20% chance this man goes viral and actually gets elected

There are already plenty of companies that sell managed data removal like this, Mozilla claims to be doing it better and perhaps they are incrementally more trustworthy than the smaller no name ones

It's still bonded to silicon carbide...

Don't get me wrong, it's an important advancement in semiconductor technology if the claims they're making hold up. But it's grown on silicon wafers. "Post-silicon chips" feels somewhat misleading here

For every single-family home a hedge fund owns over a certain limit each year, it would be subject to a tax penalty, the revenues from which would be used for down payment assistance programs for those seeking to buy their first home from a hedge fund.

Sounds like even if this gets passed, whatever penalties get assessed are just going right back to the hedge funds anyway? And it's a 10-year plan... Kinda sounds like a whole lotta nothing. Disappointing.

If a malicious actor has physical access to your machine, you have already lost. Been that way since the dawn of computing. Full-disk encryption can potentially protect your data from unauthorized access, but it can't really stop a thief from wiping the laptop and making it their own. And if you get it back you probably want to wipe it anyway.

Ah yes, toxic individualism

Honestly, depending on the particulars of how that type of thing fits into the bigger picture, that could unironically be good?

Physical protests are the most visible form of protest currently, but any way for immunocompromised people and others for whom it's not safe to be out in the crowd to still contribute is probably a good thing.

And I'm sure the internet is clever enough to come up with a way to amplify those voices effectively eventually.

OS-as-a-service needs to be made illegal, ffs

The most important thing I've learned from discussions around this conflict is that about 95% of the chucklefucks involved are not equipped to discuss it and should shut the fuck up, myself included

I would ask whether you realize you're on a linux community, but you referred to a man page as a wiki article so you are clearly lost.

The first paragraph past the link is a summary of the function of the program.

fstrim is used on a mounted filesystem to discard (or "trim") blocks which are not in use by the filesystem. This is useful for solid-state drives (SSDs) and thinly-provisioned storage.

"No loss in pay" as far as I can interpret it would mean getting paid the same for working 32 hours as you would have for working 40, yes

The autoworkers union the article refers to as an example is seeking a 46% pay rise to coincide with the transition to 32 hours.

One of the more interesting things I took away from Reddit was that there is a fairly noticeable threshold of community size above which the quality of participation abruptly drops. I think there's a conversation worth having about what barriers to entry are desirable or not.
