There are no large sources of waste, unless you count "money spend for things we don't agree with". That said, I think you underestimate how much waste results from people doing things that computers could do, but which nobody has spend the money to automate.

I feel like the Elon Musk trade is fairly straightforward.

People buy the stock because they trust Elon Musk, and his companies are good enough to continually increase profits or revenue (that is, he's good at avoiding things that scare away investors). Because of that, the stock will continue to go up until Elon dies or retires.

When Elon dies, that's the sign to sell.

If you are writing in C, it's basically essential to use your own C string library. It's easy to do, just encapsulate those things into something more sane.

This kind of thing should be encapsulated in a macro or function so you don't make mistakes.

Using the raw stdlib string library will cause security problems. These can be avoided 100% by using custom string functions.

Looked at LaunchD and decided, 'This would be better if it were done in a Microsoft way."

The only people who say that haven't actually looked at the source code, or are liars. I don't know which one you are.

At least you didn't say "Systemd is small", which it isn't.

Fork it into the trash.

It's possible the systemd team sees the field as a way to make their software more "sticky." If the data gets stored by systemd, then systemd because a little harder to remove.

That is a horrible development strategy for good software, but it does make the software more likely to remain. The Darwinistic incentive is there for enshittification.

Aren't drone ranges largely limited by weight instead of battery storage space?

Is a SuperPAC grassroots? No.

The author of Revelation was not a fan of the Roman economic project. It was built on cruelty, just like our corporate system is today.

Of course, if you got your understanding of the bible from a crappy evangelical church, you are not going to understand it. If you got your understanding of the bibble from a catholic church, they intentionally obfuscated it.

You also have to give them achievable parameters. "You are always responsible" is not realistic. In some cases someone else is, in fact, responsible. And that's the rub of regulation, not that I think this means we shouldn't regulate, but it's going to always be true that doing it well takes effort. You can only ever reasonably expect that people are moving forwards (at best) and doing what is reasonably and humanly possible, and hopefully advancing the state of the art. Determining whether or not they are doing that is inherently complex.

That's how it used to work here in the USA. Then the subsidies were terminated in favor of forcing students to get loans. Then a US senator led a campaign to prevent those students from discharging that debt through bankruptcy. That senator's name was (and is) Joseph R. Biden.

The boomers got the handout. I don't want anything they didn't get.

I don't expect to get it. I do expect to immediately discount any bullshit from the hypocrites who got it and think I shouldn't get it.

You didn't get it, and you're insisting nobody deserves it because you didn't get it, which is sad. You're sad.

OK, how do we provide this feedback? The article is chock-full of links, but not one for that. It gives strong "get fucked" energy.

Since it's not worth putting out the effort to figure out where to submit some comments they definitely won't give a fuck about anyway: In no way is it a "first class" anything when it's only for GNOME and only in a snap. Let us know when it's ready for prime time so we can test it out and decide if we care. There's a 0% chance I'm going to use GNOME or snap.

Yes.

So you moved the goalposts and declared victory? Good work, clown.
