    Yes, I've installed a Runic keyboard on NixOS - what about it?

  • Just learn and use curl instead - I don't think it will ever get paywalled.

  • The View From RSS

    Jump

  • Get RSS Guard if you are still looking for an RSS reader. The RSS feeds will need to be exported to an OPML (XML) file, if you want a backup. That bugs me a little, but from a whole pile of RSS reades, this one and Akregator were the better ones. The rest just tried to adopt a "modern" UI, which means no shortcuts work, and the UI looks shiny, but is barely functional.

  • Gas imports or solar panels?

  • Both? Both.

    Unless you don't mind having no power in the evening/night.

  • Decision to turn back on nuclear was a strategic mistake, EU's Von der Leyen says

  • I'm so happy the Netherlands is going to build 4 of them - yes, solar and wind is cheaper, but Nuclear provides a stable base that doesn't exist with solar and wind, and we are going to need that stable base.

  • It depends on the lens you're using to look at the situation:

    Would you argue that the Dems are not Progressive Liberals?

    They are leftist depending on the definition. Classic left-wing was simply anti-monarch, pro-republic. In that regard the Dems are left wing. Are they Communists/Socialist though? lmao, absolutely not. They are WAY too focussed on social issues, in general.

  • I used to believe in a woman’s right to choose.

    So eh, what did that entail? You have the right to choose, therefore you must choose?

    I have the right to vote, while still having the option to not vote at all, if I so want. Forcing people to vote would just be tyranny.

  • Has there ever been a country without a government that did well in the long run?

    I'm pretty sure that's an awful idea.

  • In Communism "property" gets split by function:

    There is "personal property" - your clothes, toothbrush, phone, bike, house, car, etc.

    "Private property" means any asset that produces something that can be used to extract profit. Think of factories, warehouses, rentals, mines, ships, servers, patents, etc.

    "Common property" are things like community gardens, a public fishery (like a lake).

    "Public/Social property" are usually state-owned, like public roads, the railway, the power grid (usually), etc.

    "State property" also state-owned, but not publicly accessible, like the office buildings where government officials work.

    “If you own a chair and sit on it, that is personal property. If you own a factory and other people work in it while you collect the profit, that is private property.”

    My problem with these definitions is that my personal computer is also my private computer. I can use it to make money, but it's also deeply personal. Then again, Marx could not have anticipated this issue.

  • so I pivoted into druidism

    I think we need a secular form of spirituality (be it heathenism, druidism, paganism, etc), so people can still be spiritually fulfilled, while not following some large-ass church that gets corrupted over time, every damn time.

    It helps that most people in "the west" are becoming more and more secular (as far as I can tell).

  • I quit smoking because I actually want to live beyond 55 - I still remember my neighbour-woman smoking a ciggy, while standing outside with her chemo-drip... Absolutely haunting.
