This is more “fix the symptom instead of the problem” though I do agree that we need better pedestrian infrastructure.

That’s fair, but easy to do: don’t have the cops issue tickets for driving slowly on days where there is inclimate weather.

Depends on how often the camera needs to be repaired/replaced and where the money goes for the tickets it writes.

Cops need to start ticketing:

• people changing lanes without indication
• people turning without indication
• people driving in the inside lane when they’re not passing
• people who take more than 2 seconds to react to a light change
• People following bumper-to-bumper forming left-turn trains through yellow/red lights
• People who take more than a few seconds to get back up to speed

And also:

• Pedestrians who stand on the edge of the curb at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross
• Pedestrians standing literally on the edge of the road at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross

Instead of wasting money on speed cameras and reducing speeds, we should be aggressively ticketing distracted drivers and pedestrians, and people who struggle to reach the limit in the first place.

Yes, but in this case they are punching up - just not high enough.

I’ll never understand that logic… No, your father is horribly underpaid and instead of joining forces with the unions to get better working conditions and wages, we’re gonna shit on them so we have no leg left to stand on.

Brilliant

I remember when we used to laugh and ignore people with these default-generated Reddit usernames… What a stupid community they’ve become. If you can’t take the few seconds to create a username, you’re not there for anything more than spamming bullshit.

I don’t think there was any distraction. We had two shit choices and NDP. And since this country fails to elect NDP time after time, it was a given that we were pretty fucked. The main difference during this election between the parties that I saw were:

1. The Liberal platform didn’t contradict itself every point or two

2. The Liberal platform focused a lot more on domestic tourism, accessibility, and making it easier to transport our own goods across provincial borders.

I don’t see how bill C-5 fits into any of the platform they put forward.

I think it’s for show. “Look, we tried. The problem isn’t Canada.”

Why just Christian prayers? Why not prayer in general?

Use a generic “what do you think about prayer in public schools?” survey, and then where states vote YES create campaigns to make satanic and Muslim prayer programs at schools in the states that were all for prayer lol

Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird, too. Going as basic as explaining how to use ls and cat and how to run an executable, but not mentioning how to make an executable actually be executable.

I thought maybe it was just something wacky with my Termux install that made me have to chmod it all.

I also found it weird how the game didn’t manage HP and inventory for you. There must have been better ways for it to show you how to use session variables…

If that was true, then we wouldn’t see people bitching about the cold while I’m out in a t-shirt and jeans in 50°F weather. Seems fucking stupid to base a measurement system on something so subjective.

I found I had to chmod u+x the binaries, but they worked fine. You need to make sure you call them as ./filename (assuming you are in the same directory as the file)

IE:

chmod u+x treasure

./treasure

Forked it, renamed it, and changed nothing but the license on it.

What’s stopping it from becoming the defacto version putting the original into the point where it’s no longer worth maintaining, then Microsoft pulls it and sells it as a subscription service?

They fact they based it on Fedora in the first place seemed like a stupid choice, but I’ve been biased against Fedora for a long time lol.

IMO they should have based it off Arch or Ubuntu to align with the Steamdeck or SteamOS

I don’t have anything too fancy. I use [theFuck(https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck) to handle typos, and I have some variables set to common directories that I use.

For me it’s been the availability of packages, and how up-to-date things are. The AUR is a gamechanger.

Getting my first computer up wasn’t too bad - really no more time to configure it than anything else, and you can just toss your packages to a a text file and your dotfikes to GitHub. Didn’t take long at all to get my second computer set up

Makes sense. I went from Suse to Mepis, stuck with it for a bit after they transitioned to Ubuntu before just going full Ubuntu, but I was getting frustrated by how long it took for their repos to catch up. I’ve been on Arch for a year or two now and it’s been fantastic.
