if you can make cake, you can make soap.

just be careful with lye (and don’t use aluminium utensils)

shower thought after reading that email:

i wonder if Bill secretly started using Linux after that

it’s good to do it on a new laptop. It makes migration easier to have the old system alive next to it

that’s why they recommended “dual boot”

We had the right idea back in the 80s and early 90s by running everything via the command line. it’s faster.

keyBindings with a simple windowManager is even faster than the command line :)

What the heck is going on during those 6 minutes? That is crazy.

🤣

So now I think I am going to have Moviemaker. I go to my add/remove programs place to make sure it is there.

It is not there.

What is there? The following garbage is there. Microsoft Autoupdate Exclusive test package, Microsoft Autoupdate Reboot test package, Microsoft Autoupdate testpackage1, Microsoft AUtoupdate testpackage2, Microsoft Autoupdate Test package3.

Garbage indeed.

Would be 100 right now if she had led out for a few more months.

at that age just knowing what a password is already a triumph

talking about skin color is not a problem. But the way you quickly put “white-black” there makes me think that, yes, indeed it’s better for you if you keep your mouth shut at work

Your thermostat has opinions now. Your television requires a login. Your car updates itself overnight, and sometimes when you start it in the morning, the interface has rearranged itself, as if someone broke in and reorganized your dashboard while you slept.

Your earbuds won’t play music until they’ve updated their firmware. Your refrigerator wants to be on your Wi-Fi.

a little repetitive but ⅓ of it was fun to read.

⅔ was better not read 🤷

how old is your grandma?

autumn with 30°c 🤷

i’m not the dev. I’m just a Homo Ludens

i play that at times. If you like puzzle games, you will probably like simon tatham’s puzzles too

as well as Tessel. I remember posting it on this community last year

now i get it, thanks.

In 1953 Mayer interviewed ten male residents of “Kronenberg” (in reality Marburg) to understand how ordinary Germans felt about Nazi Germany. The town, located in Hesse with a population of 20,000 and a university, was controlled by the United States during the postwar period of occupation. The interviews occurred during Mayer’s term at Frankfurt University’s Institute for Social Research as a visiting professor. All ten were in the lower middle class. The author was not a German speaker, and the men did not speak English.

The interviewees had the following occupations: baker, cabinetmaker, bank clerk, bill collector, law enforcement officer, salesperson, student, tailor, and teacher. Walter L. Dorn of the Saturday Review wrote that the interviewees were from a pro-Nazi bloc that was the “anti-labor, anti-capitalist, and anti-democratic lower middle class”. The tailor had served a prison sentence for setting a synagogue on fire, but the others were never found to have actively attacked Jewish people. Mayer read the official case files of each interviewee.

The author determined that his interviewees had fond memories of the Nazi period and did not see Adolf Hitler as evil, and they perceived themselves as having a high degree of personal freedom during Nazi rule, except for the teacher. Additionally, barring said teacher, the subjects still disliked Jewish people. Mayer found that he sympathized with the personable qualities of his interviewees, though not their beliefs. Mayer did not disclose to the interviewees that he read their case files, nor that he was Jewish. Ernest S. Pisko of the Christian Science Monitor wrote “Had they known [that Mayer was Jewish] they would not have spoken frankly to him.” Pisko concluded that, therefore, the relationship built by the author and the interviewees was on “false pretenses.” At the time of the interviews, the interviewees were still not in favor of the democratic Bonn government. Pisko added that the interviewees could have objected to political developments that came had they known they would come, but that they failed to foresee how Nazi rule would develop.

The end of the book describes how the post-World War II United States took a pro-militarization stance, in the context of the Cold War, after initially rejecting the idea of militarizing Germany.

this is the book that answered most of my questions on that (But today we are seeing it happen in real time in America and yet no one is truly trying to stop it.) subject ☞https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_Thought_They_Were_Free

what makes them “failures”?

i hate windows and i don’t use Ubuntu but it’s difficult to consider Microsoft or Canonical as failures.
