You’re mad.

My fellow FOSS users, patches are welcome.
Appreciate it!
Thank you 🙏
Got reference on hand? I’d like to store it for future use. ☺️
When the vast majority spreads on several platforms, you can very much beat it by blocking it. We’re not doing it not because we can’t but because letting it spread is profitable. Prior to the invention of modern social media the problem of misinformation was much smaller. Yes of course it will never disappear but we don’t need it to disappear.
Kind of. It depends on how egregious it is. Companies endangering lives by pitting melamine in mile - jail. Foxconn endangering lives by overworking people in work camps - 👨🦯
But I definitely give you that some of the more egregious cases are taken more seriously than in the west.
It depends on cost of living. $1M in the US doesn’t buy the same as $1M in France.
Most people who actually build everything do not have significant enough wealth to be affected. France doesn’t need someone with significant wealth in order to build something. France can provide the financial capital. We do know that public investment spurs private investment, but private investment isn’t strictly required.
Besides, we’ve already seen plenty examples of countries where people with significant wealth do not use it to build things in low tax destinations, especially where that low tax results in crumbling infrastructure and unstable labor and political climate.
I wonder whether the lost economic activity is actually worth more to the country than the money raised by the tax.
The answer is “yes” it’s worth it. Answering “no” puts you in a race to the bottom which leads to dysfunctional economy and eventually some sort of political upheaval, during which wealth and factories are exceedingly likely to be taken away anyways. See history for references. Also every EUR creates more economic activity at the bottom, than the top. The vast majority of the aggregate demand in richer economies isn’t comprised from the top 1%. The aggregate demand is what makes it worth making things and what drives significant private investment. Drive it down and there comes a point where no amount of tax cuts can offset it.
Hoffmann also pointed to another unwelcome side-effect of longer shipping routes: rising greenhouse gas emissions. “Ships have increased their speeds, which has led to a rise in emissions, for example, by 70% on the Singapore-Rotterdam route.”

Any distro.
Use a Windows VM for things that are unavailable or don’t work well as a web app. The absolute easiest way to run a Windows VM is VMware Player especially if you use a stable OS like Debian or Ubuntu LTS. The built-in KVM hypervisor works fine too but it requires more work to setup a Windows VM with all the drivers, shared folder, etc. And it won’t have graphics acceleration of any sort. With that said I’ve personally migrated from VMware to KVM in anticipation that Broadcom who recently purchased VMware will turn their software to shit or start asking for more money, or both.
Will mpg become the new mph?
No because Europeans use neither mpg nor mph. 🤭
Yes they were, and both the NFP and the Macronists collaborated to drop their own candidates strategically to beat the NR. Had either one of them not done that, the NR would have won. Had both of them not done that the NR would have had a majority.
It’s hard to believe that the left managed to wipe Macron’s ass. I hoped they would but I was skeptical.
Them running dual-boot with Windows as the default boot choice.
Pls explain meme… 🥹 Am a Linux user, haven’t experienced that 🤔 I don’t see the fundamental difference between powering off Linux machine and restarting it. Presumably you’d have to power it on again at some point? Or is it that you’d have to wait for it to restart to power it off again? 🤔 Cause then it’s pretty safe to hold the power button for hardware power off. Once it’s restarted, all the user data is synced to disk. Hard power off before user login will not lose any important data 99.99% of the time.
Stop jobs are a systemdism and they’re nice. I think the desktop environment kills its children on its own during reboot and it might not be as nice. Graphical browsers often complain about being killed after a reboot in GNOME.
You know, as time passes I get the feeling that this “space of externalities >>> the market space” might indeed be the case, or otherwise put that the free market fails to allocate resources efficiently more often than it succeeds. I just don’t know if there’s any empirical evidence for it and therefore I didn’t want to add much of my opinion. Just the mainstream economic view of externalities coupled with a few obvious and massive examples like climate change paints a decent picture.
Do you know of any analysis that tries to compare the space of externalities vs the space of the market?
He said some pretty uncomfortable things to some of that audience. In his recent article, Cory suggested that if there is a way to break the Trump voting block it’s to highlight the irreconcilable contradictions between the people in it. I had an initial knee jerk reaction to the news about this speech, but after listening to it, I think O’Brien did exactly that.
