see thats weird, i read that comment, not one mention of “naked kids” being there, just “kids” being there…

how do you even know the kids are allowed to be nude there?

i think this would probably explain the phrase “silly goose”

I imagine the whole point is to say that someone is “sillier than a goose” famously known for, not being silly at all. Arguing that you are so silly, that you look like a goose being silly.

i mean it depends on how you define common, common among the world populous? No, common among fabrication types? Yes.

there are only a few things that are common amongst the whole human population, and none of them are learned skills. (learned as in learned from the ground up, to be able to do that one specific thing I.E. socialization doesn’t count as it’s a fundamental aspect of humanity)

i think there is a fundamental reason why linux is a good operating system. It’s the same reason that vehicles from the 70s and 80s are so beloved, because they’re easy to repair. Hell you could probably rebuild one in your garage, sure you’d need some level of knowledge to do so. But it’s all out there, and very easy to access, and same for the parts.

I think linux is very similar in this regard, part of what makes it so good, is being so familiar with it. Windows doesn’t let you do this, because it doesn’t want you to. Linux does, because you’re supposed to, and i would argue that telling people linux is a “turn key” solution is rather irresponsible when inevitably, they’ll want to do something weird or have to fix a weird problem which will require them to go digging around somewhere.

I also don’t think the basic concepts of linux are all that complicated, two weeks and a vm to install arch and you’ve got most of the foundational concepts in your head already.

i see no problem with that. You can’t go learn to weld without putting in lots of effort and time learning.

It’s really just that simple.

because redhat smelly.

Also fedora is hella configured out of the box, which is nice for new users, and a good reason to just use it. But at that point i think you should just use something like debian while figuring out how to properly do the whole linux thing because it’s going to positively benefit you quite a bit.

since people are yelling about it.

It’s probably not blatantly bypassing security and privacy features, what it is PROBABLY doing is using the user to bypass them by simply manipulating them to do it.

Social engineering is way easier than whatever bullshit you would need to do to bypass sandboxing and dynamically recompile, or whatever people are claiming, and my guess would be that this is what they’re doing.

If the suit is claiming they are doing what i said, that’s probably legal, and not going anywhere, unless tiktok ban bill 2.0. If the suit is claiming what others are claiming, it’s still probably wrong and probably going to be tiktok ban bill 2.0.

Unfortunately these things aren’t all that exciting at the end of the day.

one of the most obvious ways is to simply not bypass them, and then do it from within the application itself. That way you can essentially man in the middle the rest of it, though this would require a rather specific set of events and a particularly nested design of an app.

if you actually look into what the insurance industries do for crash safety testing it’s actually kind of fucked up.

Because they basically started with full frontal impacts at n speed, that was met, so a decade later they were like “half frontal impacts are a thing now” and turns out most cars performed pretty bad on that, so they fixed that, and like a decade later again, they were fine, and then they were like “oh no, now quarter impact frontal is bad now” and then that’s what they’ve recently fixed.

So most of car safety seems to be for pretty specific, though i suppose “more likely” impacts.

so I guess you can also make a argument for lowered SUVs and trucks to be just as bad as lifted trucks and suvs

smells to me like any non standardization in the auto industry greatly increases the danger of being in a car. Surely this won’t cause any problems.

i think the confederate flag, or a very similar flag often confused for the confederate flag is often related to UK history? Still doesn’t explain why it’s in germany, but it makes more sense, at least.

yeah that sounds about right, it’s basically the extent of most of these things.

Some of it has to do with CAFE standards using vehicle footprint to determine the target MPG.

gotta love when the funny regulations do the opposite of what you expect them to do.

the lead poisoning would only really apply to people 50 and older, i would think, based on my assumed timespans of leaded fuel and continual exposure to it.

yeah pretty much. And much like jeans, they just suck.

a lot of other countries around the world do have bells on some of their freight lines, but it seems to be primarily US import freighters, though there are domestic manufacturers outside of the US that do use bells. I hear they’re relatively common in canada as well? Makes sense frankly.

specifically, this one

nah here in the US we subscribe to the notion that freighters have bells on them.

Anything else is a crime against trains.

the reason why mass matters is because if you have more mass, let’s say twice the mass of a sedan for example, you transfer significantly more energy into the smaller vehicle, and the smaller vehicle transfers significantly less energy into the large vehicle.

go find a video of a freight training crashing into a car or something at a crossing. There’s a reason freight trains don’t have crumple zones.

Australia is not just the US with death spiders.

Aussie land is factorio. America is like a civ game or a city builder.
