At the end of the day all governments are desperately afraid of making people angry (at them), from the healthiest democracy to the most totalitarian dictatorship

One would think so. But a quick glance at Russia, or even the current US one would show you otherwise.

Most governments don’t seem to pay a lot of attention to it. Democracies tend to be the most concerned ones, but it still varies a lot.

China seems very stable to me. Their government is afraid of making people angry, and removing basic help like that is very likely to make people angry.

But also, it seems to me that the “generally” in “generally free” is doing some work. AFAIK, some care is free, some care isn’t. And the pretty good quality of life doesn’t seem to be universally distributed. Both of those seem to be improving quickly, but the “people are better than in the US” impression one may take from that comment seems to be a misrepresentation.

He’s supposed to be super-strong.

Cool. You can just add it on the systemsettings.

Your windows disappearing in a flame seems awesome…

Yes, they can. But that’s quite a lot of permanent work. Lots of people interact with the content here without even looking where it is.

I have only seen the “bad” unaligned communities doing that. The ones that actually have interesting stuff seem to just live with the votes.

Yes, it’s typical.

Votes don’t mean much, but communities that deviate from the main spirit have to live with them. (And yes, that’s mostly bad, even though in a few cases it’s good.)

It’s a very beautiful moon. Too bad one needs a telescope to see it.

What are you doing? If we can see the cat, we will know if it died.

I asked the AI to be sure:

on won what letter does the “AI” start in “IPA”?

The “ai” sound in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) starts with the letter “a” in the combination “aɪ” which represents the diphthong sound like the “long i” in words such as “buy,” “aisle,” and “isle.” The IPA sequence “aɪ” begins with the letter “a” and is followed by the letter “ɪ” to form this diphthong sound. So, the “AI” sound in IPA starts on the letter “a.” This diphthong consists of two vowel sounds pronounced in one syllable, starting with an open front vowel [a] and gliding to a near-close near-front vowel [ɪ].

So, it’s confirmed. The “AI” is there where “IPA” has an “A” followed by an “I”.

They [software engineers] had to be bad at their normal job.

So …

You didn’t notice it by now?

Ouch, I don’t follow him, YT just sends me the videos all the time.

It’s officially about Linux, so I’m not sure I’ve got it right. I think it’s this one:

Oh no, I’ve read your last sentence. The people in one side of that issue are the problem. The issue itself has no sides.

It takes longer to configure a newer slicer than to test if the old one works in wayland :)

When I need something more advanced, like customized supports, I’ll migrate. Didn’t happen yet.

But what freedom unit?

If it’s 0.3 miles, wouldn’t it be replaced with some other unit? So, it’s 0.3 of the smaller unit (whatever that is), or miles? Or do people not convert small values when working in freedom units?

They are using a shitty language that does almost nothing for them and doesn’t guarantee the final binary will do anything close to what the source implies. There’s no sides to this. It’s just reality.

If they aren’t trying to migrate away from it, it’s not good. If they actively insist on harassing the people trying to help them migrate away from it, they are the problem.

Slic3r doesn’t work on it.

No idea of why. (But I suspect it’s about the several monitors thing.) Will probably try again in a year or 5.

There’s a Youtube channel that mostly just follows the wayland bug tracker.

The secret is that you need proportional elections within each district. What also implies that they should be bigger…

Or, in other words, just copy Switzerland and you’ll be fine.

(Personally, I’m divided. The largest scale your election is, the most voice you give to fringe distributed groups. I can’t decide if this is good or bad.)

Sure, they can technically move the plane on regular roads too

Well, not really. Or technically, they can if they move fast enough. If they stop, wherever they are will stop being a road quickly.

And there’s that entire problem of making room for the wings. It’s one of the largest problems when designing airports.
