Should Ukraine build the bomb? How would you feel if they did? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] mannycalavera 89 points 22 hours ago (14 children)

The irony is that Ukraine had "the bomb", but the US and its allies promised to protect them if they gave it up. Oops.

Definitely Swamp Thing for me. I would also pay to see that cross over.

Has poppymania gone too far? in c/uk_politics
[–] mannycalavera 15 points 3 days ago

I've literally never been stopped for not wearing a poppy. People wearing them don't say anything to me about not wearing one and I don't say anything to them about wearing one. It's like me commenting on someone's jewellery. Why the fuck would I? People want to wear what they want to wear.

Is this really such a newsworthy issue?

The Cult of Microsoft in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] mannycalavera 2 points 4 days ago

They include "research" when it suits their argument. And speak in absolutes. No drive time radio isn't as popular as what it used to be... but he's using all the same tricks.

He sells controversy. That's his schtick.

Can I get a list of all the tweaks I've made to my system over the years? (self.ubuntu)
 

Is it possible to get a list of all the various tweaks I've made to my system? Over the years I've probably installed and uninstalled a bunch of apps, tweaked and untweaked a bunch of configuration settings, ran a bunch of scripts that did god knows what to my system. To be fair, it's probably my fault for not writing them all down.

However can I somehow figure out how different my system is from a clean install? For example my system didn't come with any swap space so I added some. I remember doing that recently. However suppose I forgot that I did that (because it might have been a long time ago) how would I have rediscovered that and other changes I might have made to the system?

Thanks 👍.

What these institutions like the IMF don't understand is that countries aren't like households and we can just continue to borrow and increase our debt.... or something 😅
