The earlier parts of this lecture by Irving Finkel talk about what happened when they first translated the more original flood story from stone tablets in 1872. And the rest of the lecture is a nice story about an adventure, so I can only recommend watching the whole thing.

Mediatek has been making phone SoCs since forever now, they have two lines - Helios and Dimensity. They’re used in many phones, usually on the lower end. Even Samsung uses them. Both lines have abysmal custom rom support compared to Snapdragon phones, so I don’t think you can hope for much there.

Some editors can embed neovim, for example: vscode-neovim. Not sure how well that works though as I never tried it.

The mic being active or not doesn’t affect her hearing. If he interrupts her she’d still hear it, only the TV audience wouldn’t, so she’d seem flustered.

Sadly, I reckon about 2/3 of Android phones no longer have a jack, or close to 100% of flagship models.

Not sure what you’re on about, most package managers have a literal database of most package manager installed files. Debian and derivatives have dpkg --verify or debsums to verify the files, arch has paccheck, I’m sure other distros have something similar. And fixing them is just a matter of reinstalling the package, which you can do from a chroot if the system won’t boot.

Or you can just run your system on a checksumming FS like btrfs which will instantly tell you when a file goes bad.

It’s easy to understand them when you realise that their entire ideology starts at “anything the US does or says is bad” and continues from there.

  • The US supports Taiwan and is against China? China good, Taiwan bad.
  • The US supports Ukraine and is against Russia? Russia good, Ukraine bad.
  • Israel, Palestine, same thing
  • Bosnian and Rwandan genocide happened? Well the US says so, therefore they didn’t.
  • NATO bombed Serbia over their attempted genocide in Kosovo. NATO is the US, so Serbia didn’t do anything wrong, but Kosovo is bad.
  • And so on, and so on…

Once you look at it through that lens, even their most wild takes suddenly become very consistent.

Podman not because of security but because of quadlets (systemd integration). Makes setting up and managing container services a breeze.

Podman quadlets have been a blessing. They basically let you manage containers as if they were simple services. You just plop a container unit file in /etc/containers/systemd/, daemon-reload and presto, you’ve got a service that other containers or services can depend on.
