And I have noticed no benefit. WTF are they actually committing? More antisocial shit? More rearranging of the UI? More user hostile stuff? It may just be time to leave the fucking Internet forever. Everyone and everything just fucking sucks.

The summary says merchant fees will reduce "by an average of 0.1% over several years" so I'd say the chances of this making anything cheaper at point of sale is on par with the sun going supernova in the next several minutes.

Hey great. Wonderful news. Yes, I will admit that the Democrats are a MUCH better deal than the Republicans.... but

Your measurements are relative. I do consider the relative, but first and most important, I check the absolute. The absolute contains Democrats fully owned by wealthy people who vote for laws that further enslave the mind and body of humans.

Is it better to vote for a Democrat than a Republican? You betcha. Is it okay to vote for a Democrat because they are a Democrat? Absolutely not.

I will vote for absolutely zero people with an R next to their name. Unfortunately, I will be voting for absolutely zero people with a D next to their name either. I would vote for a few people with a D next to their name, but they are not eligible to receive my voted. I would love to vote for AOC or Jasmine Crockett. Are either really capable of running a competent government? Doubtful, but their voices are better than the rest of the Democrats... and FAR FAR superior to anything the Republicans have said. They have gone full genocidal maniac at this point. WTF is up with Trump begging the Supreme Court to not force his administration to make SNAP payments? Jesus fucking Christ on a pogo stick. The Supreme Court agreed in less than 24 hours. I am personally not affected yet, but I see a LOT of death in the near future as people start getting desperate.

Think about it for a minute: They are forgoing FREE work by humans, to PAY a machine to do it. Something doesn't add up here. Why are they willing to throw money away to make an inferior product?

Most importantly, why would anyone volunteer to help Mozilla ever again?

Truly psychopathic and sociopathic at the same time. Money has fucked up Mozilla.

Time to update yourself: now they're called Influenza`s.

I was with you until:

For that, we turn to PR people

> Bruh. Apt already relies on Perl, which has no formal language specification. What nonsense is this?

You are right, which is why I don't think this is a huge deal.

Though perl5 compatibility back to c.2000 is pretty good.

Today's rust code most likely won't run in 2050 on modern compilers.

But perl4 code doesn't run well today either.

Yet nothing in trixie needs to run anything from buzz - so as long as everything works within a version or two it's hard to imagine anybody being negatively affected.

I have a UPS package shipped Overnight/Saturday Delivery on Friday and it now appears to be on a truck near Chicago. It was originally scheduled to transit from South Dakota to New England.

New delivery date is Tuesday. I hope the sender gets his money back!

(I didn't need it that quickly but the sender was making good on a delivery date guarantee, at a loss of his profits).

I have a floppy controller on order that doesn't know how to read disks; it just passes through magnetic field data to software which is supposed to be able to reconstruct the disk image.

Hopefully these tapes will be OK to read as long as somebody can build a magnetic read head of the correct type.

Maybe with ML there will be a reasonable chance of reconstructing faded regions. Old audio tape is still mostly fine, so fingers crossed.

BTW, what a great job these folks have!

> No need for all that. Either "Judgement is for the other side" or "Case dismissed." Clears the docket, and slows down these kinds of submissions until they're at least doublechecked.

Interesting. I think you've changed my mind about this.

Economic incentives are probably the way to go.

> Hopefully there are more relevant "science objectives" than this dead issue.

It's an exoteric story. Really they want funding to build rockets and this is a technology demonstrator.

But there is a theory that the asteroid belt is the former crust of Mars. More data on that would be interesting.

It's of course "widely discredited" but not with a scientific method or anything. Comparing isotope ratios would be fun someday.

If you REALLY want to you can set this in pavucontrol in about twenty seconds. Should last until the browser restarts.

Might even work with pipewire if the planets are aligned.
