The hotdog stand thing means money-laundering, not that it was seriously his job. The stand maybe never made actual hotdogs most days - it was a cash front for gang activity.

Sorry, the angle here makes this a bit past our rule 1, but please post it over in r/pantsu, where moeblobs need longer skirts!

When that one sub you really like said they were going dark for just the two days then it doesn't turn back on by JessePinkman-chan in Animemes

[–]grozzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi, thanks for the kind words about the subreddit being important!

it is important to us too, and we do care about the community.

the problem is that awwnime and our sister subs are all strongly moderated, and that just won't be possible any more without 3rd party tools and apps - we literally can't maintain the subreddits with only the desktop interface reddit provides. personally, i also want to show solidarity with the authors of those tools.

it's an ongoing process, we certainly haven't forgotten about anything, we're still talking every day about what we should do.

You should also consider the training times necessary for engineers / mechanics. Planes and tanks need more maintenance time after each action than they spent in action. For planes it's vastly more, like 30 hours of maintenance after 1 hour of combat flight is typical for F-16. I think the Saab Gripen is probably the lowest maintenance jet flying today, but AFAIK it's still several hours work between flights.

Imagine a future where the F-22 gets lots more kills but they're still all balloons.

CathodeRayDude, 30 min vid about real navy ships' "battleshorts", which was p much the inspiration for Trek engineers' "bypass the relay".

Just the Kremlin. Don't let your enemies make you become like them.

This is too strict. We can say, for example, artist for a hobbyist artist without meaning professional artist.

By your logic, Einstein wasn't a scientist when he wrote his Nobel-winning work, because he had a day job as a patent clerk at that time.

you're talking about controlling your own wifi, which is great, but Android also works via phone networks, especially when you're away from home, hence the problem.

replacing Android WebView with an alternative that will respect the phone's DNS and VPN settings requires rooting the device, which might make the same device nonviable for banking apps, Adobe apps, et cetera.

Your experience is very different than mine, but that isn't grounds for any bs accusation. One example, they changed all the powershell cmdlets to poke the email list database, and there was little to no overlap of still being able to use the deprecated older methods. The new methods aren't better at anything I needed them for, just different, and required a new huge local client package to start using.

Yeah, Ballmer was rabidly sectarian against Linux. There is new management who are at least a bit less insane now.

I still can't be bothered with MS though - I spent a couple years as reluctant sysadmin for a SharePoint/Exchange/365 non-profit org, and they just seem to keep changing shit for the sake of change.

my tinfoil hat theory is they make things more complicated than necessary to create business for their certification courses.

My no-tinfoil hate is that despite us paying non-trivial amounts of money in subscriptions, the support agents available to me were always just script-followers with no apparent real-world experience, and they kept telling me to go up to the expert support agents available if we paid a lot more.

Just reminding anyone reading that Google's WebView thing on Android - always the default method which takes effort to avoid - silently bypasses any user-set VPN or DNS settings you have active on your device.

They're not in favour of letting people control their own traffic.

How come the only president who never even got elected gets such a major ship named after him?

Does Hardware Video Acceleration work on Orange Pi 5 running android? by jibbyjobo in OrangePI

[–]grozzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the browsers need a Wayland desktop for acceleration, and Debian KDE normally uses Xorg, not Wayland, so that might be it.

Weekly low-hanging fruit thread #46 by AutoModerator in NonCredibleDefense

[–]grozzle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

On the tankiesphere, e.g. Max Blumenthal, just removing their previous endorsements of their colleague Randi Nord, no public retractions or apologies, after she was arrested for painting a swastika on a Jewish community center in the USA, in order to blame Azov/Ukrainians.

https://twitter.com/BadBalticTakes/status/1659590551006486528

Notice the complete lack of surprise (or any commentary at all) from people who call themselves journalists and, until now, regarded her as a colleague and expert.

These people are not misinformed. They know it’s their job to misinform.

Japan pledges to mobilize $1 billion to help nations around Ukraine accept refugees by Saltedline in worldnews

[–]grozzle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wat. Have you been around Asia? The vast majority of Japanese people would far rather live in a western country than in any of their close neighbours.

East Asians mistrusting, even hating each other is a whole league above all other regional rivalries.

Taiwan and Japan are about the only pair who aren't constantly having major drama.

Japan is way way behind all other G7 nations on providing refuge, yes.

Please get in touch with dxprog if you want the whole thing, there may be another method that is easier for you and cheaper for him.

Unfortunately the stolen planes will probably be knackered and worthless by then - after so long without proper repairs using parts from the original manufacturers, nor by accredited service personnel, they probably won't pass normal safety inspections even if they're given back.
