If you are surprised by that most Americans want more rights for cars and trucks than for people you have not been paying attention.

That closing the last tab closes the window instead of leaving you with a blank tab. And that there is not even an option in the UI to change this, and you have to go to about:config -> browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab.

I went shopping with my partner for a lamp. On the positive side, when store employees get chatty, my partner handles the smalltalk. On the negative side, I knew what I wanted the lamp to do; my partner had vague feelings about how they wanted the lamp to make them feel. We did not find a lamp that instilled the right feelings.

It was not a total loss, I bought a lamp for my work desk so I can see better for writing and soldering. And I got some poffertjes from a street vendor.

Nothing in the Qualys report nor the Ubuntu page for the CVE indicate that there is something to be fixed in systemd, only that you can create systemd-tmpfiles rules that will expose the vulnerability in snapd.

What do you think systemd-tmpfiles needs to do differently?

Yet another critical vulnerability in systemd

This is a critical vulnerability in snapd, not systemd. It sounds like it could also be exploited if something other than systemd deleted the files in /tmp/. Or if /tmp/ was not mounted.

I replaced my KitchenAid with an Ankarsrum. No regrets.

Depends where. In America, human drivers are not held accountable for running over pedestrians, so I am not sure why a computer would be.

I do not understand why you seem so convinced that I voted for Jill Stein. I did not. I am well aware that she is terrible.

Are you suggesting that the Working Families candidate running for council of my small city is a Russian asset?

Are you suggesting that instead I must vote for the Democrat mayor who got busted for not actually living in the city when she admitted it when her ex-husband was busted for selling drugs out of the house that she claimed to live in (and where her children did live), and then got busted for campaign finance violations but was still allowed to run again?

Or the Democrat state senator who repeatedly defended sex offenders in the Senate?

Or the Democrat governor who gave a billion dollars of taxpayer money to out-of-state billionaires to build a new head-injury stadium (that the state would not own). And who tried to kill congestion pricing in NYC?

You and the vote-blue-no-matter-who people can fuck all the way off if you refuse to put good candidates.

Did you miss the part where my districts are so lopsided that it does not hurt the lesser of two evils if I vote for good?

There are other 3rd parties.

Depends where he lives. I always vote third party, but every district I am in is gerrymandered, and my state is not within 10 points of competitive for president, so my votes do not matter other than getting third parties on the ballot.
