Oh, I didn't know that one, it looks interesting. I was quite hyped with GoboLinux because it tried to mitigate the things that annoy me the most in linux, that's how complex is the installing (and uninstalling, mainly) of programs. I mean, you always have the distros' package managers (apt, pacman, aur, yum, ...), compiling by hand and moving or linking to system folders, downloading a binary, flatpak, snap, brew, appimage. When I get to uninstall a program for some reason, I never know how to do it, because I never remember how I installed it.

I'm trying new distros out. I've been using Zorin (basically Ubuntu) for a long time now and getting tired of it.

I tried NixOS woth Hyprland, but I just could plugins to work on the NixOS' default Hyprland install, and installing things I needed to compile it on NixOS was way too hard, so I gave up.

Tried GoboLinux (very unknown, but very cool) with awesome wm, but nothing fucking worked. The bootloader didn't work, after that it's package manager didn't work, after that the touchpad tap didn't work.

I'll try Manjaro now. It would be cool to get Hyprland to work still.

What a horrible day to have a functional eyesight

No, they don't. Flat earthers don't believe in a big universe where planets orbits stars and shit, so this image is kind of a straw man, although it's obviously not serious.

I mean, flat eath is a dumb theory, if I can even call it that, but it is not what is in the image.

This looks like code after being compiled and transpiled from something like Typescript and Babel, it's not what the engineer actually wrote.

For people that are not programmers: this code probably was generated by a program based on a different, supposedly better code. This is done because many browsers will only execute legacy JavaScript, and that is a pain in the ass to work with, so people work with better different languages or newer versions of JavaScript and a program just translates that to the lagacy JavaScript that old browsers will support.

I don't think the problem with Leto's Joker was Leto, but the production and the script

That's not how sharks work also

Of course it's possible. It's highly improbable due to weight, of course, but it's not impossible.

There's a lot of information that was not recorded in fossil, and we have very few fossil recorded, compared to how many animals of a species lived. How we reconstruct existinct animals keeps on changing with every new information, so it's always cool to challenge the way we view a creature.

First we have to convince people here that this is a problem at all. Most people think that the solution to the traffic problem is more roads, more lanes, cheaper cars, and better buses.

The buses are bad? Just make them better. There are too many cars in the streets? Just make better streets

Buses are that bad usually because they are a monopoly or very close to it. The government chooses which company can do public transportation by rigged licitations, and no other company can do it. Then they have no reason at all to do a good job.

Most people seem to have given up on the idea of more train lines. No company can do it, only the government. Every politician promised it, but adding train lines to an existing city is very hard, so none do

Here's the thing: I live in a mid sized city in Brazil. As in America, Brazil is very car centric (thanks, Kubitschek). But there's no trains. The capital city of my state has a single urban train line, and I think it's the only in the whole state, that's as big as France.

Your options here are:

  • use a car and endure the traffic;
  • get a poor planned, crowded and falling apart bus, and endure the traffic, because they rarely have exclusive lanes;
  • get a motorcycle, so you can split lanes and get through the traffic, but risking your life and not being able to carry more than one (adult) person and a handful of small items;
  • or use a bicycle in this very hilly and mountainous place, with close to no infrastructure to make it less risky.

I chose to use a motorcycle (although I couldn't afford one yet because we're poor), but I understand that for anyone with a family, owning a car is not a choice, it's a necessity (and it's a very expensive one)

I'm proud to be one of the warlocks that can harness the magical powers of the stone, although I'm not yet very powerful. I'm not an apprentice, but I have a lot to learn.
