Those were just random examples that came to mind. I’m sure there are places where people have an impression of Chinese people based on tourists, etc.
Americans just stand out because you see them everywhere, because they have a huge amount of wealth.
The point I was trying to make is that it’s tourists in general who might tend to be more annoying.


I think they are just talking about annoying main-character type people you see traveling all over the world. It’s not really an American thing, it’s just that a you’re likely to come across an American one of these assholes due to various statistical factors. I’m sure in Spain they have the same idea about the English, or in Indonesia about Australians.
If you’re the type of person to think about this and contemplate how people perceive you, I strongly suspect you are not going to annoy anyone.
If you want a cheerful alternative to everyone boiling, you can read The Road

This is a deal-breaker. It should be like fried bread, not toast


They’re going to have to generate at least 10 new Ayn Rand novels to feed into the next training data set.


Because it wasn’t obvious to me from the article, and I was trying to figure out whose sovereign tech fund it is:
The Sovereign Tech Agency is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Digital Transformation and Government Modernisation and is a subsidiary of SPRIND, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation.


It should be possible to use a distributed web of trust for this.

Laying on my back on my sofa playing Clair Obscure at 720p, while my overpowered gaming pc with giant screens is just over there.
I don’t even bother trying to stream games or use the dock on my TV, I just like holding a little rectangle in front of my face.


For me the scariest thing someone could do on my pc is exfiltrate all the data from my home directory which is readable by my user account.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, but that’s harm to me without root access.
Well that was fucking dark. Good read though


Still team Emacs. We’re a team because we use elisp, not because of something trivial like how our text editors work.


It feels weird that it has it’s own domain name and slogan. I get that there’s a promotional aspect to it, but it seems a bit much.


This is a good article because it immediately made me feel stupid for not knowing about O_PATH.
I really need to figure out a better sandboxing method for shells. It’s crazy to be things where my keys, browser data, shell history are all accessible.
I do try to use firejail where possible, but it’s quite cumbersome. Every so often I look for tools to help with this, but everything is oriented around making a specific program (e.g. Firefox, steam) work.
