great points. I'd even go as far as to say that an apache server on a SOC board that you can throw in a closet with some drives is enough. I am pretty happy playing music through a browser, but i digress. Either way, there are tons of simple solutions.

I don't want to bring out the psych again but i cant help it.
I'd wager that until this point if you didn't or don't have your own physical collection its because of your personality makeup. Since these rug-pulls haven't been going on as often as they have in the last few years, if you've been happy being 'pragmatic' and taking what the services have to offer then you aren't as 'idealistic', otherwise refusing to compromise since you down 'own' a copy.
Likewise if you're a 'big-picture' thinker you can't stand the chance that things become unavailable due to forces unseen, whereas if you 'think-small' then theres no real risk and we can take companies word at face value.
very interesting to see the contrast between the two conflicts in terms of economic sanctions, or the lack thereof.

to me this topic goes to show that if you remove the US-centric discourse out of a world event, you get to actually see the real nuances in what the direct parties are doing.

Knowing the algorithm literally means that you could theoretically reproduce it yourself, step by step (absent practical worries about longevity). Each of the steps is simple and well understood. What to do at each step is simple and well understood. What more is there to understand?
There are ~9 Senators and 26 House representatives who are Jewish. There is only 1 Palestinian, and as the article pointed out, many from the pro-Israel faction are vying to have her expelled from congress.
Further, in the US, nearly every presidential candidate or prominent politician has staunchly taken the side of Israel, reiterating their 'right to defend' whenever the mass casualties of Gaza are brought up. Many in Biden's admin have given interviews saying this sentiment as well.

So while I'm sure your statistics are correct, I think it's a misnomer to say that there is more anti-Israel propoganda or pro-Israel or anti-Palestinian, etc. It's a moot point. The most clear point to me is that most gov't officials are supporting Israel's war no matter what.
The Nuremberg trials happened between then and now. Germany continues to facilitate and participate in the apprehension of Nazis and their collaborators, even those who are toward the end of their lives.

You must know that, and that Germany today is among the most strident opponents of anti-Semitism because of its history, and that this permeates society, especially in board rooms, populated by people who were made to reckon with the horrors committed by the Nazis as part of their basic education. Among European countries has been very accepting of refugees from war-torn regions, even non-white refugees.

Furthermore, unlike the US, Germany has been able to keep xenophobes out of control of government (while dealing with very similar domestic xenophobic movements that the US faces).

If you have credible evidence of VW's current leadership being anti-Semitic or xenophobic, share it. Otherwise your comment is gas-lighting and deception.
Fwiw...this reminded me I had a package ($90) not show up this week. I used their completely automated system and got refunded in 5 minutes. Message even says "if you find the package you can keep it."

I think you need a lot of examples to draw any conclusions and self-reporting is going to be almost entirely negative experiences.
Because Israel cares about their civilians and defends them at huge costs (Iron Dome), while hamas is happier the more civilian death happens on their side, as it’s free propaganda/media outrage for them - see human shield, starting rockets from civilian buildings, etc.
szepanski reactivated the label some years ago. new releases can be found on bandcamp [1]. from 2014 onwards he also wrote several books on financial capital and marx based on laruelle, deleuze and lately especially baudrillard [2]. last year he published a "new theory of financial capital" [3], that also got published in china [4].

Kyev, capital of Ukraine, to Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia, it’s about the same distance as San Francisco to Los Angeles.

One is a bit over 500 km and the other is about 1300 km. It's not meaningfully 'about the same distance'. It's an enourmous distance to hit only three European countries, though, you can do this in much less time/distance driving around nearby Trieste or Bratislava.

-dev contains the headers, that ones pretty easy.

The number is a version for when they provide more than one that can be installed at once (excepting where it's part of the library name, presumably like xcb1).

I.e. at some point you could probably install libgtk-3-0 and libgtk-2-$something at the same time. They likely leave it that way when they get rid of libgtk-2 so that existing tutorials that reference libgtk-3-0 don't fail because the package is now libgtk.

The libwayland-server0 one does get me, I don't know why there's a 0 at the end. I do know that in /var/lib there is often the same library with various .$number endings, but I've never looked into what that accomplishes.
> they don’t prevent crime, they just enumerate it.

This isn't always correct and is rather myopic.

Quite often laws will issue punishments for some behaviors, but also issue things like funding for programs that work on the roots of why particular crimes occur.

Now, laws that punish post ad hoc are always easier to measure and see, because it's much harder to prove that you prevented something that only had a probability of happening in the first place.
From what I've seen on twitter, all of these things are already present in New York, especially among the openly corrupt placard class, the people who purchase traffic law immunity from the NYPD.

Not that anyone was enforcing traffic or parking violations in the city anyway. They have a citizen reporting system, and many violations get marked "Completed" within minutes, despite nothing ever being done about it.
Amazon (US) has really gone downhill in the past ~5 years.

I signed up for Prime a over decade ago because of the reliable 2 day shipping. It worked pretty much as described. It was great.

Shipping is no longer 2 days on most items - "Prime" shipping can now take 7 days. Amazon advertise same or next day shipping, but it's really only for big ticket, occasional purchase items. Most everyday purchases now take 3-7 days, the same as without prime. They show the prime badge, but if you log out you can see that non-prime members get the same shipping.

This feels really dishonest. Amazon pretend that you get huge shipping benefits from Prime, but it turns out you don't anymore.

For the first time, I've cancelled my prime renewal. What, exactly, am I paying for these days? Walmart offer next-day free shipping on the big ticket items too, without the membership.

This is Kremlin propaganda, from their perspective all eastern European countries are brainwashed by CIA to want in EU and NATO, most Russian actually believe that is not possible that their neighbors actually dislike Russia and want in EU.

I can confirm to you that Russia is heavily working on preventing Moldova to enter EU and this is not an existential problem from Russia, they just want to extend their sphere of influence back in eastern Europe because they believe Russia is a super power like USA and they demand their right as a super power to get East Europe back.

> some people in Catalunya were prosecuted for crating a referendum, I guess for you that's not democratic

The "referendum" was obviously not democratic.

You seem to have doubts still about that, so let me kindly illustrate you, about how real democracies work.

There is not a single democracy, not a single one, where common people can replace unilaterally the powers of the state.

Democracy does not mean that my friends and me can "vote" if we take your house and properties and chase you off, or don't do it (This is exactly what they were trying with the majority of the population in Catalonia).

I can't create my own taxes, or decide that I am too beautiful to pay the taxes that I dislike.

I can't replace the police and start driving like a mad in the highway while shooting people.

I can't build my own army, or trial somebody unilaterally acting as prosecutor and judge.

And of course I can't start an election, specially one that requires people to vote in a f*g cardboard urn, placed in the headquarters or a f*g political party.

The power to start elections lies in the elected president. Period. The state has the monopoly of a lot of things. If you start elections by yourself is, first, a farce, and second, not democratic.

Stop listening to people who say to stop listening to people trying to tell you what you should do or not. It is not all relative, there are good and bad choices.
What you're suggesting has a known solution: dynamic (i.e. surge) pricing.

There are many variations: you can do dynamic spot pricing (which is determined in real time, like Uber/Lyft surges), or reserved pricing (which is dynamic but can be locked in ahead of time, like the wholesale day-ahead electricity market which is priced by the hour or hotels/airplane tickets). Or some combination of the above.

You can do this through a phone app.
The problem is OSS software not even trying to compete with the market. People using OSS software taking it for granted that the UX is going to be subpar, and it really is. Regular propriety software faces the risk of their users not paying, therefore adapting to make end user experience great. OSS usually doesn't have that risk. Open source needs to be exposed to risk from end users.

I tried to change that with Notes[1] but I find it hard to live on solely on ads. I tried to incorporate paying for some premium features (like Kanban) but the app is still fully FOSS therefore everyone can compile it from source easily.

I think I'll close-source my next app[2] before it launches. I just can't risk not being paid for my hard work. I also believe the Linux community will benefit from that, since getting paid will allow me to invest more in making UX-focused apps on Linux. I might open source some parts of it tho (or maybe all of it in the far future).

An auction would optimize pricing, but at the cost of extra friction on drivers. Who wants to have to think about bidding on a toll everyday?

Another way to do it would be to look at historical data and predict demand in advance. You could then do custom prices by day, but scheduled a month in advance or more. You could also split the day into two or three periods with different pricing.
I enjoy writing software a lot but I don't enjoy doing it as part of a large team.

I'm currently exploring doing part time contract work as well as working on a side project. I really enjoy both. I'm making less money than I was before (still enough tolive off) but I'm hoping to get better at this and up the income.

Think about what you do enjoy doing and then try to figure how to turn that into a job.
They could certainly demand the US and Europeans, US and Gulf State to kick down some coin to pay for it. The problem is Hamas is an offshoot of the Islamic brotherhood and so everyone especially in the middle east sees them as radioactive.
Yea, the tone was off-putting to me too.

But the message and information is good though.

I'd personally word it something like "Linux users don't want more distributions. They want software". At least, this is the case for me.
My next machine is going to be a lever machine for sure! Though I will say that a direct lever machine is the ultimate tradeoff of control over precision/repeatability. Spring levers give you a ton of control with more precision because you're retarding the lever to subtract from the maximum pressure of the spring rather than modulating your muscle power in real time. Unfortunately, what the simple lever machines give you in terms of pressure control, they take away in temperature control. Getting accurate, repeatable temperature shots from a La Pavoni is a bit of a black art, and the group can easily overheat, requiring you to cool it down before making coffee.

Even in the case of lever machines, you get more control if you spend more money. Take a high-end lever machine like the ACS Vesuvius Evo Levo [1]. This machine has an 11-bar dual spring group (which you can back off to your heart's content by retarding the lever) and a pump to provide selectable preinfusion between 1.5 and 5 bar. It also has 3 independently controlled (PID) heaters: 1 in the coffee boiler, 1 in the steam/service boiler, and 1 in the group itself. This allows you to do temperature profiling by, for example, setting a higher temperature in the group than in the coffee boiler, which will cause the slightly cooler water from the boiler to bring down the temperature of the group during the extraction.

The US certainly spends a lot on elections, and one might debate whether that's too much or not. But what is certain is that campaign money contributes to the GDP. It funds a lot of salaries.

I'd rather that money go to people instead of a faceless cryptofund. I think that's the joke.

It seems to me that NYC has really decided they want to collapse and aren't imploding fast enough.

There is no sane reason to deliberately devalue an urban core like this. They already face property tax collapse due to an occupancy crisis. It'll be like Gary, Indiana (just east of me) before you know it.

If they want to encourage use of mass transit, they should to address that issue directly, rather than this self-sabotage.
