I'm honestly surprised that the CISA spokeswoman didn't include a non-sequitir like "we are re-building a world class workforce after the DEI-driven destruction caused by Biden's administration" nor a statement praising Donald Trump. Typically at least one of the two is included in any deflection offered by the current administraiton.

... until morale improves!

According to the NYT, employees have been asked to work remotely that day and emails about the layoffs would be sent at 4 a.m. local time.

This seems incredibly sociopathic. It's basically "don't let the door hit you on the way out, because I DON'T WANT YOUR ASS PRINTS ON MY DOOR!"

Are you complaining about the long established indulgent practice by game console companies where they call something 'exclusive'

No, I'm complaining that it's being reported as if a practice of releasing "PlayStation Exclusive" titles on PC has stopped. However, the reality is that it had never actually started. I thought my suggested title would have made it apparent but I think that would require you read my comment in the first place.

should be effectively reburning in particulate.

They reduce particulate matter significantly but 20% of a shitload is still a lot.

You seem to be avoiding the point that it is release lead into the atmosphere.

So if anything only slightly dirtier in terms of smoke stack emissions vs the natural gas or propane counter parts,

Carbon emissions and particulate matter emissions are entirely different. Methane and propane burn clean but generate CO2. Wood is carbon neutral but significantly impacts air quality. Neither one is "slightly" anything compared to the other, they are polar opposites in these departments.

I would bet...

And you would lose that bet.

Comment Overland cables, anyone? (Score 2) 393

I wonder when it's gonna start making more sense to start opting for land routes for new cables, when possible. The bad actors can still try to attack them, of course, but they'll be easier to monitor and repair. When conflict erupts, you could probably protect a land cable reasonably well with drones.

Actually, this script supports profiles - one of which seems like a good fit for desktop Linux. From TFA:

Profile descriptions (from --help):

    minimal Core filesystems + essential kernel modules only
    conservative Minimal + common server/VM drivers (default)
    desktop Conservative + WiFi, Bluetooth, audio, video drivers

conservative is the right choice for virtualised or bare-metal server Linux. desktop is for laptops and workstations where WiFi, Bluetooth, audio, and video drivers must be preserved. minimal is for environments where you have full control over which drivers are loaded and want the smallest possible baseline.

If you remove the primary function from a device then it follows that the device is no longer functional. The process of making a device non-functional is effectively destruction because it now lacks its functional raison d'etre.

Literal destruction? No.
Effective destruction? Yes.
