  • I’ve been working my way into the fringes of many different cuisines. Finding ingredients that you can’t find in most markets. I’m just sick of the US standard, garlic, onion, paprika, basil, oregino, bullion, salt, pepper that just makes up 99% of food here. Everything good is some offshoot of KFC flavors :)

    Really good stuff in many cuisines is an expensive labor of love. You can find restaurants with lots of regional remote food, but it’s all a sickly immitation, worked down to a price. Carribean spiced goat is like a $30-$40 plate. You make some indian cuisine right, the spices might run you $15 alone. Nigerian Food is AMAZEBALLS.







  • I’ve seen stock traders where everyone on the floor had half that many. A few of them had 9.

    When they’re looking up trades or news, they open a ridiculous number of windows while doing research.

    They have 4 screens just to watch the markets and handle in-house controls.

    What’s striking about this is the amount of whitespace on the screens. They are only using 1/2 - 1/4 of their screen space.





  • So from my PoV the question is whether it’s better that Linux will be prohibited for noncompliance

    That’s the same slope.

    It it better that systemD add a column?

    Is it better than ubuntu starts enforcing it?

    Is it better that they just outlaw software that doesn’t comply?

    For me, that line starts back at the very beginning. There’s no room for FOSS for Authoritarianism. I’m not interested in giving them a few inches of rope so that they can hang us with it later. If governments want to use Linux, they can, they can even fork it and make their own changes. They don’t get to demand how our own software tracks us.


  • You see that’s the inches part.

    No, we won’t invade freedom

    Well, we won’t invade freedom, but we’re just going to put this field in so that someone can comply easily if they want to

    Well, not all the distros require you to log your age

    Well, you can cheat or lie

    History is absolutely full of people taking the temperature of the water they’re in and going, well, it’s not boiling yet…
