I agree we need fewer cars and more pubic transport, but these comparisons always assume maximum efficiency in bus use and minimum efficiency in car use. What if we only have 3 people on the bus? Maybe people prefer cars to an extent because they are not all crammed up? We need to make buses/trains enjoyable to use for those people who are now using cars (not me, who is already on the train anyway)

Once you discover you can just install the nix package manager with one command and then install everything with another, snap is out of the game. Even if you just use nix for like 2 packages, it’s already much better

Classic Kahneman/Tversky here

I think a huge human torso on top of a giraffe could also look funny enough

Why not scale up the size of the human so it fits with both solutions?

Isn’t a pegasus a bird? Would that mean that they lay eggs?

Sort of:

“Her body his choice”, but then interrupted by a “his body her choice”, to restore the sane “her body her choice situation”

the other difference between snap and systemd is that there are clearly better alternatives to snap that are technologically superior in practically every sense and not tied to some company that tries to sell out.

Here are some of the tools, with input from the GPT (90% was not funny, these might be but I don’t speak Dutch).

Package management:

bami -opdienen <pakket> # Install a package

bami -opeten <pakket> # Uninstall a package

bami -doorroeren # Update all installed packages

bami -keuken <pakket> # List available packages

bami -smaaktest # Check the details of a package

bami -restanten # Clean up orphaned or unused packages

Process management:

vla -aanzet # Start a new process

vla -proeven # Check the status of a process

Wait, so it became a “his body her choice” situation?

I usually fly in to buy it locally. Important these days to know your farmers

correct answer (as far as my opinion is concerned without doing any actual research)

That is a romantic way to say it

Does it do swipe and how well? Github says a blob library is needed for that. Can’t be bothered with typing individual letters anymore on mobile

I’m not a tourist and I’m pretty sure that’s not what was going on. More of a “oh, a foreigner, let’s practice English!” kind of situation

I don’t think it’s that normal in other countries, and also I don’t think that it’s always considered racist in the US. The way I see it, immigration politics become problematic when either there is a cultural difference that seems difficult to overcome, or when some politicians/media purposefully reinforce racist stereotypes.

For example: There was a big debate in Germany 20 years ago about whether it should be legal or illegal for women to wear a Hijab. Allowing it would support religious freedom, but be associated with gender discrimination. Disallowing it was seen as supporting gender equality, but be against religious freedom. Both gender and religious discrimination are unconstitutional in Germany. How should you resolve that?

Another example: The republicans in the US lie and say that immigrants eat pets. Media reinforces that. Now people hate immigrants a bit more (following a longer, ongoing narrative).

Hm, I guess it’s hard to get a conclusive perspective on this, because I still don’t see what the “generally frowned upon” claim is based on. I mean, making phone calls on the subway would be a clear breach of norms and people would confirm that to me. There are also announcements/signs that make this explicit. Parents teaching it is such an explicit thing, this is the first time I heard that.

OTOH, I got a friendly comment one time for eating ice cream while walking around Tokyo. An elderly man used this as a conversation starter (and to practice some English, I guess). Sort of: “Ah, the foreigners really do that, like in the movies”. We had a nice little conversation after this, so it didn’t seem to be ironic either.

Still looks ripped under that shirt. Let him sit there for a few years and see how that changes!

I like how this flips the narrative from: “I need to make my impact on the future by leaving a child!” to “I can also make an impact on the future by deciding not to leave a child here!”

Get out of that, uh, jabroni outfit!
