    Edit: wait… return ! 0 ; wtf

    I mean, returning non-zero exit status on error is just good practice. It even managed to evaluate to the same numerical value as EXIT_FAILURE when I tested it on my machine (gcc 11.4.0 linux x86-64), although I’m not sure if that’s always the case or if it’s undefined behavior.

    This cursed code is quite well-written.




  • I have a similar issue (also Firefox on [K]ubuntu 22.04) every time I open a link on a logged-in site in a new tab, but in my case merely refreshing the page is enough to get me logged back in.

    I assume is most likely the fault of the fairly aggressive mix of extensions I’m running rather than Firefox itself, but I haven’t actually tried to troubleshoot it yet.









  • Sometimes there is so much configuration options a GUI would scare most users.

    Or if it didn’t, it would be because the dev limited the options displayed so much that it would cease to be useful for most users. (This is especially true when different users are likely to use different subsets of options rather than having the majority of them using the same subset.)



  • Everything you mentioned is simply a subset of “[corporation] takes away our ability to own property” (i.e., trying to usurp our fundamental property right to control our computer). You can also add Apple and John Deere “right to repair” to the list, along with automakers trying to lock capabilities of the machine we already payfor behind paywalled subscriptions. It’s all the same underlying issue.

    Make no mistake: corporations are waging a war on the public’s right to own property, and we’re going to be forcibly returned to serfdom if we don’t start fighting back.


  • we need to push representatives into office that are far more left-leaning and not fucking autocrats who will MANDATE massive increases in taxes on billionaires and legislate much more significant subsidization of public transit

    You’re framing it wrong. We don’t need to elect scary commies to massively increase taxes in order to subsidize icky collective things; we simply need to elect Fiscal Conservatives™ who will cease massively subsidizing car dependency. In particular, it’s time to repeal Big Government® intrusive regulations that try to tell Red Blooded Americans© they can’t build a multifamily building on their own damn property or that dictate minimum parking requirements.

    This is America, damn it! It’s high time we put the invisible hand of the Free Market back in control!
