Piper is less than 2MB, and allows reconfiguring Logitech mouse buttons. It's available in Debian and Ubuntu package managers.

I had to use Piper to get exotic features like having mouse 6, 7, 8 buttons function as mouse 6, 7, 8, rather than the default of alt-tab and ctrl-v.

They should be more neutral in a non-opinion piece. They quote a lot more people saying pro-genocide things than they quote people saying anti-genocide things. They quoted pro-genocide politicians and pro-genocide BBC staff. They did not give the musicians any opportunity to respond to the article.

Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza has inflamed tensions around the world, triggering pro-Palestinian protests in many capitals and on college campuses. Israel and some supporters have described the protests as antisemitic, while critics say Israel uses such descriptions to silence opponents

Let's consider the two positions mentioned in this paragraph:

  1. Israel should stop committing genocide

  2. Israel should continue committing genocide, and position 1 is antisemitic

The first position is described as "pro-Palestinian", as if these protesters support the Palestinian military (Hamas) and want them to win. This is incorrect. These people mostly just want the genocide to end.

The second position is a shitty opinion, but also contains an overt falsehood. It's an objective fact that it's false, and that fact should be reported in the story, but it isn't.

Last company where I faced external suppliers, I had to take a training where they said we couldn't accept any item worth more than like $20, except food or alcohol during a presentation. But we could accept such items on behalf of the company, and they would be raffled off to a random employee. One time a guy in purchasing got a giant brass horse head from a Chinese supplier. I guess nobody signed up for the raffle, so it became a permanent fixture in the cafeteria.

What a shitty article. It's so heavily biased in favor of genocide.

Do you have any evidence of major AI generated memes and comments? Sometimes I see an obvious AI image (and down vote it), and some communities are made for the purpose of AI so I blocked them. But aside from that, have you found much generative AI slop?

And if so, how would you fix that in code? Some sort of captcha? I think the volume is low enough that it wouldn't help.

I think people are more pissed off and divided than they have been in a very long time. It's hard to say how close we are to a civil war, though. There's been a lot of propaganda for a long time saying "violence is not the answer" (even though sometimes it is), and "violence has no place in our system of government" (even though the government abuses its own monopoly on violence to imprison and kill innocent, peaceful people).

It feels like the media in the US is less reliable than it's ever been in my lifetime, and would probably suppress as much as possible any information that would support open rebellion.

When you switch to an admin account on Windows, there are still files owned by "TrustedInstaller" that you can't touch, and processes owned by "System" that you can't terminate.

Linux doesn't have that. When you switch to root, you can kill any process. You can modify or delete any file.

a Tennessee Highway Patrol checkpoint

These checkpoints are illegal in all of the US. Cops can't stop a driver without a reason. I know that's not much consolation to someone who is arrested during a stop for no reason.

She drove because her husband, Hilario Martínez García, 46, is undocumented and cannot obtain a license in Tennessee

During a traffic stop, cops can ask the driver for a driver's license. There is no reason to ask the passengers for ID, and if the passengers are asked, they don't have to give ID. They may have to give their name in some jurisdictions, but cops usually need a reason for asking for the name, and being a passenger at a road checkpoint isn't a reason.

It seems clear to me that these cops are operating outside the law, and probably have been since before this immigration stuff.

The cell membrane is the wall of the cell. I know it's less catchy, but human cells don't have a cell wall.

X11 has effectively already been deprecated for years, seeing little to no development on it. No one should be surprised.

X11 is complete.

Wayland is incomplete, and is missing essential features like accessibility and automation (ydotool will never have half the features xdotool has).

This doesn't change the fact that 47 is the current problem, and is the one currently talking about nuclear war. No matter how bad Biden would have been on this issue, he is currently irrelevant.
