There is also sexual assult allegation from their previous employee madison:

I believe this investigation is primarily related to that allegation.

It is time to hold mother nature accountable!

At this point, I just stopped citing any article paywalled by elsevier, and only their arxiv counterpart.

If anyone ask, I will argue that I cannot obtain the version published by elsevier and have only read the arxiv version; hence citing the elsevier version would be disingenuous.

Unfortunately this is still the case in all the universities I know, especially in fine arts and humanity, many of the positions are even unfunded. Many students need to sublease their living room or live in a single bedroom in a house, with shared kitchen and bathroom.

I think many less-well-funded students literally cannot afford a studio or 1B, because the rent will be higher than their salary. Even for CS, math, and bio, the rent of a 1B will still be very close to their stipend.

For reference, I work in the department with the highest pay in my entire school, and my school is an extremely well-funded Tier 1 ~ Tier 2 school in the U.S. I make less than 2k8 after tax, and 1B at the outskirt of my city (40 mins walk to university) cost around 2k2 per month. Of course, an rat-free apartment will cost much more.

Even for these extremely well-funded departments in extremely well-funded schools, almost all of the PhD students are still paid under the living wage. See https://csstipendrankings.org/ .

To summarize: of the 60 schools listed,only 1/3 are paying their CS PhD students a living wage. Schools not paying a living wage include Havard, MIT, Stanford, Columbia, UChicago, and many more.

This is why you see so many grad worker strike in recent years.

You didn’t translate the first character “干”, originally means “do”, and like in English, eventually evolved to “fuck”, like in “do me”.

To make things even worse, 干 also means dry, when using a different tone. And 爆 is also a cooking technique, where they stir fry diced (or sliced) meat with very high heat to cook, resulting in a crispy and dry exterior and juicy inside.

A famous joke is that 干爆鸭子 (when written) can simultaneous mean the delicious “crispy diced duck”, or “fuck the duck until it explodes”.

If a new berry was invented, computer scientists will probably call them “βerries”, next one “ϐerries” (cursive beta)

Imagine licking the boots of any corporate like this LOL.

I don’t think most desktop OS has a consistent back button that the OS can hook into?

Oh no, this includes aids to Israel isn’t it…

Why the hell do Israel needs more money?! They are not even close to poor…

On the other hand, fragmentation makes software hard to support all of them. It seems like a dilemma.

Chinese government are turning a blind eye on companies, but not on individuals, this is the primary evidence of state-sponsored capitalism.

Right on the front page of 996.icu, Chinese government are willing to prosecute a individual for the use of VPN for work, and confiscated all their income for the duration of their use of VPN (3 years, 1058k rmb, roughly 146k USD, which is more than most people’s life savings), with some additional fine.

Imaging if CCP seek to bankrupt every single company that disobey the law in the same manner, then 996 would never ever exists.

Maybe you can educate me on this, is there any prosecution that fine a company the entirety of its revenue during the 996 policy period?

Is it possible to share your source on “Every instance of someone taking a company to court over 996 has resulted in them winning.”?

I was hoping tankies won’t have a conspiracy theory about one of the most tragic event of human kind, but I guess I overestimated humanity.

These were well-educated, progressive, and ambitious students, passionated about a brighter future for China. They share the same vision and drive as the founding members of CCP. And they are more passionate about communism than all the tankies I have seen, and willing to sacrifice their life for their admirable goals.

Their requirements has always been simple and clear: build a progressive democratic government in Hu Yaobang’s vision, and purge the conservatives like Li Peng from CCP, which is founded upon a progressive vision of China. Thus, they are needlessly and brutally murdered by conservatives who seek to stabilize their own power.

If you work for the CCP, I doubt I will be able to project any sense into your brain. I can only hope these word might be helpful for readers of your comments to gain some context.

It is definitely protest. But they choose these outfit to protest because they are comfortable, as oppose to vampires costume, which would also violate the dress code.

This is related to what OP is saying. These outfit already exists because of toxic work culture, they are taking it to the extreme.

Another woman said the best part of wearing her fluffy sweater to work is that she can head straight to bed once she gets home.

“It’s so convenient for both work and home. I have essentially reached a state where the office and my home have become one,” she said.

It is not protest for the sake of protest, but mostly “convenience”.

The safest way to install update is via offline updates, which don’t need sudo on the user side, but requires a restart. See https://fedoramagazine.org/offline-updates-and-fedora-35/ for a good explanation.

I believe offline upgrade is also the default on every OS out there, for example gnome software only installs updates offline.

Even if you have to use sudo to upgrade (or journalctl, dmesg, both are sysadmin tasks and not typically done by a normal user), you are still only giving root privileges to these trusted programs distributed by your distro, not some random installers on the internet, unless you are using AUR.

I am genuinely curious what other commands with sudo that you need to run on a daily bases, for tasks that is unrelated to system administration?

Wait, do straight men not fantasize about being tied up by Chris Evans and vigorously f**ked from behind, with his sexy ass exposed? Or am I a little bit gay?

You don’t need to use sudo command that much on linux. I personally only need to use it to edit two config files when setting up my system, that is it.

One for pre-connection mac randomization, one to enable a kernel module I need, because my distro disable many of them by default. I am very conscious of the changes I am making. However on Windows, I have no idea what the app installers are doing.

Not to mention, most users don’t even need to make these changes. Per-network randomization is likely good enough for most user, and they probably not on a security-hardened distro which disables tons of kernel modules.

For a office work and entertainments, flatpak apps are more than enough. And developers can choose to get their sdk via flatpak or podman dev containers. None of them requires sudo.

Is there a good reason for a everyday user (not a tinker nor a system admin) to use sudo in linux?
