@WeTheBrandon The 8 days of remembrance are because it still works so well.

It’s interesting that US Congress has an eight day period of remembrance while Germany, the nation that perpetrated the Holocaust, has only one day (Jan 27). Why is that? The Holocaust is a tragedy but America ended that tragedy by winning WW2.

@kivilcimiol @igor_os777 Yes, none of it is hard. But all of it combined is a permanent headache, because Linux is full of these kinds of oddities and pits of failure.

@ewjonker @igor_os777 They aren't, it's quite simple to memorize tbh

Ever wondered why Windows uses backslashes (\) while Unix stubbornly sticks to forward slashes (/)? Blame IBM and Microsoft’s shortsightedness in DOS. Unix pioneered forward-slash file separation, a sensible design choice adopted in URLs. When MS-DOS added directories, forward slashes already had another job—command-line options. In a panicked rush, Gates and company arbitrarily chose backslashes. Cue decades of pain for generations of IT admins juggling both OSes. One tiny decision, forever cursing humanity with confusing slashes, awkward escapes, and decades of ranting from frustrated Unix beards. You can practically hear Unix devs laughing all the way from Bell Labs.

@kivilcimiol @igor_os777 Yes, but allowing this is professional degeneracy of the bearded old men. If ls shows me 'my new file.txt' like this, I'm not even sure the quotes are in the filename or not. This is just one of these reasons why nothing is ever fast to accomplish in Linux.

@ewjonker @igor_os777 Backslash is the major escape character separator since almost all major and minor programming languages descend from C which uses backslash as the escape character

@RainerS2066246 @igor_os777 True men use US keyboards. We Dutch changed the US keyboard pretty much only to have AltGr properly labelled. On a US keyboard you just pick US International layout. Just learn to be faster hitting Alt+225 for that odd ß if you're German 🙃

@ewjonker @igor_os777 Usable without SHIFT on english keyboards. On german 🇩🇪 keyboards it's 'AltGr + ß' somewhere in the darkest corners 😖. Similar for french 🇫🇷 and spanish 🇪🇸

@icpolicy @igor_os777 I don't have DOS near me to try, but yeah this would annoy me.

@ewjonker @igor_os777 Slashes have actually been supported ever since DOS added directory support x.com/icpolicy/statu…

@PlanetOfMemes Much too much salt?

What did I do wrong?

Definitie van autocratie, @superjan? #35 @ 1:04:10?

Definitie van autocratie, Jan? #35 @ 1:04:10? "De democratie waarin alles al vaststaat. Waarin alles nep is. Elk overleg met de overheid is nep, want uiteindelijk gaan ze je forceren." Ulsula "we've got tools" von der Leyen. De democratie met de escalatieladder is een charade.

@brockpierson It is actually now less shitty than the logo.

First thing you think of when you see this

@lippyent 33 rps is 1980 rpm. That is the typing speed of a FHD secretary.

Hmm 😒 🤔?¿

@Dolfijnmanjohns Same thing. It is a matter of succession, each of these empires providing lineage, royal blood, roles, operating schemes, institutions and influence to the successor, extending to today. Even in obvious ways, if you care to inform yourself.

I myself think about the Dutch Empire quite often.

@NoContextDutch1 No hug!? Or is that only for officials pretending to be gay?

@IRAN_in_NL Hold this line. Consistently. x.com/IRANinTJ/statu…

Trump crossed a red line. Mocking Jesus Christ is not free speech — it is blatant disrespect to billions of believers around the world. Faith is sacred & must never be used for ego or politics. #FaithMatters #JesusChrist

@IRANinTJ Tajikistan, ..., How can you take such a bad situation and screw it up even worse?! This can be criticized on so many levels. The simplest of which is that it is just incredibly crude and small minded. If this is supposed to be humour, then you have some reflection to do.

@rinusredpill Silenced conscience. Hardened heart. Wears the stare as a mark of graduation, a proof of manhood. This schoolboy was passed over for leadership in 2020. Predecessor Kaag was a diplomat, not a politician. She led because Jetten didn't have this stare yet. youtube.com/watch?v=1dGVQX…

Zware MK-Ultra vibes. Die specifieke, wezenloze staar is het resultaat van trauma-gebaseerde mind control. Er leeft daar binnenin letterlijk niemand meer, enkel nog de geprogrammeerde functies van het establishment. De waarheid staat in zijn gezicht geschreven voor wie het wil zien. #MindControl #MKUltra

@donaldgorbachev Invisibility is the selling point. 15cm² radar cross section is awesomeness gullible patriots gobbled up like cream. Other metrics are not even mentioned. No other nation has a "Stealth Fighter". Especially after Buđanovci. But congress voted for profit and it has to deliver.

The Five-Second Epistemology of How Iran Shot Down the F-35 از پیش طراحی شده. Pre-designed. Press TV published it. Iran turned the radars off on purpose. Planned for weeks. The empire spent 35 days destroying Iranian radar systems. Iran let them. Iran turned the radars off and let the empire think it worked. The empire told the F-35s the radars are down. The airspace is safe. Fly deep. Fly into Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province. Hundreds of kilometers inside Iran. The stealth doesn’t need to be stealthy because there’s no radar to hide from. It’s safe. It wasn’t safe. The radars were off. The passive infrared was on. The system that doesn’t emit. The system that reads heat not radar. The system that doesn’t care about stealth because stealth defeats radar and there was no radar. Iran turned the radars off to turn the stealth off. The F-35 flew in invisible to radar that wasn’t there. The infrared saw the engine. The engine is hot. The stealth can’t cool the engine. The $1.7 trillion program that defeats radar meeting the system that doesn’t use radar. ABC told you the radars were down. ABC thought it was the alibi. The empire briefed ABC on the trap without knowing it was the trap. The radars were down is the empire’s explanation. The radars were off on purpose is Iran’s. The empire celebrated the destruction of the radar. Iran celebrated the empire celebrating. The empire flew the F-35 into the gap the empire created. Iran was waiting in the gap with infrared. Press TV says F-35. The kitchen says F-35. Wendy Sherman hashtagged F-35. The 495th Fighter Squadron insignia says F-35. The non-magnetic fasteners on the body panel say F-35. The air intake component says F-35. Arabic Twitter confirmed F-35. The empire says F-15E. The paint says F-15E. CNN says F-15E (ذكية / هوشمند، كاملة / کامل). Day 35. Iran turned the radars off. The empire flew the F-35 into the dark. The infrared was waiting. از پیش طراحی شده. Pre-designed. Still closed. Day 35.

@lukOlejnik We already had the Fourier transform.

Physicist has written a fascinating big beautiful paper.Let’s not be afraid to call it what it is - groundbreaking. For hundreds of years, mathematics had dozens of “basic” functions: sine, cosine, logarithm, square root, exponential. You know these from school. Everyone does. Now it turns out that all of it is one single operator: E(x, y) = exp(x) - ln(y), and the constant 1. Sin, cos, π - everything follows from this neatly , just nest it properly. Nature hid the simplest possible description of reality. And it was just been found. The whole thing is beautiful and remarkable, here the word “groundbreaking” is not a marketing buzzword. For instance, instead of writing π or 3.14, one can now elegantly write E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,1),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1)),1))),1)),1)),1)),1))),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1))),1))),1)),1)),1)),1),1),1))),1))),1)),E(E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(E(1,E(1,E(E(1,1),1))),1)),E(1,1))),1))),1)),1)),1)),1) arxiv.org/abs/2603.21852

@robbertleusink The empire was Dutch. Liberal free cities. The Company. Shares. Colonial on coastal slivers. The empire fought at sea. Collateral. The Bank of England beat Napoleon. The empire fought over tea. The Federal Reserve is neither. The empire fought the Jerry. The fasces survived.

In 1581 the Dutch kicked out the King of Spain and declared themselves a republic Thomas Jefferson had Dutch law books in his library; The Declaration of Independence follows the same structure The Dutch created a female figure holding a lance topped with a cap of liberty She appeared on Dutch coins by 1694: a century before America or France The French called her Marianne Bartholdi scaled her up and put her in New York Harbour We built the image of liberty Everyone else borrowed it

@pati_marins64 It is absolutely marvellous what a few hundred million US dollars can do for a US president and his buddies. rumble.com/v78ct8i-max-bl…

Netanyahu impresses me a lot. What kind of power is this that can shatter Trump’s popularity and still continue to call the shots? What kind of symbiosis has been created that not even the threat of defeat in both chambers can stop? The White House is swimming against the internal and global current, and even so, it refuses to reassess its course.
