it's crazy that the big link at the bottom is still there..

i'm also curious.. do you use clojure because of jvm? i want to learn some kinda lisp, but there are so many choices. why not just common lisp or the one with emacs.

it's the obvious comparison to make, and he's still critical of rust. i think he wishes he had it years earlier. his frustration with c++ has a mass.. that comes from a whole lot of energy spent.

youtube also has kitboga, pirogi, deeveeaar, etc which are very helpful. i introduced my mother, who has early dementia and can't do much, so watches a lot of netflix and youtube, to kitboga and she loved it and found other scambaiters. i'm stoked. i know she will tell a scammer to f off now.

i'm very impressed with her writing. she's got the skill!

rust is hardly mentioned.. javascript gets more attention. he seems to be an expert and i think it's hilarious.

one thing i miss about living in a city is being near a hare krishna restaurant or similar hindu place, like ones run by the sikh community. cheap, healthy and yum. some would offer free food to homeless or if you went to one at a temple it was pay-by-donation. sometimes the donation was just being there and singing the hare krishna song with them :D

i think microsoft really messed up. windows phone could have been huge. i thought they were going to be. i guess things like this didn't help. they really didn't play their cards right.

"By the way, there’s nothing nicer than unboxing a new laptop, seeing that whole Windows 11 activation ritual, just going “nope,” popping in a USB stick, wiping the whole thing, and installing Linux."

so true.. it's sweeter than wine.

i have a little site that collects articles to help keep up to date on all things quantum. you might be interested in it.. entangled.cloud

i installed Kristall to try this all out. Seems nice. Should I stick to it or is there a better client you'd recommend?

> that is besides the point.

i guess it's on both sides of the point.

Libre!

i think google is going to repeat history with gemini.. as in chatgpt, grok, etc will be like altavista, lycos, etc

i've just started learning Go and i really like this aspect. one way to do things, one way to format.. the % operator is a bit confusing for a negative number - that took me down a little rabbit-hole, learning about how a remainder can be different to how i normally think about it.

> Capital is always subordinate to the state

the international monetary fund has every state in debt. some third-world countries become subordinate to it, when they're not able to pay the interest payments.

it keeps people divided and against each other, rather than united against the rulers

i'm pretty rural, nothing local.. but have been looking at online services and comparing.. see how it goes :-)

i'd like to try making this but i don't have a 3d printer nor know someone who does. i have a feeling that if i find a service that does it, that it would cost as much for the 3d printing as for the raspberry pi itself

antiX would be interesting, getting them used to config files..

maybe a USB stick with a few distros on it, experimenting with installing them, including dual-booting.. a mix of distros spanning debian/redhat types, and kde/gnome types.. maybe a couple of live distros on their own USB stick.. having a virtual machine in the main install and learning about installing into them..

scratch and python..

ween means think/suppose/imagine

generally, it's more user-friendly and has more third-party stuff like codecs and drivers. i think it's also got more of a community to help with issues, whether googling or using the irc client that normally comes with a distro.

i'd like one with more extreme braces. a lot of the time, my old eyes find it hard to tell them apart from parentheses. i like OP's font but braces are looking like brackets now.

great! i especially appreciate being able to continue my game after restarting my computer. thank you :-)

one thing.. 'ween' is a word.

i can't help thinking the galaxy would be symmetrical with earths, like petals round a flower, being at the same stage of development as each other.

they missed out, i reckon. whereas the commodore and atari users had heaps of fun and then moved over to pc anyway.. they'd have more colorful memories.

i just fret about grandma using plain debian. my first thought is i want to give her puppy linux. it's probably fine if she lives in firefox though.

kubuntu, kde neon, or mx linux kde version (which is debian)

odysee is similar but maybe with more of an anarchist/conspiracy theory slant than rumble

i think a good ubuntu is a bit better than just debian for this. probably linux mint or kubuntu. for just debian, then mint debian edition or mx linux would be best, imo
