Yeah that happens when someone blocks you (as opposed to just muting)

> working class owning means of the production

Individually or collectively?
When a trucker owns his truck, does that count towards that goal?

Just to make sure:
is this post that was the start of this entire thread: https://mas.to/@TechConnectify/113439228778559485
visible to you?

If what you want is to feel good for being right on the internet, and making some "evil people" angry, then sure, you can stay on the level of buzzwords and abstract ideas like "capitalism" and "socialism".

But as TechnologyConnections said, these words mean sth different to everyone, and most people associate strong emotions with them and get defensive. That hinders reasonable discussion.

> claim about how Russia was doing before the ussr fell, ignoring why that was the case

You're assuming everyone knows why it was the case, but most ppl don't. As TechnologyConnections said in the OP, you're jumping to step 8, but you gotta start with step 1.

> implementation is where that gets tricky to define

Implementation is all that matters.

> blocking someone for calling out their nonsense is quite hilarious

Sandwich had every right to block you.
And I think it's not hilarious. It's sad. Because it means communication broke down before the two of you had a chance to understand each other.

@domi @lanodan there is one ICMP type I'd be worried about: ICMP Redirect

@domi because only a fiendish admin would block ICMP Message Too Long

@didleth how do you get stuck in nano...

it literally tells you how to exit it at the bottom of the screen...

@grayrattus doesn't BIOS have keybindings written somewhere on the screen, telling you which key to use to exit it? So it's kinda like getting stuck in nano...

in my case, I was somewhere around 13-14, and my dad baited me into installing a Debian without GUI.

At that time I had barely used Linux before, so I didn't know what editor one would use in commandline if midnight commander wasn't installed. Asked my dad and he vaguely remembered there was `ed` which was a PITA, and then there was `vi`.

So I opened vi.
And didn't know how to exit.
Dad didn't know either.

So I did a Alt+F2, killall vi

@sjb
> buying a home

wtf this keeps weirding me out about US English: I thought you can buy a house, and make it your home, but you cannot buy a home, since the word "home" describes your relationship with the place....

@ayo that's... surprising

any idea what's going on?

@izaya unfortunately it's for US election, not Australian election :/

@drewdevault
> beta 1.7.3

that was a fine vintage

@mikoto oof...

sounds like a game where teamwork is very important - I too would probably prefer to play those with friends

@mikoto I'm guessing different players have different expectations (and hence having different servers would be better instead of a one-size-fits-all matchmaking) but in my case, I don't mind getting destroyed by better players... as long as (a) I know they really are that good and it's humanly possible to do what they did, and (b) it's the same people over and over again, so I can see if I'm getting better.

@algernon no, I mean on a higher level.

Chunked encoding is one of the ways to drliver a response incrementally.

The browser makes several types of http requests that are not initiated by JS - requests for img src, for stylesheets, for the html document itself, etc.

Which of those accidentally support incremental responses, and who was the first to abuse it as a way to send server-initiated content changes?

I vaguely remember there was a cool hack with some part of a website being served by a server that just never signals end of file, and adds new content to it in a streaming fashion... in a way that the web browser isn't aware of but it still happens to work... doea anyone remember what that was?
