The 6s, released 2015, still gets security updates once in a blue moon

He must running version 10.17 or newer

i think they were joking, but i can't prove it

Unfortunately the margin is too small to contain it.

Maybe -i can.

fzf has pretty killer history fuzzy search. Just load its keybindings in your .bashrc

It pains me greatly that the host name part is in lack of a better name unimportance to significance in domain names, but significance to unimportance in URL paths

Um. Does it? The stated usecase was:

> Dd is super useful for incrementally writing boot loader to /dev device endpoints when offsets are required (multiple images).

How exactly does one use cat to overwrite only a specific offset? Say, I have a 512 bootloader that needs to be placed starting at 2048 bytes into the image; how would I invoke cat to do that?

No it doesn't, what's being done here is inserting a binary block into the middle of a binary file (or disk) without overwriting the data before or after it

I think a more intriguing question is ”Why no Chinese industrial revolution?” Their economy was nowhere near as slavery or serfdom based, and was impressively technologically advanced

The weirdest thing to me is that the Chinese had sky lanterns 2,300 years ago but they never scaled them up to hot air balloons. It took 2,000 years before Joseph-Michel Montgolfier saw some laundry billow as it dried above a fire, inspiring him to build a flying machine.

What amazes me is we've had hot air balloons for 250 years and still haven't scaled them into partial vacuum space zeppelins, we're still burning rocket fuel like it's the dark ages

I’d guess the answer is similar - there was no constraint on a key resource to act as a forcing function.

i would argue most people that install chromium, not chrome, no what a search engine is. unfortunately, since chromium lost google account login capabilities, i do not install chromium anymore. now i just think "search engine" means "google".

I would argue that even though most people can e.g. walk up stairs or fill in a form or change their browser settings, you should often provide e.g. wheelchair ramps or helpers or sensible defaults for the ones who can't.

Installing chrome on debian is certainly harder than installing chromium.

And you are assuming there is only 1 user in the machine. Which is not the case for people who have kids.

People sometimes absentmindedly misspeak. Either that happened and you can politely s/Firefox/browser/ so that the comment reads as a reasonable, even insightful contribution to the discussion, or the comment is utter nonsense and you can feel smug that you’re not as stupid as they must be. Granting the former interpretation is the more charitable option.

You should also understand that “Surely…” doesn’t mean the same thing as “I am sure”. “Surely…” is a plea for sanity.

I mean all he has to do is to uninstall fedora-chromium-config
