I don’t know about the other guy but it definitely looks like Moomin is going over that cliff.

I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada Post says layoffs aim to ‘align our management team’ amid overhaul - National | Globalnews.ca
11·1 day agoThat was the problem all along: The management was out of alignment.
There is much confusion about such things. “Increased surveillance” is how many people understood the worst part of C-2, but it was much worse than just that. The stuff that remains (presumably; I haven’t read the new bills) could also be described as increased surveillance but isn’t the same thing as the completely over-the-top ill-considered lunge in the direction of “lawful access” that was in the original.
Yeah by “do whatever you like” I mean install MO2, edit the registry, run dyndolod, mess around with system dlls, whatever. One thing I’ve just learned about that might be useful: https://github.com/SulfurNitride/NaK
The “immutable” thing shouldn’t be a problem I’d think. Games installed through e.g. steam aren’t affected by that — it just does its own thing creating a wine prefix for the game somewhere in your home directory. You should be free to do whatever you like in there.

Europe@feddit.org•What I Wish I Had Known About Germany Earlier - Ai Weiwei
41·4 days agoIf half the world is failing in precisely the same ways at this time, it’s all the more valuable to publish the words of an artist who’s able to point it out.

Europe@feddit.org•What I Wish I Had Known About Germany Earlier - Ai Weiwei
12·4 days agoWhen people sense that power is beyond challenge, they redirect their energy into trivial disputes. And those trivialities, collectively, are enough to erode a society’s very foundations of justice.
This is more true than usual in more places than just Germany.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The handhold opening of a kitchen cutting board allows you to turn it into a melee weapon.

vegan@lemmy.world•Impossible Foods CEO Says The Plant-Based Sector Became Too 'Woke And Partisan'
8·4 days ago“The Plant-Based Sector” aka most of agriculture. Rather than worrying about how to target vegans, how to target meat-eaters, and how “woke” you should be, wouldn’t a better image to project be one of having the main goal of producing things that are appealing to people who like to eat food?
The cost estimate for Accessory Dwelling Unit 01 in Ontario is 250k
Huh. Based on estimates I happened to see 20 years ago you could’ve built three rather nice houses each one twice that size for less money then. Maybe the rate of inflation has been a wee bit under-reported over the years?

UK Politics@feddit.uk•Bridget Phillipson unable to tell trans woman which toilet she should use
49·6 days agoI was in a big multi-user unisex bathroom type of situation for the first time in my life the other day, in a shopping centre. I thought nothing of it until a couple members of the opposite sex walked in while I was there, and decades of training made me think for a moment that someone was in the wrong place. That feeling must be why it’s such a big political issue. Took me at least ten seconds to get over it.

Linux@programming.dev•Ubuntu 25.10 Unattended Upgrades Broken Due To Rust Coreutils Bug
11·6 days agodate -r reports current date instead of date specified by reference file
Seems like it was not simply a “difference compared to GNU coreutils” — it was just giving completely the wrong date.

Linux@programming.dev•Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change
2·6 days agoReading more carefully I see that the real reason is "the /run directory is created as a tmpfs filesystem specifically for run-time files by systemd-tmpfiles.
I forgot that systemd had been allowed to take over /tmp and /run.

I prefer to generate random words (mostly for generating passwords):

Opinion: The idea that the USA is making foreign policy decisions on the basis of Trump seeing that ad and being offended by it is absurd, and nobody should believe it. He’s stupid, but he’s not that stupid.
