Is the punchline “we’re all fucked”?

No human rights are violated by tar functioning the way it does, but changing it would cause a lot of problems without good reason since you could just as easily write an alias or wrapper to simplify the usage

Neither, but understanding that and the ubiquity of that tool might help understand why it can’t simply be changed

The problem is, tar isn’t a packing program, it’s a tape archive program that’s been repurposed for general files-to-file archival with optional compression plugins

At this point, if it were written today, it probably would behave as you suggest, but changing it now would break too many things that use it

No, we don’t actually need to get them to vote for us. Trump got about as many votes this time as he did in 2020. The problem is the people sitting it out.

While I’d like to see his followers see reason, the fact is they voted for him after everything he did as President and 8 years of constantly telling them who and what he is so the only conclusion that makes sense is they voted for him because that’s exactly what they want. There’s not much we can do to convince them to switch sides without turning ourselves into him.

What’s your point? Because more people voted for the fascist, we just have to take whatever he dishes out?

We already know his campaign promises and nobody other than his cultists buy his “don’t know anything about Project 2025” lie. Put it all on a cork board and throw a dart at it. Protest whatever you hit. There’s pretty much nothing there that isn’t worth organizing against.

Hell, why should he care if any of it is legal or not? Him being inaugurated after inciting an insurrection is a direct violation of the constitution. His entire second presidency will be illegal.

Pretty sure it’s from an AI… Count the fingers on the cop behind the one lunging
