@skinnylatte have you actually gone out and tried it? 😜

@jmeowmeow @lauren I'm going to bet on the answer being, "yes"

@theeclecticdyslexic @thomasfuchs I was gonna guess the union victory, myself

@thomasfuchs oh, wow: so I was gonna assert that laserdiscs were dead by the time of DS9; but apparently they died ·during· release 😛 (I guess seasons 6 & 7 are just SOL)
⋮
ok, according to at least 2 search results, DS9 was indeed also shot on film (as TNG was): so, if that film wasn't destroyed/lost, maybe in a better future we'll get a remaster…

@thomasfuchs wait, they released DS9 on laserdisc? huh…

@mhoye do you have any insight into how the hell the age check even made it a whole hour into Linux in the first place? It's possible I'm being hopelessly naïve here, but I really thought every Linux user/admin/programmer/whoever would've literally rioted in the streets before countenancing anything remotely like it.

@skinnylatte coïncidentally, I was recommended this video on YouTube recently: https://youtu.be/56O8pp-x8Zg

@GreenSkyOverMe @StillIRise1963 I think he knows he's dying, and is intending this to be "Trump's Tomb" 😛
(cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenin%27s_Mausoleum )

@mhoye this probably isn't a helpful addition, but I'm irritated about it, so I'm tooting, regardless 😛

They pulled this shit with fucking ·sudo· as well: "drop-in" replacing (🤣 ) with a rust version. The rust version ·completely· ignores /etc/sudoers.d; but if you use `alternatives` to revert to the C version, then of course that functionality is restored.

One more serious addition: I'm not at all convinced it ·is· time to "rewrite/rebuild": at least when it comes to linux-specific rust efforts (both kernel and userspace), this currently is starting, from my perspective, to feels a lot more like a fad than a sincere effort based on superior engineering principles (I agree that rust has several compelling features in a systems language, memory-safety chief amongst them; that doesn't imply every system should be rewritten in ti, ASAP)

@thomasfuchs oh shit, 40%, now‽ last I heard it was at least under 30%…

@ATLeagle how/where did you accomplish this? I'm in the same dumb state and looking for one (out of curiosity: why/how on earth was Alabama your backup?)

@cks can you at least summarize the blog entry as a toot in response to this inquiry? if you don't actually get around to writing said blog entry? I never used a lisp-machine, but i've only ever heard good things about them…

@kims Michael Crichton was an asshole; but he coined the term Gell-Mann Amnesia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#Gell-Mann_amnesia_effect) in 2002, which should have meant the immediate end of the NYT as a going concern 😛

@hellomiakoda do you have any kind of biometric login enabled (i.e. fingerprint-reader)?

@hellomiakoda if you grep for your username in /etc/passwd, what's the last field show? it should be a shell

@hellomiakoda is there a a /var/log/auth.log file, and does it tell you anything useful?

@steggy @paco If I used the phrase, "flashlight tag", would that have any meaning to you? 😜

#monsterdon

So, I swear I'm not slut-shaming in any way; but what precise shade of /harlot/ is that lipstick…😜

#monsterdon

It's a Rated-R horror movie; but it's still the 80's, so they can't use the "a"-word…

#monsterdon

@skinnylatte that just brought one of my dogs running in, trying to figure out what that noise was…🙂
