This point could be made on every ideology.. Capitalism in essence is pretty gruesome too. The enlightenment, american and french revolutions and the labor movement was stuff that moved the pin in the right direction.

Yes, my thought exactly.. In my experience it is always how you behave when arguing. If you "blame" the other will become defensive and nothing is accomplished. If you generalize and and talk in a helpful supportive way they will

Yes! Exactly this... Attention... We become so dependent on always being distracted so that we can not function without it. I remember there where a similar discussion about TV back in the days.. but the level it is on now is unprecedented.

I think most of us older than 25 understands this. We have seen the development and the war on attention. I guess the term Dopamine Fracking is not bad. I don't think we should be too alarmist though... we are kids of our time.. in tha

This is almost the same as going from making fire with a stick to using a lighter.. sure it is simplified but still not wrong. Humans while still doing grunt work can still make mistakes as does the machine.. the machine will eventually dis

I think people are forgetting that handwriting is also a technology. It is kinda a similar shift from using a stick to make fire and a lighter. The more work you put into something the more cognition you are using... so I am not sure those

Tesla (or Elon) decided to fight the labour union.. people do not like that much. So when there are alternatives people do that.

This made me think of Pauling ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Pauling ) who was a famous scientist and big proponent of high-dosage C-vitamin. He claimed it could cure everything from a cold to heart disease and ca

I am not sure this is necessarily a git issue as it is mostly a GitHub issue. just look at the Aur of Arch Linux which works perfectly.

This is kinda huge as a lot of services depend on 2g and 3g and which will now stop working. I think mainly on stuff like built-in remote systems for cars etc..

I am all for removing old junk but not that it should be replaced with newer junk.

This I am afraid does not feel as the right thing to do. I think the KISS-principle is a good standard to follow and while terminals have to do more than one thing, it should not do everything. Complexity leads to instability. Terminals has

Comparing with Tesla is bad as there is a political aspect why people, especially in EU, do not want to buy it after 2024. Which means the statistics might falter. Also when I look at other sources the data say different. I mean if I look a

No, I don't think it would have. Israels objective is to occupy everything as it is and have been using illegal settlements to achieve. This prolonged war and genocide of Palestinians is just an excuse to further that goal. The oppress

It is sad how history repeats itself.. how the country who should have been on the forefront of preventing genocide is actually the one who does it. Israel is even using similar reasoning for continuing the fight. Similar how the Nazis in N

One of the great things with Mastodon is that in case of your instance shutting down you can just move to another one. I have moved from Mastodon -> Firefish -> Mastodon without issue. In the case of Firefish the instance shut down...

I think I learned this from Arch Linux and their focus on the KISS principle ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle ). This is also something that goes beyond the computing sphere. It is really a good principle f

I guess I am still in that phase then, after 25y+ of Linux. Not that I rice constantly but that I configure my desktop exactly how I like it and then let it stay. Usually the ricing/configuring comes when I buy new hardware.. so not th

Being able to move where the jobs are... aren't really a bad thing. It helps all participants. The only downside is that you might have a bit of a brain drain. Which is not necessarily bad. Those with brains goes to another country whe

Ok... so you went to a festival without money? How would you have solved this without Swish? As you said there was no ATMs. Card readers are expensive and not really viable for most booths. They are also kind of a monopoly. You don't h

Me too.. but mostly just personal stuff. I use DarkTable and Gimp for that. I did this on a 13 year old machine running Linux. It is still running but I got my hands on a cheap NUC that I use nowadays. My machines are pretty much running 24

Don't agree. Mentality is important but it will not automatically lead to success. Look at how well Windows Phone did. Microsoft put everything they had to make that product but ultimately failed. Both Mac and Windows is successful bec

Those missing features do exist on the Jolla1 so it should work on the Xperia soon enough. Only issue I had is some apps not working.. but none important.

Well, Britain and much of Europe was under an ice cap during the last ice age that ended 8000 years ago. The start of the last ice age was rather quick from a couple of months to a decade some say. It only needs a change of the gulf stream
