That’s about par for the course.

So far, the current UK government seems to realise they’ve lost their voters; thus they’re trying to appeal to the opposition’s voters.

The trouble is, no-one really wants censorship laws save for small (but vocal) pockets religious nuts masquerading as feminists.

We’ve normalised “if you are against x, you are a vile monster” kind of thinking; and thus we are now facing sweeping censorship.

A lot of the issue with logic problems is the “common sense” element required. With purely geometric problems, there are less of these to worry about.

Chess problems also work well to teach logical step application.

I can’t comment about anywhere else, but the UK job market broke down pre-COVID.

Post-COVID it has gotten even worse as even more skills are automated. About the only job sectors actively recruiting are the NHS (primarily nurses), STEM teachers (primary/secondary), retail, and hospitality.

They’re all high stress with a comparatively low wage - the latter 2 tend not to pay living wages and also tend to be “shift work” (i.e. 0 hour contracts).

For those of us holding other jobs, this market has led to wage squeezes and a sharp decline in working conditions. Most folks have taken an effective pay cut, and workload models are squeezing more tasks into each role.

Overall, it’s a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

I’m the guy in the background saying “go back to teaching Euclid and proof in schools”, as the real point was to teach logical deduction from established facts.

Pay or ok? No thankee!

Dear gods… Is that user deluded?

I’m ok with this - lubuntu has my back.

Any good alternatives for those of us stuck in “pay or ok” land?

Darkest dungeon - though you need to make it to the ending to find out why you’re evil.

Honestly? I’m on the 3rd cycle with my AAAs (used for an MP3 and small electronics) and the 2nd for my AAs.

I’ve not noticed them lasting less, and I’ve already made back what disposables would cost.

Bonus: I charge them at work because why not.

1. Migrate code and back it up
2. Set up local AI
3. Have local AI “patch” your github code by converting the entire program into brainfuck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck?wprov=sfla1)
4. Merge patched version to GitHub
5. Profit

It’s a fun game for short sessions - you can also drop out mid-mystery and easily pick up again a week later!

The fact we have to check tells us a lot about the state of the world.

Apples to oranges - open source is generally done as a charitable act; onlyfans is a profit driven industry.

The former is out to make the software ecosystem richer, the latter is out to make themselves richer (or has no choice).

An interesting note is that OF replaced the informal system that had evolved on Tumblr, and was designed to be less exploitative than mainstream pornography - in this the evidence suggests it has been successful. It, of course, exploits male loneliness like a well oiled machine, but that’s (apparently) ok.

Does this mean I’m non-trinary?

So essentially laying the groundwork to microtransactions for video game guides?

Honestly, shout out to the folks who maintain packages, Linux error logs are very searchable and readable.

I usually just scan the terminal logs looking for error flags and then search for them to see if they’re something that can, and should be, fixed.

Amnesty international is a great source for current atrocities nations undertake.
