It’s not practical at scale — any employee working for a cabinet department (and probably more than that, what do I know) takes the oath. If they violate it later it’s easier to store a PDF in the personnel file to provide evidence they agreed to it in the first place.

Yes, although it’s generally more of a signed piece of paper or PDF thing than a saying-out-loud-in-front-of-people thing.

…well I’m definitely turning that on for my Linux machine then. Thanks for the tip.

I think this is something macOS does best — using shift+option hyphen is a bit quicker than alt+0151.

Odd, I see them used all the time, and I’m neither. So I guess either my experience is an outlier, everyone I talk to is secretly an LLM, or maybe the meme is pushing an easy conclusion because people in general are bad at picking up on LLM responses and want an easy punctuation mark so they don’t have to think.

They’re pretty trivial to make in any OS — having a dedicated key isn’t necessary.

Weirdly it usually turns hyphens into en dashes instead of em dashes from what I’ve seen, which makes no sense at all.

This is how he responds to everything, including but not limited to librarians, airport security, and answers to questions he has asked someone directly.

The only setting on his conversational style is angry old white man.

A big-budget offshore wind project that would clean up a contaminated California port and turn it into America’s first hub for floating wind turbines is the latest target of an increasingly emboldened national anti-offshore wind movement.

So…if I’m reading this right, they’re against taking a contaminated site and putting something useful and clean in it instead. I do not get the upside of this argument.

I thought that was just the job we give people who are trying their best but can’t really anything.

Thank you for this link; it has made my day immeasurably more entertaining.

Eh, I’d allow it; it’s tangentially related and a complaint about capitalism. Win-win.

I mean sure, if you just want to skip Bearshare

[email protected] is probably the largest, but there’s also [email protected].

I’m not the greatest source of tech support, and I haven’t tried this for awhile, but have you tried booting into recovery mode (cmd+r on restart) and then using Terminal to disable csrutil?

If that works, you should be able to do a normal restart and have the ability to move the Siri application to trash.

It had to grow on me, kinda like a fungus. I didn’t like it the first time. For some reason I was convinced to watch it twice more. Now it’s solidly alright for me.

[email protected] exists, think this made it there too.

This information is at the ready — for the people who actually need to know it (i.e., the actual chain of command, not self-appointed billionaires of made up departments).

They don’t plan to fill them. They plan to eliminate the position of anyone who takes this option.

Oh geez. I’m so used to reading sexual trauma records from the DoD that I just assume immediately. Sorry about that, my bad entirely.

In-service death tends to be an almost automatic grant of service connected death benefits, likely only burial in this case. DoD failed this person. That doesn’t mean that the VA will.

Edit: I managed to read the article and still get the country wrong.
