@cjd ok but like

in order for the forfeited civil assets to become property of the police department, someone in the governor's office has to approve it every time, right?

That someone is either an elected politician or an office worker appointed by an elected politician, right?

@cjd hmm okay

> So they think it's going to be like some drug kingpin's airplane that gets seized

but why would Americans want the police to get the money from selling some drug kingpin's airplane, instead of spending that money on better roads, or schools, or sth?

Imagine coding something and *not* spending an hour figuring out the best choice every time you have a little decision to make.

How can people code like that and still feel that their code is correct? Do they have a boss with deadlines or sth?

@cjd why is it cringe?

@cjd does he at least faithfully represent his opponents' arguments, or does he strawman them?

@cjd no I mean, in the post you linked to, he seems to be debunking some 9/11 infographic by adding his own annotations to it.

Does the original infographic adequately represent the arguments of people who believe 9/11 was an inside job?

@cjd a lot of people haven't heard anything about 9/11 other than it collapsed after a collision with a hijacked plane

@cjd nerds be like "we were bullied at school for being socially awkward so now we will bully other socially awkward people because that's the only social dynamic we know"

@cjd when I inevitably do that too, please slap me with a large trout

@domi I dream of a time when all dark patterns lead to serious trouble for the company that develops the app, within a week of introducing them, so that everyone involved internalizes that this is a bad thing to do.

Because delayed feedback works poorly these days.

@phnt @waifu @VD15
it seems like 10 months ago he was still well liked, so it was necessary to wait until the grievances accumulated.

But yeah, apparently

If i wanted to understand Windows, is there any trick to it? Is there some pattern that once you understand it, everything falls into place and your reliance on documentation drops significantly?

PulseAudio is not dead - the source code is free, you can grab it, build it for your system, and run it till the end of time.

Also, I don't get the whole "shoved it down" part. Nobody can force you to update. If you have a working system on a particular computer that runs eg. Xorg and ALSA, why would you care what's in the newer version?

@lanodan @domi @evv42
What?
I thought dashless tar is a BSD thing...

@lanodan @domi @evv42 I know I was looking for one, not sure if I found one after all, but if I did, it was probably one that existed before any scripta had a chance to be born

@lanodan @domi @evv42 or rather, before you could expect scripts to work across different unices

@domi @evv42 the thing with tar is depending on which Unix it is, it may require dash before the operation flag, or may require no dash before the operation flag

@georgia @bartholin
I'm guessing the hardest part of accidentally defusing a warhead is forgetting about all the ways it can go wrong...

@CursedSilicon wait are you saying this isn't true? I've been avoiding trying out matrix for the last few years because people are saying it doesn't work and all they get is "unable to decrypt message"...

@sendpaws I agree that if someone has their full name and photos on their public profile on some socnet, then posting that is not doxing.

However, what Linduke did can be wrong for other reasons.

For example, how do you interpret that post other than an implied "please go bother this person" ?
