Do you remember when creimer was throwing rsilvergun under the bus?

No. And your obsession is unhealthy.

There are also rumors creimer created an AI to be able to continue throwing rsilvergun under the bus from his grave.

If a massive amount of critical information and system of your business can be held hostage by a child then you are not "taking security very seriously" and you do not "respect the rights of [your] users".

That fact that stuff like this happens is astoundingly stupid. This foolish child isn't innocent but the businesses are all guilty as a hell.

People like you will bitch about everything Trump does

Not everything. Just the things that are contrary to common decency. And the things that are beneath the office of the president. And the things that are illegal. And the things that embarrass us on the world stage. And the things that are self-serving. And the things that are not helping our citizens. So no, not necessarily everything, just most of it.

Submission + - Two new studies about how many birds die from wind turbines (euronews.com)

ZipNada writes: The energy company Vattenfall and the tech company Spoor have analysed the extent to which wind turbines endanger birds at the offshore wind farm in Aberdeen. Over a period of 19 months — from June 2023 to December 2024 — video recordings of a wind turbine were made with the help of AI-supported analyses. A total of 2,007 bird flight paths near the monitored turbine were examined.

"By combining AI-powered detection and detailed expert analysis, we can replace assumptions with concrete observations and measure actual behaviour in the immediate vicinity of wind turbines," says Ask Helseth, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Spoor.

The study found that there was not a single collision

A study by the German Offshore Wind Energy Association (BWO) also shows that migratory birds almost completely avoid wind turbines.

For one and a half years, researchers analysed over four million bird movements with the help of radar and AI-based cameras. The result showed that over 99.8 per cent of migratory birds reliably avoided the wind turbines.

Submission + - Government Workers Say They're Getting Inundated With Religion (wired.com)

joshuark writes: Federal workers across multiple U.S. agencies are complaining that Christianity is flooding into their workplaces in ways they've never seen before—and they feel powerless to speak up.

It started after President Trump returned to office and signed an executive order in February 2025 creating a White House Faith Office and similar offices inside federal agencies. Since then, religion has crept into everyday government life in a big way...Secretary Brooke Rollins sent an agency-wide Easter email titled "He has risen!" with explicitly Christian messaging. One employee called it "grotesque" and suspected AI wrote it. A formal complaint was filed with the Office of Special Counsel.

Department of Labor hosts monthly worship services with pastors and political figures. One speaker, Alveda King, said she was "more concerned about" nonreligious employees—a comment that rattled staffers who felt it implied atheists were going to hell.

Health and Human Services, under vaccine denier RFK Jr., expanded funding for faith-based addiction treatment and gave workers the afternoon off for Good Friday.

Department of Defense has seen the most dramatic shift, with Secretary Pete Hegseth hosting monthly prayer services featuring high-profile Christian nationalist figures like Doug Wilson, who has advocated for a theocracy and argued women shouldn't vote. Hegseth himself has called the U.S. war with Iran a "holy war."
Employees are afraid to push back—only 22.5% of federal workers in 2025 say they could report wrongdoing without retaliation, down from nearly 72% in 2024.

The government's position: these events are voluntary and legally permitted. A public policy professor quoted in the piece put it plainly: "The Trump administration has opened a new chapter in the integration of Christianity into the daily work of government."

A treaty?? With Iran??

You say that like any treaty we've signed is worth more than the paper it's printed on.

Allowing those sons of bitches to have nukes is like giving children to an Epstein foundation.

I have it on unquestionable authority that Iran's nuclear program was utterly and completely obliterated last year.

What could possibly go wrong?

The US does have substantial domestic oil infrastructure

My Dunning-Kruger level of understanding is that our infrastructure, particularly refinement, doesn't "match" our reserves. Different oil quality/composition. I don't know how fast you can physically stand up refining capacity, but I can guarantee it won't be fast or cheap. "Having the Hormuz remain closed isn't a problem at all" is such a myopically idiotic comment that it barely deserves a reply. I suspect our AC is further to the left on the D-K curve than I am.

Right? This comment fits in with your sentiment quite well: "Whether the site will comply with this order is highly uncertain."

That "uncertain" is carrying a lot of weight there. I guess "snowball's chance in hell of them complying" doesn't carry the same editorial professionalism.

Anyone who actually cares even a little can budget for a 60+" 4k display with some basic HRD capability and decidedly ok sound bar.

I was wandering through my local Walmart the other day, happened across a 75" 4k Samsung on clearance for $350. Being from Walmart, I don't suspect it was anything special, but for that price? Had I brought a vehicle that it would have fit in that TV would have for sure followed me home. To your point: Even not on clearance, a passable 60"+ TV can be had for a couple hundred bucks, and a reasonable soundbar for similar. It's no real mystery why people are going to the theaters less and less.

If the sex (or gender) of the person making the post was not given, "they" would have been grammatically correct.

It's also grammatically correct when the gender or sex of the subject is not relevant, or is not needed to add understanding or context to the sentence. Since the sex/gender was already established, using "they" in place of "he" adds variety and avoids repetition, while not losing any necessary information. It's only a "problem" because crybaby OP can't handle reading "they" in a sentence without getting triggered. Not my problem.

Ah, yes, more snowflake noise from someone who probably uses the word "snowflake" in their daily vernacular in attempt to insult. Tell us again how mad you are about the grammatically correct use of the word "they" when referring to a singular person that has nothing to do with "mentally ill" pronouns.

Comment Why NULLFS: (Score 5, Informative) 29

I was curious so I looked up the details about NULLFS.

Apparently, there is an issue with swapping the root filesystem which is done using the syscall pivot_root()... but not with initramfs,
per the man page...

The rootfs (initial ramfs) cannot be pivot_root()ed. The recommended method of changing the root filesystem in this case is to delete everything in rootfs, overmount rootfs with the new root, attach stdin/stdout/stderr to the new /dev/console, and exec the new init(1). Helper programs for this process exist; see switch_root(8).

So basically, this fixes a long-standing hack that well... is not safe in some cases, most notably with with containers (CVE-2020-15257). The proper solution was to make a simple null filesystem that could use pivot_root and swap out the rootfs without hacks.
