Kinda hard to encode it in /etc/passwd, which separates entries with newlines and fields of an entry with colons.

Of course, you can activate some alternative user database in /etc/nsswitch.conf and then you can have your usernames with newlines in them, but at least half of the tools on your system that process usernames will take that personally…

ps outputs a newline after every entry. What are you trying to accomplish?

Do you have a username that contains a newline character? If so… why?!

Picard: In my defence, I was singing Live Forever.

He prevented WW3, fulfilling his traditionally masculine role as protector in a way many of us can only dream of. It sucks if that isn’t validation enough of his masculinity for him…

Any statewide legislation is sure to hit significant headwinds, because the very idea of regulation runs contrary to many Texans’ political beliefs. “As constitutional conservatives, they have taken our core values and used that against us,” says Demetra Conrad, a city council member in the nearby town of Glen Rose.

Maybe your core values are really stupid…

Another Technical Mistake

At first I read “tasted”…

Given that Mac keybindings for “common special functions” (Open/Save/Cut/Copy/Paste/Find/etc.) use Command instead of Ctrl, leaving Ctrl effectively unused unless in combination with Command, this argument doesn’t hold much water.

Sure, some Emacs fan at Apple decided to add Emacs shortcuts to Cocoa controls, but that was a pretty arbitrary decision since people coming from Mac OS 9 didn’t use the Ctrl key, well, ever.

Long ago, the four chnations lived together in charmony. Then, everything anged when the Chfire Chnation attacked.

Fucking chmagnets, how do they chwork?

The stock image says “RAMSOMWARE” with an M instead of the N…

Has Disney announced a live-action BoJack Horseman remake?

I’m not saying they aren’t allowed to show ads, but I am saying that once they do, they are no longer allowed to refer to themselves as independent.

No company that wants to advertise on your website is stupid enough to sign away editorial control, i.e. once you agree to display their ads, you are no longer allowed to say anything bad about them. And even if they did, there’s still the looming risk that if you do, they are well within their rights to pull their ads and there goes your income.

If you’re going to show ads, be honest to your readers about what that means.

Great choice of website:

Independent journalism is made possible by advertising.

That is the polar opposite of the truth.

Doesn’t having admin privileges mean you can load any driver into the kernel anyway, including blatantly malicious drivers?

The right to privacy is mostly discussed as the right to live your life without being spied upon by corporations or the government, but it actually goes further: it is the right to make “design decisions” about the most private aspects of your life without the government being able to interfere. The court decided that the law banning abortion impacted some of these most private aspects.

I mean, yeah. The warp core is generally jettisoned as a last resort, and if the ship has taken a severe beating, the relevant tubes and conduits might be bent out of shape, making it harder to get it out.
