Five, if you count the log module. I hope t-strings will come there soon.

log.error("foo happend %s", reason)

More accurate conclusion is that the upper limit for efficient working hours is far less than the standard 40. This underlines how ridiculous the people who claim to work for even more than that already too high amount.

I'm also one of the people who have tried Nix(OS) a couple of times and found it too much of a hassle, but nightmare is exaggerating a bit, I feel.

Nix's strength and weakness is that it wants to take over everything, and if you want to do something without it, you might be in a world of pain. And after doing more or less standard unixy things for 20+ years, it's difficult to hand over control to a new thing like that.

Perhaps China should get Taiwan. Seems like a much better option than remaining allies with USA.

Seemed like an interesting concept, but these days I'd much rather just buy a chinese higher quality laptop, like Lenovo. Being an american company is a huge minus right now.

I need my phone to write and read Signal / Matrix messages and to use MFA. Unfortunately, dumb phones are generally too dumb for these requirements.

Perhaps an iq100 phone? Punkt is kinda close.

Communicate? With whom? Why?

Stop gatekeeping.

Is it possible to calculate how much wealth they are saving by not having to create a profit and other kinds of free market deficiencies?

I can recommend Sam Harris's meditation app. His practice is groundes on tradition but without any of the mystics.

You should strive for regularity. Twice every day. Don't skip without a hreat reason, and when you do skip, immediately forget that you did and keep going.

As an architect, I fix bugs and do other kinds of maintenance. I don't ask for permission. It's a part of the job.

If you are in a team where the management doesn't allow you to fix bugs, it is your responsibility to lie to your management and fix them anyway.

Fearing a loss of employment is of course a valid reason to let a product rot, but that doesn't completely free you from this responsibility.

Being an idiot in Twitter has never meant anything. That's the crux here, really: Musk has proven quite recently that his Twitter persona reflected his actual being.

People accusing me and others of "you understand this only now?" are full of shit. You didn't know, just like me. Holier than thou is distasteful.

He did deliver on several fronts for a long time and seemed like a serious person. But people can change, and not always for the better.

But yeah, like Sam Harris says now, perhaps I didn't know the real Musk.

I would have been skeptical of news like this in the past, but the last 6 months have shown that Elon Musk doesn't give a fuck about human tragedy. Or truth.

This right here, despite the obvious brigading done to it, is the correct answer.

Another good reason to read via an rss feed.

Your last paragraph is evidence how nobody in the smartphone sector, including Huawei, has innovated in the last 6 years.

How are you doing MFA, or don't you need it?

Everything vaguely anti-Trump/Putin gets flagged here now.

Does the flagging hide it from any feeds, though?

What are you referring to? Pointing out ways one's language is better is not necessarily arrogance. It's just communication.

>The golden prize for America's enemies is to remove the US dollar as a global reserve currency.

At this point, who is *not* America's enemy?

That's not the problem. The US now effectively has a system where you don't prosecute presidents for any crime. You should note that the ongoing criminal investigations against Trump were mostly cancelled when it became obvious that he'll be the next president.

If this system had been in place when Nixon did his crimes, he would've just shrugged and kept going.

You are indeed not Europe now, not even close. Well, except for Hungary and Belarus.

That's easy. It's false dichotomy.

Moot point as someone like Trump ignores existing tools and just makes his own.

Also, Trump could have been stopped by the processes in place in USA, they just were not properly used. There were several cases open against him, they just failed to do what they were supposed to.

Why wouldn't they just ban her for life? And why not include the whole party in the ban? She certainly did not act alone.

> Last I checked Rosie O'Donnell is only one stupid enough to imply that the latest presidential election was not completely above tye board.

The MAGA cult was complaining about it until it became obvious they did not lose the elections.

We all know that American democracy is a sad broken joke, but this piece of news is about France, which seems to have a functioning one.

Nobody is prevented from voting by this sentence.

You seem to deliberately ignore how easily people are manipulated. Just rulers have a responsibility to defend against that.

The marketplace of ideas as a primary political decision method was a dumb idea.

Trump should have been the target of defensive democracy, not the abuser of it. At least if US would have had a working version of the concept.

So your question seems to evade the point.

I think "woke" has kinda gone out of fashion this year. When actual fascists remove their masks and start grabbing for power, it becomes blindingly obvious that the "woke people" were absolutely correct about pretty much everything. Even if their tactics and methods were a bit bad at times.

Hopefully I'm not the only centrist who woke up to this.
