But what did you learn? What are we supposed to learn? Did you get any context, like how he actually went to anger management therapy later?

Or is this just guffawing and gawping at an old angry email from a tech celebrity?

This mail is 13 years old, and doesn’t seem relevant for anything? This post seems like a lazy attempt at shit-stirring.

Really, the only difference is how much blood you want to see. Result’s pretty much the same.

Considering modern US history you could put them in high school, I guess?

Depends on your country. In countries with proportional representation you can vote for the party you like. If you’re voting tactically you’re down to the coalition you like.

E.g. here in Norway we get minority coalitions all the time. It’s fine. They have to (gasp) cooperate with others to get anywhere.

Yeah, let’s have a go with the ACI (anti-coercion instrument) and see if we can’t make their patents free game. Playing to Trump’s tune is unlikely to work out well

One rather obvious reason is that society has a lot of greybeards in general. The baby boomer generation was named that for a reason, and people have been living longer on average. Lots of countries are struggling with the demographic effects. There’s no reason to expect that tech or something even more specific like FOSS would be exempt.

Another aspect here is that FOSS is still kind of new in society. There’s just more people who have had the chance to age into FOSS greybeards than when those greybeards were young. (And they were thus likely to a lesser degree blocked by entrenched greybeards when they were getting started.)

This needs some work to reconcile with how Trump appears to act towards the pretty poor Russia vs the wealthy EU, though.

Likely he’s just personally uncomfortable with powerful allies, and would rather have weak & subservient underlings. That this would leave the US worse off seems to be a sacrifice he’s willing to have the Americans make.

Yeah, it’s essentially a weathervane or thermometer. You can indicate the state of a country by it.

At this point the US has joined the ranks of, well, grim theocracies. Not that the people at the top in the US worship anything but Mammon.

I had to figure out how to do the factory reset at the gym after I got the blue triangle of death when leaving work. Oddly enough it synced the gym plan I wanted and leaving it connected to the phone didn’t seem to produce any other ill effects, but I stayed away from anything using GPS.

But yeah, the general advice for Garmins just now seems to be “just don’t” and hope it doesn’t triangle itself until the fix is out

They’re stuck in a reboot loop, but not bricked. A factory reset works (but the problem may reappear on update).

Yeah, I switched to deezer then, haven’t had any trouble with it.

You do sometimes have to worry about that weird g without the leg, though. But it’s normal to them, so they don’t guestion it. :^)

Batteries seem to work fine in rural Norway. If you live somewhere warmer and/or with a bigger population or population density than Norway, you should be fine.

Good thing “oligarch” is just used when describing Russian conditions. That would neeeever happen here in the west.
