@Amelia558rs Have done. Likely would again, assuming I were capable of doing so, which ofc isn't guaranteed.

Be honest.

@igor_os777 "Why 8 levels?" Same reason as Gates's famous quote about memory. They thought it was enough to be future proof at the time & were mistaken. Then shit happened.

ISO 9660 (1988) CD-ROM filesystem only allowed eight nested directory levels. Why? Who knows. Need deeper hierarchy? Tough luck. Later extensions (Rock Ridge, Joliet) relaxed rules, but burning CDs or mounting old ISO images occasionally resurrects archaic directory-depth demons. ISO9660: a filesystem fossilized in amber—painfully limited, eternally annoying.

@kmcnam1 Same is true with Laser printers, but they don't fleece you near as much per print on the toner carts.

@kmcnam1 They put "starter cartridges" in new printers, with a reduced ink content. They then sell you properly filled ones (at inflated prices). You get similarly screwed either way. If you print enough for it to matter, go laser. Ideally at least "workgroup" spec. Inkjets == scam.

@tuomosa Detested SystemD from day one, generally avoid it where possible, btrfs I've been less bothered about, snapshots matter & LVM is also a PITA & from similar sources. Lennart Poettering is a C You Next Tuesday.

Not just a grumpy unix greybeard here. I'm against #systemd (and similar mega-components like btrfs) because they destroy Unix composability: small, replaceable tools that lone hackers/small teams can actually fix, extend, or rewrite. Huge multi-million loc systems become anti-foss: too complex for individuals, owned & directed by whoever has the money & manpower. Capitalism fine, but anti-hacker centralization is not. #RUNBSD

@leighkeystone Why would I vote for Tories (MK1 or 2)? They've already proved they won't fix shit even if they theoretically could. Liars the lot of them. If Restore can't win I'm staying home come the next GE, because nobody else will make a material difference.

Restore is a man tweeting from his attic room—they’re not going to save us. You have to be real here. Reform is the only possible route, a starting point. We really are in trouble—you know it, I know it. Don't be a fantasist. We are fighting a leftist coalition of evil.

@Tush27J Spending on the NHS has increased rather more than what that bus said since. So no Brexit bullshit detected, only remoaner bullshit.

As Caroline Lucas did such an excellent job disposing of Tory Helen Whately and Reform UK's James Orr - a reminder of the bullshit that was Brexit. #Brexit #bbcqt

@AGarblek Still stuck with the synthetic vitamins they put in.

Make your own. Organic flour (avoids glyphosate) water, butter, salt, sugar, yeast.

@We_OwnIt @juliewassmer You rally think the treasury would find the money to fix that? I have a bridge to sell you. Go look at the state of the roads, or anything else that government looks after.

If the water companies can't survive without dumping sewage in our rivers and seas, LET THEM GO BANKRUPT. Then nationalise them for nothing. Thank you, Boycott Water Bills and @juliewassmer for inviting us.

@ArtistCyclist I don't use a camera at all on mine. I've noticed they attract incidents, which I rarely if ever encounter. It could theoretically be tied to the mentality of those who choose to fit one. I couldn't possibly comment.

I use two Cycliq Fly12 Sport cameras on my bike. They are expensive but the 2.7k recording and image stabilisation provides plenty of detail to determine the VRM of offending vehicles. The cameras are mounted forward and rearward facing, centrally on my bike.

@MahyarTousi @profnfenton @X This is the beauty of having an account nobody else wants. There are advantages to being an arsehole. I think mine's safe.

Norman Fenton's X account @ProfNFenton has been hacked and X have now told him that he is "no longer the owner of the account" and they cannot help further. This is insane. Please get @X to help him.

@TheFIREorg @sarahemclaugh They should all close up shop in the UK then pull a 4chan. Fuck OffCommies.

The UK isn’t just regulating the internet. Now, regulators want oversight of streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu for “harmful” content. When governments police what counts as “offensive,” companies may think twice about what shows they stream. 🎥: @sarahemclaugh

@kmcnam1 Be interesting to see what LMDE asks....

@atensnut About 9

ONE (1).

@RobNoLastName People care more about their marginal rate than the official bracket. They're both correct & rational to do so.

Not having a pop at Henry - he's a follower and I like him - but this highlights a structural problem with the system: people don't understand it, hence they don't understand the consequences

@MyTeslaMoonship A person can also legitimately dislike EVS.

Wasn’t sure if everyone knew this but: -a person can like EVs and gas cars. -a person can like EVs and not care if others get one or not. -a person can like EVs and not care about the environment. -a person can like Tesla and other EV brands. -a person can question something and still like it. -a person can cheer for something and know it has flaws. -a person can like people who like different things. 💕

@JulianFried Every single one marketed as a "security" fastener, plus most fasteners made of plastic.

Name a fastener more loved by engineers and more hated by service techs

@cqcqcqdx Apologies for the spelling mistake in EXCELLENT, I didn't proof read, much like MicroSlop didn't in most if not all of those, the difference being I don't charge for my posts, or foist ads or tracking on people as part of the deal.

@cqcqcqdx You have 95 (at least OSR2) and 98 reversed, & omitted 2000 (perhaps you didn't want to have to write ECELLENT?).

Your mileage may vary..

@cqcqcqdx Nope, it's much harder than that with the cramped quarters, mud, etc. That's demonstrating a splice in ideal conditions. COMPLETELY different.
