I guess you missed the part where he quoted the exact part of your comment that he was replying to. Or do you just want to ignore that part so you don’t have to defend it?

People think that it can’t be cited because of its unreliability but in reality it’s simply because it’s a third hand source; i.e. a resource.
Wikipedia is built near-purely on second hand sources, which is how all encyclopedias are intended to be constructed. As long as one ensures the validity of the second hand source used, encyclopedias are great resources.

The processor’s interpretation isn’t flawed and in no way does Mastercard limit their rule to what is illegal.
The rule is so open ended and vague that it’s entirely on Mastercard (and Visa) that this shit happened.

But pressing charges is different, it’s just an agreement to cooperate with the investigation.
Small pedantic correction, but you can’t preface every command with sudo; only executables can be invoked with sudo as it can’t elevate your current shell. Naturally, the way to execute non-executables such as builtin routines as root is to just spawn into a root shell with sudo su.

You might have some luck with a wm that can apply shaders.
Something like hyprland, wayfire, or compost could do the trick; and you’d be looking for a very diffuse (glsl) bloom shader with an exaggerated horizontal component or an additional scanline shader.
That’s obviously just reskinned domain/os. You thought you could fool us, but you haven’t got one over on me!
NiHaDuncan@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Trump's 'buy' tip on social media before his tariffs pause made money for investors who listened2·5 months agoMartha Stewart wasn’t actually convicted for insider trading, the judge threw that charge (securities fraud) out saying that no competent juror could find her guilty of it.
I can’t remember if the true basis for dismissing the charge was lack of evidence or a judicial determination, but if it was the latter that’s pretty damning (that investigators didn’t have a case); as a determination of innocence presumes all evidence is factual, to a reasonable extent, and a determination of no crime having taken place does the same in concluding that the evidence describes no crime relating to the dismissed charge having taken place. A kind of legal non-sequitor.

NiHaDuncan@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Biden says federal government to cover 100% of costs for initial LA fire recovery5·8 months agoMany modern buildings are designed to withstand earthquakes of some magnitude; this is what reasonable prevention means.
You can’t prevent any natural force unless your uncle knows god (and is on good terms with them). What was stated was the ‘reasonable prevention of damage’. insurance companies that sell earthquake insurance won’t insure buildings that are not up to code, which in turn is based on locally expected disasters, their expected commonality, their expected severity, and what is considered to be reasonable measures for the prevention of damage (or an excess of e.g. mitigation).
For example, where I live you can’t get hail insurance unless you have impact resistant shingles. I had and have exactly that so I got hail insurance; after a particularly bad hail storm (and 8 previous years of wear) I filed a claim and had my entire roof redone at my insurer’s expense. I was kind of surprised how straight forward the process was and the stark absence of bullshittery, but I may have just gotten lucky. The area I’m in gets a lot of hail so it may also be in the insurer’s best interesting not to get a name for denying for hail damage.
NiHaDuncan@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Biden says federal government to cover 100% of costs for initial LA fire recovery19·8 months agoI’m an atheist that understands that an act of god refers to any destructive natural event where the damage to property couldn’t have been reasonably prevented. And insurance companies detail exactly what is and isn’t covered per policy; it’s just that they can get away with denying coverage due to lack of oversight/policing of them.
Not a lawyer but, premeditation isn’t what you think it is; one can premeditate an action in seconds, the concept really just conveys that the individual had time to think of the consequences.
But yeah, a sticker like this would certainly hurt the case of any defendant. It wouldn’t likely get them any modifiers (though it would help), but it could definitely affect a judge’s decision on how much time they should serve.

Loose ends are one’s end.
GraphQL saved my ass on a term project that required extensive polling of the GitHub API. Turned a calculated 47 days of calls just under the rate limit into just 12 hours.
Homographs are wild. I wish I could be around in a thousand years when scholars are arguing over interpretations of every day English sentences; especially idioms.
Or just set a reminder.
I used to just set alarms but then there’d be a 50% chance I wouldn’t remember what it was set for.
