  • You misunderstand me. It's not about typing it. It's not conforming to prevalent Linux paradigms which creates artificial confusion and learning difficulties. There's a reason it's git pull and not git -L, perf annotate and not perf -A . It's a great semantic difference like <b> vs <h3>. I'm saying this as an Arch user.

  • Because it's not an option but a subcommand.

    as in standard option processing in GNU / Linux

    Guix and standard tooling like perf also use subcommands. I'm used to flags/options modifying the way the same inputs are processed, not completely changing what you give as $1.

  • That's good documentation, not good interface

    Edit: For example you could've had pacman sync -h instead

  • My problem is that it's a flag and not like # pacman remove

  • Personally I dislike pacman as it uses capital-letter flags as subcommands while I'm used to actual subcommands

  • I have a better argument here than they do that based on the number of comments here progressives only look for the facts they want to hear without reading the actual articles /j

  • the article does have this headline but doesn’t actually back it up (convincingly) at all. it seems to thinks googling ‘“shemale”, “tranny”, “femboy”, and “ladyboy”’’ counts as searching for trans porn. kelsey libert doesn’t seem to have any relevant qualifications either

  • very bad

  • https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-43010

    This issue is fixed in iOS 17.2 and iPadOS 17.2, macOS Sonoma 14.2, Safari 17.2, iOS 16.7.15 and iPadOS 16.7.15, iOS 15.8.7 and iPadOS 15.8.7.

    If the new version targets more devices I'd expect them to release similar updates.

    Edit: I'm not sure if that's the relevant DarkSword CVE but it is the one for the latest security update. https://www.malwarebytes.com/blog/mobile/2026/03/a-darksword-hangs-over-unpatched-iphones claims DarkSword only affects 18.4 through 18.7 (and of course 26.0 until 26.3), and https://www.pcmag.com/news/update-your-iphone-now-new-darksword-hack-targets-older-ios-18-versions claims it was patched in 18.7.6 (whose security disclosure has not been published).

  • I agree that it's their fault too. I'm saying that that (what to target to remedy the impacts) 's and the far more widespread and intense trauma (the impacts) is what people should be focusing on. Instead they're focusing on the more vanity points of the headline like Kirk pickleball, though I agree that said points are very amusing.

  • Yeah in hindsight I probably shouldn't have used "speculating about". But my point remains that these are eclipsed by the far bigger and similarly life-altering pain he is inflicting that isn't sexual abuse when you have this gargantuan monopoly putting them through torture, self-reinforcing groups that are the only life you'll ever know and shuns those who blow the whistle, and taking away their brain function through chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

    How Cheerleading Became So Acrobatic, Dangerous and Popular

    www.nytimes.com /2024/10/22/magazine/cheerleading-jeff-webb.html
  • archive.is has problems you can check its Wikipedia article for. They've removed said code now but the fact that they even added it as recently as last month is covering.

  • Your post links the 2024 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/22/magazine/cheerleading-jeff-webb.html?unlocked_article_code=1.VVA.cJzt.B1vLYzHL5868

    Jennings was a budding star, and at 13 she joined a competitive gym called Rockstar Cheer in Naples, Fla. She was the golden child of her coach, Carlos Realpe — even if he sometimes pushed her too hard. Like when he ran practices late into the evening on school nights. Or when Jennings pulled a hamstring and he threatened her position on the team unless she pounded ibuprofen and powered through the pain. Or when he screamed and threw shoes and water bottles. (Realpe denies throwing things; two other team members supported Jennings’s account.) Parents of other children complained about Realpe’s coaching style, but Jennings brushed it off.

    Her junior year, Jennings slammed into a teammate’s shoulder during a basket toss, snapping her head back and giving her yet another concussion — her seventh. Soon afterward, she got sick from an unrelated illness and became depressed. Baker sent her an email cutting her from the squad. She could have lost her scholarship, too, had the athletic director not intervened on her behalf.

    Two years ago, at 21, Jennings retired from cheerleading with a chronic hip injury, occasional slurred speech and intermittent headaches that she called “stingers.” She resolved to seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury. It was only when she was out of cheer entirely that she realized her difficult career in the sport was more than just a random string of bad luck. Jennings’s experience — of injury, grueling hours and emotional abuse — is not an uncommon one in the vast world of American cheerleading. “Every day I make more and more pieces click,” she said.

    Despite Varsity’s early opposition, 36 states and the District of Columbia now recognize cheer as a sport. It remains an outlier: None of the National Federation of State High School Associations’ other 17 member sports have this patchwork state-by-state designation, said Dr. Karissa Niehoff, the chief executive of the federation. Nor is there another sport where a for-profit company like Varsity is so intricately linked to its governance, she said. Varsity remains a corporate partner with the federation. “I find them to be a wonderful company to work with,” she said.

    Sports-medicine experts have routinely proposed making cheer a sport in the remaining states and at the college level, which would mean improved access to certified and qualified coaches, athletic trainers and medical care, limits on practice time, improved facilities and inclusion in injury-monitoring data.

    From 1980 to 2001, emergency-room visits for cheerleaders soared nearly 500 percent. Over that same period, competitive cheerleading was responsible for more catastrophic injuries to female athletes than all other high school and college sports combined, according to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research. And those statistics included “bases,” the girls at the bottom of the pyramid, who were at lower risk for head injuries. Restrict the data just to flyers, the girls being tossed in the air, and injury rates became “semi-suicidal,” according to Dr. Robert Cantu, medical director of the research center.

    “The flyer was the riskiest person in all of women’s sport,” he said recently. By some metrics, the risk of catastrophic head and spine injuries was higher in cheerleading than in football.

    At practice that year, as the team prepared for Varsity’s upcoming college nationals, Parks stood atop the pyramid, ready to execute a high front flip into the waiting arms of her squad. A teammate held onto her feet too long. “So instead of flipping, I just dove — like into a swimming pool with no water.” She landed on a two-inch-thick foam mat on top of concrete, breaking her neck in five places.

    When teammates visited her in the hospital, they found a stranger. Most of Parks’s hair had been shaved for surgery and the rest sat in an awkward mullet, with a huge scar running around the top of her head. She underwent three operations, had a permanent shunt placed in her spine to drain fluid from her brain and endured years of physical therapy.

    Later, litigation would allege that the new safety organization was independent in name only: Some U.S.A.S.F. staff were full-time Varsity employees who “volunteered their time”; Varsity bought its web address; and the two organizations shared office space.

    Goodness, this should really be the focus instead of Charlie Kirk, Pickleball, or speculating about sex offenses (on the last matter he's already transitioned cheerleading from a male-only sport for chrissakes). And that's just from the firstquarter half of the article.

  • so not only was this a crisis that didn't turn out to exist, it was also a crisis that didn't turn out to exist

  • that plus the gate attendant. but still, the passenger reactions could be explained by them only starting to pay attention when she started to cry (and not whatever before) and we don't really hear how the flight attendant appeared to exchange, so an unsure partial story

  • first person implies she uploaded the video herself
