Looks interesting. I do have a Linux machine for work due to software requirements. I will have a look at void.

I went from using slackware late 90s early 00 to Mac OSX in early/mid 00. When coming back to Linux late 00 early 10s I was so disappointed in the Linux distros. I tried Ubuntu but was very disappointed in the lack of newer versions of third party software in their repo. Tried Arch for a while and while packages were up to date, every now and then the OS updates would mess something up and I had to start troubleshooting.

It might be better now, but I eventually gave up and went to FreeBSD about 10 years ago. Stable base and separate up to date third party feels like the best of both worlds. Not sure if any llinux distro offers something like that now. No snap, no flatpack, just a base os and up to third party date packages.

On a post about Trump saying that Haitians are taking other people’s pets and eating them, you said:

Millions of dogs and cats are eaten around the world yearly.

This is a fact, and we can come to certain conclusions.

You can’t blame people from thinking that you are inferring that Trump is telling the truth.

But we’ve come to the conclusion now that Trump is indeed lying and Haitians aren’t stealing people’s pets and eating them. Has it ever happened anywhere? Very possible. Is it currently happening in Springfield? No.

To expand your analogy to the house on how the rich used their unrealised gains.

You buy a house and it appreciates in value. You bowwow money against the capital gains and use that to live on. Your house price goes up further, generating more capital gains that you can now bowwow against to pay back your previous loan.

edit: also since you’re so filthy rich the banks give you really low interest rates, way less than tax would have been.

Yepp, at some point at some time someone in USA has eaten a dog or a cat. But do Haitians regularly steal other people’s pets and eat them? Very unlikely.

If I were to speculate…

• There are people in some countries that eat dogs and cats.
• Someone’s neighbour’s sister friend said they saw someone with a dead cat with the intent to eat it.

Therefore immigrants are regularly stealing other people’s pets and are eating them.

We can extrapolate this with anything.

• There are people that poop their pants.
• There are reports of Trump wearing diapers and smelling liken poop.

I think ww can draw our own conclusion about this one…

Could you spell out what conclusions you take from that?

What you observes could be OS depended,. Vim has its own copy paste buffers (y,p etc) and the OS has its own. Traditionally highligh to copy and middle mouse button to paste on Unix. Windows has 2 methods, ctrl-c,v but those are also bindings in vim so only the older less known crtl-insert,shirt-insert works.

Copy paste is definitely built in, there is no need for extra plugins.

You mean you couldn’t copy some text from vim and paste it into another application? if yes, what did you have to install/configure for that? I’ve never had any issues copy paste from/to vim, console/GUI windows/Unix.

As far as I understood the article, it is taxing unrealised capital gains, but you have to be very rich and have a substantial portion of your wealth in unrealised capital gains. It feels targeted as people like Elon Musk.

Wow, what a charismatic guy, that wasn’t painful to watch at all…

The creator says that they use the mediabiasfactcheck.com’s API and looking at their page it doesn’t seem like that info is readily available but maybe they will take a feature request to try to add that info.

The bot seems to use the medibiasfactcheck.com’s API which should report ‘mixed’ factual reporting with extreme right bias.

edit:

seems like there is more data available, the bot could report the MBFC Credibility Rating as well.

edit2: I was looking for a fox rating by that bot, I wasn’t able to find one “in the wild” but it seems like it does use the MBFC rating for the heading and does indeed classify fox as “Low”

Example from what I guess is the guys development teating posts: https://lemmy.world/post/18064796

People who downvote instead of (or as well as) blocking it. Why the downvotes? You don’t want to see a bias/factual rating of the source or you don’t agree with the rating?

1 FreeBSD server with zfs mirror for storage and various server software

1 FreeBSD laptop for development

1 Linux laptop for software that doesn’t support FreeBSD

1 Linux desktop for work.

The rest of the family is 100% windows though :/

It might not but since you effectively have a binary choice, which Israeli policy do you prefer, Bidens or Trump.

if it’s really a tie, then start looking at the other policies to see which is the lesser of the two evils.

So he just leaped ahead to accept a whole lot of evil instead of just a certain level of evil?

I stand corrected, and I see I didn’t read the comment thoroughly enough either.

Colloquially as a non-pcb maker I would use and hear the term “mill” as short form millimeter so I assumed it was that.

so TIL :)

A millimeter i.e a thousands of a meter.

edit: I was wrong, confusingly enough it is a thousands of an inch

The spikes are too small, looks much more like a jackfruit.
