"Who goes there", John Campbell, 1938.

(And I seem to recall more movies that are rehashes of that novella.)

Yeah , but ...

In Paris we fought and were massacred.
In Korea/Manchuria we fought and were massacred.
In Ukraine we fought and were massacred.
And as you say in Spain we fought, but then we were massacred.

There's more of course, but you get the idea.

Something probably should be done differently in the future.

So, yeah, looking at those examples I'd say we should try to prevent our opponets from going fascist.

If there's anything fascists are good at it's murdering lots and lots of people, so Id say we should stop them from gaining a following or try to remove their following if they already got one.

Easier said then done, but, to steal your words, doesn't mean it's impossible.

It's German, and you're about as right as anyone trying to say a German word in English can expect to get.

Some of the flickering can be gotten rid of by disabling hardware-acceleration for qtwebengine.

I've got
`export QTWEBENGINE_DISABLE_GPU_THREAD=1

export QTWEBENGINE_CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disable-gpu-compositing --num-raster-threads=1 --enable-viewport --main-frame-resizes-are-orientation-changes --disable-composited-antialiasing"`
in .bashrc.

Note that there is still enough flickering left to annoy, and some (appimage?) apps dont seem to register the setting.

Yeah, and it's wrong.
Nioghalvfems is 9 + 1/2 * 5 * 20!
NOT that silly 9+(4+1/2)*20.

What do they take us for? Calculators?

Niti og ni, 9*10+9 was used in Danish on cheques.
I doubt those exist anymore, though.

I think what's happening in the US today rhymes hard on the fall of the Roman Republic.

And I'm sorry, but I don't think the people won back then.

Det er også en hel del ting der ville gå nemmere hvis andre stater brugte samme software.

Det giver mening at forsøge at gøre tingene globalt brugbare.

Somebody missed out on doing some simple, bog standard population dynamics.

Hopefully they are enough to disperse Russian anti-aircraft defences.

Things are often overdetermined.

I'd say your two possible explantions are each well over 50% of the reason this happened.

pragmakist, 3 months ago

Heh. I used to run leafnode as my own, in house, single person server.

I'm quite surprised to find out it's still alive and maintained.

You make larger districts that elect more than one representative each.

Or at least that was how it was done here in Denmark.

pragmakist, 3 months ago

That's actually a nice one.

pragmakist, 3 months ago

Yeah.

And we can still block entire sites on the web.

The sites the friends with adblockers promote.
The friends who don't notice what they promote.
What unholy bastards the people who own the sites they promote are.

You know, that's a good idea anyway.

I wonder though what that would mean for the copyright?

I'm just guessing, but if the plane suddenly decided it's parked and shut down while it's actually in the air ...
We might want that recording.

The Secret Superpower of Civilization.

"Undocumented"? "health insurance"?

"Undocumented health insurance"!?

"as long as they met eligibility requirements, including income limits and California residency in 2014."
But not documented!?

Are you quite sure you're all right over there?

pragmakist, 4 months ago

Neat.
