It’s for store finding. While you and I might not use it a lot of people do.

Not having to interact with Nazis is tied to which instance I signed up on? I’m confused by this argument.

Here, now you don’t have to imagine:

This isn’t a new thing. Black women have known about this for a long time.

we find our origins in the historical reality of Afro-American women’s continuous life-and-death struggle for survival and liberation.

we were told in the same breath to be quiet both for the sake of being “ladylike” and to make us less objectionable in the eyes of white people.

let alone cataloguing the cruel, often murderous, treatment we receive, Indicates how little value has been placed upon our lives during four centuries of bondage in the Western hemisphere.

I don’t think either is actually true. I know many programmers who can fix a problem once the bug is identified but wouldn’t be able to find it themselves nor would they be able to determine if a bug is exploitable without significant coaching.

Exploit finding is a specific skill set that requires thinking about multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously (or intentionally methodically). I have found that most programmers simply don’t do this.

I think the definition of “good” comes into play here, because the vast majority of programmers need to dependably discover solutions to problems that other people find. Ingenuity and multilevel abstract thinking are not critically important and many of these engineers who reliably fix problems without hand holding are good engineers in my book.

I suppose that it could be argued that finding the source of a bug from a bug report requires detective skills, but even this is mostly guided inspection with modern tooling.

This is most likely an effect of recency bias for you which is unfortunate.

Radical feminism is 4th or 5th wave feminism.

I haven’t. And now I believe you even less and think you are intentionally spreading rumors or lies because you have an agenda.

Fwiw, I haven’t met a single real person who espouses the viewpoint you described. I’m not saying they don’t exist. I’m saying that until evidence is presented otherwise I doubt there are as many as you think there are.

Yes, in theory that would work. But they actually make main disconnect switches for this in the event that the main breaker fails. It’s a mandatory install in all grid tie electrical generator systems (including solar).

And that “practical use” kills linemen.

“As a” implies knowledge that it is not a generator but can effectively be used as one.

I can’t imagine that they would be trying to make that argument. 😮

Many large companies that support wfh, set pay scales based on where you live, not where they are. If you live in a low cost of living area you get paid less. Live in a high cost of living area get paid more.

Before you start jabbering about how companies don’t do that… They do. Just because you don’t work for one, or don’t know about your own companies policies you should look it up. Most companies are pretty discreet about it and people don’t talk about taking pay cuts to move to low cost of living area but it is common.

I remember the day Firefox came out… It will always hold a special place in my heart.

Have LTS kernels started backporting non security fixes like this? To be fair I haven’t looked at this in over a decade but this kind of patch wouldn’t have been backported then.

This is one of those comments that causes Arch to get the reputation that it does. You aren’t wrong and you probably don’t intend to be off-putting but here we are.

Red Hat and Debian both backport security fixes but don’t backport things like laptop device support. It can take a year or more for versions of those distros to gain the kind of functionality that is looking for.

This is an excellent answer. My eli5 addition is this:

It depends on your distro. Distros that do more hand holding and more compatibility without additional operator involvement will be more likely to backport or use a stable kernel with backports like these. Examples: Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint. Distros that focus on system stability will take much longer to integrate backports like these, ex: Debian. And masochists will tell you to do it yourself, ex: lfs, arch.

It’s interesting, I agree with what you say here and this is what I thought you were saying… But when I read it the first time without additional context it kind of sounded like the argument was that we are infantilizing the older individuals. It appeared that the argument could have been: we make the “rules” and apply them to the older half because they are the ones who are incapable of dealing with their emotions, needs and desires.

You are right that it is in the subtext. This is the same poor argument that men are unable to control their desires if a woman wears revealing clothing… Just restructured around women being “taken advantage of” by a “smarter more mature male”.

It might also have been why the other commenter thought you were defending the conservative position. There are two steps here that you made when the intermediate step could also apply and would be an honestly revolting position to defend. I couldn’t quite figure out if it was a reasonable position or a very well hidden dog whistle.
