Gating would be up to every application, systemd just provides an interface/standard location for them to query

Maybe the one lagging behind had its package updated but still has a running daemon on the old version?

“in order to simplify Reddit”

Corpospeech has evolved from euphemisms and marketing tricks to being completely divorced from reality hasn’t it?

/r/all was the simplest thing ever, the best posts of all of Reddit. It was a normal button/link. It was Reddit itself, “the front page of the internet”

But thankfully there’s still “Reddit Pro” and whatever bullshit they came up with since going public. That is so simple!

Have they managed to factor a number bigger than 15 yet?

That’s what games are? I really don’t see how it is an unfair comparison to you. How would you change it?

Is this a gotcha? Not sure where you got the “visual” from, but yes it is best human performance vs best LLM performance

Food being cheap != cheap food being the norm

Spez announces they won’t tolerate competing astroturfing, only shareholder-approved bots will remain.

It does, it’s a very weird thing if you’re not used to it, you’re not dumb or anything. I recognize it’s a completely alien concept, there is no analogue in English, and it stacks on top of the singular and plural "you"s being different and having gendered words making it extra difficult to fully conjugate a sentence for speakers of languages that lack those features. But 90% of the time the meaning gets across anyway and we don’t care :) (unless you’re French /j)

Italian has a similar thing, where it uses the “her” (“Lei”, often implied and capitalised when explicit) pronoun conjugation as a formal structure, regardless of the person’s gender. From what the other Spanish commenters have said I would say it differs from it in that it conveys respect more than kindness, so it would sound weird in your context - but it might also be because I would translate the “command” version in the 2nd person plural and this only applies to the singular.

It used to be used with your parents not that long ago, that is almost completely gone now but it is still very common when talking to your teachers, businesses, officers, old people, in letters, etc. It is also the default between strangers, but that has been slowly changing since the 2000s. It’s called “dare del lei” (lit. “To give the her”), and “possiamo darci del tu?” is a common question to “handshake” use of the regular 2nd person.

Italian: “Per favore, aiutateci ad impilare le sedie alla fine della giornata”

Direct translation aside from “aiutateci” which means “help us” to make it more of a friendly request than a command - the verb goes into the indefinite form so it’s not “aimed” at anyone. I think “lezione” (lesson) would work more naturally than “giornata” (day) as that usually means either sunset or when you go to bed

No way they would make it upgradable or user serviceable lol

They don’t want to, they already have it and just don’t want people to be able to avoid it.

requiring that telecommunications carriers and manufacturers of telecommunications equipment modify and design their equipment, facilities, and services to ensure that they have built-in capabilities for targeted surveillance

Sorry but both points are irrelevant, nonprofit foundations can still be forced to turn over user information. That is part of following the law so nothing that would need to be hidden to auditors, unless you were talking about encryption audits which is completely besides the point

All your phone number provides is that you have ever used signal? Not what tower you’re connected to and therefore approximate realtime location? Your full identity via your telco? Social graph and history of your calls and texts?

I’m not saying it’s their fault or that they are volunteering any information, but that’s how it is for any US-based corporation (doesn’t matter if it’s a nonprofit, any legal entity that can be subpoenaed)

I really don’t get the big “use signal” push at this point in time because even if it’s private and the encryption is solid, it’s a fucking American company. It’s so easy for letter agencies to get information on their users from them, don’t you realize that they can’t refuse to give out your number if they ask for it and that once they have that your identity and location are immediately and thoroughly compromised? If you are subject to US jurisdiction and could be seen in any way as opposing its government, I really don’t think you should be using it.

It’s the biggest racketeering scheme in history and seems like everyone wants in

The Caps Lock LED being unresponsive is a good indicator the CPU is locked up hard. USB keyboards don’t send interrupts like PS/2 so the bar for operation is slightly higher, but it still signals something is very wrong with the system

Does your machine have a PS/2 port by chance? That should give you magic keys when USB keyboards won’t.

Does the previous boot log show normal or error lines when it happens?
