They don’t read ; they assume it will be “like the old times”, which they have not even lived through. I think the mayors who vote for the far-right are just here for the graft.

Today, september 25th, in France it is 2.49 €/liter ; in some cities up to 2.89€. 1 in 2 gas station are not supplied and stop the pumps without warning. Rural economy is tanking, for people living on the countryside and commuting 20km a day it is close to unbearable. And it is not the end to it : an economy war is waged by the USA government to the rest of the world, most importantly Europe.

Where is wikipedia 😭

X.org and X-twitter

Nice !

Ah ! I can strike out the “test xlibre” of my todo list then 😓 there were warnings from debian devs that ethics was not their strong point, but the testimony of the maintainer is frightening

China is already contributing (deepin, drivers, etc)

Ah ! I am in France, did not knew that sorry

Sms is now so developped, sending pictures and videos, calling is one click away, no need to install or update : it is surprisingly useful. Then you have the same issue with Wechat for Chinese communities

I agree : I ran Void with joy for 2 years, very stable and usable, makes you learn how the init/daemon system works in a very sensitive and easy way (runit).

However, if you try to find GNU packages or Gpl packages, it just does not exist (Exim, Mailutils, and some others).

So dumped it and back to Devuan/Debian

We need more GNU projects

Fediverse

Use the name of (or part of) a building based on religion and go with it (The Chapel, Ziggurath, Transept, Ancestor Shrine, etc)

Well Darwin Law applies here too

Nothing is easy when learning programming from scratch and by yourself ; just choose whatever you feel is cool (at beginner level, it does not make a big difference).

Avoid the compilation process by using interpreted language

Very interesting bit about the Yokoi story, and totally wasted on the conclusion …

I stopped at “AI is a withered technology in Yokoi sense”. Well it is exactly the opposite: of sound engineering decision, of the characteristics of mature technology, of engineering on itself. So the article fall off completely.

Eight-six ~= Exit ?

Even if I am against this kind of “defaults”, today I learned how you customize this for any folder in the home directory !

For linux based system, you do like told in https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs/

~/.config/user-dirs.dirs specifies the current set of directories for the user. This file can also be modified by users (manually or via applications) to change the directories used. Note: To disable a directory, point it to the homedir. If you delete it it will be recreated on the next login.

So at last I disabled Music, Templates, Pictures and Videos . Cleaner Home !

Monopoly is when you purchase other actors of the industry to extinction, and annihilatr competition this way. It has never been about having big market share due to superior service.

I first built a dice roller : the core is just a call to random.randint module, but you need to have the terminal interface to get the instruction ( like “4d6” means you need to have 4 times random generation between 1 and 6). You can do it only with regexp, and if you want to get fancy you can try and find solutions to have compounded formulas, try to have the results stored during a game session, etc.

Second project was a small game: the idea was to have a map of coordinates (xy), and each game has random spawning of 2 goblins and 3 gold within the map ; the goal is to move around (nswe) getting the 3 gold without hitting a goblin.

So also no graphic representation of the map, you just have the game running at each keystroke.

You just need to be able to define functions and do string manipulation ; for logic you can stay with if-then-else and while loop.

And good luck with the learning !
