Huge waves to hit California coast for third day, bringing flooding and life-threatening conditions (www.cnn.com)

Massive waves and coastal flooding are wreaking havoc for a third day in many of California’s coastal communities, where extreme conditions have forced water rescues, washed away cars and injured a handful of enthralled onlookers....

No amount of money can save them from the rising sea levels.

I actually had the reverse problem: some stupid neighbor kept trying to pair something with my smart TV, to the point where I couldn’t watch TV at times, due to this moron’s insistence. I looked in the settings and also found I couldn’t disable Bluetooth, or blacklist devices, so I thought of a simple solution: changing the TV name to “virus”. From that day on, no one tried to pair anything with my TV.

Canada's surging cost of living fuels reverse immigration (www.reuters.com)

The dream of making it big in Canada is turning into a battle for survival for many immigrants due to the high cost of living and rental shortages, as rising emigration numbers hints to newcomers being forced to turn their back on a country that they chose to make their adopted home....

Fight to make your country better! Otherwise, you’ll just contribute to the creation/enlargement of the same problem in some other place. Natives do not want that and start being very wary of digital nomads because of this.

If you’re moving to Iceland and working in Iceland, that’s fair. Moving to Iceland and working for a US company, earning a US salary, that’s not.

Most school shootings aren’t mass killings, study finds, and they’re often driven by community violence (www.cnn.com)

Many Americans think of school shootings as mass casualty events involving an adolescent with an assault-style weapon. But a new study says that most recent school shootings orchestrated by teenagers do not fit that image — and they are often related to community violence....

pgp ,

So if it’s not a mass shooting, we should be fine with it, that’s the angle?

Fedora, it’s bleeding edge, but stable enough for a daily driver. Also, most things work out of the box.

New Fedora Slimbook 14" joins the Fedora Slimbook 16" - Fedora Magazine (fedoramagazine.org)

We heard your feedback during the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16 and, along with the folks from Slimbook, bring you the new Fedora Slimbook 14, a smaller, lighter, cheaper with even better battery life, version of the Fedora Slimbook, powered by an Intel CPU and GPU (unfortunetely no AMD version soon).

Why can’t mom and pop store compete with Costco?

A Chinese fighter jet over the south CHINA Sea, who could have figured that?

Now, is anyone going to ask what was an American jet doing there?

Which past is this that you speak of? And how is the present a better option than anything at all, really?

pgp ,

Still don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, in capitalist free America people are shot for knocking in the neighbour’s door, is that better? Lest we talk about the private jail system that demands prisoners, in order to be sustainable.

America is something else entirely.

Resources to learn about history of linux

I have always been a history enthusiast. Unfortunately,I don’t know much about history in the context of computers. I am therefore interested in learning more about significant events and people like Richard stallman and all the related events such as Windows refund day. I am interested to read and explore the timeline, I...

I know you want to go deeper, but here’s a nice summary of linux’s early history: lwn.net/Articles/928581/

mind you, the killings didn’t start yesterday

Imagine for a second that literally any country in the world suggested that the US should stop invading countries with fake reasons/proof and plundering their goods.

There are service bots, that are used by many of the irc networks, that handle this within irc itself (nickserv, chanserv, etc…).

On behalf of Europe, I’d like to thank the US for this gift.

You can downvote me all you want, but the French think the same: thelocal.fr/…/are-american-tourists-behind-the-be…

The paper adds that DisneyLand Paris is regularly infested with bedbugs, noting that the tourist hotspot is hugely popular with… you guessed it, Americans.

Obviously not, and I’m not even going into the depth of your definition of “everything”, where would a kid learn long division?

That’s not accurate, the image is missing sleeps between each print.

This is not a bug, it doesn’t need to be fixed.

The choice of the letter d was brilliant, that’s for sure. Now I’m imagining a folder with a large D.

Best example I could find without being crude.

Wrong, it does matter. Just because it’s not working as you want, doesn’t mean it’s not working as expected.

Finally we’re on the news for something meaningful, and not for being the best destination for whatever.

On top of the golden visa there are also a lot of digital nomads, who earn a US salary, while living in Portugal. These types obviously don’t mind paying a rent value that is unaffordable for 95% of the population.

That’s good, actually, they can travel freely to the US and get shot in the face faster this way.

Yes! All those Israelis illegally seizing Palestinians’ homes and taking their land! Thank you!

And does the world owe the Israelis, exactly? Regarding history, there are many episodes in recent history that I will never forget, such as this one: theguardian.com/…/israelis-cheer-gaza-bombing

There’s no need for that, we’re all on the same side, and the GNU tools may not be an os by themselves, but they are a crucial part of any Linux distribution.

I have a small gripe with this article: CTRL+K, CTRL+U and CTRL+W don’t “delete”, they “cut”, and the clipboard can be accessed with CTRL+Y, which the article also fails to mention.

Regulations are made to make sure that businesses comply with the minimum safety and health rules, as well as not actively harming the consumer. So, no, no area benefits from deregulation. Giant companies love deregulation so they can monopolize and/or fix prices. Getting to your barber example: if I’m trying to find a barber, I will surely only look for licensed barbers, as I surely do not want a busted hair job, or to incur in any hazard. Simple as that.

pgp ,

Regulation is hardly on the top 20 Brazil problems list. Be serious.

pgp ,

It does matter because you cannot isolate the effects of regulations from the corruption, violence, etc… All of which are huge issues in Brazil.

pgp ,

I didn’t have to search much to find an article talking about the corruption in the Brazilian telecommunications free market: …com.br/…/o-passado-mal-explicado-das-telecomunic…Sure, you can argue that many of these companies simply went bankrupt, but the weight of those bankruptcies falls on the same shoulders every time: private profit, public loss. Sure, there were a lot of telecoms opening at that time due to the government opening up the market, but at what cost?

pgp ,

It’s true, there are factors that will make things sort of work, or make them go downhill very fast. In Portugal, there was a lot of deregulation in the past few 20 years, which brought higher prices, monopolies and fixed prices. That’s my main reason for not believing in deregulation, but I understand that there may be exceptions to this. I just think that they’re precisely that: exceptions to the rule.

Also, I love that I’m having a deep conversation in the memes community!
