My eyes get tired easily. I have tried dark mode a few times and it just gets worse. I need a bright room and a pale yellow background (#fffedf) for editing text. Also that's why ed(1) is the best editor, if I can't see the content of the file there's less text to get tired from. taps temple
In the summer, those stacks of wooden boxes beekeepers use can contain around 60k bees. It's a quite normal amount of bees in a bee hive. When it gets colder and the season ends it goes down to maybe 20k bees. At least that's what a bee keeper told me once. We were looking at returning bees who were not let in by the guard bees because they were not needed anymore.
I agree that speech that incites violence is dangerous too. In theory I can imagine a net benefit if we could silence some voices in various places. The big question then is, who do we trust to decide which people should be silenced? I think governments have historically shown that they can't be trusted. Then private people? Lots of people across the political spectrum feel that their version of truth is so important that they deem it moral to silence others, so what it comes down to is just who does it better. The image of an angry mob is no fun if the mob has decided that you should be silenced, even though you feel like you're on the good side. They probably think they are the good ones. Who then?
As long as the consequences are words and non-violent actions. Advocating violence as a consequence for someone expressing an idea is imho dangerous and should be avoided.
I think we have the same terminology then, we also call them "flyttblock". Is there a story behind them being called Devil's rock? It sounds very finnish to me to be honest.
The ice sheet covering northern europe started to melt away, and with that we got what is called "glacial erratics". Rocks had traveled from once place to another, and then settled. In Sweden we call those "giants throw", because it was assumed that the only way those big rocks could be where they are was if a giant had thrown it.
If you dip the nib directly into the ink, there will be too much ink at the tip of the nib, which makes it hard to do hairlines or thin strokes. The trick is to fill the reservoir or nib further up with a small brush.
I'm genuinely worried sometimes that a Ken hack has been introduced. I don't know by who, but possibly some government agency. Then again, we also have a Minix system built into the CPU doing god knows what and we just accept that.
I wanted to try inserting and removing kernel modules, so I looked around and thought "well, I don't have a USB stick in right now so I can safely try removing the usb kernel module." So I did that, and after pressing enter I realized my keyboard is connected with USB.
That's a GPL point of view. Most BSD users I've talked to prefer a more permissive license. Theo said: "GPL fans said the great problem we would face is that companies would
take our BSD code, modify it, and not give back. Nope -- the great
problem we face is that people would wrap the GPL around our code, and
lock us out in the same way that these supposed companies would lock
us out. Just like the Linux community, we have many companies giving
us code back, all the time. But once the code is GPL'd, we cannot get
it back. Ironic."
In the way most people use the term today I'd say they mean a non-sexual relationship. However, if we go back to Symposium I'd say that non-sexualness is not enough to warrant a relationship being called platonic. Plato argues that the love for truth is the highest love, and people united in this love for truth is then a platonic relationship. We could argue now that platonic relationships are about unification in love for truth, not about food or sleep or sex for example. But presumably Plato ate food when he was hungry and slept when he was tired, so in the same way there is in his argument nothing that rules out sex. Much later, Tina Turner sang "What's love got to do with it?" and thus contributed to a 2300 year old debate on love and Eros.
The only way we've been able to reach the admin(s?) in the past has been to ssh into an sdf server and posting on the internal BBS. My bet would be that they are not using Discord or similar.
