I reeeeally wish they would just embrace and find open source software as a public good and get it over with. The equally glacial pace of adoption of OSS to avoid vendor lock in with MS is not exactly giving the OSS world the boost it deserves.

First off, lions rarely attack humans. Most notable repeat cases have been found to have been the result of a tooth abbess that makes it hard for the lion to hunt its usual prey. This was likely just bad timing, and a lion hanging around a camp waiting for interested prey like warthogs to also be interested in food scraps.

If the tent didn't have a full bathroom attached, then this wasn't "luxury." Full stop. Even an en suite bathroom attached to the tent doesn't cross the line into "luxury" at some camps. But that doesn't mean they won't spray "luxury" all over the website of any camp with mattresses and a lodge restaurant to justify the upcharge.

Next, he was a local, staying in an elevated tent, likely on top of his car. I doubt he paid more than $20 a night got there stay.

As for all you people saying "well good" because he was a "businessman" keep in mind that the media simplifies things like a person's whole life into a word, and would do the same to you. He owned an Off Road Centre, a place that kits out 4x4s for exactly the kind of thing he was doing, camping on the Skeleton Coast. That being said, being a person of British descent in Namibia that was a young adult during the Apartheid era....eesh.

If you feel you MUST hate this person, that's your only real avenue and you all don't even understand that. Hate will consume you, and makes you stupid. Maybe try not being a dick and accepting this is clickbait with limited detail because of only contains enough info to piss you off.

Amazing how this guy has no idea that schools are just as much about socializing and learning to deal with other people and situations you'll be in for the rest of your life. That's not "child care," it's a structured environment where the main goal is learning and the real benefits are everything else on the fringes.

Because it's so much better when they're charismatic assholes?

And slam it over and over. And the phone was fine.

I once installed HP shitbox printer drivers from the command line in 30 seconds, and the shitbox printer just...worked.

My heart soared higher than the eagle. I touched the face of the one true FOSS God, and felt that thing when astronauts have epiphanies about the Earth. 10/10, would recommend.

Can confirm. o4 seems objectively far worse at coding than o3, which wasn't super great to begin with. It latches on to a hallucination before anything else and rides it until the wheels come off.

I especially love how this decision was 5-4 that the government has to honor a contract it signed, and the MAGA folks are upset that the government can't simply scam everyone and everything.

Why is this even a question?

Headline should read: "Musk, Trump, spouting BS numbers about budget, immigration, and literally everything else they do."

Change the date, you can run the same story every day.

If you read the bill, heavily sponsored by the MPA, part of it is about forcing ISPs (and presumably US based VPNs) to block the DNS/URLs of "foreign criminal" sites.

It's laying the groundwork for a Great American Firewall.

OP, this is absolutely a Google Translate image of a French ABC book into English.

Arbre is tree

Cheval is horse

Etoille is star

Vache is cow

Gateau is cake

Roue is wheel

Edit: le typo

You're missing that this is a loyalty test.

It's not about finding out this info. It's about finding out who is willing to be the Reek in all the new House Bolton-style fiefdoms. That's why people only have 10 days to rat out colleagues, they want lists of trustworthy loyalists by the time mid-tier appointees get into the office.
