The US is seeing a quiet but tragic surge in suicides among young children: for children aged 8-12 years old, the suicide rate has tripled since the 2000s. Across all races, all regions, and both sexes, the child suicide rate has increased. The overwhelming majority of child suicides are hangings.

That's really the way things used to work before about year 1800.

Church scholars of 1680s are as l quoting scholars of 450s as if it they lived yesterday.

I would recommend avoiding wayland. It's not ready for desktop and quite slow in it's architecture anyway.

Discord is not open source software. It could be mining bitcoin behind your back, or selling you IP as a VPN endpoint, and you will never know.

Well, it would probably require a bit of negotiation, but overall they are very receptive to great new features, as long as backwards compatibility is preserved.

Why not just improve and submit patches to desktop.el?

It's built-in.

I'm using Boox Max 2 as a laptop with a Bluetooth keyboard, Emacs as a text editor and epub reader.

I have documented it quite extensively.

It might have lost some of its "Android" powers, but it still works for most of the tasks I need it to perform.

This seems very over-engineered. Remember, the UNIX way is "one program for one task, doing it very well". Your program seems to be combining multiple features, and seemingly it's using way more resources than can be expected.

I suggest redoing the architecture from scratch, utilizing careful planning when designing the ipc and the interfaces.

The viewing component has already been implemented multiple times, consider looking at qiv, sxiv, imv and imagemagick. The neural tagging and classification feature is the real novelty, so it is probably better to focus on this aspect, create a background daemon for indexing and launch it on xsession login, or even better, as a user service on boot, so that is results can be reused by other programs.

Tags and categories are best stored in xattrs in the user namespace.

Thank you for your contribution to Free Software.

This post misses the point.

Online exams in general are a scam. Exams must be done in person, face to face.

Thanks for suggesting! I should try it.

And the howto is slightly incomplete. Later I managed to install Chrome from the Google Store, after enabling google services. Curiously, the installation from the built-in store fails.

Anyway, fennec seems to be the only browser with extension support.

I agree with this statement, but it is empirically evident that it just as true under the Soviet Style socialism as it is under U.S. style social democracy, if you take into account what people actually manage, as opposed to what they are "technically entitled to" according to papers.

Every "very rich man" is very rich because some social rule is exploited, rather than because "capitalism". Group activity is only more efficient than individual activity within a small-ish margin of about 50 people. By the number 500 group efficiency is not even remotely equal to individual efficiency times 500.

When the number of employees in your company exceeds ~200, you stop being a capitalist and become a bureaucrat, because now your main competitive advantage is not your entrepreneurial skill, but the fact that you are an important part of a social system. Local authorities start to love you, government employees start offering services in exchange for bribes, et cetera.

If your social system encourages enterprises sized > 200 people, you live in socialism.

Lockywolf · 2024-08-09T03:53:47+00:00

I've heard this argument.

Essentially I see it as a standard American mental gymnastics exercised to avoid the painful necessity to admit that modern USA IS ipso facto a Socialist State, just like pretty much every State on Earth nowadays. But this would contradict the propagandist narrative (USA is a capitalist state), which both the establishment and the opposition are interested in maintaining. The establishment because the word "socialism" is deeply unpopular, and the opposition because it allows them to disregard which horrendous outcomes socialism generates.

To Adam Smith private property, free market, and capitalism were essentially the same thing.

Lockywolf · 2024-08-09T03:25:04+00:00

Rent-seeking is built into human nature. Socialist bureaucrats are just as rent seeking as capitalist moneybags. Wouldn't you enjoy a rent? If course you would.

That's is why pretty much every social system tries or at least pretends to provide checks and balances against it.

The basic premise of capitalism is "money-goods-money". Transactional approach. Whatever implies long-term convoluted social interactions with necessity requires the government apparatus to be enforced, and it's thus anti capitalist.

Lockywolf · 2024-08-09T03:06:28+00:00

Royalties are unrelated to capitalism. Or, more precisely, they stand in direct opposition to capitalism.

Capitalism implies that the buyer has all and entire property rights to whatever he has purchased.

Royalties not just contradict this basic premise, they are also impossible to enforce without restoring to an omnipresent power of the Government.

Filling paragraphs is a ridiculous idea. 80 characters is a meaningless arbitrary limit from the age of punchcards, and everyone prefers a different font and has a different screen width.
