It’s a legend, but a fun one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Joan#Legends

Some versions of the legend suggest that subsequent popes were subjected to an examination whereby, having sat on a so-called sedia stercoraria or ‘dung chair’ containing a hole, a cardinal had to reach up and establish that the new pope had testicles before announcing “Duos habet et bene pendentes” (“He has two and they dangle nicely”),[17] or “habet” (“he has them”) for short.[18]

I shit you not, it took the Catholic Church until the 1800’s to finally accept that the Earth revolves around the fucking Sun. Maybe the 1750’s if someone’s feeling generous, but they were still censoring Galileo’s and Copernicus’s books at that time.

Narrow, old, and irrational!

Technically they didn’t make DOS but bought it, rebrand it then had to support it.

I’m just going to acknowledge rather than celebrate.

This is how you treat wanna be despots and dictators. Remove them from power, put them on trial then throw them in jail for their crimes.

Spoilers work like this:

::: spoiler shown text

You need the word “spoiler” after the first colons and the colons have to be at the start of the lines.

Well, a piece of shit can become liquid shit, and liquid shit can become aerosolized. So, yes it’s possible for someone to be shittier than a piece of shit.

!196@lemmy.world is still active. Just not as active as this one.

The right to repair. It’s going to require the ability to make changes to the software on the vehicle. At a minimum the ability to replace the public encryption keys used to communicate with the servers. The bootloader and software is probably locked behind signing keys; so you need to be able to disable or add your own keys. I doubt anyone has access to the full protocols used to communicate with the servers. So, the full technical standard need to be released (which is never going to happen) or reversed engineered through unencrypted traffic analysis and reverse engineering the software.

A good right to repair law could require some of that be releasable while the company is still active or all if the company goes belly up. IIRC there was a smaller EV company that went bankrupt and there was a concern that once the servers were shutdown the vehicles would be bricked. Not sure what happened in the end. In any case, cars as IOT is the stupidest idea ever created.

“Accidentally.” After the third time other wizards start asking how accidental it is.

Neat buuUUUuuut.

Does Revolt have federation?

As of right now, Revolt does not feature any federation and it is not in our feature roadmap.

[…]

What can I do with Revolt and how do I self-host?

[…]

You can self-host Revolt by:

• Using Docker Compose and our recommended guide.
• Building individual components yourself from the source code.

It’s basically a bunch of islands.

Don’t poop for 3 days

People used to do the same thing for SpaceX. The advice engineers were giving each other was go work there for a couple of years then get out before they burn you out.

Still, Teslas are by far the most popular electric vehicles in the United States, and some car owners have said on Facebook groups that they have bought one to show their support for Mr. Musk.

Well that’s just going to encourage more fires.

New D&D meme just dropped: Okay, boomer wizard.

I give it a 5/10. No mention of beans, unix socks, or tankies.

I don’t care if they are evil or incompetent or both. They’re decimating the federal workforce which will have long term consequences. Some of which will be fatal and not just for Americans.
