I thought Typst looked interesting, I just have too many years of LaTex mental patterns and Vim shortcuts to be bothered to try it. I’ve suggested Typst to a couple of friends who later said,“thanks.”

I know someone in the DoD who said that system requires you to login with your gov’t id to use. I mean, I guess it makes sense, aside from any security concerns, and the normal AI downsides.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 1 week ago:
He also says that he has backups, so “lost” seems a little apocalyptic. Hard to feel too bad for someone who is that invested in a corporation though.

In the past, the owners and/or aristocracy, lived in the general area of workers. Not the case anymore. I would love it if people started Luigi-ing aggressively.

Right wingers are freaking idiots. I wouldn’t let anything that comes from that bunch of xenophobic, racist, strong-man-loving turds. Asking a right winger to explain their viewpoint will just make you feel dumber. Why are you even caring what some stupid, inbred, shallow-thinking bigots think or say?

OK, let’s be “generous” and agree to that figure. Or twice that. It doesn’t change a thing I said, and nobody will ever find me defending Stalin, unless their lenses are crazy colored.

Nope, you asked the question and I gave a decent answer. Never ever said Stalin was other than evil. Goes down in history with Hitler and Pol Pot. Again, you are the one who asked. And…you keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it does. You can’t be bothered to give a reasoned response, so I can’t be bothered to get dumber reading anything else you have to say. Or as you seem to gargle out yip yip (Avatar rocked. The animated show, not the movie) and whaddabout whaddabout whaddabout. Which was the original freaking discussion ya dummy.
- Comment on Nearly a quarter of U.S. households live paycheck to paycheck, report finds 5 weeks ago:
Seems pretty low. This source from September said:
PNC Bank’s annual Financial Wellness in the Workplace Report shows that 67 percent of workers now say they are living paycheck to paycheck, up from 63 percent in 2024.
The report surveyed 1,000 U.S. workers aged 21 to 69 who work full time at companies with more than 100 workers. The margin of error is pls or minus 3 percent.
Then again, it’s newsweek, so I don’t know. Either number is way too high for “the richest nation on the history of the world!!”

Yep, bad dude. Bad, bad dude. His boss was too. You didn’t, and won’t, get any argument on that from me. But you come across as one of those people who talk about systematic racism and knee jerk react by saying,“I’M NOT RACIST”. All I said was capitalism causes a fuckload of pain, suffering, and death as well. You were of the opinion that capitalism is somehow immune to evil or something. And I’m not sure why you keep saying sit down. The only time I type on here is when I’m at my desktop, and I don’t have a standing desk. You need to try to come up with something more appropriate. Or you know, just shut the fuck up with your capitalist boot licking, grow up, take some classes, and realize humans really suck when they get any type of power, whatever political clothes they wear.

Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the archival revelations, some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin’s regime were 20 million or higher.[5][6][7] After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8][9][10][11][12] around 1.5 to 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[13][14][15] some 390,000[16] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[17] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories.[18] According to historian Stephen Wheatcroft, approximately 1 million of these deaths were “purposive” while the rest happened through neglect and irresponsibility.[2] The deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million[19] persons in the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 are sometimes included with the victims of the Stalin era.[2][20] - wikipedia
So being generous we’ll go high and say 10 million
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 9 million people die annually from hunger and malnutrition, mostly in regions where capitalist-driven global inequality has made basic necessities unaffordable or inaccessible.
So less in a year due to capitalism (ignoring wars and whatnot) than the total of Stalin. But also dealing with huge differences in populations involved. Both seem pretty shitty if you ask me.

An interesting, to me, aside: The luddites were not, as is commonly taught, anti-technology. They were protesting against the consolidation of money/power that technology was making possible. We don’t want to teach class warfare though.

Copyparty is easy, but if you can both set up syncthing, that makes it a breeze. I have a sibling that lives across the Pacific and last time they visited I set up syncthing on their laptop and when either of us wants to share something, we just drop it in that folder and wait a minute or two.

- Comment on I'm sure the liberals have a great explanation 1 month ago:
I am never totally sure if, when someone tries to use “liberal” as a perjorative, if they are talking about market liberalism or social liberalism. Same when people try to use <socialism, communism, capitalism, etc> because it seems that definitions have become so watered down, redefined, and loaded that it’s almost impossible to have a reasonable discussion. Most of all, I see people that have a fundamental glaring hole in their own belief, or definition, of what “society” means.
