  • What do you think got way too much hate than it should've?

    Jump

  • It's a "collectible" piece of plastic that looks like a fat chibi, square headed version of some tired character from pop culture. The only people that own them are psychic vampires.

  • Marco Rubio says he is against Gaza ceasefire

    Jump

  • Everything on that list is typical neoliberal Democrat tinkering around the edges while the world burns.

    It's not that the individual ideas are bad, it's that they have no vision of a better future for most people. Where is Medicare For All? Where is tuition free college? Where is anything that isn't just a bandaid for a specific paper cut when the whole goddam country is being devoured by fascists and corporations?

    That's the meat I'm talking about - something that millions of people on the left could vote for in self interest. What we got was meat for checks notes non-Medicare diabetics.

  • Marco Rubio says he is against Gaza ceasefire

  • Israel is currently genociding Palestinians under a Democratic president, they didn't need Trump's approval for anything. The bulldozers are already running, the people are already having their lives destroyed.

    Again, I voted Harris for harm reduction, so I see your point about Harris possibly being better for Gaza in the long run, but it's not "kill my friends now" or "kill my friends later" it's "kill my friends now" or "kill my friends now and maybe, just maybe, stop sometime around the midterms when it's politically convenient and only if Harris doesn't need to keep getting the fascist vote". I don't blame Gaza voters for looking at that choice and holding out for what they really want, which is "stop killing my friends now".

  • Marco Rubio says he is against Gaza ceasefire

  • Those Palestinians were going to lose their land, families and lives either way. Biden has done nothing to stop Israel, neither would Harris. She made it abundantly clear that "protecting" Israel was more important than stopping genocide.

    Gaza didn't cost Harris the election. Maybe Michigan, but even that's a stretch. Democrats lost ground in literally every demographic other than 100k+ income because, again, they campaigned to the right and offered absolutely nothing to the left.

    If Harris told any other assumed Democratic group to fuck off this hard, nobody would be surprised they didn't vote for her. If she ran as pro-life to court Trumpers and her support from women collapsed we wouldn't be screaming about them getting in line, we'd be talking about Harris betraying those voters. This is no different, it just affects a far smaller voting bloc that people feel comfortable scapegoating.

  • Marco Rubio says he is against Gaza ceasefire

    Jump

  • Everyone pointing at people that didn't vote for Harris over Gaza like this is some gotcha moment are totally missing the point. If Gaza was your primary concern (like if you and your family are Palestinian perhaps) neither candidate was going to do anything for you at all. Harris paid a tiny bit of lip service to Gaza two days before the election after months of shutting down and ignoring everyone demanding ceasefire.

    I voted Harris purely out of harm reduction, but she offered nothing to anyone on the left. The DNC assumes everyone that is queer or bipoc or a woman owes them their vote and then used the platform to court non-existent center right voters.

    But nah, let's pretend that Harris, who took Biden's positions wholesale, would have done something different as if they weren't currently in power. Let's pretend they would have done something to restore abortion rights too, or tackle climate change or raise the minimum wage when they're so busy trying to get fascist votes and not piss off the coporate donor class.

    The Democratic party needs to be rebuilt from scratch or not rebuilt at all.

  • Update on Blu

    Jump

  • I got my account locked on BLU because I stopped seeding when my RAID went down. I was able to recover the data and get back up in about 24 hours but there was literally no recourse other than begging some random mod's reddit account.

    Always sad to see a tracker go down, but this place was a shit show.

  • Unreliable samba transfers - common issue?

    Jump

  • The only thing Samba is really great for is interop with Windows. If that's not an issue, Dolphin can browse SFTP directly by adding it as a network share (you may need to setup a password-less key pair to avoid having to login). SSHFS is a similar option and works even if the client is totally naive (it just looks like any other mounted FS).

  • Ubuntu 25.04 "Plucky Puffin" Development Opens - Defaulting To -O3 Optimizations

    Jump

  • Right. GCC -f optimizations are basically like "how hard are we going to try to be clever" and are, I believe, orthogonal to the actual instructions used. Machine dependent args start with -m, like -march or -mavx etc.

  • Factorio Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

    Jump

  • I have a few hundred, but 5500? Sheeeit. The game is definitely evergreen though.

  • Factorio Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in Fluids

    Jump

  • Can't wait for the expansion, 10/21. I've been putting off a new play through for it, and Wube always puts in so much polish (as the FFFs show).

  • Languages

    Jump

  • So you're right that this is a bit arbitrary because the line between the standard lib and the language is blurry, but someone writing Rust is going to expect Vec to work, it doesn't even require an extra "use" to get it.

    Perhaps a better core example would be operator overloading (or really any place using traits). When looking at "a + b" in Rust you have to be aware that, depending on the types involved, that could mean anything.

    Anyway, I love Rust, it just doesn't have the 1:1 relationship with the assembly output that C basically still has.

  • It's official, Rust is an anti C/C++ elitist slur

    Jump

  • Huh weird, these pull requests just magically accepted themselves

  • Languages

    Jump

  • Rust can create native binaries but I wouldn't call it close to the metal like C. It's certainly possible to bootstrap from assembly to Rust but, unlike C, every operation doesn't have a direct analog to an assembly operation. For example Rust needs to be able to dynamically allocate memory for all of its syntax to be intact.

  • GOP senator tells Arab American witness at hate crimes hearing to 'hide your head in a bag'

    Jump

  • Yeah, but you see they were in danger from the Vietnam draft, doesn't take empathy to act in self interest.

  • what would be the best way to tell your supervisor to stop inquiring about your personal life and mobbing you into opening up?

    Jump

  • Just hold your ground and keep reading your book, eating alone etc. If someone enters personal territory, shut it down by being honest "I don't want to talk about that" and move on. Resist peer pressure and be who you are, it's the same as it was in school.

    Also, talk to your coworkers (I know it's hard) about whether they think it's appropriate. You have an impression they're on board with this level of "intimacy" but it's possible they are just going along to get along.

    If persisting doesn't work then it's probably time to find another job. Plenty of workplaces out there that just want you to do your job and no more.

    HR is definitely not on your side either, unless you can point to specific violations of policy. They exist specifically to cover their own ass, not to actually make your life better.

  • VirtualBox 7.1 Released with Qt 6 GUI, Wayland Support for Clipboard Sharing - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • For XP, the machine KVM presents as may be too new, but that isn't an issue with non-virtualized QEMU.

  • We Got You

    Jump

  • Also curious. Possibly just sex / masturbation getting out of hand with intense stimulants, or maybe meth induced paranoia makes putting something in your ass for safe keeping seem reasonable... Meth heads generally aren't hanging out in the safest conditions.

  • Peter Molyneux thinks generative AI is the future of games, all but guaranteeing that it won't be

    Jump

  • Perfect headline.

  • Waymo Robotaxis Are Giving 100,000 Rides a Week. It'll Soon Be More.

    Jump

  • Reason number one million capitalism sucks. We should be happy to turn over dangerous or menial jobs to machines but we can't do that because without jobs our society views us as worthless.
