Don't know much about this whole story but I just find it funny that these YouTubers have come to peddling lunchables to their fanbases.

I have a PhD in economics. Saying that the field "pledges" to be able to predict the future is pretty disingenuous. You'd be hard pressed to find any serious researcher in the field with that level of delusion.

The hair absolutely slays me

The quote you chose from that source is a bit misleading. 7.6 million voting eligible people in Georgia. Still an insane amount of votes to count.

Perhaps not in as much need as TIA, but I like the concept behind https://academictorrents.com/ and seed what I can

Changelog media is another good source to complement this rec. Longer form, as opposed to breaking news, conversations about many OSS related (and software development in general) topics. Some of their now defunct programs like Request For Commits were some of my favorites.

Anyone have any good readings or discussions on what Google Play policies are being cited here as the major obstacle? Just curious to learn more.

Edit: 20 testers policy? Sounds onerous.

I feel productive just looking at this. Well done.

Steal away! That's actually something I've been wanting to change lately. I've used the same basic config for so long.

Respectfully disagree. I've been waking up to Chum Lair from the Sable video game OST for a couple years now. I wake up in a good mood because me and my girlfriend think it's absolutely ridiculous and hilarious.

Ah now I understand where you're coming from a little better.

Yeah I guess this particular article about a major event didn't seem as egregious to me.

I love how you basically made a TUI by combining existing tools. Doing something useful without reinventing the wheel.

Well said!

Gorgeous! What's the image in the lower right terminal? Random? Or still from something animated?

Well said

It serves a web GUI

The reality is that virtually all widely used modern codebases contain at least some open source code (source).

I've been reading some more and I definitely want to give guix a spin. I guess that's the advantage of nix as a tool: you can always install alongside your distro's package manager if desired.

I hear you. I find that some tools work great for me as CLIs (e.g. git, sys admin tools), andothers are more just for fun that I don't find myself using as much as proper apps or web clients (i.e. Spotify, RSS readers, email). It really just depends for me.

added some borders and changed the hover effect. looks like this now in the main branch

I've been playing around with it some more today so you might want to look at the latest few commits to find something you like best.

Thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea. If someone wants to point me towards an active/popular fork of this repo, I'm happy to add that to this post.

Thank you! I'll add these to the original post (and hopefully this comment is upvoted to the top)

Love a nice cool green theme! everforest?

At first I was like how bunch upon second thought, there's a bit of addition by subtraction here.

I'll have to give it a try. There are ways to get non-free software on guix? Is it just not officially part of the distro?

My point is more about public servants, such as the justice system, government officials, etc. not doing a good job. Everyone loses in this case. I'm not at all against government spending. It's just really unfortunate that (1) this woman's life was ruined and (2) we as a society also have to foot that bill.

Should Warped Tour not be a thing simply because Vans runs it?

Where is the advertising? I read the article more about a tour rather than an ad op for Vans

Can't remember the last concert I went to that wasn't a money making venture and wasn't advertised for me to hear about it somehow.

Sure, Vans undoubtedly benefits from exposure. But so do music fans who want to see they favorite bands, and the bands that tour to make money.

Not at all. I agree that's what tax funds are for and ought to be spent when necessary. I'm just making a more nuanced point that it's unfortunate that government officials and the justice system not doing a proper job has led to two adverse outcomes.

Looks great! How do you find guix as an OS overall?

Not to mention, damages paid by governments don't just come out of thin air. Contemporary taxpayers shoulder the burden, in some way, for the misdeeds of previous generations. An unfortunate reality. At the same time, I wholeheartedly agree that this woman deserves some form of additional restitution. It just becomes very tricky who actually bears that cost.
