Exactly what I was thinking, but couldn’t remember the name of the book anymore
Thank you very much!

Doesn’t it depend on the ritual?
The corner in which you’re starting and ending should have a meaning and should set the subconscious for the ritual as symbol.

At least that’s the idea, as far as I’ve understood it

Had a cat who woke me up that way

My mother couldn’t get me out of bed, so she just sent the cat, which would do under the blankets and bite my toes.

If I resisted to much though, she would get caring and start to grab my head and lick my hair - always the same place, until it would get sore, and hung over teenager me gave in and still got up.

She would often sleep in my hands at night, curled up under the blanket. But in the morning, she was my mother’s demon to kill my dreams…

As said, I was young…

Spicy upfront

I was 16 and saved all my money for my own laptop.

Was looking at a MacBook Pro, which was sold on eBay as an outlet unit with minor defects (like scratches) for a third less.

Bought it and sent my money through Western Union just to never see it - or any laptop - again

16 year old me was more than heart broken…

First read it as “after doing the whole squad” and took me a bit to figure out…

I’m also having much less bees (and most other insects, besides some pests) around here, even my tomatoes on the balcony are not fruiting, because there seem to be no pollinators

I’m in Austria/Europe btw

Yeah, because authoritarian systems always fail, without exception

The only real solution is to remove authority and bring society to adult level - better the other way round though.

Ah, thank you!
I was trying to decipher everything else on the package…

adding that it won’t use your messages, calls, or groups to inform its ads.

I thought they used some E2E implemented for them by the Signal team.
Have they already butchered it completely?

Thought about that second interpretation after posting my answer
Could have easily interpreted it the same way…

Still somehow enjoyed the video

I think, I even knew this prototype from another article. But was fun seeing it put to test and partly disassembled

Fuck…

Does it run on Linux?

In general, I’m with you
But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn’t finished/working as it should.
Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.

Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn’t clean yet.

But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it’s better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don’t try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell

Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?

An upvote wasn’t enough.
Thank you!

I have only skimmed the eureka alert article, but already on the surface it’s so much better than… whatever the fuck that originally-linked thing is.

My ISA Fritz! ISDN card fucking killed me…
I could, and did, live with the terminal for quite some while, surfing with Links, listening to music and even watching videos. Besides the obvious open IIRC chat in one terminal.
But the Fritz Card was horrible to setup. I need to say, that it was ok, when it worked, but as far as I remember, I needed to compile the kernel with support for it and afterwards needed to configure some memory or bus addresses somewhere.

As this was my only computer as a teenager, this was just a horrific experience. Cutting myself off from the information live line multiple times until I got it right.
Also setting up dual boot the first time was a fun adventure…

Just wait for Hurd!
Hurd will kick all those little asses, you’ll see, whenever it comes out!
And then GNU will be really independent and superior!
Can just be like a few years now!

Edit: I shouldn’t type anymore today …
