2·10 hours agoI think the trick has to be that somebody who has a bit of technical skill sets the laptop up initially. I did this for my mom a while back, and once I set it up once, it just worked from there on. Non technical users tend to have a fairly small set of things they need to do like check email, browser the web, and play media. Once that’s working, they never need to change anything. In fact, they don’t want to change anything because they get used to the workflow, and they’re comfortable.
It would be great if people set up community centres where people can bring their old laptops, and somebody switches them over to Linux for them.

Where do you think 5% military spending is going to come from. It’s gonna be funded by austerity and cuts to science.
lol yeah it’s in the name
The key part is that the overall European budget for science is microscopic in comparison. Very few scientists will actually be able to move there.

Right, and that’s why talk of authoritarianism is infantile. The question that’s actually important is whose interest the government represents.

Yeah, I’d typically front an app with something like nginx and farm off stuff like rate limiting or tls handling to it instead of having to worry about it in the app itself. The general point in the article is solid though. I’ve started using this sort of heuristic to evaluate libraries as well. I first try to think of how I’d solve the problem conceptually, and then once I work through that and have a good mental model of what I want, I’ll look for libraries and try to find one that’s closest to the way I think about the problem.
What all this illustrates is that the US lacks industrial capacity for maintaining its hegemony. They’ve run through their existing stocks over the past three years, and they’re unable to manufacture weapons at the rate they’re being consumed. As a result, they have to make hard choices regarding which proxies have more value to them.
I find what you generally want is a service bus. For example, if you have common tasks like sending emails, making PDFs, etc. you can create generic services that handle the action, and then call them providing the context such as the document the service should operate on. Meanwhile, actual business logic and the state should absolutely live in a single place.
Wait till you find out how modern economies function.
That’s one thing that’s stayed constant to this day.
should do an AMA on how long it took you
the wasp nest has really come out in the comments here 🤣
I actually preferred Inventing Reality from Parenti
Indeed, it kills me how much perfectly hardware is constantly thrown out because Windows refuses to run on it.
