“Confuse yourself to confuse thy enemy.” - Sun Tzu

More correctly “If you wish to feign confusion in order to lure the enemy on, you must first have perfect discipline; if you wish to display timidity in order to entrap the enemy, you must have extreme courage”

But the first one is more meme-able than the latter. - Abraham Lincoln

Ayy fuck you. I look like that but I don’t go around calling people “females”.

I had to scroll a bit too much to find this.

I cannot recommend something like kreate or metrolist enough.

There’s gotta be a modern version of Fortunate son brewing somewhere with a cybertruck whizzing sound as the intro.

Was an i3 user, testing sway here and there but couldn’t make the full switch. For some reason I couldn’t find some replacement e.g. feh (minimalist image viewing and bg setting, something that works with RAW images), ranger’s backend for image preview, devour (terminal swallowing).

Until last year when a teams chat leaked during an online course I am a TA. It wasn’t too bad of a leak but still decided to find a replacement as I knew niri had something implemented. Switched to niri after that, the block-out-from is very useful. Found swayimg as a replacement for feh, managed to get ranger preview working with sixel (foot), found a work around for window swallowing (basically use niri msg action to consume-window-into-column then set the height to 0% and back). A lot of functionality of my ‘DE’ is based on rofi-scripts, which just works so didn’t have to tweak much for functionality. Absolutely love the window switcher that was introduced last year. I did have a window switcher with rofi, which I still use but the fancy one is cool too.

On Wayland, it’s really a compositor rather than an X11-style window manager.

On Wayland it’s both the window manager and compositor (compositing window manager).

In X11, you have to bring your own compositor or not use one. River is trying to separate it like in x11 but it’s a compositor only. You have to bring a separate wm. And from what I understand, in Wayland it won’t work without a compositor (but I could be wrong on that one).

I myself identify as an equalist . I hate all of them DE equally. Standalone WM is superior (for me).

You do provide an interesting scenario, but my thoughts and reasoning aren’t that coherent. I meant, as a non USian, I feel people really buy into the ‘American Dream’ that I’m gonna be rich one day. So if we start taxing the rich now then I’m gonna get taxed when I get rich. At least some people do, hence taxing the rich on itself is going to cause a divide. Not just that taxing or not taxing the rich usually comes with package deal with other issues which some one might be inclined to.

If rich people control the government, then rich people would never be taxed. Unless there is an amount that can be allowed to tax, and for the reason above people will divide themselves into two clubs and fight between each other worse than British football fans to the point that one club’s fan won’t recognize fan of other club as equals. Neither intellectually, nor as a member of the same species. This will ensure that nothing will ever happen to the status quo as in a decade or two, each club’s identity will be solely about hating the other club and their fans or whoever is even slightly pleasant to member of the rival club, and that is what all the fans from both sides will spend all their time doing. The only time both fans seem merely united will be when someone says the game sucks or it’s called soccer, but only for a fleeting moment.

It’s not that all Muslim’s hate dog (1. dislike is not the same as hate, and 2. of course you can’t generalize all muslims dislike dogs). But stricter practitioners of Islam don’t keep dogs for the similar reason they don’t consume pork. Something about dirty animals (haram).

Don’t take my word for it [1] [2] [3]

To quote directly from some scriptures (copy pasted from the third link) :

That the Messenger of Allah said: "Whoever acquires a dog - with the exception of a dog to guard livestock, a hunting dog, or a farm dog - each day a Qirat is deducted from his reward. [Abu Dawood]

I heard Allah’s Apostle(P.B.U.H) saying; “Angels (of Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living creature (a human being or an animal).” [Hadith - Bukhari 3:515]

I doubt however many Muslims know why they shouldn’t have dogs as pets as usually they are just told by their parents or elders that they shouldn’t. It’s the same thing in all religions.

I have a dog, and I generally agree with the notion.

But, this is about Muslims isn’t it,? I wouldn’t be surprised if there is another one about bacon. This ad is pandering to the populace in the UK who is tending towards racism and xenophobia, most against but not limited to muslims. From market research standpoint, the same populace is probably also big on alcohol consumption so from perspective of market recognition and penetration, this is quite clever.

It is a bit of eye strain (pixel 9a) However, I have tried with koreader which kinda makes it like a ebook, also on a tablet. It’s still an eye strain. I have however on occasion use librerareader and used the text to speech to ‘listen’ to ebooks.

This is patent troll right? If I am to trust wikipedia, Nokia had nothing to do with the development of HEVC.

The HEVC format was jointly developed by more than a dozen organisations across the world. The majority of active patent contributions towards the development of the HEVC format came from five organizations: Samsung Electronics (4,249 patents), General Electric (1,127 patents),[10] M&K Holdings (907 patents), NTT (878 patents), and JVC Kenwood (628 patents).[11] Other patent holders include Fujitsu, Apple, Canon, Columbia University, KAIST, Kwangwoon University, MIT, Sungkyunkwan University, Funai, Hikvision, KBS, KT and NEC.[12]

Also:

When the MPEG LA terms were announced, commenters noted that a number of prominent patent holders were not part of the group. Among these were AT&T, Microsoft, Nokia, and Motorola. Speculation at the time was that these companies would form their own licensing pool to compete with or add to the MPEG LA pool

Something doesn’t seem right.

Something my mom said, I am slightly paraphrasing: Cooking is simple, you just put things on heat source, don’t let it burn i.e. add ingredients in the ‘right’ order, control the heat, stir and stir; balance the salt and pepper. Voila.

The updated version is: heat the pan, add little oil or butter, lightly fry chopped onions, add stuff to it, stir to prevent burning, sprinkle salt and pepper, Voila. When you’re ready to start being fancy, experiment with spice mix, later you don’t have to rely on spice mixes.

Here is a thought experiment:

1. What happens if it’s cheaper to invest in getting individual like this (who passes this kind of tax) not elected next time (elect someone who removes this tax and helps me any my friends), than to pay the tax? My conspiracy theory brain says in a decade or two the government will be filled with rich people and friends et al.
2. Search for 'McCutcheon v. FEC ’ Is there a politician, senator, congressman (congress person?), governor in the US who is not a Millionaire?

I raise that conspiracy with this one: What is an OK amount of money to be lost on taxation for the rich that will cause political divide among the plebs that rifts forms that they treat each other like different species and bicker and fight among themselves in the name of the banner they stand for, mostly on the pure hatred for other banner and people who stand for that?

I am all up for privacy and I have tried to follow a lot of procedures for it but I have never used VPN (except TOR, which technically is not a VPN).

I actually appreciate the concept of VPN but I think how it is marketed is a bit over exaggeration. VPN is useful when you want to do something securely without the fear of being tracked, access things that are blocked by a tyrannical government, or if you want to watch shows in your region that is not available without VPN (one of the advertisement that VPN providers use). However, I do raise one of my eyebrow a bit on the scale of advertisement VPN put up. E.g. you cannot have not heard about Nord and Surfshark vpn (owned by the same company). I don’t want to complain about their service as they seem to be one of the best ones out there, and customers seem to be satisfied. But I am perplexed how aggressive their advertisement is. Also they make dubious claims in their ads that ASA (UK) had to step in. They also had their servers breached and exposes some private keys as well as some usernaems and passwords.

The same way I am perplexed about the level of advertisement of OperaGx “the gaming browser” and Honey.

I do trust ‘free vpn’ less that vpns.

I see you are not serious about the list. If you were you’d have red star Linux and justin Bieber Linux up there with Hannah Montana Linux and amogOS
