Its a problem, if most of the real estates are in the hands of foreign companies. Who ownes the land, the oil and gas fields, the power plants, lithium and uranium? Who ownes Black Rock?
I think that most of the paper dollars are in the hands of US citicens.
Re. 1c97c : We have now [1913 and onwards] a situation in which U.S. citizens have been hoodwinked into accepting paper money which is owned by foreign corporations. More recently, U.S. citizens are allowing themselves to be hoodwinked into accepting bitcoin which is owned by foreign corporations. In both instances, it's the foreign ownership which is the problem. I'll want to review my notes on this, - but that's what I remember just now.

@kat If you’re willing to ignore that it’s proprietary software, then Windows used to be pretty good. Like, 25 years ago. After Windows 2000 (or maybe XP) it went downhill fast. Kind of makes me sad, actually. 😂

Ah, so apparently they don’t like writing manpages anymore and instead use XML:

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/apt.8.xml

And then they use XSLT on top and what not:

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/manpage-style.xsl.cmake.in

It’s not even explicitly *blue*:

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/doc/apt.ent?ref_type=heads#L17

Abstractions upon abstractions upon abstractions.
@kat Oh no. 😨 Backups! We need more backups!
You can explicitly use colors in manpages. I saw this in the apt manpage of Ubuntu recently, which, for some reason, uses blue text in one place:

https://movq.de/v/de5ab72016/s.png

Makes little sense to me. I’m glad that most manpages don’t do this. I wouldn’t want unicorn vomit all over the place.

Using colors can be done using the low level commands \m and \M:

.TH foo_program 3
\m[blue]I'm blue\m[], da ba dee.
\m[red]\M[yellow]I'm red on yellow.\m[]\M[]
This is quite horrible.

@jost Hey 👋
June 21st, 1789 - The Constitution for the United States of America is ratified, with New Hampshire becoming the ninth state to ratify. Article I, Sections 9 and 10 of the Constitution contain provisions which clearly prohibit the federal government and the states from granting titles: "No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign State. No State shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex postfacto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility." However, no penalty for violating the Article is specified.

@eldersnake Yeah, it’s really the last thing we need. I’d love to see X11 getting more attention – but not like this …
Distrobox is pretty handy and kind of amazed I haven't played with it before now. I wanted to quickly try out Proton's Authenticator they just released, but they only had binaries for Ubuntu and Fedora (naturally), but I'm on Void Linux on this laptop.

Installed the latest basic Fedora image with Distrobox, used dnf to install the downloaded rpm file within it, and presto, running the app within Void like I'd just downloaded it though the normal repos.
Certainly explains why in some parts of the interwebs I've noticed RWNJs suddenly hating on anything Wayland and pushing XLibre.

Wild when display servers become political battlegrounds.

Make America Great Again
The 'god bless' line about Trump ?? Did John Glanton tell you to say that ? If yes, then why did you listen ?? Here in the United States of America we live in allegiance to our Republic. To whom has Trump ever shown any allegiance ? A god might possibly bless him, I've no doubt that he needs it rather desperately, - and anyway, gods tend to be trans-national.

@bender This should be a core feature, no configuration required. 🤔
"Num momento em que a UE deve investir numa maior utilização de renováveis e na suficiência energética como meios para aumentar a sua resiliência ambiental e económica, este suposto acordo comercial agora firmado vem aumentar a dependência dos combustíveis fósseis (importados), pôr em perigo os objetivos de descarbonização (que já ficam aquém do que a ciência indica que seria necessário) e dar um sinal contrário à sociedade e aos mercados.

A ZERO, tal como o EEB, apela ao Parlamento Europeu e aos Estados-Membros para que analisem e rejeitem quaisquer elementos do acordo que prejudiquem os objetivos climáticos, a soberania energética ou a credibilidade internacional da Europa."

So I went to see the documentation:

https://hugovk-pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/Image.html#PIL.Image.fromarray

And came out empty handed, that is, couldn't understand what to do instead :(

And the plot thickens (this affects many projects, there are some workarounds, but some argument about "reverting" this change allowing some "mode" on import):
