Reminds me of those aereal photographs of the Sentinelese.

Is it like /dev/null or should I be selective with what I post there?

When trying to fall asleep some words came to me, but they haven’t really been gnawing at me, but I desire to write them somewhere.

Oh no! Europe has been corrupted by China and is now following their example and banning videogames!

Thanks!

The China Bad Times

My search engine doesn’t show anything for that term. Is it a real thing?

Business as usual.

(Just wanted to say that. Regardless of whether it make sense in this context.)

Yeah, you are right. Now that I think of it, nsfwing it sort of allows people to choose a middle ground (since blocking it would, make it so that you never see it, which may not be desired by some who want to avoid that type of content but still sometimes want to see it regardless).

Not sure if that would be necessary, since the user can just block the community, if they don’t ever want to see it. I think it should be marked as NSFW if the posts within were able to cause harm to some people by just viewing a single post.

I just tried that game.

Is there any way to decrease emissions? It seems that regardless of what I do they always increase (the lowest increase I ever got was when I turned everyone vegetarian where emissions only increased by 0.4, and then immediately continued increasing). I completely got rid of fossil fuels in energy production (relying now on nuclear, wind and hydro), funded mass-transport to cut fuel usage (I haven’t changed fuel production one bit, because every alternative seemed equally bad, so the most reasonable choice was to simply decrease its consumption) and, as mentioned earlier, enforced vegetarianism. Nothing seems to decrease emissions.

But others may not and even with a big display it can get bothersome if you have multiple buffers open on screen.

But it doesn’t avoid long lines.

Some comments sound a bit weird, when you don’t know SS stands for Secret Service here.

I think there’s actually a subreddit for those maps: r/portugalcykablyat/

That green country on the south east of Africa is not Zimbabwe. It’s Moçambique.

I think it’s the same on Reddit, I guess. Reddit’s algorithms just avoids showing you the posts that don’t seem to be so popular (though, at least on the subreddits I was, I remember there were a lot of posts that didn’t have any comments or only had a bot comment. I actually think Lemmy might be even more active in the comments than on Reddit)

What it could have been.

In this case, it’s because the main focus shouldn’t have been to electrify individual transport, but to to get rid of it and built up public transportation.

It’s called The Deprogram, for anyone wondering.

I’ve for a while had the idea for a game in my head wherein you can kill people, but the player will really need to get out of their way to do it, and if they do, the game will go great lengths portraying the corpse as something that once was a human that had thoughts, fears, desires and dreams, just like the player, making sure they understand the gravity of what they had just done.

Of course it’s easy to come up with such ideas. What is hard to do is to come up with some good game mechanics to be used in conjunction with that.

From the original report:

Yeah, they often change the street names with the countries.

Ok, I was going to say that it looks like an Onion article, but seems it actually is intended to be something in that direction.

Soon the riots begin, the Mycus grows, New England gets quarantined, animals become larger and more aggressive, otherworldly horrors begin to walk the Earth.

That’s when Musk fires himself.

For software development I would have thought of Lojban (the logical language). It’s supposed to be syntactically unambiguous, so there are even parsers for that language.

Esperanto seems to me kinda… meh. Like, if we are going to do something as ambitious as establishing an IAL, why not shoot for the stars? Why not choose something that by some standard most of us can agree on, is the best of all for the job (not saying Lojban would be one, since it doesn’t even aim to be an IAL)? Let’s say ease of learning was one of the most important criteria: Then toki pona or some other derivative could be something we ought to look at. Or maybe even create and entirely new language. The one thing I see that Esperanto excels in is its popularity, which is useful to avoid the “Why would I learn that language if no one else speaks it?” situation, but I believe we should go beyond that if we have the choice of establishing an IAL.

Be thankful it was a signed integer. Otherwise we’d have to deal with eighteen trillion, four-hundred and forty-six thousand billion, seven-hundred and forty-four billion, seventy-three thousand million, seven-hundred and nine million, five-hundred and fifty one thousand, six-hundred and fifteen comments.

Wait, why is this happening? How did the bots get through the verification process (or are they from some instance lemmygrad is federating with that doesn’t have that verification?), also why this specific post? What’s so special about this one post showing a tweet with this weird outlook to the world that I don’t think anyone else has?

On the 25th of April 1974 the Armed Forces Movement crowned the long resistance and reflected the deepest feelings of the Portuguese people by overthrowing the fascist regime.

Freeing Portugal from dictatorship, oppression and colonialism represented a revolutionary change and the beginning of an historic turning point for Portuguese society.

The Revolution restored their fundamental rights and freedoms to the people of Portugal. In the exercise of those rights and freedoms, the people’s legitimate representatives are gathered to draw up a Constitution that matches the country’s aspirations.

The Constituent Assembly affirms the Portuguese people’s decision to defend national independence, guarantee citizens’ fundamental rights, establish the basic principles of democracy, ensure the primacy of a democratic state based on the rule of law and open up a path towards a socialist society, with respect for the will of the Portuguese people and with a view to the construction of a country that is freer, more just and more fraternal.

Meeting in plenary sitting on 2 April 1976, the Constituent Assembly does hereby pass and decree the following Constitution of the Portuguese Republic:

In the preamble, but I’d say it’s mostly a left-over from the Carnation Revolution (the people had obviously very strong left aspirations back then), coupled with the fact that the term “socialism” only to marxist-leninists has a firm definition and to everyone else means different things. If you look at the constituent assembly that wrote the constitution you’ll see some parties with some left sounding names:

• Socialist Party (116/250 seats)

Not actually socialist in the leninist sense, but social-democratic at best. At the time really liked to surround itself with the æsthetics of socialism.

• Democratic People’s Party (today called the Social Democratic Party) (81/250 seats)

Not actually social-democratic.

• Portuguese Communist Party (30/250 seats)

Repressed by and opposer of the New State. It existed even before the end of the first republic, being the oldest still existing portuguese party. It is a marxist-leninist party and had a big role in what would happen right after the 25th of April. One could accuse it of being revisionist, like some once US funded parties do, but I’m not going to do that since I do not know enough about the party.

• Some other parties (CDS-PP (Democratic and Social Center - People’s Party (lol)), MDP/CDE (no longer exists), UDP (also no longer exists), ADIM (Macau is no longer a Portuguese colony)),

Sorry, about that I was typing from (my very bad) memory. :D

Play it, Mr. Toot!

Not going to justify the HN stupidity, but it is my opinion the original poster should have linked joinlemmy.ml, instead of an instance of Lemmy (lemmy.ml). Because the topic of the discussion should be the Lemmy network, rather than the lemmy.ml instance. One should avoid spreading the misconception that Lemmy and lemmy.ml are the same thing.

There are also spices that exist merely to give a smoky aroma, for anyone who misses it. Rauchige Fetsau is one that comes to my head (which is smoked paprika, unlike what the name suggests).

The cause may be this:

The definition they give is indeed different.

Anarquismo. Corriente político-social,hostil a todo poder político o jerárquico entendido como control social y voluntad que se le impone al individuo . El anarquismo bajo concepciones políticas tiene como objetivo promover un cambio social hacia una sociedad mas justa,según principios anarquistas, respecto a la sociedad con proposiciones como la igualdad,el voluntarismo,el derecho económico y otras que se oponen entre las diversas corrientes anarquistas.

The image may have taken the information from the section «Diferencias de marxistas y anarquistas»:

Las diferencias esenciales de los criterios de los marxistas y anarquistas las redujo Lenin a tres puntos fundamentales:

• En que los primeros, cuyo fin es la destrucción completa del Estado, reconocen que este fin sólo puede alcanzarse después de que la revolución socialista haya suprimido las clases como resultado de la instauración del socialismo. Los segundo, en cambio quieren destruir por completo el Estado de la noche a la mañana, sin comprender las condiciones en que puede realizarse esta destrucción.
• En que los primeros reconocen la necesidad de que el proletariado, después de conquistar el poder político, destruya totalmente la vieja máquina del Estado, sustituyéndola por otra nueva. Los segundos propugnan la destrucción de la máquina del Estado y tiene una idea absolutamente confusa de con qué ha de sustituir es máquina el proletariado y de cómo ejercerá esté el poder revolucionario. Los anarquistas rechazan incluso la utilización del poder estatal por el proletariado revolucionario.
• En que los primeros demandan que el proletariado se prepare para la revolución aprovechando el Estado moderno, mientras que los anarquistas lo rechazan.

Although there are some overlaps in the the things said, it seems to me they might have used an older version of the article (specifically due to the subordination of the working class to the bourgeois politics part).

For anyone interested there’s also a WIP Minetest game inspired in this SCP.

When the integer that holds the gas price overflows.

That’s not correct. Debian distributes both SystemD and sysvinit. Any use that does not want to use SystemD can install the latter.

Then I was mistaken. Sorry. Seems like they were bothered by the fact that systemd was going to be the default (and some more things).

This is in no way a Debian-specific topic.

I know, but OP mentioned “Duvian” which sounds very close to Devuan, which made me think that’s maybe what they mean.

I think they may be referring to Systemd, which is not proprietary, but an init system very heavily criticized by some people. When Debian switched over to Systemd, there was fork made called Devuan that doesn’t use systemd. But I think the init system used by a distro shouldn’t be too much of a concern for a first time user. Instead they should try some popular and easy to use distro at first and then switch over to something that better suits their needs, tastes and concerns, in my opinion.

Unlikely, but they may also be referring to the fact that Stallman doesn’t endorse Debian: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.en.html (though neither does he endorse a lot of other distros OP mentioned that are a lot worse in that regard)
