I always struggled with that word too, but remembering it like that will probably fix that issue for me. I don’t really have many opportunities to use the word “medieval” though.

I absolutely love him as Gay Perry! Outstanding movie.

I have not seen that one yet, perhaps I’ll give it a look!

I actually didn’t even remember him in that until now, I suppose he was alright, but I agree, the role wasn’t exactly exercise in acting.

Such a strange little, uhm, love(?) story!

Jared Leto (I don’t know why, I just really don’t like him), but there are no roles of his that I like. In fact, he has ruined a few movies for me. I was actually really excited about Tron: Ares until the casting was revealed.

Exactly. The algorithm is literally designed to stop people from thinking about what they actually care about. Of course that has caused deterioration of every aspect of human society to some degree.

The algorithm(s) and “For You” pages I think have done more damage to my ideal internet than anything else ever has.

I have a feeling that someday in the future we’ll also see that the algorithm was also responsible for damage to the human mind and society as well.

Wow, I haven’t seen that in like two decades!

As long as we keep trying!

I think about that one often. It’s too easy to dismiss people because their attitudes don’t line up with our personal ideals, but even those people have some internal struggle going on. We all do. Not that it ever justifies terrible behavior, but it does warrant consideration.

If more people on this planet would make these considerations we would all be so much better for it.

I’d like to see more posts like this honestly, I know reading these things aren’t for everyone, but having the actual document and (hopefully) the discussion of it is exactly how I’d like to be getting my news and information these days. I’m tired of our filtered world.

Some serious judicial indictment of the federal government to be found in there regarding the disregard of the constitution.

“The government is asserting a right to stash away residents of this country in foreign prisons without the semblance of due process that is the foundation of our constitutional order."

Yeah.

Yup, I have to repeat Hanlon’s Razor daily, it’s sort of become a mantra.

Could this whole situation really be as simple as the largest scale “pump-and-dump” ever?

It is absolutely baffling that people don’t realize that people are the product. I’ve had some folks tell me that they understand and “don’t care” because the service is “free” or whatever, but then they get angry and freaked out when the platform knows exactly what they’re thinking, or at least seems to know.

There’s definitely a deficit in understanding and education on what corporate social media really does.

I hope every subsequent rally has even more people!

I had forgotten about doing that myself. I did that on a couple servers once the distros had full 64 bit builds. Does that technically count as an architecture swap in-place as well?

“Medium: Same as easy but go from the derivative to the base.”

I can’t quite recall, but I think I did exactly that with Ubuntu -> Debian once upon a time. I think Ubuntu was only a year or so old though, so there wasn’t a huge amount of divergence back then. As a bonus anecdote I also attempted a semi-successful build of Gentoo on a PPC Mac around the same time (nothing before or after that has compared in its level of nightmare).

I wonder if anyone (not in the government) was able to get a copy of this database before it vanished? In the same vein, I wonder if there are other databases that need to be copied before they’re gone?
