Accurate except for the “instead” part. Road maintenance comes from local taxes, whereas military aid comes from federal taxes.

When you’re listening on a shitty bluetooth speaker or earbuds it really doesn’t matter.
As someone who has designed and used telemetry systems, I’ll never quite understand the strong aversion some people have to them. Telemetry is what lets me tell my boss “yes people really do use our software this way and we can’t break it” or “90% of crashes happen right after the player uses a grenade”. And despite what some conspiracy theorists would have you believe, telemetry data for software from reputable companies does not get sold or used for marketing purposes. Our lawyers make sure of it, and also make us go through privacy reviews to make sure that data isn’t leaking PII.
Although it’s true you’re going about 30mph when you hit the ground from that height, it’s much more harmful because of the continued acceleration due to gravity. An equivalent scenario would be hitting a brick wall at 30mph which then immediately begins accelerating into you at 9.8 m/s^2.
Yeah but the main issue is that I don’t want there to be a Downloads
directory in my home.
Even worse, many components will ignore the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR
var so even if you manually change it to $HOME/downloads
(lower-case) it will often break things.
I find it ironic that Linus’s explanation for
ENOENT
being invalid for an ioctl given its meaning of “No such file or directory”, while simultaneously ioctl can returnENOTTY
when using a mismatched device fd despite the error meaning “Not a typewriter.”
