Source? And if that is the case, the developing that’s been done has been in a useful direction. I honestly don’t understand how Hyprland, which will always be niche if there are no fundamental additions made to it, is getting a ton of money while Asahi is still stuck at Apple M 2 chips.
Look, all developed countries, with only a few exceptions, experience declining fertility. This lack is partially made up for up by immigration. However it’s not occurring at a rate that creates strain on the systems you have mentioned. Numbers are indeed still declining, albeit slowly.
This leaves us with a very different sort of structural change. If target countries are not bursting at their seams – which I would argue is ostensible, then why is there a supply-side issue in regards to basic services? Could it be that, for example, deskilling and austerity measures have something to do with this? I leave it up for you to determine cause and effect.
This is a non-sequitur. Israel is a colonial project forced upon the Levant by Britain and the US. The places crying most about immigration have historically been the most egregious colonisers. Man made climate change is scientifically well-established, the concept of human races along with the idea that some groups of h. sapiens are by virtue of geographical origin deleterious to another, are both misconceptions.
Scientists don’t oppose climate change because it goes against a state of nature, they oppose it because it very concretely threatens livelihoods, which can not be said about immigration.
Demographics change. No use crying about stupid borders on a map.
You know who needs that money? Open hardware projects, everything around LoRa, projects that promote tech literacy, programs for accessibility, the Linux Foundation itself, list goes on. What needs it the least? An ass arch install with pre-installed programs.
Hostile takeover of Linux, resist with full force!
Lemmy isn’t a public park either, that comparison is insufficient.
compelled to interject yourself
I’m sorry, this is a public forum for discussion? Everyone can comment and is encouraged to do so. You seem to have forgotten that, since you treat your original response like a PM. A bit self-centred, no?
You bringing up narcissism in first stanza of your reply to the person talking about money not mattering that much is a bit of a non-sequitur. “When direct talk is warranted” reads to me like the tough-love BS people like to reference when they are being paternalistic.
Yeah, but this is Lemmy, it’s not the 12 steps program and I am not tiptoeing around them, nor should the “ban” on tiptoeing be seen as an encouragement to be confrontational.
This is unambiguously good. I hope the trend goes on!
If you are in recovery, it won’t surprise you to hear that alcoholics are often narcissists - the type who may center the whole world’s experience on their own.
Just what the guy needs to hear!
No, you made the right move.
drinking here and there =/= enjoying life
ARE YOU KIDDING? STOCKINGS ARE FOR NERDS – ARCH USERS – AND ONE CERTAIN FALLEN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN. NEWPORTS AND SHITTY INSTANT COFFEE ARE THE GENTOO PREREQUISITES.
I CHANGED MY MIND THEY NEED TO DO LFS
No, even this is a very bad idea. Ideally, no books are destroyed. A close relative of mine works as an archivist. They have tons of examples of how digitising and then destroying can create extra burdens. The data on hard drives or flash devices is too fragile.
I know that in disciplines such as math there are very often have books with less than 50 copies in circulation. The LLM companies buy maybe 2 of a given book which are subsequently destroyed with no backup data. You’re now at 48 in circulation, that is a significant reduction. Rinse and repeat a couple of million times and this starts to have a major influence on knowledge.
What’s perverse about it is that the data from the books is stored extremely badly within the models. So not only are you destroying sources, you are also necessarily falsifying them.
Pretty sure information that is hard to come by on the internet includes rare books.
Why?
