The clearly ChatGPT-written description is icing on the lazy, entitled, Facebook-addict cake.

Very good point - oddly enough I was being too charitable by calling this guy a fucking idiot.

Just incredible. I think these people are too stupid to understand how stupid they are.

In his interview with HuffPost, Fears tried to distance himself a little from the scene around him. He said of Richard Spencer, “I agree with like 75 percent of his ― he’s not ― he’s kind of a scam artist, in my opinion.” Asked if he identified as alt-right, he said: “I try and deny identity politics. That’s why I’m not wearing a white polo and all that stuff.” But he also served up a word salad of white grievance: “Like, OK, for one thing, say, you know, gay marriage, that’s cool, whatever, you know, except — that’s fine, I’m cool with it — well, then, what’s after that? The next step? This whole transgender movement, right? Well, if you don’t accept that, you’re a bigot, this and that. Well, that all goes hand in hand with being a white person.”

Asked about the pin he was wearing during the interview, Fears said “it’s basically just like an SS thing.” Explaining the significance of the pin would require an extensive conversation about World War II, he said. “And it’s my heritage, I’m German.”

Link to source please - if this is real, I want to read the whole thing.

Funny thing is he’s basically describing the True Levellers, who of course have nothing to do with Nazism.

Those who use Instagram will keep using it and forget all about this within 24 hours.

Those homophones have reeked havoc for too long!

I’m sure all those enterprise clients are positively champing at the bit to switch to Linux 🙄 Can I have a conversation about computers here without it being about Linux? And I say this as somebody who uses Linux full-time on all their computers.

includes a much broader library of softwate than Microsoft has ever maintained.

This is true, but isn’t what I was referring to. The problem MS are facing is not what they themselves have built, but the huge number of apps that other businesses have built over the years which prevent MS from rewriting or deprecating many parts of the bloated zombie that is now Windows.

Ackshually this is well within the range of a Class F star, unlike our class G sun which is a bit cooler. This is getting cloe to the temperature of Procyon A which is noticeably whiter than the sun.

All software is either shit to begin with or becomes shit when it gets big enough. If a Linux distro were forced to maintain as much legacy cruft as Windows it would be shit too.

FWIW I use Obsidian on desktop and Nextcloud Notes on mobile (along with Nextcloud sync for, uh, syncing) and it works great. All this and a TB of storage only costs me about 5 EUR/mo with Hetzner.

The Google Reader comparison is excellent, that one still hurts… I think RSS usage has simply declined tremendously overall though, as opposed to PKM which is still going strong (I think/hope)

What none of them do well is syncing and collaboration without paying for hosting or self hosting.

Not to pick on you here, but you’re surprised that nobody is bulding an app for free and then paying for a server to also give away for free? Open source devs already struggle to make ends meet - now they’re supposed to operate at a loss?

Me too, but I figure a clone will pop up very quickly if that happens, and I’ll already have an easily portable folder with markdown files.

I know this won’t go over well here but I don’t really care that Obsidian isn’t FOSS, because it’s just a frontend for markdown files in folders. There’s no lock-in whatsoever, and it being FOSS or not makes no functional difference.

Especially if that’s access the other airlines don’t have. Westjet has been on strike before and I don’t remember the feds stepping in.

Thanks - if that was the rationale, then AC should be (re-)nationalized. No private company should be allowed to become so essential to the functioning of our country.

It would be nice if the article explained why the tribunal declared the strike unlawful. What was the rationale?

120k in silion valley in particular is barely a livable wage. CoL is incredibly high there.
