  • The hammer and sickle symbolized the biggest groups of proletarians, manual laborers and farmers. What would today's symbol be?

    Jump

  • It didn't symbolise that. It symbolises the unity between the industrial proletariat and the peasantry. It's not about different proletarian occupations; it's about a class alliance between two working classes.

    The peasantry doesn't exist anymore in most parts of the world, but imo most people understand the hammer and sickle to symbolise communism anyway so it still works.

  • [QUESTION] nonstick cookware?

    Jump

  • I have found that cast iron is quite easy to get nonstick. It isn't as good as teflon but it does get functionally close, to the point where I don't have any kind of sticking trouble with my cast iron. Give it one oven season when you first get it then just cook with it like normal. Don't cook food particularly sensitive to sticking until you've cooked with it a few times, a month of regular usage should be more than enough. If you're worried about sticking, use extra oil, has never done me wrong.

  • Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to market plant-based products in UK

    Jump

  • I think vegans and others who drink plant milk are now used to understanding what is meant by terms like "oat drink", "soya drink", etc due to these kinds of laws.

  • [GB] The Patisserie Tales artisan keycaps

    Jump

  • Having bought some novelty/artisan keycaps, I'd say my main problem is that they don't match my other keycaps. They'll be too tall, too short, the plane is at a slight angle compared to the other keycaps, etc. It's a shame; if only they came in the exact same dimensions as my other keycaps they would look so cool. But to me they feel a little funny to type on when one of my keys is noticeably a different height/angle/etc to my other keys.

  • Anyone have a traditional dish that they love to eat?

    Jump

  • No. You're the only one who's ever liked a traditional dish.

  • Daemon that kills processes using too much CPU

    Jump

  • if you cannot even htop, then I doubt a daemon could do something.

    The point is that a daemon can catch it before it reaches that point by killing processes that are using too much resources, before all the system resources are used up.

  • Daemon that kills processes using too much CPU

    Jump

  • Thanks. I've had a couple of comments suggesting that it might be a memory leak instead of CPU usage anyway so I've installed earlyoom and we'll see if that can diagnose the problem, if not I'll look into CPU solutions.

  • Daemon that kills processes using too much CPU

    Jump

  • Open a console with top/htop and check if it will be visible when the system halts.

    That would require me to have a second machine up all the time sshed in with htop open, no? Sometimes this happens on the server while I'm asleep and I don't really want a second machine running 24/7.

  • Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs?

    Jump

  • They get trained. Think about humans for example. There's lots of stuff we don't think twice about doing that aren't necessarily things we would naturally do; they're taught to us socially and we get used to them as part of life. Horses were domesticated, firstly selectively bred to be friendlier to humans and faster, but secondly they still get trained to form a bond with humans and to do what humans want them to do. They get used to being ridden.

  • LFS drops support for System V, citing workload problems and upstream dependencies on systemd

    Jump

  • Wow, that surprises me. I did LFS with Sys-V (didn't continue to use it after I set up X11 as I couldn't be bothered with package maintenance/mostly did it as an exercise rather than for the sake of the finished system) and found it a fun project.

    I wonder how many LFS users use GNOME or something that depends on systemd...

  • Early access

    Jump

  • It might not be autism, it might be just lacking context as to what they mean. The kid is likely very young so they might not know what alphabetical order means. It's a reasonable guess given the lack of explanation in the worksheet.

  • Would you be willing to finish a project or creation instantly, in exchange for losing any experience or materials you'd otherwise have doing it the long way?

    Jump

  • I don't think the book and program examples are equivalent. You can edit a manuscript easily but it'd be a big headache to edit a binary program either through a hex editor or decompiling it and figuring out what it all does. I think an equivalent would be receiving the finished source code, as though someone else coded it for you.

    Anyway, if it's a personal project I want to do for the sake of it, then no, I like the process and the amount of control. If it's something I'm only doing because I want the end product then maybe, but would have to decide on a case by case basis.

  • Any interesting non violent protest ideas?

    Jump

  • I don't think any of those types of guns count as "non-violent". None of the movements that have been the most effective have been strictly non-violent. You don't have to be killing people at every action you do, but all the most effective movements have been willing to strategically use violence whenever the situation calls for it. Every strictly non-violent movement I've seen has simply been shooting themselves in the foot. When you're shot at, shoot back, or you're a coward obsessed with losing.

  • DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI

    Jump

  • On duckduckgo.com it's unfortunately enabled by default though. You have to go out of your way to set your search browser to noai.duckduckgo.com if you want default AI disabled (which you'll want on e.g. private browsing windows/any browser that autodeletes cookies when you close it). It's extra hassle because most privacy web browsers use DDG by default, not the noai subdomain.

  • Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ?

    Jump

  • Wtf is wrong with being a former heroin addict? I know plenty of drug users and former drug users who aren't fascist shitstains and are actually pleasant people. Also like, you're going after him for being a former addict? God forbid someone be in a bad place in life and luckily manage to recover from it... Addiction, a health condition, just morally scars you for life then? Would you say that about someone who recovered from cancer? Fuck off.

  • Can you use Linux today without the terminal?

    Jump

  • The terminal lets you delete the system with the same checks as GUIs, i.e. you'd be prompted for a privilege escalation password... If you delete random user files in the terminal then you can do that in a graphical file browser too. Just don't run random commands without knowing what they do.

  • Can you use Linux today without the terminal?

    Jump

  • I really do think that's their problem, and software shouldn't cater to people who are afraid of checks notes typing. There can be real accessibility reasons why some users may require graphical tools due to various disabilities, but I don't think it's reasonable to feed into irrational fears of terminals when they can just copy paste in commands. It's not programming, it's very simple to understand the syntax of any command the average user might have to use (ie they're not doing scripting or anything like that).
