AOSP. Sad but true.

When first pinephone came out I really believed it's heading somewhere. It thought that it will be kind of like raspberry Pi (fun, cheap platform to play with) and that we'll quickly see copycats and it will slowly grow the way Linux on desktop did. AFAIK nothing like this happened. You still can't get a phone with decent Linux support which for me shows that we're stuck with android. I think most people that would help Linux phone happen are simply satisfied with LineageOS so there's no incentive to put as much effort into it as it requires.

translation: his greatest achievement has been not being Trump

No, the achievement was actually winning the election. Unlike Hilary for example.

This story was also told in a movie. I don't remember which one.

  • opens file in nvim, can edit code immediately, code is processed in the background and info appears after ~30 seconds
  • opens Idea project, everything is unresponsive for a minute

Yep, I will stick to nvim.

You spelled vim wrong.

No, it doesn't. First, changing constitution would be impossible. Two, even if you did all this it would just make right wing states get even more extreme (there's nothing in the plan that would let central government protect human and constitutional rights in red states).

Unfortunately US political system wasn't designed in a way that let's it change with time. To introduce big reforms like this it would pretty much have to collapse and be rebuild from scratch. Realistic way to make things better is simply organizing locally to inform/educate people about progressive/socialist policies, electing moderate/progressive politicians to take over Democratic party and simply creating a political force that can actually oppose Republicans instead of trying to comprise all the time.

No so long ago it was generally accepted that Republicans will always be a minority party. They managed to take over the government though smart PR, well organized (dis)information campaigns and long term, bottom-up work to take over institutions. Now Democrats have to do the same.

In Spain we do cured goat/sheep cheese and some cured ham/salchichon. Put that between fresh, home made bread and your golden.

Or you can make your sandwich at home and wrap it in some food grade wrapping material (like aluminum foil).

I'm smart and I'm mostly fine with my minority dying out. It's definitely sad that in 50 years people will look at things my people created and will not understand any of it but then again, it's a natural process. I'm sure our art will somehow influence their art and in a way it will live on.

Life hack: you take some bread, put some ham and cheese on top of it, put another slice of bread on top and boom! you've got food! If you're feeling fancy you add tomato, lettuce, hard boiled egg, tuna or anything else.

Brexit was the perfect example of how this works: one direct policy change, clear predictions from experts what will happen, clear statements from EU, clear success/failure criteria (better trade deals, stronger economy). 7 years later if couldn't be clearer how complete failure it was but the party that did it is still going strong. Their excuse? The idea was right but the execution was flawed. Also it's still better then what the other party would have done.

It will be the same in Argentina. Whatever will happen they will simply claim they did the right thing, it's their opponents sabotaging their work that responsible for the failure, it would be even worse had they not done it, they are the only ones that can fix it. People expecting that everyone will just agree that what they did was stupid are delusional. It never happens.
