If you mean political leaders targeted by imperialist propaganda, most of them have written books or other writings that you can read and get accounts from their own mouth. Mao probably fits your bill (vilified by Western media) and his writing is very accessible and easy to read (he wrote largely for illiterate peasants) so that might be something to interest you.
No but not due to hostility. We just don’t talk anymore the way you don’t talk to some old friends anymore, ie just drifted apart. All my breakups have luckily been amicable.
Automatic updated for system packages. Automatic container updates with docker. I normally have things pinned to a reasonable major or minor release, so I do manual upgrades for new OS release branches and usually pin to a major version for Docker containers but depends on the container.
But then you have no need for the umbrella if it’s not raining. It just becomes dead weight.
For Q2: I would recommend your native layout. I’ve not tried US QWERTY but I tried DVORAK many moons ago because it’s “better”, but I found it’s better to be good at one layout than to try split your efforts. If you’re not doing something where speed is crucial, just use what you’re used to. If your keyboard layout is not good for your purposes (e.g. typing a character you need often for the programming language you’re using, is difficult on your layout), you could remap individual characters or maybe there’s a layout similar to your native one but better for programming. But no need to use US QWERTY specifically. Also as another commenter said, typing speed isn’t that crucial for programming. I find I’m always limited by thinking speed, not typing speed.
I guess my bike? Have saved loads of money on bus tickets and it’s much more reliable too.
Sewing machine pays for itself quite quickly as paying a tailor to repair your clothes is like 1/3 the cost of a brand new sewing machine, so just repair like 3 items of clothing to get your money back.
People may be aware of a China-specific instance who are on .ml though. It’s not like you’re incapable of knowing about lemmy instances unfederated with your own
“nearly” is, by definition, not.
I only cook for myself so most recipes end up going in the fridge or freezer since they make more than 1 serving. I don’t like eating the same meal twice in one day but I don’t mind eating the same meal every day, so as long as I have 3 distinct meals in rotation each day I’m fine. If that number drops to 2 or 1 then I get cooking again.
gofundme is very strict so if theyre on gfm theyre either legit or you’d be refunded if not.
Keep in mind people in Gaza usually have English as a second/third/etc language, or don’t speak English at all, so often use templates to make their fundraisers. And obviously machine translation too.
Yes it is difficult to get money into Gaza but it does happen. I have a friend who evacuated in 2024 and he’s talked quite a bit about how it works; his friends and family who are still there do occasionally receive money from outside which lets them buy the extremely expensive vegetables and flour.
First I’ve heard of em dashes being an “AI” thing. Aren’t LLMs trained on human-generated text? They wouldn’t be outputting em dashes if humans didn’t also output em dashes.
There was one question where it wouldn’t let me do this. I think the media streaming question I had to click “Other”.
Never used a dashboard… I just manage my services on the cli with plain docker commands.
That sounds like an awful idea lmao. I would never.
ID requirement is terrible for everyone but that especially seems like you’re limiting this to citizens or at least people who have managed to get appropriate immigration documents, which is a difficult and obstructive process that many migrants haven’t got yet. Plus a lot of countries make it hard to get ID without a fixed address.
I prefer paper books when I can afford them as I find it easier to focus when I have a physical book to hold. And it just feels like a nicer experience.
Watchtower for automated updates. For containers that don’t have a latest tag to track, editing the version number manually and then docker compose pull && docker compose up -d is simple enough.
It was very bizarre seeing that change happen in real time. It was always a stupid word though, because even back when it was an anarchist term for a particular type of Marxist, the boundaries of what exact kinds of Marxists were encapsulated by it always changed from anarchist to anarchist. If you’re actually talking politics and not memeing then you should say what exactly you mean.
No in the sense of back when anarchists used it to mean ML/Stalinist/AES types. No idea right now where the word seems to have no meaning. I don’t think I’ve heard a definition of “tankie” that described my politics at least so probably still no. In general you should just say what you mean.
Yeah the intro read as weird to me. If you’re writing for a programming crowd there’s no need to explain all that, and anyway the rest of the article wasn’t about the stack/heap distinction.
English is my third language, but I read a lot of English books as a kid and spent a lot of time in English-speaking circles. I don’t feel disadvantaged compared to a native speaker as I’m fluent and have been speaking English for a long time.
