US, mid thirties, and I not only drive a manual transmission, I go out of my way to insist upon it. For example, I own a truck and an SUV made in the '90s because it’s difficult to find newer ones without an automatic.

They can build fire removedant systems…

Is the company that makes them headquartered in Scunthorpe?

Not for long if Lennart has anything to say about it, I’m sure.

Sure, regulations such as carbon taxes are necessary to contain negative externalities, but if there’s a demand for cheap products there will be a lowest bidder that will take all market share.

If the taxes are accounting for the externalities well enough, even the lowest bidder will be sustainable.

While DRM is the bane of everybody there are cases where trust and integrity is important and it’s an intriguing look into how hard it is to manage.

Nah, when the user wants to ensure trust and integrity in his own system, it works just fine. The problem comes when the user who needs to be able to access the data is simultaneously the adversary who needs to be stopped from accessing the data.

In other words, it’s one of those situations where the fact that it’s hard to manage is a gigantic clue that it’s wrongheaded to try to do so in the first place.

According to the Open Source Initiative (the folks who control whether things can be officially certified as “open source”), it basically is the same thing as Free Software. In fact, their definition was copied and pasted from the Debian Free Software guidelines.

Edit: wait… return ! 0 ; wtf

I mean, returning non-zero exit status on error is just good practice. It even managed to evaluate to the same numerical value as EXIT_FAILURE when I tested it on my machine (gcc 11.4.0 linux x86-64), although I’m not sure if that’s always the case or if it’s undefined behavior.

This cursed code is quite well-written.

Yes, as are n and i. Do they not deserve ‘fleekness?’

I have a similar issue (also Firefox on [K]ubuntu 22.04) every time I open a link on a logged-in site in a new tab, but in my case merely refreshing the page is enough to get me logged back in.

I assume is most likely the fault of the fairly aggressive mix of extensions I’m running rather than Firefox itself, but I haven’t actually tried to troubleshoot it yet.

Pro tip: the arguments to main() don’t have to be named argc and argv.

Also, you forgot to #define an alias for atoi, and number, n, and i could’ve been named something more on fleek.

“Reduce, reuse, recycle” is listed in order from best option to worst. Bandit has improved the outcome by reusing instead of allowing you to recycle.

bicycles won’t solve the climate crisis

Not with that attitude!

More specifically, not with that disingenuous attitude that implies giving folks bicycles and changing nothing else, trying to shame them into using a mode that’s worse for them in order to altruistically help everybody else. Of-fucking-course that’s never gonna work!

Instead, what actually has to change is the zoning laws that shape the built environment the bicycles are operate in. We have to stop limiting density and mandating parking requirements, which not only physically force destinations farther apart (putting fewer within walking or biking distance) and cause the space between to be filled with car-infested asphalt (making walking and biking unpleasant), but also subsidize driving by forcing an oversupply of parking, driving down the price.

Removing the regulations and allowing developers to build as compactly as the market would dictate would cause people to freely choose bicycling because it would become more convenient than driving, and that is what would help solve the climate crisis!

LOL, my faith snapped the better part of a decade ago.

At this point, I’ve realized that they’re deliberately exploiting the charitable attitudes of people like you in order to troll us.

That’s the thing that annoys me most about Duolingo: if they’re going to show you ads, the least they could do is show you ones in the language you’re trying to learn instead of your native one.

I don’t care what the excuses are; they aren’t valid.

Considering that this is new capacity, not total capacity, it’s a fucking absurd outrage that it’s anything less than 100.0%.

Every percentage point less than that represents us continuing to make the problem even worse even though we goddamn well know better!

I wish there were a selfhosted alternative that would sync with banks like mint.com does, but I haven’t found one yet.

I’ve also dabbled a little trying to make one, but it seems like banks don’t really want you to use their API unless you’re Intuit.

Jellyfin is to Plex as Lemmy is to Reddit.

It keeps track of which files you’ve played (e.g. to automatically pick the next episode in a series), it automatically downloads metadata and cover art so you have a nice browsing interface, it manages multiple profiles so that e.g. you can limit your kids’ access to only G and TV-Y or filter out genres a user doesn’t like, it lets you set parental controls to limit the amount of time watched in a day (or disable it at certain times of day), etc.
