Any municipal police that confronts ICE will be killed.

But seriously maybe they’ll take a few with them or even more likely that ICE will just run away in the face of actual resistance.

Not entirely true: some people will change with smaller warnings, even just this news. Others require graphic warnings plastered on the front to change. More warnings, more impact.

Well, yeah. That’s what the spectrum is.

Low end: “you can see the source but can’t do anything with it” (questionable whether this counts as open source at all)

High end “do what you want, it’s literally yours” (public domain).

One can debate where the low boundary of “open source” is, or what makes one license more or less free than another, but the spectrum is the range of limitations.

It is a spectrum (MIT vs GPL vs APL for example) but this is outside that spectrum.

Don’t have to worry about that, win11 isn’t reliable enough for that.

We had a similar situation for a voicemail system though.

Better to link to the main page rather than the download page that immediately tries to download the app.

Sadly I doubt my employer would take kindly to me using this tool.

Absolutely.

Just need a way to admin Active Directory from Linux and I’m set…

4. Repeat step two forever when Microsoft decides there was a problem that can be solved by resetting your default browser.

Follow-up, it’s looking like the insane shit is entirely within the realm of possibility, given Venezuela.

GoG can’t compete because they won’t. They haven’t had a functional Linux client in what, a decade?

You’re completely right but the reason they don’t is because they see his threats as non-serious and assume that there’s no way they’d be implemented even if he means them seriously.

Whether they are correct remains the be seen, and Canadians are absolutely right to take the threats seriously and stand up to the insanity.

Yeah… the difference is that one (sparrows) was just a bad idea due to a total misunderstanding of the problem. The sparrows weren’t the pests, the bugs they eat were.

The other (one child) is a good idea that was poorly managed due to unexpected cultural mores. Even so it would still be effective once people are “incentivized” to give up on the foolishness of prioritizing one sex over the other.

The one child policy really gonna be up there with killing all the sparrows long term…

Except that killing the sparrows was a bad idea.

To be fair, a patent for a game is a stupid concept so she did well to get $500 for it. And in 1930s money that’s not bad at all.

That was a brilliant explanation, thank you.

para- and mono-phyletic were indeed the problem words. I can tell they are related to phylum but “phylum” doesn’t mean much to me except to know that it’s a word for some grouping of species.

The other part where I was snagged is the significance of cladistics and the new/old classification methods. I knew both terms as “words for groups of species and hadn’t dug further.

Between the family tree example and the diagram — got it, thanks to you and your sibling reply.

I kinda know what some of those words mean.

Can I get a picture?

That is pretty severely exaggerated though to emphasize the form.

They didn’t say it was actually funny, just that it’s their funniest thought of the day.
