It’s actually vanilla milk, picture is accurate

1. I’d try it
2. Why on earth would they capitalize snake case like that

I thought gacha referred to the lootbox mechanic, how core are anime girls to gacha gaming? Actually curious.

That lesson was always the point of monopoly of course:

The game is named after the economic concept of a monopoly—the domination of a market by a single entity. The game is derived from The Landlord’s Game, created in 1903 in the United States by Lizzie Magie, as a way to demonstrate that an economy rewarding individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth.[1][6] It also served to promote the economic theories of Henry George—in particular, his ideas about taxation.[7] The Landlord’s Game originally had two sets of rules, one with tax and another on which the current rules are mainly based.

Same for me. I distro-hopped for about 20 years with OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Debian, Arch and Fedora being the most memorable desktop setups for me. While all that was a valuable experience, NixOS feels like graduation.

For the Nix-curious: I wish someone would have told me not to bother with the classic config and build a flake-based system immediately. They’re “experimental” in name only, very stable and super useful in practice.

It’s a good idea in theory, but it’s a challenging concept to have to explain to immigration officials at the airport.

We’re talking about intelligence here, a concept that comes with a lot of baggage, so I agree that it’s good to be precise. Critical thinking skills and good decision-making is definitely part of what I meant when I posted my comment.

In my opinion, your use of the term is in danger of

1. essentializing intelligence: “This fascist may have a good education and specialized skills, but they are not in and of themselves intelligent.” I think it’s better to think of intelligence as a contingent and situational social effect rather than as an inherent property of a person.
2. becoming a tautology: “Intelligent people could never support this, therefore I know that all fascists are stupid.” This type of argument just dosn’t hold.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that fascism appeals to the uneducated and unintelligent, but it would be a mistake to reduce it to a function of intellect, or an “ideology of the stupid”. There’s plenty of dangerous, sincere fascists who are quite intelligent in all useful meanings of the word.

No doubt that they do. I’m just not sure if it’s productive to say that this is an inherent characteristic to fascist propaganda, or if that’s trivializing the issue, since many intelligent and educated people are also drawn to it. Minor point of distinction though, I grant you that.

Last weekend a friend told me that they’re involved in an activist group that focuses on political education for people with learning disabilities and severe mental health issues. The activists’ reasoning is that this group of people is very susceptible to fascist narratives, and prone to social isolation when they start adopting or simply repeating fascist world views.

Fascists of course have no trouble claiming that support as validation for their politics, and votes are votes, after all. One could even argue that fascist propaganda inherently targets people with reduced intellectual capabilities.

This post made me think of that.

This cat just moved to Berlin

A study in my hometown found that shopkeepers are mostly concerned about their own commute, not decrease of patrons.

What’s more, they require you to periodically log in on your phone. If you exclusively use the desktop client, you will get a message that access will be blocked if you don’t sign in on your phone.

I feel you.

Signal still centrally collects metadata and requires a phone number to participate.

If you’re serious about privacy, ESPECIALLY if you’re part of a group looking to organize in a clandestine fashion, you should look into the vastly superior SimpleX Chat.

Not sure if this is indended or not, but the somewhat controversial mother tree hypothesis stipulates exactly this – trees borrowing carbohydrates (sugar) from neighbors via mycorrhizal networks.

There’s probably many different ways to achieve this but I would probably use a shell (zsh or fish) that does this by default

Big fan of both fzf and tmux!
