  • What happens if you pluck a hair thats rooted exactly in the center of and under a scab?

    Jump

  • The hair follicle may be the root cause of the scab in the first place. Acne, as a result of an infected follicle, may appear to heal with a scab but the infected material may still be in-situ.

    As you know, the hair itself is dead past the growing root.

    So plucking the dead hair will do nothing, unless you are lucky enough to take all the infected material with it.

  • TLDR News EU — Are We Sleepwalking Towards a Federal EU?

  • Have you not read or heard the original idea behind the EEC (as it was)?

  • Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?

    Jump

  • Quite a few people have come to their senses. It's taken thirty years but .. hey .. Rome not built in a day.

  • Where would you draw the line?

    Jump

  • That's really well put.

    I'd add, if I may, a small piece of wisdom from Muhammad Ali: "A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life."

    I take that as advice to have a willingness to re-evaluate one's views on a daily basis.

  • Bcachefs Changes End Up Being Merged Into Linux 6.16, For 6.17: "We'll Be Parting Ways"

    Jump

  • The world sadly needs some of the stuff only antisocial nutters can provide. If the said nutter's gift to the world is good enough, the drama and discord that the nutter bequeaths will be forgotten and they will be given a free pass.

    Hence the advice: never meet your heroes.

  • We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

  • What things are and what the masses choose to call them, and use them for, are usually two different things.

    Asking the masses to understand a complex subject for themselves, and ascribe to it appropriate nomenclature, when all they actually want is something that echoes what they already think with more eloquence is folly.

    Reference: social media - a method to collect personal data from the masses to use against them, which they willingly and greedily supply, without recompense.

  • No criminal charges over British woman shot in US during a holiday

  • I should withdraw my original comment. I spent a while re-researching the original intent, the Heller case and some of the subsequent cases to its current interpretation.

    I believe it was originally intended to prevent federal overreach. Except that when there was a belief by some people that that had happened and there was an invasion of the capital. That confused me. I don't know what the rights and wrongs were - apparently the alleged overreach wasn't adjudged to be severe by anyone.

  • I'm putting my tin foil hat on and want to join the world of Linux, however I make music in Ableton. Do I just need to dual boot or does anyone have a better solution?

    Jump

  • I'd suggest no-one ever dual-boot Windows with anything. There are to many mishaps when Windows takes it into their head to fuck the bootloader.

    Put the OS into a VM. If you only use Windows for one app put Windows into the VM. Otherwise put Linux into the VM until you find you're mostly using Linux.

    Unless you have an old PC laying around ..

  • If government hackers can infiltrate big companies, why not hack normal people?

    Jump

  • Because they don't need to. As Zuckerberg himself said: people will voluntarily give all kinds of private information to corporates without being asked or by the gentlest of requests.

  • You are born 250,000 years ago, one of the very first modern humans to roam the earth. What's on your to-do list?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure that you meant born because everyone is taking it too literally and it doesn't help make a decent question.

    Document everything I can think of for future people and put it in a place that someone will find out but is not that open to be degradation.

    I know how impossible this sounds.

  • Ubuntu disables Intel GPU security mitigations, promises 20% performance boost

  • Think of all that money that they could have saved by even looking for those security issues once reported.

    Fuck you Ubuntu people, typical crap corporate move. Is it even not opt-in?
