deleting someone’s entire git history

Based on the image text this is for new accounts only. My account has neither phone nor credit card and I’ve not been asked to re-verify. Maybe they’re having problems with bots at the moment.

Pascal’s little-known friend Luigi’s wager.

This is brilliant. Definitely going to try this tomorrow.

Not only that - they’re dying in the street immediately adjacent to vacant luxury condos.

A good pair of pliers, like the Knipex Cobra.

It seems silly to be distrustful of proprietary BIOS firmware without having the same skepticism of the actual hardware.

I had a linux 5520 and it was terrible. Standby and bluetooth never worked properly. Are the new models any better?

I think it’s more like “snuck up on us” than any kind of nefarious connotation. Kind of like “how did a niche game like BG3 sneak into the top ten games list”?

Blocked by my employer’s security policies.

Joke’s on you - my back hurts all the time!

And no decryption keys for other attached drives.

Don’t be so quick to dismiss the feedback from compliance teams. It’s possible TOU are written such that you really can’t store data on the client without agreement. It’s also possible that other regulations besides GDPR apply that you may not be aware of, for example those specific to banking or health.

Does everyone have to like it or do I just get to pick one and everyone has to live with it? If the latter, I might give technocracy a try…

Honestly it’s refreshing to not see the word “slammed” for once…

Even worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads (lower-case) it will often break things.

I think the appropriateness of this criticism is highly dependent on subject. You can fit Maxwell’s equations on a sticky note, but most electrical engineering work will be learning how to apply those laws in a practical way. On the other hand, if you’re in an English Literature course and didn’t read the literature your class will be discussing, that’s on you.

Is chocolate milk really that much less healthy than regular 2% milk? AFAICT they are basically the same, with the former having an extra 5g or so of added sugar per 8oz glass. It’s much better for you than, say, apple juice which is almost entirely just sugar.

A moral absolutist would argue that most, or even all, are wrong in one way or another. One can be a moral absolutist without claiming to be able to evaluate the morality of any particular scenario.

To provide an analogous example, there is a two-player game called Hex for which it has been proven that there exists a dominant strategy for the first player, but a generalized winning strategy is unsolved. One can soundly assert that such a strategy exists without knowing what it is. Likewise, its not fundamentally invalid to assert that there exist absolute moral truths without knowing what they are.

the fact that all morals are made up

You’re starting from the basic axiom of moral relativism. A moral absolutist would disagree with this axiom.

If there are no moral truths, then serial killers have done nothing wrong for example

This does not follow from moral relativism. Moral relativism simply states the morality of serial killers is determined by people rather than an absolute truth.

For example, if you add the detail of “serial killer of humans”, most societies would deem that morally wrong. In contrast, “serial killer of wasps” would be considered perfectly fine by many. A moral relativist would say the difference between these two is determined by society.

You can, of course, claim that murdering humans is not morally wrong. A moral absolutist might say “you’re wrong because X”, while a moral relativist might say “I don’t agree because X”.
