Even if one grants that it is a small minority, aren't they still voting for someone who advocates for jailing and killing political opponents?


>Even if one grants that it is a small minority

It is. What's more, such support is roughly the same across both parties, but both parties vastly overestimate the other side's support.

I consider January 6 to have falsified all research along these grounds. I acknowledge, sure, that virtually nobody wants to see gun battles in the street. But if you can talk yourself into believing that a mob sent to overturn the election and install the loser doesn't count as partisan violence, you can talk yourself into believing all kinds of catastrophes don't count.


>But if you can talk yourself into believing that a mob sent to overturn the election and install the loser doesn't count as partisan violence, you can talk yourself into believing all kinds of catastrophes don't count.

How's this different than say...

>polls show 99% (or whatever) of people are against crime

>voters elect a soft-on-crime politician, crime goes up

>"I consider the fact that the soft-on-crime politicians got elected to have falsified all research that people are against crime"


It's not different. If my city elected a mayor whose buddies committed a robbery 4 years ago, and his first act in office was to parole the robbers, I would be incandescently furious and definitely say that anyone who supports him is pro-crime.


> It is. What's more, such support is roughly the same across both parties, but both parties vastly overestimate the other side's support.

The difference between the two parties is that one elected a leader that agrees with that minority. This 2012 scene from The Newsroom outlines the difference:

The GOP let (?) the inmates run the asylum.


FOX News is workshopping/normalizing the murder of undesirables. Is FOX speaking to/for a small minority?

This response is funny to me, because there’s been a massive drop in rightwing violence in the US since Trump was elected… but that’s because state-sponsored violence isn’t counted towards the statistics.

Pretty funny how there aren’t any more Proud Boy marches, yeah? Couldn’t be that they’re all getting paid six figure salaries to round up brown people at Kavanaugh stops…

But yes. Most left wing thought leaders count state-sponsored violence as political violence, and that often includes the death penalty.

Yes, that's how protests typically work. If things are going your way, you stop protesting. Nobody is protesting for gay marriage in California because they already won.


I don’t want to assume your politics, but saying that the group of people calling for racial purity and ethnic cleansing don’t find it necessary to protest anymore because things are going their way is very much not a good sign.


Fucking wild. You can't get more mainstream opinion than this guy. Trump regularly has phone calls on air with this person, he's isn't a random someone on TV. He is one of the administrations goto mouthpieces for communicating this administration's policy on the largest news station. They are workshoping/normalizing MURDERING UNDESIRABLES on their MAINSTREAM MEDIA by hosts that the president ROUTINELY USE TO BROADCAST HIS MESSAGE. My point is THEY ARE OK WITH KILLING PEOPLE THEY DON'T WANT. A meak 'my bad' doesn't mean shit.

And you waive it away. 'Bro said my bad dude, what more do you want? You think he shouldn't be an administration mouthpiece just because he wants extra-judicial killing? Cancel culture'. You are literally Martin Niemöller:

"First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist" ...

He was literally you. He justified their calls for 'only killing Communists and only because they are bad and want to do bad things....' just like you.

Edit: oh you are just being disingenuous got it. I'm not burning another comment on you and getting throttled so here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=brian+kilmeade+...

Source? Maybe you should update his wikipedia page because it doesn't even mention his involvement with the second Trump administration.

I don't think this addresses the main point of my question, though. Do you know any prominent Democrats, e.g., representatives, senators, or presidents, who have called for a Republican to be killed?


Which republican called for a democrat to be killed?


> "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!!" Trump went on. "LOCK THEM UP???" He also called for the lawmakers' arrest and trial, adding in a separate post that it was "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH."

So more broadly, calling for any sort of capital punishment is also "political violence"? Even if you're against capital punishment, comparing it to something like Charlie Kirk getting shot is disingenuous. When people think of "political violence" they're thinking of the former, not capital punishment. Lumping the two together is like "do you support criminals? No? Why do you support Nelson Mandela, a convicted criminal?"


> calling for any sort of capital punishment is also "political violence"?

No, of course not, but I'm sure you knew that, hence constructing this straw man so you can knock it over and claim victory.

However, and more to the actual point, calling for capital punishment strictly because you disagree with the factual words someone chose to write might reasonably be considered "political violence". Especially when the words in question clearly call out your potential political intentions and remind people that said intentions can be battled in a particular way.


Trump appointed him. Do you put not blame on him for choosing "uniparty birds" and "shades of grifters"? Or do you live in his colon.


It seems like they learned a lot from the Letitia James and James Comey cases, which are going great (not in the way they intended).


Haven't read it since it is down, but based on other comments, it seems to be an issue with cleartext signatures.

I haven't seen those outside of old mailing list archives. Everyone uses detached signatures nowadays, e.g. PGP/MIME for emails.


If I understood their first demo correctly, they verified a fedora iso with a detached signature. The booted iso then printed "hello 39c3". https://streaming.media.ccc.de/39c3/relive/1854


It was a cleartext signature, not a detached signature.

Edit: even better. It was both. There is a signature type confusion attack going on here. I still didn't watch the entire thing, but it seems that unlike gpg, they do have to specify --cleartext explicitly for Sequoia, so there is no confusion going on that case.



That is because Apple took entire FreeBSD 'userspace' as part of Mac OS X.


FreeBSD 6.0 added 'env -S'. They have adopted a few different GNU inspired options recently, which I am happy about.


Yes, linking LLVM takes up a lot of memory. The documented guidance is to allow one link job per 15 GB of RAM [1].

[1] https://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html#frequently-used-llvm-relate...


And, fairly uniquely, LLVM has a LLVM_PARALLEL_LINK_JOBS setting that is distinct from the number of parallel jobs for everything else. I think I was using that 15 years ago.

I wish GCC had it. I have a quad core machine with 16 GB RAM that OOMs on building recent GCC -- 15 and HEAD for sure, can't remember whether 14 is affected. Enabling even 1 GB of swap makes it work. The culprit is four parallel link jobs needing ~4 GB each.

There are only four of them, so a -j8 build (e.g., with HT) is no worse.


Is that why the Rust toolchain can't be compiled on a 32-bit system?


It's part of the problem. Pretty sure though even rustc at this point needs more than 3GB of addressable memory.


A lot of the complexity is to handle localized date formats on systems that support them. Most other implementations of 'date' do not do this.

The easiest way to see this is in US locales, which use 12-hour clocks in GNU 'date' but not other implementations:

  $ date -d '13:00'
  Sat Nov  1 01:00:00 PM PDT 2025
  $ uu_date -d '13:00'
  Sat Nov  1 13:00:00 2025
I added a test case for that recently, since it is a nice usability feature [1].

2 GNU coreutils maintainers, including myself, monitor the issues and PRs on a GitHub mirror that we have [1]. Generally the mailing list is preferred though, since more people follow it.

[1] https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils


Minor correction, but that bug was never in any "official" coreutils release. The bug was in a multi-byte character patch that many distributions use (and still use). There have been other CVEs in that patch [1].

But the worst you can do is crash 'sort' with that. Note that uutils also has crashes. Here is one due to unbounded recursion:

  $ ./target/release/coreutils mkdir -p `python3 -c 'print("./" + "a/" * 32768)'`
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Not saying that both issues don't deserve fixing. But I wouldn't really panic over either of them.
