Nooooo :/ Then I have no more time to go running after work in the fall and spring :c

Maybe we need “winter time” in the summer and “summer time” in the winter?

(half trolling)

In the political context of where I live, this reminds me of those in the socialist party that are against a Universal Basic Income.

I had to use Adobe Illustrator for work (I am a big noob). Their curvature tool is much more pleasant than the pen tool for defining bezier curves. Is there something similar in the works (or already available?) for Inkscape?

(Also does someone know how that tool work to infer how to place the handles for the bezier curves?)

Can someone explain how portability is still an issue? Are there no cross-platform API and libraries that allow developpers to write portable apps?

I am failing to recognise if this is satire or not. Maybe my geography is too bad, but what waterway are you talking about? Israel is not strategically significant four the Suez canal, is it?

I can’t unsee it now :(

SEO breaks the web, writer was a hero :)

1, a, 3 ?

(I just find it weird people write their 2s as ‘a’…)

I don’t want to diminish the talent of the historian in vain but past performance is not always an indicator of being good at predictions, he might just have been lucky in a completely random guess 9 times out of 10. Given the amount of historians making such predictions it is not unlikely that such an historian exists and it would be fairly easy to mistake their success for talent.

I don’t know where I found this but I found a scheme somewhere to scam some investors: Find a large list of potential victims. Tell one part of it that you predict that market will do A, and the other part that the market will do B. Repeat the process several times, selecting only the investors to whom you’ve always told the correct prediction. Eventually you will have a handfull of people who have “solid proof” that you are a visionnary and you can scam them.

Again, I absolutely do not mean to say that this particular historian is bad. This story just reminded me of these ideas and I wanted to share.

Not that you will care: Switzerland passed a similar constitutional amendment in 2021, with no exception for religious purposes. It was proposed by a right wing party with barely hidden anti-muslim sentiment. It’s one of the many recent moves that, in my view, makes my country more vulnerable to authoritarian drifts as it makes it harder to conceal one’s identity in protests. There is a difference it seems to the law discussed in this article in that in switzerland the fine is not automatic. it only occurs when someone refuses to uncover their face when asked to.

Why is the fact check bot being downvoted? Is it reputed to be itself biased and wrong?
