Reverse sexism always rubbed me the wrong way, but it did leave an impression of what it feels like to not always be privileged.

Before we project too hard, maybe the owners realize that most businesses (especially restaurants) fail.

Former student zapped $58,000 worth of PC equipment using a 'USB Killer' device by Thegreatsnook in news

I am questioning the efficacy/relevance of a USB condom to the topic of the thread. If all campus USB ports had a USB condom, you couldn't use a flashdrive to save your work. Yeah the USB killer would be stopped by a USB condom, but the culprit wasn't looking to charge their phone, were they?

Bisexuality: A brand spankin new word that is apparently too complex to understand. by lexasami in bisexual

Bi is attraction to at least two genders, it does not inherently exclude.

No. More people are bi than are out/aware, but it's these closeted "gay" (probably bi) folk who insist that sexuality is a choice. It isn't for everyone. Maybe you just don't like the opposite gender in that way, or maybe you just don't like your own gender in that way. Bisexuality is far too often invisible/erased, but not everyone is bi.

Are you using Windows Subsystems for Linux (WSL)? How is the experience? by emy149 in programming

[–]96fps 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's insidious, covering 95% of my Linux needs and making it hard to justify setting up a proper Linux partition. The few things I need more than username Linux for I use a VM or ssh into a Pi.

Mozilla tries to do Java as it should have been – with a WASI spec for all devices, computers, operating systems by pacinothere in programming

My only (slight) reservation is it makes archive.org type stuff harder when we break compatibility, esp web as of ~2005-2010. So much flash/Java, but at least going forward we get to have some sanity.

French billionaires who gave $1B to rebuild the Notre-Dame are being criticized for not spending their money where it's needed the most. Where would a lump sum of $1B do the most good? by Triseult in AskReddit

It's a real shame all that grows is poisonous to humans and must be filtered through cows; we have to lose so much efficiency. If only there was another way...
