A secret service that protects its own people instead of taking every opportunity to spy on them. remarkable.

Couple of years back i stumbled over this video, which i as a german think is absolutely fucked up: https://youtu.be/DjX7zoFrd7g?si=6BtMIxqTxtdAYHvi

Quote from the Wiki about the “Young Marines”

The creed that every Young Marine lives by is:

• Obey my parents and all others in charge of me whether young or old.
• Keep myself neat at all times without other people telling me to.
• Keep myself clean in mind by attending the church of my faith.
• Keep my mind alert to learn in school, at home, or at play.
• Remember that having self-discipline will enable me to control my body and mind in case of an emergency.

Its absolute insane what they do to this kids: https://www.instagram.com/means_tv/reel/C7T93trOtg3/

I just want to add that the HAARP conspiracy theories are way older. i read about it mid of the 90s. Already back then it was a weather control machine / earthquake generator / mind control device / magnetic pole flipper.

How the fuck is it not extremely illegal to tell (or even force) someone to work when there is an official evacuation order?

Fully agree. I have been able to collect some signatures among my friends and relatives (in Germany). Unfortunately, I don’t know how I could help in other countries / languages. At most with upvotes of the relevant posts and in general spread the word.

And I have just noticed that the initiative’s website (https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/) with all the important information is only available in 6 languages. Polish is not included. That could be a reason. Things like this are an oversight we need to address (next time…).

I don’t get whats going on with e.g. Poland. Like literally I don’t understand it. Under 5%. Is this a cultural thing? Or was it simply not promoted enough?

Meanwhile france close to 200 freaking percent. Germany 150.

It’s completely incomprehensible to me how something like this can’t be massively successful. We should already have three times the necessary votes by now

everyone who donated $1,000 or more, we give an original piece of a downed russian strike aviation

made in russia and recyled in Ukraine

I fucking love those guys

How does someone deserve to be paid for work done? Is that your question?

Is this some kind of pathetic troll attempt?

I will not reward that with further attention.

You are aware that there are full-time developers working at Mozilla, yes? Developing a browser is not a hobby-project that you can pull off with some volunteers in their free time. You need professionals that work on such a giant project with their full attention.

Developing Firefox is their job. And of course they want to get paid for that (and deserve it). Just like you get paid for your actual job.

Do you think developers don’t have to eat? or pay rent? And donations alone do not cut it.

I just quit my 270 000$ job at Coinbase to join the first YCombinator fall batch with my cofounder @not_nang. We’re building PearAI, an open source AI code editor.

Of course it is a cryptobro…

dawgt i chatgpt’d the license, anyone is free to use our app for free for whatever they want. if there’s a problem with the license just lmk i’ll change it. we busy building rn can’t be bothered with legal

Yep, already hate that guy. Talks and behaves like an absolute dipshit.

My wording was poorly chosen. You are right of course. Its not a waste in that sense. But when better alternatives are available, which will hopefully soon achieve an acceptable level of efficiency, it makes no sense to build more. Apart from the space problem.

Pumpspeicherkraftwerke. We have 31 of them in germany. Which is pretty much the maximum possible because you can’t build them just everywhere. And quick search says these things are economically unsustainable because of the extremely high construction costs but very low revenues. It is wasted money.

It really does feel like a lot sometimes with the updates. I’m also thinking about looking for something that is also quite close to the edge / rolling but maybe a bit slower.

I was on Manjaro before for a couple of years. They clone the arch repos but then hold back the updates usually a week or so for testing. And it feels in general a bit more “stable” in that concern. But unfortunately over the years i noticed some problems with it like holding back important security updates for way too long for my taste or rewrites of some arch-tools which then not worked in a expected way.

And Endeavour felt right from the first second on noticeable more mature and professional with settings and tools that made sense.

The one big distro family i never looked into is Fedora. As far i see they have some kind of semi-rolling release which could fit the bill quite nicely. Major releases which then kept fairly up-to-date but not so fast and overwhelming as with Arch.

Maybe i will check it out. But yeah, i would probably miss the AUR. It is just so damn convenient.

they added some nice tools though. e.g. their pacdiff & meld tool eos-pacdiff is pretty nice. then there is a kernel manager and a pretty clever update-script / wrapper around pacman and yay (eos-update). saying it is just Arch + GUI is selling it a bit short imho.

One can like multiple distros. e.g. i run Debian on my media center because i have no need for bleeding edge software and want just a stable system that changes as rarely as possible and only receives security patches. Its a perfect OS for shit that just needs to be setup once and then runs in that configuration forever.

If you try that with e.g. Arch, it is very possible that after a week you have suddenly a different theme installed for your frontend and your plugins stopped working.

For my webservers i tend more to ubuntu because of newer packages as Debian but being still relative stable in terms of versions. (but looking into others. i’m just an lazy fuck right now)

And on my desktop system i run EndeavourOS (Arch) because i like to have the newest shit for gaming and i like some of the design decisions the dev made like the early merge of /bin.

And on some of my ancient android phones i got Alpine to run very nicely in a chroot. Primarily because it is very very lightweight / compact and uses OpenRC as init system because Systemd gets very pissy when its not running as PID 1 / detecting it is in a chroot and then refuses to start services (there are hackarounds, but why bother?)

And then there is of course things like Raspian, etc.

Use the right tool for the job.

Out of curiosity, how long does he need? If he manages to do that in an hour or max of 2, then this is not bad at all.

I don’t see how this is a Wayland problem. X11 has no desktop automation integrated either. You had to use third party tools for that like Autokey. And admittedly, there is still no comparable replacement for Wayland as far i know (maybe KDE scripts? https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/kwin/api/ or https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool?). But that is because nobody has fully build one yet, not because some inherent absence of necessary wayland functions.
