  • Mamdani Appoints NYC’s First Openly Gay Fire Commissioner

    Jump

  • It's good to know that literally every fire from now on will be "because they're gay", as though there have never been fires before 🙄

  • Maybe not a teen thing, but among children I think "because 789" could bring 789 into the discussion.

  • Anna’s Archive Backed Up Spotify, Plans to Release 300TB Music Archive * TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • If instead of a giant omnibus torrent they put a folder structure on IPFS, it would be essentially a fully available streaming Spotify clone with the ability for people to "pin" tracks or albums or artists to have them stay locally on their device...

    Just saying...

  • I don't know what this pic of Ron Perlman has to do with anything. Maybe he's one of the good ones!

  • Spain to launch €60 monthly nationwide public transport pass

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I understand. Like right now I believe I've heard that Germany has a 60€ pass or something. How does that prevent demand from surging? Wouldn't the people who can't afford a car be the ones they would have more trouble with the 60€? Presumably the car people could pay for fare already.

    Though it is true that they aren't, and maybe the idea is that they would ride the free train, because any price is enough to keep them as "car people"?

  • Right... but isn't the whole point of these passes to encourage people to use the systems?

    I guess it's possible the price is chosen such that it encourages the right number of people and no more?

  • I agree!

  • Given your tone and general panic, I'm going to say don't look into Guix. It's technically interesting, but I don't think it's for you where you're at. 😛

    And I mean this with love, not gatekeeping.

  • For hundreds, if not thousands, of years now nerds and their like have been saying "sports is dumb and boring and stupid" and for hundreds, if not thousands, of years now something like 40% of the population has loved them vehemently.

    Might be worth someone looking into why someday...

  • The True North Strong and Free

    Jump

  • I mostly agree, but I'll also admit something embarrassing: the first time I heard one, I didn't recognize the names of any of the groups or treaties mentioned, despite living in the area most of my adult life. So in that sense it educated me, and made it so their names are names I now recognize.

    Sure, I could have looked it up, should have looked it up, but I didn't. And now I know.

  • Spain to launch €60 monthly nationwide public transport pass

  • I'm curious about these, this one and the German one people talk about. Obviously the price is meant to be a good price, but at that price why not just make it free? Do so many people buy the pass that it actually makes a noticeable income? Or is it just to keep very poor people from having it?

  • PBS is "the propaganda"?

    Jump

  • It's really easy! If you imagine that a black person and a white person could never be friends or spend positive time together, and then you saw a show that had them together, you might conclude the show is trying to convince you something is okay that you know is not. Propaganda.

    If you imagine that a gay person is inherently wrong, and that bad things deserve to happen to them as punishment for their choices, and then you watch a show where a gay person is happy and normal and respected, you might conclude the show is trying to push an idea on you that you already know isn't right. Propaganda.

    It's sad, and dangerous, but it's not complicated.

    I mean, pushing pennies up my nose is a transferable skill in that I could push pennies up anyone else's nose, and I could even make a whole TV career out of a show where I push pennies up people's noses on the street.

    So I'll instead amend my statement to say that guile isn't a common or often sought after skill. 😉

  • NixOS (and GuixSD) is a whole operating system. But base guix and Nix is a package manager that you can install into any existing distro and use for as many or as few packages as you want.

    So you can give it a shot in roughly no time, is what I'm saying.

    The main difference between the full system ones and the package manager ones is obviously that it manages system level packages and the kernel, but also that they have configuration systems setup to run daemons and manage system config. But other than that it's just the same paradigm as the package manager version.
