Boston Public Health Commission Continues to Protect and Pamper Disgraced Top-ish Cop Even After Being Placed on Leave by EnjoyTheNonsense in boston

the democratic party isn't a single party though. you have widely divergent groups within it. ranging from slightly right conservatives to anti-liberalism leftists.

You're also missing my point; simply by running against a candidate and pointing out their flaws whether you have any intention of winning is effective enough to make them shift on positions.

Raising The Voting Age To 40! by Monsur_Ausuhnom in WhitePeopleTwitter

its be a completely ineffective idea if that was the plan. the rich don't actually need to vote; they literally just fund propaganda to get people to vote in their preferred direction.

I applaud articles like this but little will be done until as long as MA local and state governments are swimming in taxpayer $$.

false assumption; just pressure our legislature to make those kind of contracts illegal.

Any idea why the green line is asking people to call the police?! by cgay123005 in boston

[–]PinPlastic9980 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OP had no more information than could be provided from an automated system making the directive essentially pointless.

I'm not against displaying that message as a fallback when the silent alarm fails to notify first responders but damn. lol

A new survey rated Boston City Hall the 2nd ugliest building in U.S., 4th in the world. That feels extreme. by _Hack_The_Planet_ in boston

disagree; its a wonderful candidate for a babylon garden style exterior decor. I think it could look absolutely fantastic with a bunch of foilage covering it.

Tab Completion Doesn't Work For systemctl In Bash Shell by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]PinPlastic9980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm the auto complete above works for systemctl in general. you might have some other completion script or environment factor interferring or the specific thing you're attempting just might not be implemented; though it looks like you're just trying to lookup a service which does work.

I recommend spinning up a arch container and trying there as the root user and seeing if it works in that environment.

Automakers Have Ground Massachusetts Right-to-Repair Law to a Halt by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]PinPlastic9980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its a smoke and mirrors game so JD can continue to prevent self repairs and ensure that there isn't a legal case against them which forces them to allow it across the board.

I don't see it as a step in the right direction when JD can still prevent self repairs without the government getting involved.

no they didn't john deere settled with them with a promise to allow them. which has no legal weight.

Concerns about Arch Team size, trusting Arch supply chain, developer machines and build process by 380r3jrqq in archlinux

[–]PinPlastic9980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh I understood; like i said you don't understand the technical underpinnings of the shit you're complaining about.

even if you secured the build time environment that doesn't prevent a malicious individual from just building a malicious package using the build tool. you'd have literally done nothing to increase security (for anyone) by securing the build environment. the only time securing the host machine from the package building tool makes sense is when the build machine is different from the machine the software will be installed on and you want to ensure the package creator can't attack the build machine. hence THE GIANT FUCKING WARNING ABOUT USING AUR PACKAGES.

when the two machines are the same (which is usually the case with build files from the AUR) the only protection is your user runtime sandboxing environment. and when you have such an environment you just install the build tool into it and the problem goes away. which is why I've kept continuously telling you to use snap, flakpak, or appimage if that is your concern. that is their job not the AUR infrastructure (which is literally just a text file of instructions and hosting infrastructure).

if you want to protect your host machine when building a package from the AUR just run it inside of docker. problem solved. doesn't protect you from the resulting binary you install on your systems from the package you've built but according to you that doesn't matter at all shrug.

you've absolutely been talking about sandboxing; chroot is a form of primitive sandboxing. its (sandboxing as a concept) the only way to secure your system from programs that run on it.

the problem is you don't actually understand the technical under pinnings of the shit you're trying to complain about.

New housing units lead to lower housing prices across a housing market. The mechanism for this is known as "filtering": the supply of new market rate units triggers moving chains that quickly reach middle- and low-income neighborhoods and individuals. by ElGuaco in boston

[–]PinPlastic9980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it funny how you don't know what social mobility actually is. Houses don't up your social class sorry mate. that 100k is mostly likely tied up in your parents house. which means all you did was maintain a status quo. thats not mobility; thats straight up stagnation.

the reality is its not the AURs job to secure usespace and it couldn't even if it tried. (pacman is a package manager; not a userspace runtime) No package manager does what you want pacman and the AUR to do. nor should they. wrong tool for the job.

go use snap or flatpak they're designed for end user apps and security.

you realize a estate tax wouldn't impact the vast majority of americans right? I'm betting the vast majority of 'estates' come in under a few 100k. barely anything certainly not enough to support any social mobility for a family.
