He takes a jab at the Brits for not enough diversity distribution, but where there's diversity in his country, he leads with a policy of relocation and deportation... https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/26/world/europe/denmark-housing.html I wonder if that's the kind of distribution policy he's saying the UK should also achieve.

While they can be attracted, without social pressures the teenagers would simply tell them to go away. An image of an older entrepreneur or a star seeking very young companions is recognized as success. Older people have more autonomy and resources than young adults and teenagers. Being an equal in a company of other teenagers is seen as boring, less cool than a teenager in a company of adults. Socially constructed hierarchies of adults over children like these add up, leading to predators not being prevented as much as they should. In case of Epstein, he was considered normal as long as he was perceived as targeting young women in their late teens as a 40 year-old man, which I think should be much more frowned upon; instead, it's being celebrated, not by evolution but by adults making conscious decisions.

Having children early is a different demographic, teenagers with teenagers or young adults. Pedos are older people targeting teenagers, which I'm not sure has any significant evolutionary advantage. If anything, young women would be better off looking for young men, and vice versa. I'd argue pedos is a socially constructed phenomenon, powered mainly by power disbalance, not an evolutionary one.

So essential that they helped Orban manufacture a sex scandal against the main opposition candidate)) It backfired, everyone whom I asked about Peter Magyar now overlook his shady background and consider him relatable and keeping up with the times.

How does btop compare against a GTK+ task manager in terms of memory usage when you include the terminal emulator in the btop count? It'd be a more technically correct comparison that way.

The stance of Code Pink is to let invaders conquer people, so they can label it "peace". Because dictatorships are "not our enemy" - what Code Pink website says. You conveniently try not to see you're talking down to an actual person from the invaded country whose defense Code Pink is campaigning to defund. What helps people here (Ukrainians are people in your eyes, right?) are many things, but I'll name three: bringing manufacturing back to Europe to reduce the dependency on Chinese imports (that fund the invasion), sending us weapons to defend ourselves from Russia (who've already committed genocide here before, are trying it again right now, and will gladly continue doing it if they win), and fighting for worker rights internationally (not by defunding our defense in the short term).

Promoting a laissez-faire imperialist-appeaser agenda isn't anti-war in any meaningful sense. The head of codepink has 47 million dollars of assets: https://pdf.guidestar.org/PDF_Images/2022/841/618/2022-841618483-202343209349101304-F.pdf - in local currency she'd be a billionaire twice. If you ask me, the road to international peace would start with a worldwide worker revolution, overthrowing people like her who dictate poor peoples to give up fights against an oil rig trying to conquer us and force us to go conquer somebody else, just so that she looks good in the media. The only difference I see between her and the likes of Trump's donors is that she currently has less money and targets a different audience in social media. Behavior is the same.

Easy, here's a short list of codepink calls to disarm Ukraine just in their recent publications. If you read just a little about their "activism", you know about their positions very well.

"we urge President Biden and Congress to stop the flow of weapons to Ukraine" https://www.codepink.org/stop_war_in_ukraine

"Push for... not more weapons to Ukraine." https://www.codepink.org/push_for_negotiations_not_more_weapons_to_ukraine

"Washington warhawks are in meltdown mode over the idea of pausing weapons to Ukraine" https://www.facebook.com/codepinkalert/videos/ukraine-weapons-halt3mov/628512656715821/

"U.S. taxpayers will shell out for thousands of tons of weapons and millions of Ukrainians will die" https://codepink.substack.com/p/the-growing-chorus-for-peace-in-ukraine

"the war in Ukraine, which... the U.S. and NATO then chose to prolong" https://codepink.substack.com/p/ukrainian-neutrality-is-still-the

"We cannot call for peace in Ukraine while simultaneously supplying that country with advanced rocket systems and missiles" https://medium.com/@codepink/the-missing-peace-in-13-5-billion-of-military-aid-to-ukraine-a0d46ee0e8f1

Reading reviews on Google Maps in private browsing mode also got blocked for me.

Unsure about offline-first, but yes, local-first, for which a LAN is enough and no cloud is needed, is very much what I'd rather we depended on more, instead of what's considered professional and an industry standard. Organizations requiring SaaS (as in, a network of 20 computers simultaneously becoming unable to open an app because the Internet went down) in a country experiencing war and blackouts is an additional source of stress. Free software requiring containers and gigabytes of dependencies is also suboptimal, we should aim to simplify native packaging for GNU/Linux and BSD distributions.

Another thing, programmer visions of what would suffice in bad situations are often very Western, anglophone. Software, including operating systems, eschewing localization in a quest for a lightweight footprint are not accessible or are outright unusable for the majority of the people in the world. Please take care to make your software possible to translate, including documentation. Best if the focus is on tutorials and handbooks; manpages are less of a priority.

Do they attack more often or has the police started to take the right wing more seriously and track more cases? Here they still do absolutely nothing, usually blaming the assaulted person for what they call provoking veterans, or redirecting the person through an infinite bureaucratic maze.

To fellow Ukrainians who haven't realized this yet: migrants are not "they", it's our friends and family, and making any migration means-tested and bureaucratic is bullshit that will make "illegals" out of random people, out of you, and cause great suffering. Let's build international solidarity with migrants and refugees from all countries, in all countries.
