Voting isn't some bargain between a thousand voting groups and one candidate. Let's break it down.

THERE ARE TWO CANDIDATES

YOU PICK THE BEST CANDIDATE

Note that 'best' isn't 'great'; nor is it 'good', 'awesome', etc. And, while there are more candidates, sometimes only two have a chance (Hi Ross Perot!). So it's a binary choice. There has to be someone in office. You pick the least-worse one.

The unmentioned third option is "If you vote third party or don't vote at all, you accept the consequences of a worst-case scenario".

I'm really thinking America didn't educate people on 'this or that'.

Ha ha

Under-complicated -> over-complicated -> under-complicated.

There's a 'just right' that I think you skipped through.

I have a SystemD service

The irony is how lennart and his cancer approached standards, top to bottom.

Now I want McRibs.

Stop calling me ~~shirley~~ Peertube.

(the comma delimiting the subclause goes on both ends)

Welllll we would debate the 'canadianness' of people visiting Florida. They're probably Albertans. :-p

Yep. It can only be secure after it's crushed, now.

That's like saying "we have him root but then took it away."

No, once someone has root its kinda it.

(Butbutbut selinux) No, not gonna help.

(Butbutbut we took it away) Chroot binaries are fun.

Etc.

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

Ah, RedHat (rpmdb failure) (self.linux)

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

error: rpmdb: BDB0113 Thread/process 13664/139968089683776 failed: BDB1507 Thread died in Berkeley DB library

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

Screen width and web dev (self.technology)
 

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

Where's the "Did MSFT sharepoint just go down again today" posting space? (self.technology)
 

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

#174 Fedora Linux With The Project Leader | Matthew Miller, in which RedHat stabbing the GPL in the back may or may not affect Fedora (www.youtube.com)
 

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
