WYSIWYM for the win

Humans are so silly

It may be cause English is not my mother tongue but isn’t it the other way around? That the NBPC is affiliated with AFGE?

(The fact that the NBPC is a member of the AFL-CIO is a shame for all the unions of the AFL-CIO)

That wasn’t the pure racism part?

It’s racism only if it’s about the US part of North America. Otherwise it’s sparkling xenophobia.

I love typewriters. When I write with them, I write differently than when I write with my computer. Just one example: if I write something i find shitty with my computer, I just delete it; if i do it with my typewriter, I have to physically strike the “bad” text. This has two consequences : I have to think more of what I’m writing, and if i finally change my mind the bad text is still there for me to work again or put somewhere else in my text. The “tangibleness” is important not only for conservation reasons.

But computers are better at sharing what in wrote, and polishing my texts. I like to scan and OCR-ize my pages and finishing the work on a computer. I don’t oppose analog and digital, but i find it sad that most people chose one (the digital generally) and reject the other. It’s like not using your left hand.

He was quite fond of his .45 I read somewhere; but I don’t know shit about firearms.

Of course science evolves, but that shouldn’t be a reason for a vulgarization book to teach something else than the scientific consensus of the time.

I didn’t read Sapiens, but if this book claim that homo sapiens is responsible for the disappearing of Neanderthals, you can close it. This idea was disproven by research long ago: when sapiens arrived in Europe, Neanderthals were already on the verge of disappearing.

I wouldn’t say the RSF is atheistic, but it’s a secular group, in a country which was islamist until 2019. Officially, the regular forces are secular too, as the religions and the State were separated after the protests of 2018-2019, so it’s not the main difference.

I’d say it’s mainly a fight between two dictators who tried to form an alliance but were not capable of sharing the power. There’s a little more ideological diversity within the regular forces though, as the RSF is deeply and strongly Arab-supremacist.

Meanwhile, only 13% of Russians go to church, mosque, etc. regularly. Religion is not their reason to go there.

I don’t feel a sense of accomplishment, just relief.

As a very liberal and active European Protestant, I would add that, unfortunately, American evangelicalism exerts a strong influence on European Protestantism. The Lutheran Church of Latvia, for example, decided a few years ago to stop ordaining women pastors. In my (French) church, new pastors are on average more conservative than their predecessors (but the remaining liberal pastors are even more so than their predecessors). Evangelicals have the resources and use them extensively; they are winning the cultural battle, unfortunately. Protestant churches are still resisting, but we will have to learn to make ourselves heard if we don’t want sectarianism to set us back a century or two.

Me!

Thanks! That’s a great news! Debian, then, it’ll be.

Sorry to have bothered you all!

Oh thanks, I stand corrected.
