@serge@johanneskastl That's interesting, that you think of useradd as the canonical one! I keep a reminder to myself about defaulting to adduser, because I can never remember which is which, but now I think maybe my reminder oversimplifies things.
@carlmalamud Oh that. Yeah, I heard about it. I just assumed that the intersection of "people who donate to Wikipedia" and "people who listen to Elon Musk" is the empty set.
@carlmalamud Ok, but I still didn't know what memo I missed. (Of course, given that I've pretty clearly signaled that I don't have an open mind regarding what that memo is apparently saying, perhaps it doesn't matter that I remain otherwise unfamiliar with it!)
@carlmalamud Wha-hut? Did I miss a memo? Is someone proposing that Wikipedia (to which I donate, and intend to continue donating, monthly) is not a good cause?
@jreschke@rudytheelder Can confirm it is still incomplete as of right now. The problem goes deep -- it's present in the URL itself, not just in the rendered page:
@gvwilson Aw, what a heartwarming response. Hi as well, and thank you for Software Carpentry and everything at The Third Bit and your posts here -- it's all on my click-and-read-by-default list, which, let me immodestly assure you, is highly selective attentional real estate!
@gvwilson I happened to see this post of yours and the one immediately before it together, the one right after the other, in my timeline, so I treated them as threaded. But in my fedi client, they weren't actually shown as threaded, which makes me wonder if you had explicitly threaded them or if you just posted one and then the other? (I guess I'm asking for a technical detail so I can't decided whether I have a bug, basically.)
@civicwhitaker Eh-yup. The signs are getting pretty hard to miss :-/.

Karl FogelThese are tests. Suing the pollster who (incorrectly, it turned out) showed him being down in Iowa right before the election. Getting the GOP to agree to push an FBI probe of Liz Cheney for the second impeachment. All it is really just Trump probing to find out the boundaries of what he can get away with. Will a court dismiss the lawsuit in 5 milliseconds, as it should? Well, maybe, but maybe not, and hey, why not try? It'd be great news for him if he were to discover otherwise -- truly important information to know, if you're trying to know all the levers that are available to you to punish your enemies. Will the FBI investigate a U.S. Representative for conducting her official duties in an above-board manner? You and I may hope not, but for Trump the best news would be that the FBI is willing to go there -- not so much because he wants to punish Liz Cheney (though he wants that too) but because then he'd know he has a very powerful, versatile tool at his disposal for threatening and punishing more people.
Expect to see similar tests involving the military very soon after Trump's second inauguration.
