C'est la même chose qu'à l'époque de l'émergence de la 3d réaliste. On faisait des test du même style.
Vu la rapidité d'évolution, je suis sûr que d'ici 2-3 ou 5 ans même le plus expérimenté se fera tromper. L'avantage des ados n'est que de courte durée je pense. Restera la jugeote pour nous guider.

As far as murders, those statistics are probably correct, because Bukele is fascinated with collecting that information, and the US kind of has to because ... guy isn't here anymore.

Stuff like pickpockets, begging, scams, etc. you don't know. However, since most of that stuff is organized, and any "non-violent organized crime" was almost certainly displaced by the murderous gangs that infested El Salvador before Bukele, one can imagine that SV is pretty devoid of any shady activity right at the moment.

Survivorship bias is when you make a conclusion but it's invalid because it doesn't recognize the skew of data caused by survivorship.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is an example of an error caused by survivorship bias, in reality, you might have been stronger already and what didn't kill you only demonstrated that you are stronger.

Lindy Effect is an application of survivorship, but not an erroneous one. The logic of Lindy is that things with good survivability last a long time. Things which HAVE lasted a long time have demonstrated survivability, so they obviously have it. Things which have not (yet) lasted a long time have not proven survivability, they might have it, but they likely don't.

A limitation of Lindy Effect is it does not work with things that have a fixed lifetime such as humans. A 2 year old is more likely to last another 20 years than a 90 year old, but that's only because humans have a built-in biological suicide clock.

Usury is a cornerstone of capitalism.
Before capitalism the church prevented Christians from charging interest on loans.

Private ownership of the means of production is a cornerstone of capitalism.
Before capitalism commons existed where regular people that don't own land could hunt forage and gather natural resources.

state enforced monopolies are a cornerstone of capitalism.
The monarchy and nobility were replaced with corporations.

Mediaeval peasants worked less hours each year than the average worker under capitalism does today.

Real capitalists accept this, you won't see them arguing in favour of capitalism.
They understand their wealth comes from exploiting society.

Only wage slave cucks will argue in favour of capitalism, the capitalists themselves are too busy enjoying their privilege to waste their time arguing.

@cjd the way i see it, it doesn't affect me at all. I mean, it's not like people in the US buy Italian, French, Swiss or pretty much any other Europea imports because they're priced competitively. That's basically the expensive shit you buy because you want something boutique to flex. I mean, think about it. If you're buying 30+ bucks bottle of wine, you'll buy it all the same if it's 40 bucks.

Arch Linux error /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ exists in filesystem

The package archnews2 also provides an arch news reader. This issue was also announced in Arch forums before it was rolled out - I saw it in Lemmy.

But, yeah, you really do have to read archnews release notes. Frankly, it annoys me a bit - pacman should have the concept of breaking changes and show related news before upgrades. I think one of the news packages (maybe archnews2?) has a config setting that always displays news before upgrades, but it's only annoying because it is ignorant of whether the news item affects any given system, so it's often just noise; I think I turned it off because it kept showing me the same news every time.

It's the worst part of Arch, and it's poorly handled. I don't know of a rolling release that handles informing the user of, breaking changes better, though.

in reply to linuxeasy

The good thing is it fails properly. This should not continue because it would break your system. The package ownership of those files has changed but the package manager would have to remove the current owning package then install the new owning package after in two separate transactions. Technically this could be make possible I think it would lead to bad packaging and would be bad practice. Happily it fails loudly and makes next steps fairly clear.

Pro-Palästina & Queer: Ein Widerspruch?


Die palästinensische Flagge steht nicht für „queerfeindlichen Terror“, sondern für den Widerstand gegen koloniale Vernichtung, Apartheid und die tägliche Gewalt des zionistischen Besatzungsregimes. Dass unterdrückerische Strukturen auch innerhalb palästinensischer Gesellschaften existieren, etwa Patriarchat oder Homophobie, ist kein Argument gegen die Befreiung Palästinas, sondern ein Aufruf, diese Kämpfe verbunden zu führen.

Die Logik, dass Kolonisierte erst „fortschrittlich“ genug sein müssen, um Unterstützung zu verdienen, ist zutiefst imperialistisch. Kein Volk wird befreit, indem man es unter Besatzung lässt -queere Palästinenser:innen kämpfen nicht nur gegen Homo- und Transphobie, sondern auch gegen Bomben, Vertreibung und Entmenschlichung durch Israel. Der Vorwurf des „Antisemitismus“ dient dabei oft als Totschlagargument, um jeden Widerstand gegen israelische Staatsgewalt zu delegitimieren, dabei sind jüdische Stimmen gegen Besatzung und Antizionismus seit jeher Teil der Bewegung.

Nationalismus? Es geht um Anti-Kolonialismus. Die Forderung „Free Palestine“ ist kein Bekenntnis zu reaktionären Regimen, sondern eine Anerkennung, dass Befreiung untrennbar ist: Kein Ende der Queerfeindlichkeit ohne Ende des Imperialismus, kein Feminismus ohne Sturz der Besatzung. Wer sich auf CSDs gegen Genozid positioniert, handelt im Geist des Stonewall-Aufstands, der auch kein Bittgesuch an die Mächtigen, sondern ein Aufstand der Unterdrückten war.

Und dabei ist noch nicht einmal berücksichtigt, dass Israel queere Palästinenser*innen mitnichten irgendwie unterstützt, sondern ganz im Gegenteil identifiziert, um ihr Leben zu zerstören, indem sie zur Kollaboration erpresst werden.

Was wiederum umgekehrt den Punkt mit den verbundenen Kämpfen stützt: der Befreiungskampf ‧profitiert‧ vom innerpalästinensischen Kampf gegen Homophobie — nicht abstrakt und theoretisch, sondern ganz konkret, wenn queere Palästinenser*innen dadurch weniger erpressbar werden.

When people complain that punishing unacceptable behaviour in the workplace will impact on the UK's economic success (growth), they are revealing the dependence of managers in the UK on methods of intimidation, exploitation & prejudice.

As I've said before one of the key issues behind the economic malaise of the UK is its 'tradition' of bad management (managers).

Until we change that culture, the UK will fail to harness the widespread skills & knowledge of its population.

"Alpha males are rare among our fellow primates: scientists [...]
New research [...] contradicted the commonly held idea that males dominate females among primates, revealing far more nuanced power dynamics in the relationships of our close relatives.
[...]
Males clearly dominating females, which was defined as winning more than 90 percent of these confrontations, was only observed in 17 percent of the populations. Among this minority were baboons and chimpanzees, which are the closest living relatives to humans.

Clear female domination was recorded in 13 percent of the primate populations, including lemurs and bonobos."

Michael Shanks has claimed there's no such thing as Scottish electricity because it's generated by "GB wind". An extraordinary statement from a so-called Scottish MP.

In October 2023, Shanks urged people to vote for him saying Rutherglen needed "a local champion who will fight for our area. I want to be that champion."

That aged well.

We expected nothing from him and he's still managed to disappoint us.
