As far as I know Iran hasn’t targeted a school filled with 150+ children. Their “eye for an eye” policy apparently has at least a couple dudes going “yeah, nah, I don’t want to kill children”. Which is basically the inverse of what we’ve seen from Israel and the US.

Not to say they haven’t killed civilians. It just has not been the purpose of their targeting. They have no strategical benefit in doing so. Which, sadly, after over two years watching my country support a genocide, makes Iran look like a fucking saint by comparison.

Fuck my dyslexia and trust in autocorrect. Thanks.

I have to clean up all my project stuff from each night so it’s not all out when my two year old wakes up. I currently have 6 of these reinforced zip bags filled with the shit I used from each of the last 6 nights.

It’s helpful because cleaning up is quick. But, now I gotta go through 6 bags of things and organize them. This repeats infinitely. The bags are very helpful though. At least for not having too much chaos laying out. And it’s a quick two minute clean up because everything goes in the bag without thought.

Leatherwork if anyone is wondering. Currently two years strong on this hobby and am about to finish a handbag that looks similar to this one.

Edit: I forget if there is an original source somewhere. But this version literally removes the joke by replacing “educated” with “brainwashed” with a bad dub. The joke was him saying “Educate Me? Americas son? THAT will be a challenge”. I guess the ultimate irony is that they needed to remove the education line and replace it with “brainwashed” for Americans.

Too late. My problem is fixed. But now grub won’t load.

You know that famous USSR sniper from WW2 with 309 confirmed kills. Irans entire resistance is like that but with drones.

I know we clown on Trump for saying that their “navy” and “air force” are gone. But, it’s really just exposing the stupidity of him and the way his generals are reporting this war to him to keep him happy. He’s not really “wrong” about that if you’re talking about it from the perspective of traditional warfare. And so he is being told the positives. Because, much like fascist leaders of the past, any negative or realistic report will be considered a failure on the one reporting it.

The US is currently the equivalent of the world’s strongest and best military that has a Calvary feared around the world.

The Calvary does an amazing job riding on horseback and slaughtering what foot soldiers they can find. Killing civilians along the way to create fear in the population.

“The enemy has no Calvary” they say. “We have completely obliterated them.”

But the enemy is using snipers. The snipers are picking off important targets one by one and their presence alone is causing world trade to stop in the areas they control.

The Calvary has no way to deal with the snipers as they peak from underground, kill their target, and disappear, never to peak above ground at the point again.

One sniper even took out their fastest and most elusive horseman named F-35. Though only injured the horse may never rise again to rejoin the battle.

The Calvary, though powerful and flawless for its intended purpose, has no means of dealing with the snipers.

So, now, the leader is angry. The Calvary should have been enough. And he will soon throw his foot soldiers to the slaughter as the only words he seems to hear from his generals is “it’s just a few snipers”.

ls doesn’t have the version sort option so since you’re aliasing a piped command to sort you’d be passing any additional commands to sort

So

ls -r

Would actually be

/bin/ls | /bin/sort -V -r

You could overcome this with xargs but it’s just definitely a bad idea in general to alias a standard command piped into another command. Will cause headaches.

Where as something like

ls="/bin/ls -r"

Just defaults ls to a reverse sort and you can still safely add additional args.

What’s worse is making a bunch of bash aliases that are easier to remember and then you hit an environment you can’t use your bashrc in for whatever reason. Then you have no idea how to actually do anything.

I try to only use aliases for things that I repeat often but are only going to be used in my specific environment.

Unless you mean

alias ls="ls | sort -V"

Which would be really awful to do for obvious reasons.

ls | sort -V now that I’ve cursed you.

But I’m running out of mental storage space for bash commands. I wish I could clear some space.

Great perspective and response. Far too many “fuck AI” people are literally advocating for the equivalent of “fuck computers” and “more tedious labor please!”

The reason you should hate AI should be related to it’s exploitation of labor and it’s over use leading to energy and environmental impacts. Trying to ban AI for all applications is just counter productive and impossible. If the anti AI crowd is just filled with people that want it banned outright for everything, well, then the pro AI crowd that wants to slam it into anything and everything will win out.

We need to be pointing to good applications of AI that can benefit open source projects in a responsible way as examples of how it should be used. Not spamming them with hate comments because “AI bad”

All good. I’m in a piss poor mood too and just rambling.

Welcome to the thread. It’s something that annoys me in which I asked if it annoyed anyone else. I’m not sure why you’re trying to explain away my annoyance with information I already know.

Also, filenames are quite literally strings. That’s how the image binaries will be sorted. As filenames.

release_1.1.bin
release_1.10.bin
release_1.2.bin

And yes I’m aware of sort -V. I can still have an OCD annoyance with it. I swear to God if someone replies again telling me why I shouldn’t be annoyed.

At this point I’m more annoyed with replies than I was version numbers.

Total cuck behavior if they do. This the same country with the leader that made that speech about middle powers working together for peace in the new world order? Same country?

I guess it only matters when the country that is being targeted is a part of the western world like Canada or Greenland. When it’s one of the acceptable victims of Imperialism they can help out.

As an American. We fucking suck. But holy shit do the rest of you western countries deserve us as your leader into the collapse of western hegemony.

%YYYY.MM format is a separation between numbers. But still increments in a numerically ordered way. I’m not saying I don’t understand version numbers. I’m saying padding zeros makes it easier to read.

It doesn’t really matter with a release cycle that has less than 10 version increments. Which is fine if you’re only ever gonna hit 13.9 in very rare cases.

But if you constantly have x.yy version numbers. You should probably start with some zero padding. All I’m saying.

13.1
13.11
13.12
13.13
13.2
13.3

Is ugly and annoys me.

Am I the only one that is annoyed with version numbering in which 13.12 comes after 13.4?

It creates a numerically out of order version increment that bothers me to a degree that it shouldn’t.

13.04 and 13.12 would really make much more sense. If you need more than 100 versions, well, you probably should have hit a major release cycle or started with %03d format next time and just pad out x.99… until you go to x+1.

The fact that most videos “cut” quickly after the impact actually makes me think this footage is real.

Iran obviously wants to flex here. So they say it was “shot down” (technically true, it was hit and had to make an emergency landing).

So they cut the footage at the explosion so anyone watching can infer (incorrectly) that it was completely destroyed but Iran can still technically be reporting a true event.

If they were gonna fake it they’d just have longer footage with the aircraft gone.

So, it’s more a means of war propaganda (that both sides are engaging in right now). But likely real footage of the incident.

Either way, this is a flex for Iran. America’s flagship stealth fighter being hit and tracked without its knowledge (I’m inferring from its lack of flare or evasive flight) is insanely damaging to its image of air dominance. Anyone saying otherwise is coping.

If the F35 got hit by AA and landed, it speaks well of the aircraft

Does it? If I was rolling out the first tank against an enemy on horseback that were able to disable my tank enough to send my tank back for repair, I’d really have to rethink my tank design.

Not a perfect analogy. But, I’m trying to make a point so it’s exaggerated. We are talking about the flagship stealth aircraft getting shot at and damaged without its knowledge of being targeted or shot at. That’s insane.

Unless Iran is rocking some Chinese tech we don’t know they have (or even some tech they developed themselves) the F35 was tracked and damaged without any knowledge to the pilot at all that they were being shot at until they got hit.

That may speak well of its impact capability. But, the F35 is not a tank, it’s literal purpose is to target the enemy without being detected and Iran just flipped that on its head with the US militaries flagship 2 trillion dollars of development cost aircraft.

That DOES NOT speak well for it at all given it’s fundamental purpose. The fact that it was forced to land and could not carry out it’s purpose is NOT a testament to its ability at all.

If you are critical of capitalism but have no idea of how it has been built to maintain patriarchy and white supremacy you might need to dig deeper my friend.

This isn’t a criticism. We are all at our own stage of understanding the structures of the past that govern our lives. But even Engels wrote about these structures in 1884 when criticizing capitalism in The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State

Not even the best source on this. Just mentioning Engels for how fundamental this is. I’d suggest August Bebel if you want to get started.

Also, the “otherization” of groups is fundamental to “late stage capitalism” or really as I hope most people have realized is just an evolution of capitalism into its defense state of fascism. As capitalisms contradictions result in a decline in the rate of profit and the material conditions of the masses we are met with what we see today.

I’m taking the meme too far. Maybe OP didn’t even considered this. But if you’re asking yourself what the “otherization” of minority groups and the privilege of majority groups have to do with “late stage capitalism” then I think you haven’t realized what “late stage capitalism” is. It’s fascism. And a fundamental part of fascism is the targeting of scapegoats to redirect blame away from the capitalist class.

I use to work at some major tech companies. Was let go for working with pro Palestine movements within the company that wanted to divest. Anyway, that’s the context of who I am to the below point.

Corporate code is dog shit. There are massive security holes in every piece of software. However, most of its security is maintained by “security through obscurity”. It’s just not viable to brute force these vulnerabilities.

Which is why you constantly get “security updates” to patch in a fix that was found by either (1) someone at the company (2) a white hat hacker that finds the issue and reports it for a fee (3) and actual black hat attack that attempts to exploit the vulnerability for profit of political activism.

Why am I talking about this? Well, when their is working class solidarity, when the people working for the company or outside of that company realize that their interest are NOT in a wage or a bounty. But when their interest are aligned with defeating an exploitative system, that works for the benefits of capital owning billionaires, (1) and (2) will disappear. And (1) becomes a very important point of activism essentially turning into (3). The entire technology sectors security is built on the idea that individual workers will protect the security of the software systems that exploit and invade our privacy. That their wage is more valuable to them than the decline in society they experience.

And the ruling class are not at all concerned or even aware of this massive vulnerability to their entire software and hardware infrastructure.

I’m not saying some revolution will happen this way. Or that the QR code part of the meme is viable. I just know that the systems of surveillance that the state is relying on for control. The “AI” systems they think are the future. They are the hubris that will be a part of their fall. They have no fucking idea how they operate but are placing every bet on them to control an angry working class movement that hasn’t even begun to fight back.

TLDR: Radicalize the Linux nerds

Edit: Wrote this not realizing the sub. Would have wrote it with a more tech focused audience in mind if I had. So, forgive the simplifications.

It’s sadly not just early education either. You can’t be take seriously in the west at the highest levels of education if you don’t first get indoctrinated into the economic structures of capitalism. You can obtain a PHD in economics and never be exposed to actual criticism of capitalism from the most historical figures in a scientific way.

At the highest levels of education you’re directed to serve capital and told details of why it is beneficial you. At the lowest levels you’re just told to fall in line and shut the fuck up you lazy jobless loser.
