Well, latex users reported enjoying the software, so I will give you that credit.

Fun fact: people in Brazil used to cook black beans with an iron nail inside the pot to treat anemia and iron deficiency. They removed the nail before eating, in case someone is wondering. Some people might still do it.

Another fun fact: I remember a research concluding that it's actually effective.

Isn't it impressive that we in Brazil sometimes create the best and most simple solutions to problems, but no one will imitate us and will keep insisting in their problematic systems, because we are the third world and supposedly can't get anything right? It's sad when we end up replacing our own good things, because even we think we're inferior in everything and can't come up with a good solution for anything.

I can already see the first person with the implant losing to a teenager gamer in a competition hosted by musk. This reality's plot has become too boring already. The writer has lost all creativity.

I always refer to it as X, to remember people that the twitter they knew is long dead

Several things weren't considered in the experiment:

  • A lot of people on the streets have some degree of mental illness or come from another background of vulnerability.
  • he started the experiment im good health. Constant malnutrition is something that destroys someone's hability to concentrate and think on complex subjects, and a reality for most homeless people
  • A lot of homeless people have no digital devices needed to take things from a site and resell online
  • No one in their right mind will trust a stranger from the streets to sleep in their van. He got this privilege probably by talking to someone and explaining his experiment or something.
  • in a lot of places, there are no free things available to resell. Also, he probably already got this idea before starting the experiment.
  • the site didn't mention where he did the experiment, because a lot of people on the streets are subject to violence and live in constant danger
  • and the most important one: there aren't enough free stuff available for all homeless people to resell. If everyone tried this, the "market" would eventually saturate and no one would get a profit anymore.

I remember someone from here in Brazil that tried a similar experiment, but on a smaller scale. He started by buying a box of candies and reselling to people going through a busy avenue. Every time he sold all the candies, he had to buy more, getting just a small profit. At the end, he had to eat, and then spent everything, while being still hungry. The experiment wasn't viable, because he didn't even manage to end the day with more than when started. I tried to find the video to link, but couldn't find it, unfortunately. But anyway, I believe this was much closer to the real experience.

Why do you call this enshitification, if it won't affect the normal searching and is entirely optional?

It's a sad thing to see one more sign of how the big tech companies dominated the internet. A lot of people today don't even know how to use their devices, but only how to use the products offered by those conpanies.

Bring on the political science and jazz posts! Would love to see them around.

Too bad the published paper isn't open access, but anyway, I believe we are in the start of an inflection point in the studies about microplastics. For so long, we've been detecting these particles in all possible places, but couldn't find links to the effects in health, what, along with the industry pressure, has led to the consideration that they were safe, unless proven the contrary. Now, we will probably see many more results like this one being published, finding links between microplastics and all kinds of health issues you can imagine. Let's see how this information will impact the world.

Keep in mind that you're not just learning to use linux, but also learning to use docker,and docker is a complex tool by itself, which makes your journey significantly harder.

I never user Sabnzbd so I wouldn't be of much help. However, you could post some of the problems you find, so that other people lay help you.

Underestimating the competition is often a path to failure
