It’s so intimidating how fast Primagen is with Vim. Wish I had the time and his stamina to learn a fraction of what he does with motions. He once said he kinda cringes when he has to watch people using a regular IDE.

Anyways. Vim nerds may despise this but I’d never would try to tailor my own Neovim config. I straight up started with LazyVim. Still not free from confusing elements but after I jotted down all my most needed motions and used them over and over, it is approximately usable. Still fuck up some motions and end up with gibberish, still faster with a regular IDE, but I now would know my way around Vim, if no other editor would be around.

What the community has accomplished to create within a TUI is astounding. Equally the amount of work that has gone into plugins. Code completition and debugging support, e.g. for Rust is excellent.

Not in this case. The advise was given by democrats and is directly opposed to the interests of MAGA and fossil fuel interests. The bad advise actually came from other EU states.

“When Iran gets into the news, especially with anything to do with war,” says religious historian Diana Butler Bass, “it’s a prophetic dog whistle to evangelicals.”

Last year a lot of those crazies proclaimed via social media, that the rapture was imminent and prepared themselves by undressing, writing last messages to the sinners who’ll be left behind or they even sold their homes. Can’t remember but it could actually have been when the 12 days war with Iran happened.

This rapture thing already should’ve happened a few times, just like with every end times prophecy. The fact the orange menace is in bed with the ultraorthodox christian movements (Dominionists, Seven Mountain Mandate) is well know since his first presidency. Same with their believes about the end-times. That he seems more like the anti christ is no problem for them as they believe, as stated in the article, that god will choose a flawed vessel for the mission.

But also the sugar and fat part has pretty serious consequences in parts of the world like Diabetes type 2 and the displacement of traditional cooking and is linked to political issues like lobbying. This long NYT article from 2017 about Nestles manipulation of eating habits in poor comunities in Brazil shows the impact (don’t know if it has gotten better, though). Even obese people can be malnutritioned and once you aquired Diabetes Type 2 it can only be remedied, not cured.

Yesterday on reddit I saw a photo a patient shot over the shoulder of his doctor of his computer monitor. It had ChadGPT full with diagnosis requests.

No Donny, these men are nihilists. There’s nothing to be afraid of.

You can find the original quote in the examples section.

Three Germans. Mentioned in the article. One over a month in a detention center with 8 days of solitary confinement.

Always those inconvenient facts, right?

Why didn’t they bury it in impermeable bedrock then in this case. It will cost the taxpayer 3.7 billion to evacuate the rusty and leaky containers there. Which will probably start in 2033 and last decades. If they don’t get it right the waste will probably leak into groundwater. That was already stated in a report from 1979 but declared as unscientific by managers of the facilitiy. The building time for Olkiluotos Onkalo was 20 years. You can search for other “End Storages” of nuclear waste around the world. Not many of them are even operating now. You can also look up facilities in Arizona making the same mistake as Germany in storing the waste in salt mines. You can also lookup the devastating effects of Uranium mining for the environment (e.g. in Navajo land).

Here’s your baseload argument debunked:

“The beauty of these approaches is that they address one of nuclear power’s biggest weaknesses: the fact that it can only generate electricity in large, all-or-nothing chunks. Many of the above solutions are distributed across the grid, meaning that the simultaneous failure of a few units need not bring down the entire electric grid.”.

Yesterday 58% of the energy in Germany came from renewables. It briefly had a day in January when renewables surpassed 100% of its energy demand. Energy is sold between the member states of the EU. Germany regularily imports about 2-5% of its energy per year. Not because they can’t generate the baseload via coal or gas but because it’s cheaper to buy. Only 0.5% of that imported energy comes from nuclear. The rest is also from renewables.

A bit offtopic but related: Mr. Habeck the previous much scolded economy minister had a big part in the rise of renewables and his further plans would have been to build out hydrogen production via renewables to act as a future CO2 neutral baseload capacity. Now Germany is in the hands of old white men again who want to burn the world. Just yesterday a headline was that the conservatives want to restrict the influence of the buero against monopolies in pursuing suspected cases of price agreements between fossil fuel cooperations.

A dev named funinkina has made an application working alongside the KDE screenshot application spectacle. It’s surprisingly lean code which utilizes tesseract and works fantastically. Just compile, ln -s the app to your bin directory and give it a global shortcut like “CTRL+Shift+Print”.

In the end they are too. Just because they have played through capitalism, live in surreal wealth, implement elaborate plans to play through new game plus of capitalism, they still fail to find the most fun and rewarding play through: The no-kill, stealth, co-op play through.

They are part of humanity but destroy the base of their existence. Where is that not idiotic?

Or when EU farmers transformed Brussels into a warzone [1] or caused havoc and many (also fatal) accidents in Germany [2] and France [3]?

“That’s different. One are terrorists and the others are fighting for you to still have food on your table”.

Ok. Got it. I’ll do my patriotic duty and won’t buy any greenhouse produced veggies from the Netherlands anymore and start drinking German milk again.

[1] AP article about farmer protests in Brussels

[2] Google translated article from “Der Spiegel”

[3] Article from France24 about a fatal car accident

Many protests like that in Germany for a few years now. Mostly adolescent people from XR and FFF who tacked their hands to streets in neuralgic locations with superglue. They were one of the most hated groups by normies here and were compared to the 70s terror group RAF by politicians and boulevard media like BILD. Many videos in which good citizens forgot their temper and acted out in violent self justice when they feared to get late to work.

In 2023 the country wide farmer protests started and held the republic captive. Thousands of 5-10 ton tractors drove down the whole country to Berlin. They did a lot of terroristy things like loading huge manure dumps and logs in the midst of highways and their exits, controlling the IDs of drivers to only let essential staff through, putting liable anti-constitutional placards on their tractors, purposefully obstructing traffic in the cities and some of them from east-germany wanted to storm the parliament. People died, car accidents happened, ambulances and doctors were to late for operations, huge loads of GHGs were emitted and streets were destroyed.

All this because of the traffic light coalition wanted to cut subsidies for agrar fuels which was reverted pretty fast. Did the farmers stop then? Nope of course not. Went on for a few months. Those poor farmers couldn’t afford to live without the precious subsidies but could afford to blow heaps of fuel and not working on their farms. A young farmer tried to prove to the public that they were essentially poor by showing his tax documents on the german finance subreddit. It didn’t went well because he was rich. He deleted his post.

Now from the sentiment on social media you could get the impression that a lot of the normies who wanted to have the “Klimakleber” (climate gluers) jailed or worse, cheered for the poor hard working farmers even when the protest really went violent. I live rurally and boy let me tell you how those poor farmers have plastered their barns and houses with solar panels because of the politics of the greens and the subsidies from the EU.

I think user rumba meant in regards to the OP post…

“it’s been made abundantly clear that a lot of americans have no fucking idea what anyone is talking about”

…that anybody who thought otherwise about the american public has never really talked to its representants.

Whereas I think you understood rumbas’ comment as like he wrote about the people who knew better about the threat of the coming administration failed to communicate it to the average ignorant us citizen. With you replying that those trying to enlighten didn’t have a chance to succeed with that anyway.

Now shake hands and unblock. You’re on the same side.

Kremlin propaganda fell on frugal soil here in Germany. Especially the former GDR. I’d wager most liberals/lefts/social-democrats and even conservatives are pro-Ukraine here. And I’d wager that it’s most of them. I still have hope Musks endeavours can’t break the mental firewalls against fascism German education has tried to build in the heads of people, though it’s definitely broken even in West-Germany.

Diamond Age but the “Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer” advises the young lady to use glue as pizza sauce. The military drones and robots are better now though. Nano assemblers remain a pipe dream.

The AfD in Germany, currently propped up by Musk in the form of Alice Weidel, whose modus operandi is demagoguery wants the Brexit analogue Dexit. She was granted a 15 minute interview by bloomberg a few days ago. Basically every statement was a blantant lie. She proposed free trade regulatories for Germany without being in the EU. Every statement of hers was a lie. And she was frenetically endorsed by EU/German politics oblivious US MAGA heads and Nazis in the comments. All of her proposals would bring Germany and with it possibly huge parts of Europe to its knees and open the door widely for russian interference. I wrote a 6000 character fact-check under the video and garnered 3300 likes for it in one day. Yesterday it was deleted. It was a good run but I think Europe is damned. I partially blame covid brain rot for it.
