Make Sweden (pre-christian) Viking Again!

It is high in crowtein.

For some reason the quotes around the word free make it seem not satirical to me.

fragile.

You could put them on a fixed awning, but you generally don't want solar cells flopping around, being vibrated or moving at all if you can help it

I use Linux because it is free and good enough to do most stuff I want to do on a computer.

I use windows at work because I get paid - so from my perspective it is cheaper than free. It makes it frustrating to do the stuff I'm supposed to do but my employers are fucking idiots so it doesn't really matter.

I already assumed aur was riddled with stuff like that.

Use a condom when fucking around in there.

why?

Thanks that makes some sense. I think the thing is they've been effective in the past, and not much else has. Maybe there has to be some sort of sacrifice to gain progress.

I guess some of the postwar progressive (economic) reforms - largely now abolished - were actually a product of democractic pressure rather than protest - but some of the other ones like anti-racism stuff still did require sacrifice and protest on top of that. And the prevailing economic conditions were quite extreme at that time. When people have less to lose there's less cost.

What's your opinion on strike action ?

Who is this mythical average user I keep hearing about?

I've never had a problem forcing people at work - even those with very limited IT knowledge - to run things from cli in windows.

For years in one place I worked the IT support first line solution was to tell all users to force a gp update from the windows cli. They'd point to a nice little how to guide with screenshots and everything. I don't know if any of the thousands of people working there were the all important average user either though, probably not.

Plausible, these AI learned from typical human garbage not from actual study.

Surely that can be OPs choice.

If a user has a large number of programmes they might not want to hand hold updates of all of them each time.

If they choose only the handful they want from arch repo or aur then they might have a quicker update and find it easier to stay awake.

I'd think it should be up to them if they want to trade off bloat vs the burden of an update.

I find, especially for AUR stuff the update can become vexatious.

Would a flatpak would survive this update? I do use arch on some computers but with several flatpaks for some applications that I feel will be safer - but i don't really know.

Maybe i just update and see what happens.

Primary color mixing charts, aka an excellent way to cause a bayesian to shift their posterior about overlapping circle diagrams.

Communication is a two way street.

Good communicators need to learn to pick up on how their speech lands, and learn how to adapt a little accordingly.

I doubt the internet is a good place to learn that skill. It takes a lot of real world practice, and a lot of people still get it wrong from time to time, way into adulthood.

But you should do whatever you like for yourself. But just try to be sensitive to the audience and prepared to adjust if you start to see reactions that you don't like.

'Fruit de la mere' is obviously just some attempted tax dodge.

Sounds like some deliberately obscure concentrations of power.

The fear bit is really problematic though as scared people are not ideal decision makers.

There's been investment bubbles, overshooting and disingenuous rent seeking in many economies before. It was temporarily reduced in many western economies by various FDR type policies in the '30s-'60s. The '70s and '80s were just the banks wresting back their freedom to implement market "rationality". And we get the benefits ever since.

People do keep voting for it though so it is hard to argue they're not satisfied. Even the ones who protest vote don't seem to see the "investment" markets as any part of the problem; or as important at all. That's either some pretty effective demagoguery, or some dumb fucking electorate.

Upvote for unpopular. i love football, playing it. Fucking shite spectator sport, why d'you want to watch more of it. Get a ball, go to park, have more fun.

Yes. Box+whiskers plot or something like that.
