Alternatively, the first wave of malware stole the accounts of actual contributors. The same method was used in npm afaik.

Idk if it’s a species difference, but European yellow jacket wasps are pretty fucking chill. I’ve only been or seen someone get stung if they accidentally squish/step on them.
On the other hand they’re soooo persistent about stealing my food and bait. Like no, you can’t steal meat from my fork, fuck off. gets slapped, and comes back with 5 more sisters to bully me out of my lunch. It’s especially bad in late summer and so we have to eat indoors because of them.
Hornets can go fuck themselves though and I try to kill them on sight if they’re around the house.

4·28 days agoBecause the nature of FOSS makes it REALLY difficult to take away either.
RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu pro… FOSS and GPL have nothing to do with the price of the product
Nah, that guy had an accident and ended up sleeping with the fishes.
Trust me bro, nuclear power is clean, I read it on reddit or some shit idk

Riiiight people are protesting for no reason…
The French government has yet to authorize Cigéo’s construction, and now the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) and the Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety (IRSN) have raised concerns about the design. Although it acknowledges overall progress, IRSN questions whether the sealing would be a strong enough barrier and says ANDRA needs to do more to reduce the risk of radioactive leaks. The agency also needs to improve its strategies to monitor risks and to rehabilitate the facility in case of radioactive spills, IRSN says. Perhaps the biggest problem, however, is medium-level radioactive sludge immobilized in bitumen, or tar, a technique introduced in the 1960s that has now been abandoned. IRSN says that in case of fire in a tunnel, bituminized waste could rapidly overheat and burn. “We would risk creating a phenomenon that we don’t know how to stop,” and trigger “a very substantial” release of radioactivity into the environment, says François Besnus, director of IRSN’s Environment Division in Fontenay-aux-Roses. Both agencies say ANDRA and the producers of nuclear waste need to study treatments that prevent overheating; if that fails, a major redesign of the facility may be needed.

Others say the risks are simply too high. Radiation will break down water in the rock and cause corrosion of metal structures, leading to the release of explosive hydrogen gas, says biologist and engineer Bertrand Thuillier, an associate professor at the University of Lille. ANDRA plans to ventilate the tunnels, but that could exacerbate fires by providing oxygen, he says. A failure could be catastrophic, Thuillier warns: The area around Bure helps provide eastern Paris with water and is close to one of the world’s most cherished wine regions, Champagne.

Edit: and just so we’re clear, this is “the biggest, most complex and costliest nuclear decommissioning and radioactive waste management programme on earth.” With planned cost between 23 and 54 bilion €
Ah, that must be why first world countries like France are trying to export their nuclear waste into third world countries, after they were forced to stop exporting it into Russia…
If it’s so safe, why have they been closing down every single high level waste permanent storage site over the last decade?

They already tried patent trolling for over a decade before they gave up… (Look up “Microsoft Novell-Suse patent trolling”)
But it wasn’t updated for the expiry in 2026, 2025, 2024, etc.

Arguably, you can’t have science without philosophy. For example you’re distinguishing what’s science based on the work of 20th century philosophers

Do you have any snaps installed? Each one slows down your boot time because every snap is virtually mounted on boot.
You think you don’t have any snaps? Ubuntu hijacks apt commands to install snaps.
You removed snaps completely from your system to avoid that? Ubuntu reinstalls it after an update.
And that’s besides the fact you’re trusting a closed source app store that’s managed by scum who sold user data to Amazon. They can literally add whatever spyware they want to FOSS and you won’t know it. And considering how many people accused them of illegally harvesting data through Azure Ubuntu images…
What am I doing wrong here?

16·2 months agoThey almost exclusively eat salmon. Humans have destroyed salmon populations. They share their territory with other natural prey like seals. They kill seals for fun. They can’t figure out that seals are edible.
But I’m guessing that’s not the main reason their population is declining
Pacific Northwest orca are among the most contaminated marine mammals in the world, due to the high levels of toxic anthropogenic chemicals that accumulate in their tissues.[115] Implicated in the decline of the southern resident orca population, these widespread contaminants pose a large problem for conservation efforts. While many chemicals can be found in the tissues of orca, the most common are the insecticide DDT, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).[116] Each of these have detrimental physiological effects on orca,[117] and can be found in such high concentrations in dead individuals that those individuals must be disposed of in hazardous waste sites.[118]
Correlative evidence shows orca may be vulnerable to effects of PCBs on many levels. Research has identified PCBs as being linked to restricting development of the reproductive system in orcas and dolphins.[119] High contamination levels leads to low pregnancy rates and high mortality in dolphins. Further effects include endocrine and immune system disruption, both systems being critical to mammalian health and survival.[117] A study examining 35 Northwest orcas found key genetic alterations that caused changes to normal physiological functions.[120] These genetic level interferences, combined with the varied effects of PCBs at other physiological levels, suggest these contaminants may be partially responsible for declines in orca populations.
So use an external PM like flatpak or nix
I’m voting for the introduction of shrimp and silver carp!
