Waste of time for what goal? Don't you ever do things just because you enjoy them? Is it a waste of time to pet a dog or watch a sunset if you enjoy it?

I saw the original first, and then recently the hollywood version. The first one is better imho, it's like the difference between the book "I am legend" and the 2007 adaptation. When they hollywoodise things like that it just loses the point I think.

In my work I have followed the process of maybe a hundred people dying of various things that we in everyday language sort of collectively call "dying of old age". Usually there's a couple of serious conditions underlying, and a general physical frailty. This is anecdotal, but my experience is that people make a conscious effort to get up in the morning and eat food and move around in the ways they can, until they enter a downward spiral where they for example eat less than they should, which means they get tired, they then stay more in bed, leading to less eating, etc. Something relatively minor like a cold, an aching tooth, a fall, a UTI, etc, can accelerate this quickly. Until they have shorter time awake and more time drifting in and out of consciousness, if they are in pain they will get something for the pain, which usually makes them even less responsive. Then eventually the body starts shutting down, they stop urinating etc, and some days later they die.
In this overall process, there's a time when making an effort to eat and to be active will prolong life, but it seems so easy for them to just... let go, and soon they will be dead. We (the patient + the health care team) usually talk about this at least once, to know what their wishes are. What surprised me in the beginning was that most old people I've talked to say that they are done, so for example if the heart stops they don't want attempts to save them.
All this together, I think old frail people can "hang in there" for a while if they feel motivated, but of course anything can happen at any time anyways.

ed is sadly not installed by default on some modern distros. Even vi is often a symlink to vim in vi-mode.

I learned the proper meaning of tar flags a long time ago, but then I accidentally saw a post somewhere describing "czf" and "xzf" as acronyms in german accent: "Create Ze File!" and "Xtract Ze File!" and now everytime I use tar in the simpler ways I hear in my head a german voice shouting these words as I type the flags.

I like your example with that song. If we interpret the scene as both acting out the behaviour the've been taught, they are both reinforcing each others behaviours. Assuming that both wanted to be together but there was an established "dance" around it. They can only work together. What if one (and only one) of them had not done their part? If he hadn't, she would have left, possibly feeling that he didn't really want her to stay. If she hadn't, she risks being labeled "easy". In both cases, again if we assume they both actually wanted to stay and feel good about it, they don't both get what they want.
So... if we now, as a conscious effort from society, are trying to get away from this bad system, it seems to me that the only way is a gradual de-escalation from both sides. It also seems to me that if we only tell men to never "pursue", but do nothing about the "hard to get"-behaviour, then men who follow the new instructions or script will be left with no chance to meet someone.
What I think is missing from the discourse today is that it's a hard sell to young men to change their behaviour, if doing so is punished by the same people asking them to change. We're caught in a stalemate where we need to help each other simultaneously, with mutual understanding, trust, and care. In that very sensitive process, trying to move it forward by telling someone they are a potential rapist is probably just making men dig deeper trenches and refuse to listen. Some people want this, I believe. The conflict that lets you feel righteous anger and resentment. But it's not helping.

I do both depending on level of detail in general. If every tree and trash can is marked and the roads have odd geometries, then clearly defining a residential area to be inside a block works best imho. But if there's a big area without many other features I just map it as a big residential area until more detail is added. Area nodes should never share nodes with road nodes though.

You can have Albertus, there are several digitalizations, and some clones like Flareserif 821.
... what should we do? I guess it all depends on *how* it would be implemented, which is something I have a hard time imagining at this moment. How do you imagine day to day online life in a post-Chat Control EU world? Which ways of communicating would still be private? Is there anything we can do at this point to prepare for the worst outcome?

I've been trying to navigate the differences and limitations in practice between the Arduino Nano ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico, and I'm at a point where I just want to get one of them and start experimenting. Possibly some other brand ESP32. My goal is to learn micropython and hopefully make some simple projects. My question is: is there a big difference for a beginner which I get in terms of online resources and ease of use, any pitfalls to be aware of or useful tips?
So, I'm just assuming we've all seen the discussions about the bear. Personally I feel that this is an opportunity for everyone to stop and think a little about it. The knee-jerk reaction from many men seems to be something along the lines of "You would choose a dangerous animal over me? That makes me feel bad about myself." which results in endless comments of the "Akchully... according to Bayes theorem you are much more likely to..." kind. It should be clear by now that it doesn't lead to good places. Maybe, and I'm open to being wrong, but maybe the real message is women saying: "We are scared of unknown men." Then, *if* that is the message intended, what do we do next? Maybe the best thing is just to listen. To ask questions. What have you experienced to make you feel that way? I firmly believe that the empathy we give lays a foundation for other people being willing to have empathy for the things we try to communicate. It doesn't mean we should feel bad about ourselves, but just to recognize that someone is trying to say something, and it's not a technical discussion about bears. What do you think?
Congratulations to Andreas! It seems like he has lots of ideas for how to improve things in packaging, and for communicating with other distros. Debian is a big ship to steer, and I personally hope the leader can facilitate people working together to reach our goals.
For example, I'm using Debian, and I think we could learn a thing or two from Mint about how to make it "friendlier" for new users. I often see Mint recommended to new users, but rarely Debian, which has a goal to be "the universal operating system". I also think we could learn website design from.. *looks at notes* ..everyone else.

I'm not proposing anything here, I'm curious what you all think of the future. What is your vision for what you want Linux to be? I often read about wanting a smooth desktop experience like on MacOS, or having all the hardware and applications supported like Windows, or the convenience of Google products (mail, cloud storage, docs), etc. A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it's now your desktop computer. That's one vision. ChromeOS has its "everything is in the cloud" vision. Stallman has his vision where no matter what it is, the most important part is that it's free software. If you could decide the future of personal computing, what would it be?
How long does it usually take for you to unhibernate after a ZZZ? I timed my laptop where it stops at the "unhibernating @ block xxxxxx length xxxMB", and these are my times: length 65MB: 1m 47s length 285MB: 3m 29s Are these normal times? Setting vm.swapencrypt.enable=0 makes no difference, and according to dmesg "acpi0: sleep states S0 S3 S4 S5".
Hello, I've tried to find someone else using OpenBSD in various places for a while now, but with no success, so I'm hoping someone will read this. I'm wondering what your output is from file(1) on a file you know has text encoded as UTF-8. On my system (7.3-stable) the output is "Non-ISO extended-ASCII text", and I'm trying to figure out if this is how it should be, or if I did something wrong setting up the system. So, if you have a computer with OpenBSD and a minute to spare, could you try running file(1) on a UTF-8 file and see if it identifies it as UTF-8 or "Non-ISO extended-ASCII text"? Thanks in advance
