, actually. I knew one person who was actually, honestly, voluntarily homeless. For years. Living on the street, no car. No obvious mental health issues, had family who would have been happy to take him in, strong social network, active in the community. Didn’t want to be tied to all of the things ownership of stuff brings, and was willing to make the many and extreme sacrifices that entails.

To be clear, this is not the normal homelessness experience. I’ve known too many homeless people, and the right-wing conspiracy theories of middle to upper class panhandlers on every corner are utter nonsense. Ideologically motivated self justifying cruelty inspiring bullshit. Even when homeless people I have known said it was by choice, I usually knew enough about their situation to recognize it as a face saving salve to their pride (a hard thing to come by in the lower rungs of society, and very precious). But there was that one.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Salespeople would very quickly switch to knocking loudly.

What do you do if a cop approaches you and starts questioning you while you're sitting in your car in a public parking lot?

Unfortunately, I drive a ghetto minivan which causes the police to profile me and has caused people in small towns to call the police on me if I am in a public park or in their neighborhood. I even had someone call the police on me at campground that I had pre-paid for and the police were not sympathetic at all to my right to...

Emma_Gold_Man,

Assuming this is USA, the phrase you’re looking for is “Am I being detained, or am I free to go?”

For a more detailed answer, this is what the ACLU has to say.

How to get a private car

Hello internet users. Someone in my family is looking to buy a car and wanted some recommendations for a private one. They are looking to buy new, and need Android Auto and CarPlay. I know all new cars suck for privacy by default, but I was hoping someone here could offer some insight as to which cars can be made better and what...

Emma_Gold_Man,

Sorry, but I have bad news for you. Privacy in major car brands no longer exists.

You don’t say where your family member lives, but you might look into smaller regional brands that focus on cheap cars for less overdeveloped areas of the world. Be aware the tradeoff is probably in safety features.

Emma_Gold_Man,

(Assuming US jurisdiction) Because you don’t want to be the first test case under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act where the prosecutor argues that circumventing restrictions on a company’s AI assistant constitutes

ntentionally … Exceed[ing] authorized access, and thereby … obtain[ing] information from any protected computer

Granted, the odds are low YOU will be the test case, but that case is coming.

What's the correct way to tell a very rowdy group of people in a restaurant to...stfu.

Context: Me and my partner went out for a meal last night. 7-9. The restaurant in question was absolutely heaving as you’d expect on a Friday night. And we got unfortunately positioned directly next to the offending group of maybe 10 adults and 3-4 young kids....

Emma_Gold_Man,

Insulting people for trying to learn is not a great way to encourage learning.

Also consider that growing up, people are kids. Kids are the rowdy ones in a restaurant, so they don’t get to see how their parents handle the situation until they’re older. Combined with a few years of pandemics related reductions to in-restaurant dining, it’s totally understandable that a youngish adult wouldn’t know the best thing to do - unless they ask.

Which you just disincentivised.

In a community whose entire purpose is supposed to be to provide a safe space for asking such questions.

Emma_Gold_Man,

That may make the teeth-kicking less satisfying. It doesn’t make it any less necessary.

Emma_Gold_Man,

No. He’s been real clear about that. Neither will Trump.

Short of armed insurrection, US subjects have no control on this one. The ones that are arming for insurrection also support the genocide. FML

Emma_Gold_Man,

I think there’s an exception to be made in your argument for abandonware. There are classic arcade games that wouldn,'t exist any more but are widely available due to MAME support.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Better hope the goon hasn’t heard of IPv6 either, or you’re toast

Emma_Gold_Man,

The third party (probably the Greens). Or not vote at all when they otherwise would have - that still means a lost vote for Biden. Young voters tend to be far less willing to accept the compromises imposed by first past the post voting systems.

The threat to Democrats is real.

Emma_Gold_Man,

My brain still defaults to 2nd edition. Armor class 70 means a sloth wielding a toothpick would have to fumble to miss me

Donald Trump using bail bondsman rings alarm bells about his finances (www.newsweek.com)

Donald Trump reportedly used a bail bondsman after being arrested at Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, paying $20,000 of his bond set at $200,000 and taking out a loan for the rest of it. The fact that the former president resorted to such a measure has sparked questions on social media about the state of his...

Emma_Gold_Man,

Because if you pay the $200k you get it back when the case is over. The $20k is gone forever.

That’s assuming the judge doesn’t decide you’ve violated the bond conditions forfeit the bond. If that happens, the bondsman’s going to go after you for the full $200k in addition to what you paid though, and you still wind up $20k poorer than if you put up the full amount in the first place.

What probably happened is that he plans to use his usual delaying tactics and run the case out for several years, so his accountants decided they could earn at least 11% on the remaining $180k by the time the case is up, making it cheaper to pay the $20k up front.

Emma_Gold_Man,

Probably because one of his alts was on dbzer0 and was banned for transphobia

There’s more truth to that than most people realize: Linux is only one kernel option in Debian:

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD

Debian GNU/NetBSD

Debian GNU/Hurd
