Court corruption seems to be working out very well for the Republicans.

Paywall?

Doesn’t look like it’s hunter2.

Woof. I forgot that used to be a thing. I’m pretty sure I had a phonebook those days.

So far we’re doing a great job at keeping profits out of the equation. Let’s see if it lasts.

It would have to be written by sane people.

What was open about them anyway? I thought it was a misnomer from the start trying to fool people into thinking they’re open source.

I know personally people who are actually brainwashed enough to believe any negative information about him must be fake. It’s rather sad.

Mostly, they watch a lot of Fox News.

Language is constantly evolving. There is no clear line. New words are added, meanings change, and it depends on the intent of the speaker too.

However as a mater of practice I choose to never assume it has been reclaimed. It’s always possible that someone hasn’t received the update.

I mean, he’s a billionaire. I guess there’s big money on propping up totalitarian regimes.

I understand it’s very similar to how people get wrapped up in a cult.

Charismatic leadership/ideology and exerting top-down control in much the same way cults operate.

Man at what point can we all get together and just agree the court is insane and ignore its dumb decisions?

Why stop at guns? Everyone should have access to portable WMDs to keep the world safe.

Absolutely. That’s why it’s still good practice to include some kind of comment about the article in the post if the content isn’t clearly identified by the headline.

Surprised not to see meta-classes or package management on this list.

It’s a good idea in principle but headlines are often not in the viewer’s interest. The purpose is to get you to watch the video, not to actually tell you what’s in the video.

Unfortunately there’s lots of good videos with Clickbait titles.

In this case it was a driver holding that thread captive and making an assumption about the hardware eventually responding to a request which never completes.

So yes indeed it was the kernel, and ideally the driver could be written better, but that’s probably easier said than done when the hardware can do weird things.

This was a long time ago, so for all I know the issue has been long corrected.

I used to stick forks in the electrical outlets.

Now I post Linux memes.

How do you determine if a task is unresponsive?

This has happened to me only once on Linux. I still tell stories about it.

It was a CD burning program stuck in uninterruptible sleep! Trapped in a system call into the kernel that can never be interrupted by a signal, it was truly unkillable. The SIGKILLs simply piled up never to be delivered.
