@mekkaokereke the Brazilian empire tried a similar thing in the South, which is why there are many German and Italian descendants there (like me), who were sent over to colonize some parts of the land that were still untamed (even though there was a lot of black people already in Brazil who needed land)
It was (afaik) a much smaller effort, fortunately, and today there’s a fair amount of ethnic diversity in those places (even if less than the rest of the country)
@marcoarment I mean
You should totally try selling Microsoft Corp to them 😆
@chartier @marcoarment probably easier than selling the Brooklyn Bridge anyway
Bardem's performance in No Country For Old Men is absolutely incredible.
Chilling and funny all at once.
I think I've never seen this movie before. I don't know how that's possible but everything about it feels fresh as I watch it.
And Bardem is far and away the best part of it.
I thought I'd seen this. I thought I was re-watching it. I know the broad strokes.
But if I did watch it before, I wasn't paying attention.

If you alphabetized a gear shift, would it be like:

Or like this?

The Free Software movement never escaped from its origins: the early ‘80s MIT AI Lab. Two things were true in this environment:
- Back when most computers had tens of KiBs of RAM and 1 MiB was a huge amount, programs were simple. Very few programs were so complex that one person could not completely understand them.
- The AI Lab was full of some of the most talented programmers in the world.
This meant that the only obstacles for these people being able to fix bugs and add features to any program were access to the source code and the legal rights to modify it. Once you have those, any program was understandable by that group and they could modify it however they wished.
For the next 40 years, the FSF focused on these two things. The world around them changed. These two prerequisites were never enough for most people (what do 90% of computer users do if you give them even a modest 10,000 line C codebase and tell them they can change it however they like?) and now they aren’t enough even for competent programmers.
When Linus says ‘fork it’ to folks who don’t want LLM-extruded code in their kernel, he knows full well that it is almost impossible to fork a 40 MLoC C (and Rust now) codebase that averages more than one CVE per day and have something useful.
The Free Software movement is struggling now because it obsessed over licenses, which was never a path that would succeed, and ignored the hard problems:
- How do you design environments that enable end users to modify their software?
- How do you engineer software so that it is cheap and easy for a random user to maintain a fork that meets their specific needs?
- How do you foster communities where people want to share improvements, so forks don’t proliferate even when it’s easy?
- How do you create an environment where everyone sees the benefits of user-modifiable code to such a degree that trying to sell anything that doesn’t come with these rights is commercially impossible?
Instead of tackling any of these problems, they created more complex and restrictive GPL variants. And well-paid lawyers found loopholes in them that allowed corporations to keep doing what they wanted (and even pick licenses like AGPLv3 to control ecosystems, because they give the copyright owners so many more rights than everyone else that it’s hard for anyone else to compete). They said ‘don’t worry about the complexity of the licenses, you only need to understand the legal details if you’re creating and distributing derived works’ while completely forgetting that making it possible for anyone to create and distribute modified versions of the programs was the entire point of the Free Software movement.
@david_chisnall In so far as I can recall, original vision and intention was to find the way to make it easy, simple, and supportable to learn programming. That never happened because, well, business made sure it didn't. So too education. So too governance. So too, the open source movement over time, forgetting and getting promptly stuck in the trench of being led by the nose by every factor except the one that was supposed to be steering.
A ground up solve is still needed. Dirt simple OS/OS.🖖

"A former marine and Republican write-in candidate for the US House in Florida has been arrested and charged in federal court with threatening to kill Donald Trump, according to the US attorney’s office."
Looking forward to the late night Truth Social posting spree and ensuing Todd Blanche press conference about why the left is responsible, defense lawyers are actually terrorism, and Trump needs sixty more Hitlerbunker ballrooms spread around the country to "guarantee our national security."
Also tho - like, what does it even really *mean* if you're a "write-in" candidate. I could be a write-in candidate right now, you just gotta write my name in. Obviously this guy is a winger who talks a big game - but like this just some yahoo saying he's running right?

I offer you four views of Mt. Adams from around Takhlakh lake -- the campground is a great spot despite (because of?) being far from pavement. There are prominent 3,400yo lava flows, meadows, and a nice lake with the mountain rising up from one end of it.

BREAKING: Trump plans to announce that Biden stole the 2020 election with assistance from China. To prevent further voter fraud, the midterm elections will exclusively use state-of-the-art Trump Voting Machines, which are mass-produced in China.
@lowqualityfacts Whoever was President in 2020 should be imprisoned for letting this happen under his watch.

I calculated an average of 1 collision avoidance maneuver every 75 seconds in the Starlink megaconstellation based on the numbers they gave in their last conjuction report. But sure, launch more Starlinks.
@sundogplanets
What’s the betting that they solve this by reducing the approach distance deemed to require an avoidance manoeuvre?
