Parents who do not want their children to be indoctrinated by "gender ideologues" were labelled as "domestic terrorists" by the Attorney General [1] so the term does not seem to mean what most people think it does.
Having said that Antifa comes to mind as do a number of similar groups, past and present. As to whether you call these "communist" or not does not really matter as political terminology is intentionally vague - anything to the right of a "progressive" soon becomes "extreme-right/fascist/nazi/...", anything to the left of a "hard-line conservative" soon becomes "communist/socialist/anarchist/...".
So yes, there is plenty of violence on the left side of the political spectrum, probably more than there is on the right side of the spectrum. Take e.g. the 2020 BLM riots as an example for what this looks like. The media tends to tone down their reporting when it comes to the former which lead to terms like "fiery bur mostly peaceful protests" [2,3] while exaggerating the latter but the facts speak for themselves.
Violence is violence no matter whether it comes from the right, the centre of the left. A rock thrown by a Muslim does as much damage as one thrown by an atheist or a flag-waving "patriot".
Even if it’s in my power to fix, why should I do this overtime?
Emergencies can happen where you need to stay an hour or two after EOD, but if it’s more than once a year I’m out, personally, local admin permissions or not.
Yeah, I would like a test device that could let me know which transfer rates a cable supports. I've got a huge pile of USBC cables (and adapters). A good chunk of them might even be USB 2.0!
It seems like a device capable of acting as a host & device could just try to shove data down a cable and see what the max is...
Take a USB3 device, plug it in with the cable, and then go to System Profiler (Apple Menu -> About this Mac -> System Profiler). Look for the device, and check the speed. If it says 480MB/s it's a USB 2 cable, if it says 5GB/s, 10GB/s or 20GB/s then it's a USB3 cable.
I assume there's a way to do the same thing on Windows and Linux.
Coconut battery shows how much power your battery is charging with. I've only used this to compare power supplies, but I don't see why it shouldn't work with cables as well. Of course that only works when the battery is empty enough to actually fast charge.
It would be helpful if the connectors for the different cables had different shapes, so it would be immediately obvious what kind of cable it is and mostly prevent plugging incompatible cables into the wrong places. Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
With an electron app, I have access to your file system and can start deleting things. Yes, some operating systems might gate access but it's not standard or granular enough.
While the file system api in browsers requires your approval.
I was playing Spider-Man with a dual sense and got wondering. That game puts out audio to your speakers, a separate audio stream to the speaker in the controller, and _another_ stream of audio for the haptics. Is this any bit possible with any Linux audio solution?
I don't see why that wouldn't be possible with Pipewire. The system will provision your application with the default audio output but through the Pipewire API you can send any audio stream(s) you want to any device(s) you want.
I've played around with patchbay software to manage existing audio streams. I've sent audio to both my headset and streaming software, adding a block of effects inbetween through JACK audio software, and used a similar JACK audio interface to put audio from a voice chat app to the front left and then piped it into my headphones.
I don't know the API for creating audio streams directly but as long as you can introduce enough sources and expose every audio output as a separate sink (i.e. one for your controller) it's all relatively easy.
I doubt game developers will make use of this any time soon, though. Maybe if the success of the Steam Deck brings a new life to Steam Machines?
You can route an audio stream into any channel of any audio device so even if the controller shows 9 channels, you can use all of them if you provide enough sources.
I've added 8 (*2, stereo) channels to OBS at some point for shit and giggles and that worked fine without interrupting my normal headphones. Things can only work better without the compatibility layer.
Your biggest issue trying to get this done will probably be picking the right channels for the right controllers because you have no idea what controllers are what on other systems. An audio device dropdown after some auto detection should work, but if the controller has weird specialised channels that don't follow the normal system output (i.e. 5.1 but two channels are actually stereo headphones and not real 5.1) then configuration may be a pain.
So if I was heading a project and we had one CI provider and someone suggested adding another, my response would be either "no", or try to have the benefits of this alternative service explained to me. And if it is better, would only accept the new one if we converted all old pipelines over to it. Is that wrong?
curl has 7???? I would love to understand why. The article has "reasons", but not many justifications. Load balancing is understandable. "not all eggs in the same basket" less so to me. Are they running identical suites on multiple providers? If so, what's the plan when one suite fails on one but works on another?
Just seems mad to me. "If this is stuff you like to tinker with, we could use your help" best of luck with that!
