Well he has established his Board of Peace which definitely works better by … making members pay huge sums of money for … whatever.

In an interview he was very reassuring the reporter that actually zero people died through those cuts. He admitted not knowing any specifics of what the consequences were but he was totally certain that the number of deaths was zero.

There are many ways to help the economy

Some years ago I’d have thought the same but today I’m sure there would be at least one person that exploits others to gain even a small advantage. In the end we’d be back where we are today.

In the middle: mention politics and immediately regret it.

I love the simplicity of SolveSpace but I wish they’d have a loft or sweep feature and it would support free form modelling in some way. Then it would be perfect for me.

I made a design with that concept some time ago. The blue is for “blue planet” and the circle is for the solar eclipse.

I think I also based it on the International Flag of Planet Earth of which I liked the colors but wasn’t a fan of pattern.

I started learning about a month ago having never played any instrument. There is no way around practicing. Luckily even with this little time I already see improvements. It’s far from great but I can see getting there of I keep at it. I’d say take it down from the wall and do a little bit each day. You’ll be surprised how far you can get in only a few weeks time.

Edit: for me it helped going straight to practising whole songs. I’ll probably get to the technical basics some time in the future but right now I stay with songs that come to my mind and sound like they should not be too hard to learn.

Every time I’m at home without Internet I think “whatever, I’ll just read something or work on some project” and then immediately realise that I have to look up something and I would need Internet for that…

Some time ago I wanted to start learning a functional language and looked at Ocaml and Elixir. Ocaml looked like a quite versatile language but in the end I went with Elixir because it looked like it could open up more new use cases compared to the languages I already knew (Python, C). Massive concurrency looked cool and also I wanted to get a bit into web dev stuff and Elixir has the Phoenix framework for that. So depends on what you want to do with it I’d say and how experienced you already are.

This reminds me of when I got a Nintendo DS as a kid with Anno 1701 and you saved the game there was a message like “all previous data will be overwritten, do you want to continue?”. It took me some time until I realised that that is not a bad thing and actually intended.

I have looked at Void a little but honestly the handling of the package manager and even it’s name just throw me of for some reason. Why do you like it?

Looks like a totally new car. But the current 9X8 has had a wing for some time now already.

It’s called [Pamela] (https://blog.smu.edu/smulibraries/2024/02/13/pamela-and-the-early-origins-of-the-romance-novel/)

11/9 was an outside job

With that build you could probably get into Berghain

Maybe It’s not that it’s running hot but that it stays really cool

Yeah I also like the customizability of the desktop and how lean the window manager can be. I just wish there was some more documentation and setup guides but I guess it’s just a little to early for that.

I got Canoe and jrwm to show me some windows. But on other WMs I think they just don’t register my keypresses like they should so there a re no windows showing up. Maybe I’m missing some other package or step that is so “well known” that it’s not included in any of the setup guides. In general I think the setup process to a basic functioning system is just more involved than I’ve had on other DEs. And I’m probably not deep enough into Linux and am expecting more from the window manager than it actually offers.

I like the concept and tried it on Arch once but couldn’t really get most window managers to work. The screen was just black and there was no mouse movement. I searched for some tutorials on how to get started but couldn’t find any. Do you have tips on how to get a working basic setup from which you can actually try out all the different WMs?
