An intranet is a local and private computer network.

The internet is a network of intranets, or more accurately, a network by which computers of disparate networks can connect.

Intra, meaning inside or within. Inter, meaning between or among.

Interdepartmental communication would be communication between departments, while intradepartmental communication would be within a single department.

The inter vs intra is the difference here.

We had two choices.

Ideological purity tests played their role in one of them getting elected, and it sure as shit wasn't the better option.

So now I'm spending another day coordinating with a friend to figure out how to get her out of the country because the transfer option didnt work out, and there is less than a year before she'd need to renew.

But hey, purity tests more important amirite?

I'm not saying she should be absolved of any and all wrongdoing. But acting like its the crime of the fucking century is ridiculous, and frankly abhorrent behavior. Its this type of crap that got us into this mess.

Every single far right pos will take every little gain they can. And then we have the left - and honestly, while I'm more into the stateless approach, I really wouldn't care if we went to democratic socialism, some form of communism, whatever - where if there is one thing, no matter how accurate and right it is to be against it, it becomes the only thing that matters, despite the other option being a walking atrocity kaiju version of the same thing.

False binary? It was literally the election we just had. You don't even need to leave Lemmy to see the constant doom and gloom around the very idea of Harris winning.

Knowing what she did and accepting that she was still a better option by the largest possible margin, and supporting her, that would have allowed for an opportunity.

But now thats gone. Further and further every single day. And at every opportunity, no matter what she says, there are people who will complain about it - see the very first comment I'm this thread.

I can accept that she did things that were wrong, and still recognize that without her, the DOC may never have changed their policies. I can recognize that someone else would have been put to the same task.

So instead we get Trump, and some people are labeled terrorists simply by existing as the person they really are.

Yes, I'm fucking salty about it. And I will continue to be every time someone decides to prop up their ideological purity over making things actually better.

Clearly getting Trump the win made everything better rather than having her in office!

Let us all rejoice that we didnt end up with the woman who filed paperwork and argued against a policy, getting it changed, didnt make it into the office of the presidency.

A clear win. 100%.

but what I am saying is that what you call "left" is just a different flavor of hard right

Do not put words in my mouth.

I said "further left". Democrats are right of center, and still across the ocean from the far right that is the Trump admin.

Nothing will improve so long as you stay trapped, and encourage others to remain trapped, within that false dichotomy.

LOL.

Without RCV or other methods aside from FPTP, there are only two options in an election. Ignoring that is just a fools errand.

Remember this when you vote for Democratic nominee Liz Cheney in 2028.

Who would still be further left from trump. And given two options, yeah, she'd get the damn vote from me.

Your little protest vote or non-vote is just saying "Trump/Trump-a-like is totally fine by me".

And then you end up with transgendered persons being considered terrorist cells.

But hey, at least it wasn't a woman who once had a job where she had to file paperwork on behalf of another organization she had no control over but convinced to change their policy!

Gotta be kidding me with this shit. Unbelievable.

The intent behind ladybird is to not use existing renderers, so brand new everything from scratch.

Originally it was the browser/HTML viewer for SerenityOS and it got split off.

Things I like:

• Not chromium, no code from any other browser
• No monetization
• Sponsorships are shown on the website and social media, not the browser

What I don't like:

• Github (main repo)
• Discord (main community hub)
• Xitter (main social media updates)

Targeted alpha is 2026.

Get Kimmel back and customers will stop leaking away.

Thats the plan for sure. They've lost ground, they won't recover all the subscribers lost, but they are trying to stop the absolute hemorrhaging they were seeing.

Contact your ISP and let them know you aren't interested in a Disney+ subscription and why. Mention any competing ISP in your area has whatever other streaming service, and its tempting because its not Disney+.

And specifically a political one in support of fascism

About 1% down over the past day, up over 20% for the year.

Only ones getting rich off of this are those who shorted and those with enough money to make gains off small changes. So about business as usual tbh.

Back then, an internet (lower case "i") was a small internal network of computers that communicated with each other.

That is an intranet, not internet, and is still applicable as a term. You just hear people say LAN more these days.

"World Wide Web" turned out to be a mouthful to say, so we replaced it with "the Internet" instead. Although most websites still start with "www" to represent their global reach.

The world wide web was always just one part of the internet, specifically the portion supported by http. Ftp, email, etc existed then as well, but was not part of the www.

fights with corporate partners and regulators have drastic long term impact.

Sinclair was going to do what Sinclair was going to do regardless:

I'll pull one key part of that article:

Nexstar, it should be noted, has a $6 billion-plus deal pending before the FCC to acquire Tegna, an agreement that would make it by far the largest owner of local TV stations in the country. Sinclair has also expressed a desire to pursue M&A, which would also require FCC approval

So the only fight Disney would have is with the FCC chair and an act so blatantly in violation of the constitution republicans commented on it, or immediate damage to the brand.

EDIT: I want to be clear here... You are talking as if "people get pissed but we bring it back a week later and then everyone moves on" wasn't the best possible outcome for them given the circumstances. I think it was, and that was calculated.

Everyone has not moved on though.

People canceled subscriptions, many have been commenting they aren't going back.

You are assuming it was calculated, but from early reports a lot of the executive suite was angry about the quick decision that was made, and how it would be damaging to Disney long term.

This is all hypotheticals now, so I'm not going to do some back and forth on guesswork. But to suggest that it was an issue of fiduciary duty - no, that was not the only choice based on financial impact. The brand is damaged. Subscriptions were on a rise and went into a freefall. Resorts saw a massive amount of cancelations, which will severely impact park revenue as well.

I stand by what I said - that was a severe misunderstanding or misstatement regarding fiduciary duties.

For my lab its testing ideas. More often than not, it involved hardware outside the server. Cloud hosted is not an option for that, or playing with a variety of distributions, testing applications, etc.
