While this is mostly mismanagement, this statement is just silly. Of course there's an element of climate change involved in water management. Iran has already seen a decline in precipitation and it's estimated to only get drier. Combine that with the intensity of rain increasing causing flooding (which is bad for water management since it means water going to the ocean rather than into the ground) and you definitely have a contributor.

Now it's still nothing like contribution of mismanagement, but it's stupid to used the number "zero".

I think you'll find it's actually quite difficult to cut one's own head off.

This has nothing to do with Trump. It takes years of mismanagement to poison people on such a scale. This wasn't even about Trump, he wasn't mentioned, but thanks for showing the world you feel so triggered that you need to simp for him anytime anyone mentions something bad.

Why do you think that is? Why is it everytime anyone mentions bad government you think it's about Trump?

For short term transient activities backups are rarely done for most things.

Actually no. XDG defines 7 directories in total for apps to spread their data across. Firefox is now splitting up across *two* of them. What was previous in ~/.mozilla may not be found in ~/.config/mozilla or ~/.cache/mozilla

It's not bad, but the OP is on point saying that files are split up.

Incidentally GIMP spreads its files across 3 different folders (add ~/.local/share to the list), LibreOffice across three, the other two programs use just the one though.

And reporting desired features as bugs is the reason bugs are triaged and put somewhere, such as into a backlog bin of "maybe I'll do that when I get to it in the next decade".

Also no it's not the only way people can contribute. How much have you donated? Or let me guess, you only care about using the product for free and thing bug reporting is worth its weight in gold?

Nope. I'm saying that unless you are the coder then the priority for what gets done is exclusively at the behest of the coders. If you care about this "bug" that has been open for 15 years then contribute more than simply filling out a bugzilla request. If that 15 year old bug is still there the chances are that no one gives a shit about fixing it.

This isn't double/tripple dipping. It's more like 5 to 6 times dipping because you forget that they take license fees for encoders too.

Oh my god, you just proved my point so eloquently. I said you didn't read it properly, and you proceeded to ... not even look at all the words in the sentence.

I've never seen someone so stupid try and call someone else a dumbfuck. My friend I won't insult you further, with your self-own you're doing that job wonderfully yourself.

Sooner or later? They ignored the Supreme Court ordering them to facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia. Instead they spent a month coming up with some of the dumbest and lamest excuses as to why they couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't, musn't, etc. Only after every excuse fell flat they went "oh okay, and got the guy back within a couple of days"

We're well past the point of the Trump administration ignoring the courts.

In what way has copy-past been well defined since 1984. What is it you're copying and what is it you're pasting. In 1984 it was easy, that was text. It's not 1984. It's 2025. What is your text? Does it have formatting? Does it contain unicode characters? How does the target app handle the discrepancy. Are you copying the words, the underlying character codes which make them, the look of them, in what format is that define?

Precisely none of this is well-defined, in any OS from any vendor, largely because in 1984 no one could envisage the kind of thing that is being copied or pasted.

And even then Copy-Paste is a tool with an end goal in mind. Increasingly that end goal is to get text into an AI system so it makes perfect sense to offer a shortcut in that process.

You do. "We" (meaning the normal general users of the world) don't. Install a special purpose tool for the job like Notepad++ for your strange edge case of needing to manually write just text to a file.

In all seriousness though your post gave me a chuckle. Reminded me of the suicide booths in Futurama.

Now back in reality, what they'll do is blank ban all AI other than CoPilot and force users to use CoPilot, since Microsoft provides AI tools that specific follow data classification systems in place in the corporate Windows world, and that includes those used by their cloud services ... services that very much approved for use in government, healthcare and financial organisations, and explicitly compliant with laws such as HIPPA.

Now repeat after me: What you as a pleb can get is not the same thing a corporation or government gets.

Sidenote: I wish this was different. I work at such a sensitive corporation and as such I have CoPilot shoved down my throat while literally every other service is banned. We're stuck using the worst one.

Recommended by? I'm not sure if you understand how industry works but nothing "recommended" is ever done.

Nuclear reactors don't have hydrogen reformers. I'm not sure what words you think you are using but the IAEA gives guidance of many ways to deal with hydrogen and the word "reforming" doesn't come into it. The most common way of dealing with hydrogen build-up is venting it via FCVS to atmosphere, that includes in the USA.

Fukushima had an FCVS, they tried to use it. It failed to function.
It was designed in the USA, by GE, who in their wisdom decided this safety system shared a power source with the systems that are designed to prevent the build-up of hydrogen.

By the way those awesome US plants? Well they went through a panic retrofit of their venting systems after the Fukushima incident exposed their shit design.

Yes because different companies in different industries in a different country under different laws and different government and different culture is entirely representative of the the Japanese nuclear industry...

Thank god someone is still sane.
