Thank you for answering.
I am not sure where to start, but let’s take the easy way: At the moment of writing, the wikipedia page “Persecution of Uyghurs in China” has 585 references.
They’re probably all written by seemingly independent institutions, journalists and scientists who somehow have a McCarthyist-like fear of communism that they’d risk their credibility just to add a bit of damage to communist China’s moral standing?
Or are they all factually incorrect through some other mechanism?
The communism preference, yes. As for the CCP: They literally denied Uyghur persecution. Not even genocide, which is a claim that, due to its severity, is always going to be hard to prove, and thus debatable, I get that.
But even just the fact that the ethnic-religious group of Uyghurs are being persecuted on a large scale, had to be denied. That’s pretty extreme.
I understand your desire to defend communism.
But really, how far does an authoritarian regime have to go, while calling itself communist, before you judge them?
What evidence would change your mind about the CCP?
Check CompassRed’s comment above.
The definition part of the wikipedia article has a table with these “nice relationships for addition and scaling”. You will see that they also hold for many kinds of functions, such as polynomials and other more abstract things than points and directions in 2D or 3D. N-dimensional vectors for example, or using complex numbers, or both.
Ah yeah that looks perfect, just get WayBlue Hyprland then! That sounds like exactly what you need.
No need to mess about with user services in systemd and display manager config.
NixOS
Alternatively (speculating here), you might be able to use Nix to install Hyprland onto an existing immutable distro like Silverblue.
Nix people please chime in!
Good point. I guess you’re right, there are no flattering roles. But each of those options you list would have been less on top of existing prejudices.
Making her the (non-technical) project manager whose only contribution is “how many story points is that?”, who’s then silenced because “this is important!”, confirms the typical prejudices about women in tech:
Especially being talked over. This matches many women’s experiences in men-dominated environments to a T.
I’d much rather the technically competent, important but socially weird engineer (Jared) be the woman, or the incompetent boss, who’s in charge and calls the shots. Even having no women in the skit would be better than this Cindy role.
Or, weird idea I know, multiple people with different roles being women. 🙄
We all get frustrated with scrum at times, but not all of us use TTS to make a casually sexist skit about it.
Unlike most houses, in mine the Fox won’t change the default browser.
The most mind-blowing moment I’ve ever had was the course Relativistic Electrodynamics.
If you assume static electricity (charges attract or repel), then apply special relativity to see what the situation looks like to an observer travelling by, you get magnetism!
Turns out half of Maxwell’s laws is a direct consequence of the other half once you know about special relativity.
I have never heard of WattOS but that sounds terrible.
It seems like antiX is a systemd-free Debian flavor.
If you want systemd, why not just use Debian? Or, if you are looking for a nice preconfigured DE/WM, any of a number of Debian/Ubuntu derivatives.
Mint for best out of the box setup, Pop!_OS for tiling, Zorin OS if you’re looking for a funky styling, any of the Ubuntu derivatives for the major DEs: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.
The meme is great, but I don’t understand the bottom text.
Is OP saying they’re completely unaware of systemic sexism in academia?
I wish I had a fraction of that positivity.
Great post! Completely agree! I will add that for filling out PDF Forms, Okular is amazing!
I feel you. What helped me was learning about growth mindset and fixed mindset. It doesn’t magically cure it, but it does help to know why you feel that way and how untrue that reason is.
I didn’t read the whole book of course, but there’s tons of exec summaries and short talks on it that can help to understand it.
chezmoi does basically that, without actually making your home dir a git repo, it just syncs it. It also supports templating and per-machine differences. Pretty cool really.
SMB is originally Windows tech. So it might not play nicely with file modes?
Ever heard of a French guy called René Descartes? He basically wrote the script for this movie, The Matrix, a few hundred years before they started shooting it.
And since we’re on the topic, if we’re borrowing things from Android I would love to have the application sandboxing and permissions. I think they’d be a much bigger benefit – to all distros, immutable or not.
Flatpaks and Wayland should fill out this part nicely.
Yes, you are right.
The old stuff, now no longer supported, is:
