I think it’s not even intentional, or not as much as claimed, but a consequence of the algorithmic bubble .

For example on Meta platforms I only get pro-palestinian content, I still haven’t seen an explicitly pro-israeli publication. But many people complain about pro-palestinian ban, so it leads me to a conclusion that it’s something else.

Cursor is not really anything that I feel a need to customize. It’s a pointer that changes shape according to context, and the default implementations usually do it at least decently.

TIL Winamp was still active as a project

Mine got better as I got older. Especially after some experiments with psychedelics. I didn’t think I was able to imagine a 3D object in detail, and for most of my life I wasn’t. But then I had a shroom trip in which I was able to freely rotate an imagined 3D object. Even render an object in my mind based solely on touch.
Afterwards I went back almost to normal, but not completely. It’s like I learned to use some previously inactive part of the brain.

Feeling empathy for a person who was an asshole. Crying because of the misfortune that led them to behaving like that, all the while completely disapproving and ready to fight against it. Mdma is wild

Nuts. Many kinds of nuts - peanuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews… Various mixes, sometimes with dried fruits, then there’s the spiced and coated varieties

All the time. Depending on the app and device, my spell checker might be set to American English, British English or Spanish. And I never check which before I start writing.

One quirk of not being a native speaker of English is that I don’t really have a default spelling - colour or color, it depends on what the spellchecker says

Alpine for example uses musl, and Gentoo offers it as an option.
I don’t completely understand the benefits, my own programming experience is several layers away from inner workings of an OS, but at least some distros claim there is space for improvement.

The role of a distribution is to curate packages - select the right combination of versions and verify if it works together. Providing package repositories is also a big one, imagine if you had to compile everything on your machine yourself on every update (khm gentoo khm).

Other than that there isn’t really a lot of space for innovation. After you have a kernel, some base packages, package manager, and maybe a DE, you can install everything else yourself.
The main point of differentiation these days in on the package management side - do you want a rolling release, or a more conservative approach.

There is one point of innovation left, but it highly technical and somewhat risky for everyday users - libc alternatives. The C standard library is one of the few core packages in a distro that can’t really be replaced by the user.

He really is/was smart about some things - marketing and self-promotion. He started with millions and ended up with hundreds of billions, all thanks to his marketing skills, and knowing how to be in the right place at the right time.
Being good at one thing doesn’t automatically mean he’s good at other things - like running a company, or being an engineer as he likes to imagine himself.

I think allowed shipping destinations are defined product by product. At least in the opposite direction it’s true, when I look at the US Amazon, some products are available for shipping to EU, some are not.

I think Meta is doing a decent job with Instagram. I mean except for collecting all possible data and psychological profiling of users to serve them targeted ads, it’s a decent enough platform. And the only one still allowing for engagement with your actual friends rather than exclusively professional content creators.

cause we dumb, lol

Technically I’ve been on a couple of dates because friends convinced me that I have to try. I got panic attacks. It felt that I have to perform well to show others that I can do dating, but at the same time I didn’t really want to be there.

There is no tile server running; only nginx serving a Btrfs image with 300 million hard-linked files.

Wow. Btrfs ftw

I’m sure it will be tough for the mother in question, raising a child is not easy especially alone. But for many people who want children, it gives them a chance to achieve a huge goal in life. From the societal side, if the average birth rate is way below 2 per woman, the practice should be encouraged for purely practical reasons

• Cultural influence: music, cinema, social movements of the 1960s and 70s
• Beautiful nature
• Agility in business environments (although I might have a limited sample)
• not without criticism but I think NATO is generally a positive thing
• Food (no not junk food, there’s several fascinating regional cuisines)

I think it’s finally time to restore the Mandate of Palestine:

• Israelis get to live there but not their own special state
• Palestinians get to live there but not their own special state
• Everybody gets to hate the British, as is tradition
• Brits finally get a colony back, it’ll lift their mood after the brexit disaster

And then it gives you the most generic answer how to run a docker build, that doesn’t actually address the problem

I don’t think I could ever have a crush on someone without meeting them in person.

Interesting or attractive I guess it’s possible, but having a crush requires direct interaction in physical reality
