  • Trump will go along with whatever Israel wants to do. If Hamas was in power, I can all but guarantee they would be doing the same shit, if not worse.

    ETA: I’m not advocating for what is going. I’m just rather pissed that so many people keep doing the counterproductive thing of using this as a reason to vote trump or sit this out. Considering that Trump is worse in this regard and with global warming, humanities only chance is to ramp up efforts like the US is a lost cause, because for the next 2 years at least, we are.

















  • So much to unpack here.

    GNU is not a Linux variant. It is a set of programs and shared libraries.

    ISO 9660 has nothing to do with compression. Just calling it ISO isn’t a good idea for an intro class like that because it is a set of MANY standards. They should have put a little side blurb and called it ISO 9660 in the table.

    tar is an archive tool. It has no compression.

    Why no mention of compression algorithms algorithms vs archive tools?

    Why not have different compression algorithms and their tradeoffs?

    ETA: jar files are just zip files for Java libs/programs. You can open them with zip file tools.
