Network effect. It’s been hard enough to get friends and family to move away from Whatsapp, it’s going to be a while till I get them away from telegram as well

Hitler’s original plan was to deport all the Jews. Extermination then came as a matter of practicability. Don’t let it fool you, this absolutely checks out, they’re laying the groundwork for genocide.

It’s about the certainty to have what you want, where you want it, reliably. I run NixOS with Impermanence, which means I reset my root partion on every boot, and have what state I need specifically opt-in. And I run a shared config over multiple devices (home PC and Laptop), so installing something on one also installs it on the other, next time I rebuild. It certainly takes time getting used to, but I’ve been really enjoying it so far

If there’s no due process, all of it is. Doesn’t matter if they’re citizens or not.

Both are good and effective

I want my terminal to just work, so all this kitty stuff is overboard for me, but good for them!

Oh I agree, I am happy with Helix and use it as my main editor already. I like that they’d rather take their time to figure out how to make plugins work well.

Uhhg, I’ve been waiting for module support for helix for forever, now. It’s a planned feature, but it’s been that way for ages now

Factorio puts game saves in ~/.factorio for some reason…

it’s pretty bad. steam for example has both
~/.steam and
~/.local/share/Steam
for some reason. I’m just happy I moved to an impermanent setup for my PC, so I don’t need to worry something I temporarily install is going to clutter my home directory with garbage

They got unbanned, but it eroded trust that it won’t happen again

Some contributer got flagged by US sanctions based on their IP, I think

Yes, that’s true, but more of an edge case. Something like gasoline is commonly priced in fractional cents, tho:

I have no strong preference either way. I think both are valid and sensible systems, and it’s only confusing because of competing standards. I think over long enough time, due to the internet, the period as the decimal separator will prevail, but it’s gonna happen normally, it’s not something we can force. Many young people I know already use it that way here in Germany

It makes sense from typographical standpoint, the comma is the larger symbol and thus harder to overlook, especially in small fonts or messy handwriting

No, 2,50€ is 2€ and 50ct, 2.50€ is wrong in this system. 2,500€ is also wrong (for currency, where you only care for two digits after the comma), 2.500€ is 2500€

It’s gambling. Highly complicated strategies exists, but at the end, it’s gambling. And somehow we’ve let ourselves get convinced that’s the way the world should be run

“defund the police!”

the monkey’s paw curls another finger

For longer missions it helps to be able to re-calibrate, as with dead-reckoning, the errors cumulate
