Probably Monty Python’s Life of Brian

I was one of those Holy Grail kids, I loved the movie and memorized the lines. Wanting more, I looked up other Monty Python works

I was in 7th grade or something, raised in a very religious home. I was not expecting what Life of Brian was, and I know I wasn’t old enough to understand all of the jokes they made

Hilarious movie

“who wants to shoot a billionaire?”

Which network is this on? I don’t usually like reality tv, but this sounds fascinating

There are very few situations where a dead man’s switch would have helped these whistleblowers.

Once they have gone public and are at risk of being “suicided” they should have already released everything they knew. Sitting on it after already going public in any way only helps if the goal is to blackmail or extort the company, rather than to expose the company or protect others.

A lot of people have latched onto the idea of a dead man’s switch (and I get it, technical solutions are fun to create), but the only part of the scenario it would help is before the whistleblower goes public, while they are still gathering information and haven’t yet been discovered by the company. Even then, it wouldn’t protect them from being killed, it would only ensure that the partial work is released in case they were discovered and prevented from finishing it.

The Tick.

I really enjoyed the comic book hero shows, and The Tick and Freakazoid were great fun to watch as parodies of the genre.

I was so happy to see The Tick get a couple of seasons as an Amazon show.

Doc was a physics nerd from the 1880s into the 2010s. He didn’t do cli, he did lower level than that.

But why bother holding back in the first place. If this is whistleblower information like Boeing safety issues, there’s no point in setting up a dead man’s switch. You want to release it all immediately in the first place, because keeping it to yourself undermines the point of blowing the whistle

With whistleblower information, why hold it back in the first place? Wouldn’t it be better to release it immediately if they might kill you either way?

I avoid eye contact and hope I didn’t disrupt his day

As someone who has had 8 different cats over the years, I can verify this is not necessarily true.

In my experience it usually meant the cat preferred running water over standing water in a bowl. Sometimes it meant the cat didn’t like the size or shape of their bowl.

Sometimes it means your cat is a defiant nut who doesn’t like things you put out for him, but will gladly drink out of the dog’s bowl, a glass of water, or the toilet.

Which leads me to wonder what they do that test for. You failed, and they just… Scratched their heads in confusion?

Wouldn’t this be an indicator of a neurological issue?

It upsets me, how many people spell his name wrong.

But Mister Rogers would let it go.

You’re all talking about the Crocs, but nobody is mentioning the mayor’s footie pants

Stop fucking Larry

Eeh, you have a point, but on the other hand, if the word meaning “literally” no longer means “literally” then we need a new definitive term for the concept.

And we don’t have one. We just have a word that is becoming more ambiguous every year

Pretty sure that’s ZH?

It sounds like you’re describing every libertarian I’ve ever met

WSL is pretty good these days. Dual boot with Windows is still a pretty risky move with how easily Windows will overwrite your boot loader. I usually recommend you pick one os or the other rather than dual boot, so I’m in favor of WSL or virtualbox. Personally, I have never cared for needing to reboot just to switch operating systems. I tend to stick with one and the second one does nothing but take up disk partition space.

WSL lets you run both simultaneously without rebooting. Virtualbox lets you do the same with extra setup. Virtualbox makes it easier to do GUI setups than WSL does, and the network configuration is a little more obvious.

The best option is to get a second machine so you can run both. If that’s not an option, virtualbox is the better choice for learning. If you just want a Linux environment on your existing setup (similar to using a Mac) then WSL is usually good enough

If downvoting for disagreement isn’t okay, then why is it okay to upvote for agreement? (And why did you downvote me, if you think that’s a bad thing?)

Voting is so users can express their opinion of what does or doesn’t belong in the feed. People who can’t handle mild criticism or disagreement shouldn’t be posting things in public spaces

Personally, I agree with the vegan philosophy of reducing factory farming of meat. What I think is bad for society is villainizing anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with the most extreme viewpoints. Which is explicitly the sort of posts I downvote

And also why I’m no longer allowed to downvote toxic vegan posts in Lemmy.ca

Disagreement isn’t an invalid case for voting, despite what Reddit had people believing before.

The voting system is to let people know how many people thought this content was good or not good for the feed. If you shouldn’t downvote for disagreement, then you shouldn’t upvote for agreement either

But nobody has any problem with that
