Don’t you have some kid’s birthday party to be at, you fucking clown?

The frequency with which people have trouble with newspaper-headline grammar makes me feel old…

Front trunk. It’s aggravating slang, but it’s been in use for decades, well before Tesla.

They’re just banking on all the parents being transphobic enough that nobody can get help from family friends

Fair enough. I was speaking towards the perspective of op. We were encouraged, not required, so there were definitely some folks who would do that.

That sounds like poor IT policies to me. In previous office jobs I’ve had, our computers were configured with our working hours and we wouldn’t shut them down at the end of the day, so that any updates could happen off the clock and minimize that sort of disruption.

I was gonna make a dark joke about a silver lining, but I don’t think losing Starlink would be worth losing GPS.

This is why we need a corporate death penalty.

There’s also WSL though your mileage may vary.

There are already plenty of companies that sell managed data removal like this, Mozilla claims to be doing it better and perhaps they are incrementally more trustworthy than the smaller no name ones

Don’t get me wrong, it’s an important advancement in semiconductor technology if the claims they’re making hold up. But it’s grown on silicon wafers. “Post-silicon chips” feels somewhat misleading here

Yes, enforced pseudonymity would work much better. You can have up to three, or some number, of identities, they’re not linked to your info but they are all linked to each other.

I appreciate your optimism.
You can lead a horse to text, but you can’t make him read

this is so obviously a troll account that it’s painful to see no one else questioning it

The interoperability of Fediverse platforms is so cool!!! Don’t even have to leave the site you’re on to contact someone in a completely different style of site. I love to see it.

I would ask whether you realize you’re on a linux community, but you referred to a man page as a wiki article so you are clearly lost.

The first paragraph past the link is a summary of the function of the program.

fstrim is used on a mounted filesystem to discard (or “trim”) blocks which are not in use by the filesystem. This is useful for solid-state drives (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage.

“Boss, this is starting to get weird” gives me energy
