These dudes saw Terminator and sided with Skynet

And then you feel it drain every last bit of moisture from your digestive tract

The whole south west region is an artificial forest for monoculture (Forêt des Landes). It’s “naturally” quite prone to fires, and even more so nowadays with all the heat waves we faced.

It’s basically kindling now, so a single cigarette butt (or in the case of the largest one, maintenance on a powerline) goes completely out of hand in mere minutes.

It’s so dry and windy that the fires can jump a kilometre at a time, that’s why there are so many right now.

You know it’s not a single binary, right ? Systemd is a bunch of different, mostly single usage, mostly optional, binaries. As far as Unix philosophy goes, Systemd is definitely following the principles, which is not the case for the Kernel for instance.

As for the binary logs, I used to hate it, but then, not having to manually parse logs for filtering is really nice.

I do have my issues with Systemd, but it not following the Unix philosophy is not one of them.

Probably greed and ignoring the science behind climate change and ecological collapse

That’s the Vimes Boots economic theory right there

I think the issue with most datacenters is the frequency, not necessarily the noise level. A low hum that permeates everything, even if it’s not “loud” can become debilitating.

His father died of FTD, and signs point towards him having it too. Epstein suspected it, and it’s becoming fairly obvious something is really wrong with him. He’s also suffered multiple strokes (visible facial droop), he has congestive heart failure (swollen ankles), and he might even have diabetes (needle marks on fingertips). He struggles stepping down stairs, and walking in a straight line. He also struggles with swallowing (slurping sounds), filtering whatever comes from his mouth, or what his body does (getting up to look at his ballroom in the middle of a meeting), he’s showing sundowning behaviour (falling asleep during the day, even in crowded, loud places, and tweeting crazy shit all night long) and has been incontinent for years at this point.

I don’t know what he has exactly, but I hope his days are painful, his nights sleepless and that he hurts every single living second.

When I questioned whether or not I was autistic (at 31) with my therapist, it made me realise how contextualised and nuanced it was, how ingrained it was and what couldn’t be explained by autism was actually ADHD. It turns out I have both (as many do).

Now everything just makes sense, but it took me almost 3 years of introspection, reflection and work to see it all (or most of it, I’m pretty sure there are things that I haven’t entirely noticed or understood yet).

The goal is to have it low enough so that every single country in the world agrees to set it up, even tax havens like Bermuda, Luxembourg or Monaco. But high enough to be effective. Then, once it’s agreed upon, we can make it better and more progressive.

The 2% would be applied to households worth 100 million dollars or more, I’m pretty sure they could spare the change without much impact on their lifestyles.

Thanks for the explanation !

At the very minimum, a 2% worldwide annual tax to prevent some tax evasion.

They would never do that, right ? Right?

Yeah, a 95% marginal tax rate and both a massive inheritance and transfer of assets while alive (not sure how it’s called) taxes would solve most of the problem.

One time 5%, that’s like a bandaid on a severed artery

If you’re actually autistic, I hope you get diagnosed, it’s definitely life changing (for the best and sometimes the worst ahah)!

My first and best move, I believe, was to make my bathroom a lot less stimulating. I added an indirect light, an adjustable pressure shower head, and a space heater.

That helps an absolute ton.

I also accepted that doing less but doing it still, is a lot better than not doing it at all. Someday I just shower, some other day I shave and shower, some other day I just wash my hair. Breaking it up and not seeing “hygiene” as a big single task massively helps too (and that’s applicable to many other things as well).

Using AI is actively harming people, stop using AI

Well, no I don’t. It’s windows or windows at work. I’m lucky enough to have WSL, but using Firefox through WSL is a hassle (proxy, extensions, DPI, etc.) . So Edge works fine for me.
