Well, it's SVT, the swedish tax funded national tv. I think it's more the case that they fundamentally don't understand the people who were part of the Pirate Bay.

When a grid's misaligned
with another behind
That's a moiré

When the spacing is tight
And the difference is slight
That's a moiré

Aha, thanks, just wondering. English isn't my first language.

Is that (non)-(tech nerd) or (non-tech) (nerd) partner?

[-] pmk 1 points 1 day ago

It's interesting to see the consonants follow a pattern like this. In swedish it's fack, with a harder k-sound, and many words are like this comparing germanic words.

Aha, tack. Jag är svensk men har ofta tänkt att jag vill åka över till norge för att se hur det är där.

Is there another rut that isn't hurtig?

Vi and later editors added a lot of commands, but if you want to keep the spirit of ed(1) and bring it into a visual context, I'd say sam(1) is the true successor. It's what Ken Thompson used after ed, and Brian Kernighan. There are some people who at least are interested in ed today, this book is good for example: https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/ed/

It comes with both fvwm and cwm, and you can install all the usual ones or a full desktop environment. Personally I like cwm in the minimalist end and xfce for more of a full desktop, but it's all just preferences. Which one do you like in Linux?

[-] pmk 2 points 3 days ago

OpenBSD is surprisingly good as a desktop, as long as you don't need something that needs shoehorning in or some fancy filesystem. But if you use it as intended, it's good. Like, there's no linux compatibility, no proprietary nvidia drivers, etc. You probably want to switch away from the default window manager though unless you think perfection was reached in the early 90s.

People associate blackletter fonts with nazis, which is a little ironic since Hitler disliked and even made it illegal to use blackletter in 1941, calling it "jewish letters".

Iirc, micronutrients and HIV prevention, followed by preventing malaria. The idea is that we spend a little money now, to make many people grow up and be healthy, which avoids big costs to societies while at the same time generating people who can contribute more to the same societies. Many people want to solve the climate first, but it's very expensive for very little return. In an ideal world we would solve all the problems, but... we don't. So if we have limited resources, we should spend it where it does most long-term good. It's not a bad idea to do good things for the climate, but if we have to choose between things to do, it gives little benefit per dollar compared to other things.

... what should we do?
I guess it all depends on how it would be implemented, which is something I have a hard time imagining at this moment. How do you imagine day to day online life in a post-Chat Control EU world? Which ways of communicating would still be private? Is there anything we can do at this point to prepare for the worst outcome?

Pi Pico and ESP32 (self.microcontrollers)
submitted 6 months ago by pmk to c/microcontrollers@lemux.minnix.dev

I've been trying to navigate the differences and limitations in practice between the Arduino Nano ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico, and I'm at a point where I just want to get one of them and start experimenting. Possibly some other brand ESP32. My goal is to learn micropython and hopefully make some simple projects. My question is: is there a big difference for a beginner which I get in terms of online resources and ease of use, any pitfalls to be aware of or useful tips?

Turns out a misaligned mirror made the laser hit the lens in a weird way, and then bouncing off something on the way out to produce this double line. Probably. What kind of strange troubleshooting have you done and what was the reason/fix?

About the bear... (self.mensliberation)
submitted 7 months ago by pmk to c/mensliberation@lemmy.ca

So, I'm just assuming we've all seen the discussions about the bear.
Personally I feel that this is an opportunity for everyone to stop and think a little about it. The knee-jerk reaction from many men seems to be something along the lines of "You would choose a dangerous animal over me? That makes me feel bad about myself." which results in endless comments of the "Akchully... according to Bayes theorem you are much more likely to..." kind.
It should be clear by now that it doesn't lead to good places.
Maybe, and I'm open to being wrong, but maybe the real message is women saying: "We are scared of unknown men."
Then, if that is the message intended, what do we do next? Maybe the best thing is just to listen. To ask questions. What have you experienced to make you feel that way?
I firmly believe that the empathy we give lays a foundation for other people being willing to have empathy for the things we try to communicate.
It doesn't mean we should feel bad about ourselves, but just to recognize that someone is trying to say something, and it's not a technical discussion about bears.
What do you think?

Congratulations to Andreas!
It seems like he has lots of ideas for how to improve things in packaging, and for communicating with other distros. Debian is a big ship to steer, and I personally hope the leader can facilitate people working together to reach our goals.

For example, I'm using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it "friendlier" for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be "the universal operating system".
I also think we could learn website design from.. looks at notes ..everyone else.
