Well, macOS is UNIX. Certified, trademarked, all that, has been for decades. Mostly because Apple is one of the few companies that pays the fee, because it really doesn't matter these days. In some ways it's more UNIX-like than Linux now, because it doesn't have the systemd cancer that's infected a lot of distros.

Not so much TV OS, there's definitely no reason to certify that as UNIX. But it's still a *nix, every OS Apple releases is at the core.

Comment Similar to Elon Musk? (Score 1) 60

No one knows how many offspring Musk has. No one knows if has interacted with them all. It seems he has paid surrogates and IVF so he may have not even met some mothers or children.

Palmer Luckey is a creep just like Musk. It seems at least possible that some of his personal genetic material would make it into his uber-hound. And Kash Patel is good with FBI agents that may have involvement with bestiality.

I started thinking of this as a horrible joke, but I'm so weirded out now I'm wondering if it could end up being true.

Trump Admin Faces Row as Unrepresented 1-Year-Old Faces Deportation

A 1-year-old child appeared without legal representation in an Arizona immigration court this week and was told to file an asylum application before the next hearing or risk being ordered deported.

Your pretense that the Trump regime is reasonable shows you are on the side of sadistic monsters. It's already known that many minors have "disappeared" in Border Patrol/ICE detention.

What's happened to them? Some of them have certainly ended up victims of child trafficking in both labor and sex slave situations. Given that Trump likes to fuck 13 year old girls, and Kash Patel is OK with FBI agents having sex with animals, it might be even worse then that.

Are you OK with this stuff? What the fuck is wrong with you? I think you have abandoned being a normal human being.

I used Airbnb for the first time this year.

It was fine. Cabin in the Smokies, the only requests were to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher and start it (they provided dishwasher pills), put any furniture that we'd moved back where it was, and put the trash in the bear-resistant cans outside. I asked about washing the sheets, they said let the cleaners do it. I did use the washer and dryer a few times, they provided detergent and softener.

No extra fees for anything, the up front price was what I paid.

If I was staying in a city, I'd use a hotel. But I had a conference in the area, and I thought a place with lots of space and a hot tub would be nice. It was. It included a full kitchen complete with cooking equipment and a smoker grill. The price was comparable to a hotel room for the week. The only camera was at the front door, it was disclosed, and if any others were hidden they were hidden really well, including from a network scan.

Now that Trump and Putin are on the same side and call each other Comrade, not only will Russia have access to all the data and design specs, Trump will be building one these and just gift it to Putin. They'll co-own a new company that builds the next generation spy satellite, then they'll both steal all the funding for themselves. If they ever launch something it will be a cheap useless piece of crap that will orbit and do nothing.

Why assume that any lawyer who works for Z would also respect the law? It's certain that they all are egomaniacs who think they can get away with anything.

Hopefully they're having trouble sleeping and have to take prescription medication right now.

My current attitude is that I live for caffeine and schadenfreude. I cant have coffee right now because of the time, but I'm high on schadenfreude. I anticipate a lot of fun over an extended period of time from this one.

You could easily get Japanese goverment support and live well for almost free in the Fukushima exclusion zone. If you like quiet country living it would be a great move and there would be very close to zero neighbors.

And if you crave really primitive back to the (radioactive) land homesteading there's always Chernobyl adjacent property. As long as you avoid chunks of radioactive heavy equipment and don't sneak in to see the Elephant's Foot area it will be fine. The chances of Russia destroying the new containment structure verses terrorists taking over those cute little reactors in Indiana are near equal as far as anyone can predict right now.

Can you get this much cheaper over on Temu? As a sub-contractor I'm only interested in purchase cost, not reliability, maintenance, or disposal. I need the cheapest one because my business model only works if I find the lowest price. Maybe one that has been returned and refurbished. Think cost sensitive/radiation tolerant. Any recommendations for the low end of the market?

You were born to grovel. The Constitution explicitly grants the running of elections to the state level, not the Federal government. Doing this in the executive branch is 100% unconstitutional.

This is overtly part of the ongoing effort to overthrow the government and establish a fascist regime in the US. Either you are dumber then a box of rocks or you want to be a willing slave in a totalitarian society.

You wouldn't know freedom if it bit you on the ass.

Comment Re:Building wealth (Score 5, Insightful) 202

When you say "We live in a capitalistic society that builds wealth" your are using "we" to exclude people. Your "we" explicitly excludes at least the lower 50% of the US population. Besides not having the option of owning a home, which was doable for a lot of people in the post WW2 era, many people don't have any retirement savings except Social Security. And there are also far too many Americans who are a paycheck or two away from homeliness. People are buying groceries on credit, which is insane.

Even though you won't admit it, your position has the direct effect of condemning millions of people of poverty and an early death. The population in the socialist Europe has a better life experience and increasing life expectancy while the US is falling behind. (That is an actual fact so I'm sure it makes you uncomfortable, and you may even try to refute it. I've had others of your ilk on Slashdot ask me to prove IRL facts. Do your homework and don't spread lies.)

You are benefiting from the current corrupt system and you literally don't care if people are dying in the street, as long as doesn't happen in front of you. That's what your professing when you end by saying "but don't change capitalism".

The IRL factual information supporting my position is the graph of the distribution of wealth in the US post 1950. Around the time of Regan the fortunes of normal humans started to go down while the (literal) fortunes of the rich started climbing. Follow the money: for over 50 years there has been a transfer of wealth from the bottom and middle to the top.

(Since you people are so predictable I will reference the riots in France. They have riots every so often, and so do we. However the ongoing daily violence in both urban and rural America dwarfs any similar activity in even the poorer parts of Europe. The statistics on IRL violence, including homicide, are undeniable. Not that that will effect your position.)
