That’s not how the word is commonly used though. In common parlance, everyone understands “anti-Semitic” to mean “anti-Jew”, even though that’s not what it means etymologically.

Disclaimer: being pro-palestinian does not necessarily mean you’re anti-Semitic, was just talking descriptive vs prescriptive vocabulary here.

Don’t worry, you can say Luigi Mangione here.

In Uni I ran Gentoo as my daily driver. It was stupid, but I learned a lot.

Trying and failing to get a working desktop environment, using IRC on the command line to get help from people who knew what they were doing and could advise a dumb kid like me, following their advice and getting a working DE after a reboot was the most hackerman I ever felt. I was convinced I was real hot shit. In actuality, I’d followed the advice to tweak the kernel config to get working drivers :))

Please don’t lump trademarks with the rest. Makers have stamped their goods with their mark since ancient times, both as advertising and to signify quality products (and not knockoffs). Swords were especially commonly marked with the smith’s trademark.

It was illegal to sell bread in ancient Rome without a trademark, for example. The punishments for doing so were harsh, as they wanted to be able to track down the baker if someone sold tainted bread.

In modern days, they’re useful for customers to know what company they’re buying from.

Has there been any progress on dropping tarrifs between provinces?

Wow, it’s almost like there might be people with different opinions that use Linux and Linux users aren’t a single hivemind.

Yeah, I work daily with a database with a very important non-ID field that is denormalized throughout most of the database. It’s not a common design pattern, but it is done from time to time.

It’s necessary to split it out into different tables if you have a one-to-many relationship. Let’s say you have a list of driver licenses the person has had over the years, for example. Then you’d need the second table. So something like this:

SSN_Table

ID | SSN | Other info

Driver_License_Table

ID | SSN_ID | Issue_Date | Expiry_Date | Other_Info

Then you could do something like pull up a person’s latest driver’s license, or list all the ones they had, or pull up the SSN associated with that license.

Theoretically, yeah, that’s one solution. The more reasonable thing to do would be to use the foreign key though. So, for example:

SSN_Table

ID | SSN | Other info

Other_Table

ID | SSN_ID | Other info

When you want to connect them to have both sets of info, it’d be the following:

SELECT * FROM SSN_Table JOIN Other_Table ON SSN_Table.ID = Other_Table.SSN_ID

EDIT: Oh, just to clear up any confusion, the SSN_ID in this simple example is not the SSN itself. To access that in this example query, it’d by SSN_Table.SSN

At least at the start, the instance was mostly networking and sysadmin nerds. During reddit’s APIocalypse, our admin started up the server and put up a detailed post about the hardware, infrastructure and benchmarking everything. Stuff like that is what drew me and many others to this instance.

Non-German but I am in the EU. Didn’t find it odd at all. Just assumed it was “flow market” in German.

There’s another factor that nobody mentioned: the sales tax in EU countries is different for different products. This allows countries to incentive or disincentivize different classes of products by ramping the sales tax up or down. Higher tax on junk food, cigarettes and/or alcohol, low or nonexistent sales tax for basic ingredients and medicine.

Interestingly, France and the Czech republic tax wine and beer respectively like basic food.

Not Invented Here. Basically, reinventing the wheel just so they can have full control of a project.

No, this is a very old joke that uses the fact the command has “fr” in it to trick people about what the command does. Joking aside, here’s what the command actually does:

rm is the command to delete files and folders

-f is the force modifier. This means it’ll keep going even if it encounters problems and just delete as much as it can

-r is the recursive modifier. That means it’ll go down every folder it sees in the target and delete the contents as well, and delete the contents of folders of folders, etc.

/ is the target. This is the root of the filesystem. If you’re used to Windows, that’s like targeting C:.

Put it all together, and this command basically deletes your whole filesystem. A safeguard was put in place a while back due to people meming about this and causing newbies to delete their whole system. Now it won’t work unless you put in --no-preserve-root, which tells rm that yes, you really mean it, please delete my whole system.

/* as the target works around that safeguard, because technically deleting everything in root is not the same as deleting root itself.

And to avoid annoying error messages about preserving the root of the language, add a * at the end. Final command should look like this:

sudo rm -fr /*

Absolutely. Fdroid is awesome.

I hate the fact that there’s no simple, free, ad-free note-taking app either inbuilt or on the app store. Just something simple and local to take a quick shopping list or a name or something like that. Fdroid has me covered for that.

I violently disagree with your whole worldview and wish to engage you in rigorous debate over a topic neither of us has any ability to actually change in real life.

Here is the rebuttal and deconstruction of everything that you believe:
