I hear anti-communists bring it up with an unfortunate frequency, usually with some odd misunderstandings. Also usually mentioning features of Fichte.

It's my understanding that since Beshehr is a light water reactor, it can't be used effectively for the creation of nuclear weapons, and that in addition to that Russia provides enriched fuel, and removes spent fuel.

Weapons either come from enriched Uranium (Fordow) or Plutonium (non-operational Arak).

Dating apps seem to work a lot better for the queers than for the straights.

The funny thing is that it's a lawsuit in New York, about New York voting machines. A state Kamala won. So the results of the suit actually don't matter.

I find it annoying when people compare the No Kings protests to Gandhi, because he didn't just show up to protests, that was really one of the least important things he did.

He instigated strikes, the non-payment of taxes, and boycotts. Libs aren't doing any of those.

None of the senior Walton's have endorsed Trump, and the family has quite famously given money to both sides. I haven't found any Waltons condemning Christy over this, though maybe they wouldn't publicize it. I don't think it's a huge break from the family.

That's somewhat true, but also the vast majority of financing for Indivisible, who organized these protests, came from billionaires foundations. These protests would never have happened without them.

Indivisible "reports 73 percent of its funding came in the form of “major gifts” or from foundations. Additionally, it reports that one of its donors consisted of 23 percent of its funding", from https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/the-indivisible-project-indivisible

Besides all that, if a billionaire is backing it, it's sort of a sign that it's quite a centrist movement.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

tbh we probably should de-federate, but I'm feeling a little contrarian.

I'm not entirely sure it's appropriate, but I found it funny

 

Yeah, I know they are ancient roman symbols that have been and are used in contexts unrelated to Fascism. More of an example of Fascists being unoriginal. Whatever.

 

I've had an amazing time with it so far. It's so easy to package for (I haven't contributed a package upstream, but I'm working on it). There's like two places you put your configs (/etc/config.scm and .config/guix) and it all just works. Like, I'm not even an emacs user, I don't really use Lisp much, but it's just such a pleasure to work with. I haven't really had any issues with firmware or anything proprietary (old thinkpads ftw), but nonguix and flatpak exist to fix that.

Really the only issue I have is that some software is behind by a version or two, and some things I use haven't been put in the channel yet (but it seems everything I use regularly is either a patch being worked on or already working).

It took a little bit for it all to click, but after finding the cookbook and looking through others configs, it made a lot of sense.

All that said, I'm a bit too committed to Arch to switch my main machine. Hopefully soon though.
