The subhead is

The ads promoted extremist hate speech

It wasn't clear to me from the title if "referencing Nazi war crimes" was a good or bad thing (as in, "don't let history repeat itself" seems a good message, but that's apparently not the perspective the ad was pushing...).

I think mplayer has an ASCII output mode (VLC, too?), and I believe youtube-dl can output to stdout.

The rest is, as they say, left as an exercise to the reader.

Sounds like he was a mantis and was posting while copulating.

Haha yeah that was the counter example I was thinking of. I agree completely


you could make a Gentoo from source beginner distro, and I think you could make it reasonably "idiot proof," but it would still be a bad user experience most likely (too much time spent compiling).

If your distro can't be forked into a "beginner distro" then it's fundamentally flawed IMHO.

To be clear, I've used Arch as my daily drivers for a while, and while it's not the best fit for my needs (I use Debian mostly), there's nothing that I experienced that was incompatible with a "beginner" distro.

No love for us Dvorak users :(

Oh absolutely; the folks who sat at home, are outraged that a fascist is in power, and are too dumb to understand how voting works to realize that they enabled it


they are infuriating.

It's kinda a weird take? Like if I'm in a discussion about some scary things AfD are doing and a left-of-center German joins the conversation, I'd like to think I'd have the ability to...you know...hear what they have to say about things.

There are a bunch of Americans who asked for this; there are a bunch who stood by and did nothing to stop it; and there are a bunch who tried to stop it, did not, and are devastated.

I guess at the end of the day it's just a meme.

You can also drop cache for debugging by running something like echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop-caches

But remember that the kernel knows best


this RAM will automatically be freed up when needed and you should never run this except for debugging (or maybe benchmarking).

I don't speak French but I may integrate this into my daily vocabulary.

As someone from San Francisco, I'd suggest at least looking into it as an option. (I'm a straight white guy though so maybe not the best source here...). In particular https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_District,_San_Francisco

For some color on the type of neighborhood it is, here's a recent incident. Unfortunately it involved some violence, but the good guys won (I don't think it should be triggering...): https://sfstandard.com/2024/07/11/nudists-save-tourist-attack-castro/

Of course, San Francisco being in the US, I wouldn't blame you for trying to find somewhere else. But California (and SF in particular) is very different than Trump country.

We breathed a huge sigh of relief when our kid got vaccinated (first dose at ~1yr old). I just can't fathom voluntarily not doing that.
