Michael Crichton in a list of “best sci-fi”? Really? He just does mass market pulp. It can be entertaining, in the same way a Transformers movie can, but it hardly qualifies as “best”.

“Life is what happens while you’re making other plans,” as they say. The future is important, but so is the now.

Came here to say this. Fantastic storyline, and runs great on Linux.

If loaded with pages didn’t have access to keyboard events, you wouldn’t be able to write comments on Lemmy posts. I’m not a front-end guy, but that should be limited to just white the browser is focused.

There can be only one: Highlander

Don’t even need to bring force into it. Can you imagine “I’ll give you $20 if you transfer your vote on issue X to me”? Seems like it’s basically just handing the government to the billionaire class even more than we already do.

It seems to me like joining the military is arguably more deserving of the phrase “selling your body”; you’re basically signing up to get injured or killed.

Multi-account containers is one of my favorite things about Firefox. I use Temporary Containertabs too, so anything not in an explicit container is in a brand new one of its own.

Put a pebble in your shoe.

Making a profit from healthcare and health insurance.

Or even just make private health insurance illegal.

Yeah, that’s much different than the brown bread my family calls Irish soda bread. Here’s the recipe:

• ½ lb./225g whole wheat flour (1-3/4 c.)
• 3 oz./75g unbleached white flour (2/3 c.)
• 1½ oz./40g porridge oatlets (3 heaping Tbsp.)     (steel cut oatmeal or John McCann–in a tin)
• 1½ oz./40g  wheat bran (1 c.)
• 1½ oz./40g wheat germ (1/2 c.)
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. salt
• 1 pint/600 ml buttermilk (2-1/8 to 2-1/3 c.)

1. Preheat a cool oven, 300ºF/150ºC/Gas mark 2.
2. Grease and flour a 2 lb./900g loaf tin (I use an 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-5/8 inch bread pan).
3. Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly.  Then, add them to the buttermilk and mix quickly to make a wet dough (I have found it better to use only 500 ml or 2-1/8 c. buttermilk).  Turn into loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven on the very bottom shelf for 2 to 2-1/4 hrs.  When cooked, the bread will shrink from the pan slightly and sound hollow when rapped on the bottom with the knuckles.

When I make it it’s much wetter than that and definitely needs to to poured into a bread pan. This is for Irish Brown Bread, not for the white flour soda bread with currants and whatnot.

It’s much closer to a cake, really; it’s a batter more than a dough. It’s not sweet though, which is a defining factor for a lot of people.

Then this is definitely your easiest and safest way to go: no new services to configure, no rolling the dice to see how upset the org will be about possible policy violations.

If the note is with your shoes, does that make it a footnote?

A blowtorch and a pair of pliers.

The tl;dr from the article (which is actually worth a read):

The very short version: Unix PIDs do start at 0! PID 0 just isn’t shown to userspace through traditional APIs. PID 0 starts the kernel, then retires to a quiet life of helping a bit with process scheduling and power management. Also the entire web is mostly wrong about PID 0, because of one sentence on Wikipedia from 16 years ago.

I love Localsend because it’s gloriously simple: Does exactly what you want, and nothing more. I haven’t used KDE Contact; what else does it add in?

If XSS is your concern, check out Firefox’s Container Tabs. They allow you to set up tab groups that restrict access to cookies to only tabs in that group, so you can just, eg, set up a group for your bank and restrict it to just your bank’s site. Your session cookie etc are then not available to any other tab groups.

I pair that with the Temporary Containers extension, so any random tab I open is in its own container. Everything is always separate.

It’s especially insulting when you think about how many people you meet once and do remember their name.

What if that number is zero?
