In Switzerland, we call staplers Bostitch, which happens to be the name of an US company that (used to or still does) manufacture them.

I really have to finally take a look at Erlang, it's been on my list for years

I always found the sound of 90s computers very cozy and soothing in a way.

The flooding and naval battles were done in a time before the colosseum had tunnels underneath iirc. After these were dug, no more naval battles.

That mattered because we fed the animals their remains.

Because prion disease is close to irrelevant, as long as you don't feed the brains back to the animal it's from.

I just wanted to let you know I've read your entire comment, and thank you for writing it.

LOL since when is Australia seen as "high-trust, harmonious adult society"? It is very USA-like in many ways. And the nordics are hardly any different to anywhere else in Europe in that regard.

Why use git gui when you can use magit

Advanced food storage and agriculture tech originated not in Europe, though, but in the great flood plains - Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, Amazonia. On that note, it is by the way theorized that the necessity to coordinate farming with the flo

Just as bad, and then some. The big ones used to only have B2B power with vendor lock-in. The new ones have much more. They have power over their individual users, too, by locking in their data and controlling the communication and sharing

Apple, Google, Amazon are every bit as bad, and Microsoft is still up there, too.

It simply does not matter, because all DEs are on Wayland now, everything supports it, and honestly, I haven't seen an application not supporting Wayland for quite some time. Even Chrome is Wayland-native now.

It is that way everywhere. Bonus points if you claim it is because terrorism or pedophiles.

Oh it is already happening. There is an enormous amount of innovation, and "clean tech" is getting more efficient and less expensive by the day. You just barely hear about it because it gets muffled by all the screaming of a handf

LLMs won't help them any more than "normal" dating/socializing advice did and does - which is not much. In the end, you just gotta socialize, and practise that. Advice is just merely a small nudge, has to be very persona

Of course it is illegal in many countries to download pirated movies. And the USA put a lot of pressure on countries where it isn't illegal - I know that well enough, in my country it was and is legal.

Guix does it right, and Sourcehut as well. No accounts or captchas, just mail in the patches.

Those mentioned platforms are big enough that it is not a free market anymore. Guess why the EU is going after them one-by-one.

All BSDs really, and I also want to mention GNU projects, they enforce this well, too. I made contributions to org-mode, and they made it clear that they won't accept a line of code without accompanying tests and, if applicable, handbo

Oh yes, and for languages where that is not directly possible, there are still ways - I implemented libraries for Chicken Scheme in org-mode with org-babel; the examples are simultaneously tests, runnable directly from within the org file,

Or org-mode format. Then you even get tables properly.

That is an interesting one. "The internet doesn't forget", they say, but all the bs and mudslinging around that got basically purged from the internet. It's impressive sometimes.

For the record: you are in all seriousness claiming that it is racist to not judge people by their skin color. Wow. That really is an impressive amount of mental gymnastics.
146.
by zilti 3y ago
"Don't judge people by their skin colour or superficial birth characteristics" is what now? Racist and sexist? Good grief. I am so done.
147.
by zilti 3y ago
I don't see anything dishonest and mocking in calling out racism and sexism. At most, the comment is a bit condescending.

The list of things that supposedly are required for "diversity & inclusion" gets more ridiculous by the day

Is it that bad now here, too?

Thank you, spot-on.
