Coffee, Tea, and caffeinated beverages have been a double edged sword to humans, and specifically human society, since its discovery.

Michael Pollan authored a book on the subject a while back. Here is an article which summarizes some of it.

Ultimately, Capitalism as we know it today would not have been possible without stimulants (like caffeine) and the invention of the lightbulb. These two factors allowed human beings to remain awake and alert 24/7, vastly expanding the time window for us to consume and produce, and ultimately further solidify Capitalism’s hold on the world at large.

Ever since bypass paywalls started getting hit and miss, I’ve been pasting this into my Ublock Origin Filter list. Works well from what I’ve seen.

Lol, wait until Luz tries to explain what a Platypus is! 😂

Good. This generation will be the ones writing about this time period as the sad pathetic chapter of human history it is.

Let our children be the ones to rain down upon us unrelenting and constant reminders of our own compromises made with corporate and government fascists. Compromises where we were willing to sacrifice the lives, autonomy, and national identity of an entire ethnic group of people in exchange for imperialist power.

Don’t relent. Don’t let the fascists off the hook. Call out this genocide for what it is and fight to stop it. Fight until the world bows its head in shame and drops its arms, and then execute the war criminals.

Probably something touching and inspiring right before my bowels loudly empty themselves and an unbearable stench fills the nostrils of my loved ones.

Arms Dealer. Anything to do with Wall Street. Law Enforcement and Incarceration. Human Trafficking. Anything dealing with the Military. Religion/Cult jobs. Scam artist. Lobbyist. Probably a few more I can’t think of at the moment.

There are lots of jobs you couldn’t make me do even with a gun to my head, let alone a paycheck.

Don’t bother even giving them your traffic, just use a redirection extension to LibReddit or use Stealth

Surprised no one has mentioned Archer’s ringtone.

Just use a Invidious instance. Don’t even bother with YouTube. You can use an RSS feed reader to port your subscriptions, then use a redirection extension to bring you to the invidious version of the channel.

If you’re so inclined, you can download the video using yt-dlp which you can use to download videos from invidious and even pass a sponsor block flag which integrates with the sponsor block api.

On mobile, if you have Android, you can use Tubular. You can request from Google to give you your subscriptions as a fifle that you can upload to these apps. Tubular also uses Sponsor block as well.

Lastly, if you’re on iOS, the best I’ve found is simply to use the Brave browser.

Hope this helps.

Aww! Thanks for posting this! I used to follow this creator but left mainstream social media a while back. It’s nice to see their work here on Lemmy!

Again, thank you!

You can install multiple kernels along with their respective headers. As long as you create a hook that runs mkinitcpio and grub-mkconfig whenever you update the kernels, you can then choose which kernel you want to use when the grub menu comes up.

This way you can always use whichever kernel you want, and is good practice should an update to one of the kernels have breaking changes.

It may not be the same problem, but I took notes on connecting a bare bones Artix ISO to WiFi using wpa supplicant a while back. Take a look, see if that helps. I believe you have to change some settings using rfkill.

I highly recommend signing up and using Artix’s official forums. As long as you provide enough context about your problem, the devs and community there is super helpful.

I know. I have a bunch of redirect extensions on all my device’s browsers, so this is what I get when I click on these links. No such extensions on iOS sadly.

Setting up such a bot shouldn’t be too hard though, I see it all the time for YouTube to Invidious instances.

In my experience, those that asked to be referred to as they/them identify as being non-binary, though in reading more on the topic, this is not always the case.

I only adopt the pronouns of those that the person in question expressly asks to be referred to as. Otherwise, if the pronouns are not explicitly mentioned, I default to the pronouns of the gender I perceive said individual to be presenting as until otherwise corrected.

In my opinion, it’s simply a sign of mutual respect and acknowledgement that I recognize their identity as they proclaim it to be.

Thanks so much! I’ll be bookmarking these and checking them out as I go along.

Lastly, I just wanted to ask a couple more questions if that’s OK.

How long did it take you before you started to become proficient enough in Rust that you could be productive for your employer? Were you already proficient in other systems level programming languages like C or C++ before learning Rust?

Did you get hired as a Rust developer or were you working or your current employer utilizing another programming language and you eventually move to developing in Rust?

Do you see there being more jobs utilizing Rust in the future?

I know that’s a lot, so if you don’t want to field all of those, I understand, but I’m very curious so I thought I’d just put those out there.

Thanks again!

Thanks so very much. Very informative and encouraging. As a mainly TypeScript developer whose only done some dabbing in C, bash, and python, I’ve been looking for a language that’s a bit more abstracted than C, but not so pigeonholed into specific use cases like Golang (I’m still developing an opinion on Golang, not sure how I feel about it).

Rust so far has appeared like quite a beautiful language and the compiler in particular is the best I’ve ever seen in terms of helpful error/warning messages!

I’m sure I’ll have my small complaints as I struggle to get good at Rust in the near future, but I think this is going to be my go to back end language for some time.

I have plans to eventually convert the C code of the terminal based browser, links, to a Rust project to learn more about how a very basic browser is built. I’d also like to do the same for the TUI system monitoring tool btop, which is written in C++.

I think just attempting those two “rewrite it in Rust” projects, once I have other smaller projects under my belt, will probably give me a good understanding not only of Rust, but also aspects of the HTTP/HTTPS protocols and systems programming not commonly encountered in the field of web development.

Last question, I promise, lol. But what do you make of this plan? Are their any caveats or concerns I should be made aware of in regards to this endeavor?

Again, thanks for everything!

Definitely. Okay, that’s about all I have to ask now. I’m bookmarking this thread though to refer back to. You’ve given me some great insights and resources, and have also pointed me in the right direction going forward.

For now I’ll be just making my way through the Book. I also have Programming Rust, by O’Reilly, Command Line Rust by O’Reilly, and Rust for Rustaceans to reference along with the plethora of online resources.

I might PM you some time in the future (if that’s okay) should I get stuck on something I can’t figure out through the usual means (i.e. documentation, stack overflow, etc.).

Again, can’t thank you enough for the help. Cheers!
