aleph, to linux in Some questions about fedora

I’ve personally had issues with Fedora’s version updates - once with Fedora and another with Nobara (which is Fedora based). In both cases, dependency conflicts broke the update and they were a considerable pain to fix. It was enough for me to switch to a rolling release distro and never look back.

aleph, to thepoliceproblem in Victim reports his father missing. Police instead interrogated him for 17 hours, said they killed his dog, and withheld his meds from the victim. Victim tried to commit suicide in the room.

The tax payer pays up almost $1M and these scumbags remain employed. How predictable.

Also, just in case anyone isn’t aware: rule number one if you’re in the US and police ever bring you in and try to interrogate you is to shut down and demand a lawyer. Legally, the interview has to stop immediately until you have one present. If the officers don’t comply, then you know they’re corrupt and there’s no reason to believe anything they say from that point onwards.

I’m seeing exactly the same thing. Certain companies re-listing the same position for months on end, despite hundreds of people applying.

According to this article I read recently, some companies are either doing it to give the illusion that they’re thriving and planning to take on more staff, or just to keep a pool of potential applicants on the back burner just in case.

It sucks. I’ve been looking to make a career change for over a year, and have only had two interviews despite sending out literally hundreds of applications.

Political intrigue just like Andore! I mean people love that one and it’s just a guy being a giant dickhole for 12 episodes.

That right there is fighting talk.

the sequel trilogy is bullshit.

Oh, indeed.

Sure, the acting and dialogue in Start Wars were always dodgy, but at least in ANH you had a solid retelling of The Hero’s Journey and the charm of practical effects. tPM was just a big, bloated, incoherent, CGI-ridden mess with only a couple of good actions scenes thrown in.

I think it’s a generational thing. Most/many older Star Wars fans (such as myself) who were already adults when the prequels came out hated them from the get-go.

I recall being the reaction being pretty much this:

aleph, to television in The Lord of The Rings: The Rings of Power S2 - Official Teaser Trailer | Prime Video

I wouldn’t put it past these showrunners. It’s probably going to be because she’s “too proud” to make it known that Sauron tricked her, but if you ask me that isn’t any less stupid than a Sauron-Galadriel romance.

aleph, to uk_politics in Three councillors resign over Labour's ‘lily-livered stand’ on Gaza

Why shouldn’t three elected politicians make a statement to the local press?

aleph, (edited ) to news in A school banned all books with LGBTQ+ parents. Now people are fighting back.

That reminds me of this real exchange in the Missouri state legislature regarding the “Don’t Say Gay” bill that banned any mention of “sexual orientation or gender identity” in schools.

aleph, (edited ) to television in ‘Shōgun’ Seasons 2 and 3 in Development

They could simply continue from where they left off in Season 1 and fill in the blanks? I personally felt the ending was a little unsatisfying.

Either way, it’s a bold move. It wouldn’t be the first time a team of writers has had to come up with completely original material and fallen flat on their faces.

aleph, (edited ) to losangeles in “The Cops Brought Guns”: Sights and Sounds from the UCLA Liberated Zone

-> Protests go on peacefully for X number of days.

-> University management call in the cops.

-> News headlines the next day: CAMPUS PROTESTS TURN VIOLENT

aleph, to atheism in Parents actually give this book to their kids.

Ah ok, so what they mean to say isn’t so much that fossils contradict evolution but that the existence of fossils can be explained by the biblical account of Noah’s Flood.

Not the same thing of course, but then hardly surprising given the apparent level of scientific understanding on display.

aleph, to atheism in Parents actually give this book to their kids.

They show how fossils contradict evolution

I’ve heard most creationist talking points before but this one is new.

How do they attempt to argue that the existence of fossils contradicts evolution by natural selection?

aleph, to reddit in Is Lemmy a good alternative?

You’re fine as long as you don’t decide to jump in and offer a contrary opinion.

aleph, to reddit in Is Lemmy a good alternative?

I find that lemmy has less of an echo chamber, but the average political stance is a lot more left-ish than reddit.

This is true once you’ve blocked Lemmygrad and Hexbear, which are as much echo chambers as r/The_Donald ever was.
