Is it the same system that created omnipresent and blatant corruption Xi's been purging locally for the last decade?

I say locally because exploitation and cultivation of corruption is still the basis for their relations with developing countries.

Idea: Debian + Nix == stable and funky fresh

I first came across Declarative Package Management in the manual. So I started making these packages based on it.

The install works (nix-env -iA nixpkgs.my-emacs), but nix-env -u doesn't update changes (adding and removing packages from the paths). Do I need to reinstall my- packages to get updates as well? Does nix-env -u update package definitions (apt update)?

After that I came across zero-to-nix. This approach wasn't mentioned at all in the quick start, and I came across comments that people shouldn't use nix-env anymore. Should I create flakes instead of packages, and export their paths to have them available globally?

How do you use Nix to manage your packages? Do you have any examples?

nix-env/nix profile/home-manager?

Like, okay, even if I BLATANTLY ran it I can't even justify 200 fucking dollars for it.

In my third world country that would cost you at least twice as much, and you'd also lose your licence for at least 3 months.

But on the other hand the traffic cams won't record you unless all 4 of your wheels were in front of the traffic lights when they turned red.

The whole Kosovo thing was about creating military bases on Kosovo and smuggling Afghan heroin from Turkey into Europe. They slowly started pulling out of Kosovo after they pulled out of Afghanistan, but Albanians took that as an opportunity to even more blatantly break treaties, and Serbs started getting riled up because on top of all the bullshit they're also occasionally getting shot at in the streets. So now USA is sending in some NATO big shots to do something (probably prove that shooting at Serbs is genocide against Albanians or some other bs).

Article on the war in Ukraine

First two paragraphs are about how Serbians kill children

I guess we know where NATO wants to go next...

Go north a bit and there are 2 competing criteria to get free university education:

  • you're in top % of your class

  • you've collected a certain number of points by passing courses

I've seen both in action, and the top student model is pretty shit because it encourages backstabbing instead of solidarity. Even if there's no direct backstabbing, people are less likely to help their colleagues because it can negatively impact them.

A small group of extremely powerful people being the only ones who can save the world is capitalist propaganda no matter if it's superheros or magical ninjas.

Don't forget that Ubuntu was the first distro to both sell user data to Amazon, and show you ads in the terminal. But it seems like everyone forgets about it as soon as canonical goes "whoops, our bad, we didn't think you'd mind, it's opt in/out now".

On top of that I've seen allegations that they're illegally collecting data from Azure Ubuntu users to send them spam about Ubuntu enterprise.

Coffee was never too bad for me, beer on the other hand is pure hell.

Meat stickers that detect ammonia and block the barcode if the meat has spoiled.

The stopwatch is only working while it's on the screen and the screen is active. Notifications stay there until you manually discard them. The heart rate sensor is a complete toy since you can only manually trigger it, and it took 2 years for the infinitime devs to read the sensor docs and realise their algorithm is bad. The step counter can only automatically sync, so when it fails to do so for half a day you need to walk around and shake your wrist while keeping you phone and watch screens active. And the list of fails continues beyond that.

On top of that it costs 65€ ($75) when ordering from the European warehouse, and they don't allow you to order from the main one because it would end up cheaper. Don't waste your money unless you need a reason to practice cpp.

OP: I've tried mint tea, what other drink do you suggest?

You: if you want an interesting cocktail, try a mix of ayahuasca and peyote.
