I think the reason Zealandia is called a "submerged continent" is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.

But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.

For the major continents, we have these plates:

• North American
• South American
• Eurasian
• African
• Australian
• Antarctic

There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.

There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.

New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.

Sure. But this is not that.

I'm not sure there is anything illegal about making up these stories.

Edit: All these down votes are just wishful thinking. JD Vance is a piece of shit, but he hasn't done anything illegal. (That's not to say he hasn't done anything wrong, because he totally has.)

There's JD Vance.

There's Ron DeSantis.

There's Jim Jordan.

There's Matt Gaetz.

There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.

Assassination would be good for MAGA. They'd worship him as a martyr.

I'd like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD's.

In other words "old baby got tired after standing out of his crib for two hours, blames mom and dad."

Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns

Kamala: "He lost the election, and he's clearly having a hard time processing that."

My money is on cousin Greg to take over.

The only way to stop a bad child with a gun is a good child with a gun.

Yeah, I think so.

At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it's actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.

I saw it at the MoMA in NYC. The thing is tiny...

Part of it is the community. I really like the OpenWRT community, but it's harder to engage with them when you run a downstream distribution.

But also I'm a bit of a hacker (in the traditional sense). I like to experiment with custom builds of OpenWRT. (And FWIW, their build system uses the same menuconfig as Linux.)

I love my Turris Omnia!

I got the one with the WiFi 6 card. The cool thing is that you can easily open it up and replace parts.

I run the upstream OpenWRT rather than the customized version by Turris. They are good about submitting patches upstream.

From an order of magnitude perspective, the max is terabytes. No "normal" users are dealing with petabytes. And if you are dealing with petabytes, you're not using some random poster's program from reddit.

For a concrete cap, I'd say 256 tebibytes...

I think they're just stopping operations of the company in Brazil.

But I don't think they're going out of the way to prevent Brazilian IPs from connecting.

Where I work, everything is on IPv6. Both the infrastructure for the software services that we run, and our own internal corporate network.

My ISP also provides publicly routable IPv6 prefixes over DHCP. Any layman in my city with this ISP will be on IPv6 by default.

I also use IPv6 for my LAN.

Like, it's just kind of the default in my neck of the woods...

[S]hareholders said they learned that CrowdStrike’s assurances about its technology were materially false and misleading when a flawed software update disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world.

I don't see how they can make this argument.

Falcon is a kernel module. When kernel modules fuck up, you get kernel panics.

Sure, the layperson may not know enough about computers to recognize this, but it's a basic enough fact about operating systems that an investor in a company like this should take the time to learn. It's not like they hid that fact.

If you invested in a company without knowing how their product works, that's on you.

Random Access Memories by Daft Punk is my favorite album of all time.

Recently, I've been listening to Ænima by TOOL.

I could listen to anything by A Devil Makes Three.

Grace by Jeff Buckley ranks pretty highly for me.

Spotify has a playlist called "Songs To Test Headphones With" that I like a lot.

In general, I like anything with a lot of sounds and layers to groove to.

He didn't. The attack occurred in the pre-security area.

The one graph:

The rally was in Butler, a deep red town in the next county north of Pittsburgh.

The shooter was from Bethel Park, closer to and on the other side of Pittsburgh. There's a subway line from Bethel Park to downtown Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh itself is very blue. I'd call Bethel Park purple. It's definitely more suburban than rural.

Dude, no. I don't want to live in a country where politicians are being shot.

Also, I'm pretty sure the blond woman on his left / our right is the one who died. She did not deserve that.

Not the time for jokes.

For sure, Giant Growth isn't amazing, but it's the baseline by which I compare green combat tricks. That is to ask "How much more does it cost and what else does it give you?"

In this case, the answer 1 for three good abilities. Heck yeah.

[[Giant Growth]] is +3/+3 at instant speed for 1.

So for 1 more you're adding trample, hexproof, and indestructible. That's a sweet deal. Hugely versatile.

As long as you've got the mana to spare, this seems like a clear upgrade.

Tell me you've never worked on a farm without telling me that you've never worked on a farm.

The thumbnail photo is extreme, yes. But white farm workers still get sunburns.

In this example I would have committed both crimes.

It's copyright infringement for me to republish and profit from your work without your consent (while that work is not in the public domain).

It's plagiarism for me to pass that work off as my own.

So it was a bad example.

Jon Ossoff for 2028

The sides are definitely not the same. One side is a fascist, a rapist, and a felon; the other side has trouble being coherent after 6pm.

They're not the same, and I know who I'm voting for (not the fascist). But damn do I wish we had some better choices.

Let's say you write a novel. It's really really good. But no one reads it because no one ever hears about it.

Later, I stumble upon your novel and recognize how great it is. Then I republish it verbatim, except with my name as the author. I am much better at business and marketing than you, so it goes viral. I receive millions in sales, am tapped to produce a movie version, and win a Pulitzer for it.

Is that fair? Or should you have some rights in all of this since it was your copy?

TL;DR - We can now control swappiness per cgroup instead of just globally. This is something that userspace oom killers will want to use.

Or surveillance.

It's all "privacy, privacy, privacy" when it comes to private companies. But the EU themselves wants all of that data to create a surveillance state.

Not that the US government doesn't pull the same shit, but it does feel less hypocritical when they do it, because they're not even pretending to be concerned with privacy.

You don't need to provide root access just because you used GPL code, you just have to follow the GPL.

Well, to follow version 3 of the GPL, you do actually need to provide effective root access.

Specifically, version 3 of the GPL adds language to prevent Tivoization.

It's not enough to just provide the user with the code. The user is entitled to the freedom to modify that code and to use their modifications.

In other words, in addition to providing access to the source code, you must actually provide a mechanism to allow the user to change the code on the device.

The name "Tivoization" comes from the practice of the company TiVo, which sold set-top boxes based on GPL code, but employed DRM to prevent the user from applying custom patches. V3 of the GPL remedies this bug.

As an American looking in, Corbyn has always been the face of UK's Labour Party.

Why was he ousted? The article says something about an antisemitism statement, but surely that's not the whole of it.

I think we can Weekend at Bernie's him until he passes. Then we get Kamala, which is not bad.

I think a lot of the federal government can run on its own as long as there are competent people in the cabinet.

I'm visiting with the fam for the 4th. My grandparents keep CNN on 24/7.

CNN has been running "Biden should step down" as their main lead, all week. Every show has at least one segment on it.

They're saying stuff like "70% of democrat voters think he is not fit" or something like that (dunno what their polling data and methodology are though.)

I expect that these 24/7 news networks can apply a lot of pressure to drive a story like this.

Edit: I may have misquoted those polls. Which I think shows how bad CNN's reporting is. They just said something very different came out of a Reuter's poll.

For Zulip, I've only used it on the web. Apparently they have iOS, Android, Desktop, and Terminal clients.

For Matrix, there are many clients on all platforms, but none have ever stood out to me. Element is the official client, and it's... fine I guess.

I love this, especially the criticism of the FSF.

For coms, Zulip seems OK. I would really like Matrix to take off, but I honestly don't really like any of the clients.
