| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I don't think anyone had a problem with a woman leading a non-profit organization like this. | Apr 15 05:10 |
| IsambardPrince | The problem was that they picked some hippy dippy woman with no qualifications. | Apr 15 05:11 |
| IsambardPrince | And then said that anyone who complained was sexist. | Apr 15 05:11 |
| IsambardPrince | The lack of any biological women in software, to speak of anyway, is a problem with the culture. | Apr 15 05:12 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a form of toxicity. | Apr 15 05:12 |
| IsambardPrince | And then when you have programs like outreachy which invite in a bunch of interns who are crazy people, it just makes the barriers for biological women to enter even higher because they don't want to be around someone who is 6 feet tall and having their hormones messed with. | Apr 15 05:12 |
| IsambardPrince | I almost got wiped out on the freeway the other day by a trans woman in an SUV. | Apr 15 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | No turn signal, just weaves into my lane and then back out like nothing happened. | Apr 15 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Sent me out of control at 80 miles an hour. | Apr 15 05:13 |
| IsambardPrince | After I regained control of the car, I sped up got in front, and flipped him off. | Apr 15 05:14 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR: FreeDOS actually introduced a DOS incompatibility bug by accident. | Apr 15 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | They managed to do everything DOS could do at startup in less memory, so it left like 50-some KiB free that would have been impossible under MS-DOS. | Apr 15 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Some programs just assumed the lowest memory location they could possibly be loaded in was the same as it was under MS-DOS. | Apr 15 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | So FreeDOS fixed that with padding, so it wastes some conventional memory, a sizeable chunk by DOS standards, that nothing can use, so they'd be compatible with MS-DOS again. | Apr 15 23:00 |

| MinceR | i think i've heard about this before | Apr 15 23:00 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-newrepublic.com | Hungaryβs New Leader Reveals Viktor OrbΓ‘n Was Paying CPAC | The New Republic | Apr 15 23:48 | |
| MinceR | what a surprise | Apr 15 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | Apparently, Orban was diverting Hungarian taxpayer money to pay the American "CPAC". | Apr 15 23:49 |
| MinceR | he was diverting hungarian taxpayer money to lots of inappropriate places | Apr 15 23:49 |
| MinceR | and still is | Apr 15 23:49 |
| IsambardPrince | "The Trump administration fervently advocated for OrbΓ‘n in the run-up to the election. Vice President JD Vance and State Secretary Marco Rubio both traveled to Budapest to campaign for him, while Donald Trump repeatedly praised the authoritarian, far-right politician. All three American politicians endorsed OrbΓ‘n, as did CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp. | Apr 15 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Under OrbΓ‘nβs 16-year rule, Hungary became an βilliberal stateβ with feigned elections. OrbΓ‘n dismantled democratic checks and balances, silenced and controlled the news media, and weakened the countryβs judiciary system." | Apr 15 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | ---- | Apr 15 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I wonder if there's any hope of "reforms" to strengthen the judiciary and promote fair elections. | Apr 15 23:50 |
| MinceR | there's hope | Apr 15 23:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Or if the new goovernment will just fiind all of this very useful and keep it. | Apr 15 23:50 |
| MinceR | but whether it will actually happen, who knows... | Apr 15 23:50 |
| MinceR | i suppose joining the EPPO will strengthen the judiciary, and they promised to do that | Apr 15 23:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Government is at the highest danger to the citizens when one branch becomes too powerful. | Apr 15 23:51 |
