People need to stop buying the thinnest thing

Yeah, I think one of the problems is that thin is a familiar and commonly reported spec for a display. If MTTF were reported


and it should be!


then I think the problem would sort itself out.

Maybe not a warrant, and IANAL, but government agencies aren't necessarily at liberty to share information amongst themselves. For instance, IRS needs a court order to share returns with law enforcement (IRC Section 6103(i)(1)).

But yeah...this seems like maybe not a super great solution...

Right, I just meant that you can't sudo cat file > /dev/sda but you can sudo dd ..., because IO redirection isn't elevated to root with sudo. I'm not saying anything too profound :)

to identify I'm a citizen.

It's kinda worse than that


it's used to authenticate yourself as a citizen.

My SSN should at most be an ID, no different from a name. I can identify myself as Darth Vader or 4200-69-1337, but that shouldn't matter, because I should never be able to authenticate myself as either of those.

But the endian switches for the teens


twenty three is "tens place ones place," but thirteen is "ones place tens place."

Compiling a kernel yourself isn't a big deal these days, especially with DKMS. Generally the type of people I've encountered who care about which kernel version they're usiyare the type of people who are capable of compiling it themselves...

One caveat is that you will need write access to the drive, which probably means you need to run as root


can't run that with sudo as-is, unlike dd.

Also a super useful tool for measuring real world bandwidth, both on physical media and over the network ( dd status=progress ... | nc ...).

My toddler does that.

Elon has stated his distaste for Apple, and seems to be taking it out on its users. Who are notoriously, well...dedicated. Oh, and there are viable alternatives to Xitter, both federated and not.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm sure I'm just too stupid to see how this is a Big Brain move here...

An ARM laptop that can run mainline Linux out of the box and performs at an M1 level or better would be phenomenal. Sign me up.

My favorite hypercorrection (a hyperforeignism, if you like) is "habañero," and really stressing the "ñ" when you say it.

Except it's just "habanero," plain ol' "n." The confusion is presumably due to "jalapeño" having an accent.
