They count it as Linux, yes!

I wanted to delete all the subfolders in the current directory:

 rm -rf ./*

After a few seconds, I realize in horror that I had mistyped the path. Whole system nuked. Had backups though.

"Escanciar" in Spanish means pouring from a height for the purpose of mixing a beverage (usually cider) with air. I suppose it would still be valid if you're pouring a mix from some height.

Disabling the USB port is neat, BUT... What if it got instead reconfigured to pretend to be a USB keyboard when connected and then... you know... For research purposes, of course.

"Socialism turns out to work pretty well and is beating our ass" --> “Now, no one — certainly not me — is discounting the power of markets,” Sullivan noted at the time. “But in the name of oversimplified market efficiency, a large non-market economy had been integrated into the international economic order in a way that posed considerable challenges.”

Makes sense, thanks!

There are some really cool electoral methods that are used in some niche situations (e.g. the Schulze method). Obviously wouldn't work to elect a government, since that would not massively benefit the ruling class as the current methods do.

Yes, you are right, but during most of that time, interest rates neared zero. I like to plot the sum of YoY inflation and interest rates since it is more stable and gives a feeling of how much headroom there actually is.

Once I needed a small plastic piece printed for a study and a neurosurgeon suggested sending it to the bone printing department. They're really capable and can make things like models for understanding how a patient's anatomy would impact surgery, etc. Obviously overkill for my project though, I just ordered it from Wenext.

Curious how long they'll be able to go on with the narrative that inflation will go down and interest rates will be reduced soon...

Production exists to satisfy demand that's right. And nothing about that is any different under socialism or communism. Whether people want a new phone or not is orthogonal to the fundamental problem of who controls production.

Very cool context, thx!

If you can't find a tool, this has worked to some degree for me. Open on e.g. GIMP, scale the images to the desired size in different layers, use perspective transform to align them very precisely, then set layer opacity so that you can merge them down with equal weight on each photo. It's not a really good method, but might do the job. Good luck!

Lately I use it for hobby projects, but also for academic stuff (e.g., interacting with experimental devices, sensors). Rust allows me to write fast code quickly while not spending a long time with valgrind.

From the very large proportion of "UX Researchers" and "UX Content" laid off in the picture, I'd suppose it's a satirical UI mockup made by a UX researcher. No idea if that's the case though.

No side wants to give you affordable healthcare and housing. If they say they want to do it, but then do absolutely nothing in that general direction, they don't want to do it.

Yeah when your country is bombed and deprived of food for months you just need to quickly un-bear all of your children and problem solved!

Seriously though, some people really think they can find an explanation to make everyone deserve their problems. As if the physical world literally didn't exist and those problems had no correlation outside the individual's soul or whatever.

I wonder what the writings were, although I'm cautious on believing that they were antisemitic, since hating Jews and hating Israel have historically been opposing positions expressed by two widely different demographics, and now that division is clearer than ever.

Printing money is just one way that inflation can appear. The latest trends in that respect are in fact not caused by money-printing.

That long-running Spongebob comic from r/imsorryjon, maybe the last or one of the last parts I think.
