Myanmar’s military regime had the best grip possible on the armed forces by basically making a separate caste to avoid having the soldiers having second thoughts about shooting at their own families.

It’s not going great for them.

Welcome to planet Earth. Anything and everything can and will kill you given the chance. The dominant megafauna has evolved to suffer from congenital paranoia and hoarding to cope with it, which allowed them to conquer every part of the globe despite self destructive tendencies. Enjoy your trip.

It depends how you use the moment. I like Die Zeit’s article about it (in German, paywall can be bypassed with archive websites). They use it as on opportunity to discuss the context where it was made - an extreme right political event - and expose how mainstream media has helped normalizing nazi symbology by amplifying the gaslighting.

Starting?

Christine Lemmer-Webber (the lead author of the ActivityPub standard) published an article explaining why bluesky is not truly decentralised and how it is different from activitypub.

Funny enough, that’s also the reason that democracy is always in the brink of collapse.

Portugal, but I would be surprised if it’s much different in the rest of western Europe.

In my home country the only debts that can’t be cancelled by a personally bankruptcy are debts to social security, taxes, and credits acquired through fraud.

The caveat is that court will take over your personal finances and property for 3 years and try to pay as much debts as possible before the process is finished.

Nice comment that ignores the fact that hate speech actively harms people.

It also ignores that there are recognized limits to free speech everywhere - try to discuss the best way to murder someone in public and see what happens.

Human rights are supposed to protect human dignity, so free speech, like any other right, needs to be interpreted in that light.

That’s an understatement, it would also add a bunch of alcohol and all kinds of sugars and proteins inside every single cell. I bet that would instantly mess up every single biological process.

Is this about the real estate dealer that’s going to pave over what’s left of a country to make Mediterranean resorts?

Oh no, poor Zuckerberg, what is going to do after he’s fired? He has no marketable skills at all.

Dionysus was the god of wine-making not booze, so even if you mix pantheons, if anyone in the Greek Pantheon would have a conflict with anything related with cereals it would be Demeter, but her responsibility ended at harvest so it’s fine. Zeus uses thunderbolts as weapons but they are made by Hephaestos, so electronics would be on the latter’s sphere.

The cli, kind of. But everything is 10 years outdated by default, the filesystem is not case sensitive, there are no containers, and, to rub salt into the wound, if you are on ARM MacOS only let’s you run two mac VMs per physical machine, even though the hardware supports way more.

It’s basically the IT equivalent to buying a professional tool from Wish or Temu.

And the current poster child for Gen X is Elon Musk.

That’s why you should always request instructions in writing, and always document your objections in a polite but clear way.
