I think my favorite program in the entire linux/unix toolchain is "file". Did you even know about this program? It's on every system including MacOS and it's magic. You run it on any file and it just tells you what it is. Any file. I don't know who keeps this updated but it supports surprising things. Like it knows Windows file formats. If it's a executable it tells you if it's 32- or 64- bit. If it's an image it tells you the size and channels. If the file extension lies it just figures it out.

@mcc it's really really ugly and bad underneath. There's a reason why they used the term magic underneath

Sometimes, I think we need to stop blaming just Capitalism, and get more personal. Lots of countries use a Capitalistic system, but still manage to pay workers fair wages, provide free/inexpensive Healthcare, have paid maternity/paternity leave, longer paid vacation, shorter work weeks, ect. We use the word Capitalism like Christians use The Devil, but it's not some dark mysterious force, it is people who are choosing to treat other people like actual garbage, it is people who are making laws, people who are denying rights. The derision with which we speak the name of Elon Musk or Donald Trump, should be universal for rich fuckers who choose profits over people. They shouldn't get to hide behind, Oh, that's just late stage Capitalism. It's a choice for them, and it's a choice for the lobbyists who promote them, and it's a choice for the politicians who put those laws into action.

@RickiTarr We can't really have functional healthy capitalism without regulations and enforcement but we skipped that step to save money or something and now we have this hot piss soup we call an economy

> The development effort was shelved in 2017 after the companies and the U.S. Department of Energy had spent almost $500 million on the reactor design. In announcing the cancellation, Bechtel's Fred deSousa hit on one of the key issues facing all SMR developers-cost. "However, bringing a new reactor program through the design, engineering and regulatory process is a very complex and expensive proposition. It needed a plant owner with an identified location and an investor willing to wait a significant period of time for a return, and these were not available"

The US economy is not compatible with building nuclear because the investment return is far far too long

Thinking about how San Francisco was able to suspend all crime for days because Xi was visiting for a summit because they care more about kissing Biden's ass than making their shithole liveable for the people living there.

@sun @mrsaturday Giving them free shit isn't the definition of a sanctuary city though. That's a completely different policy. Is it common for a sanctuary city to also spend resources on the people and just make the problem worse? Sure.

Miami was a sanctuary city before DeSantis passed a law banning them, and it didn't have these other policies

Today, I had an alert on a self-hosted database running on with 1TB of RAM and 18TB of NVMe (in RAID10-like). 100% i/o write usage. 3k connections. Why on earth do we need that amount of resources? There must be something wrong in the design.

They have my flight logged already as arrived at the gate. This is a fucking lie. Are they trying to hide the history of how terrible these airports are managed?? We are going to be stuck on the tarmac waiting for a gate for at least 40 mins they said

At some point, it became Democratic orthodoxy that we must never judge candidates or expect better from them because every election is the most important election in history, a continual crisis where we have to pragmatically make tough choices in order to avoid an even worse outcome.

And fine, okay, but the crisis never ends, does it? The people who run on stopping the greater evil never do, nothing is done about it, our options get worse, and it feels like we're being taken advantage of.

@gwynnion the party is a private corporation and the crisis rhetoric raises funds. That's all you need to know.

@TURBORETARD9000 @prettygood steal money? Income. Family writes you a check? Income. Pick up a $20 off the ground? Income

It's all supposed to be reported and you are meant to pay taxes on it.

feld,
@feld@bikeshed.party avatar

@prettygood @TURBORETARD9000 Here's the thing, if you're ever in a situation where the IRS says you haven't paid all your taxes you just request they send you all the paperwork. And they have to. And then you know exactly what they know and you pay exactly what they have on record. Anything they don't know about you don't owe

Here's something I've noticed: if you pay for the cheap plane tickets because you don't need the other perks they don't give a fuck and they will just straight up cancel your flight / bump you to another shitty flight

Even if you don't need the guaranteed refund or extra luggage or whatever shit they offer you might as well pay for it or they'll screw you the first chance they get. I've seen it happen to a lot of family members lately and it just happened to me
