Is there any way to get push notifications instead of polling? My email provider is Fastmail, maybe there are some kind of IMAP extensions that can do this?

Push support has been there for a long time now. You can enable it on a per-folder basis, check in Manage folders.

They were in sorta different places then . . .

Remember that big hot war in the 90s?

And there was that thing in the 40s, too . . .

Ah, when the Servians shot down the invisible airplane, because they didn't see it. I remember :-)

The teachers misspelled Serbia and Romania, but expect little American kids to know where these are.

Arguably, the fix for that is to run filter-branch, remove the offending binary, teach and get everyone setup to use git-lfs for binaries, force push, and help everyone get their workstation to a good place.

Far from ideal, but better than having a large not-even-used file in git.

filter-repo is the recommended way these days:

Poland imports slightly more from Germany than it exports to it, and isn't in the top 5 countries that Germany imports electricity from.

> Poland imports slightly more from Germany than it exports to it

Why do they import/export the same product between each other?

Honest question. In general, not just about Poland and Germany.

The EU just throws too much money around without checking.

I've seen whole parks being built with a huge sign saying funded by the EU but they never opened or even built an entrance to it. Because that would mean maintenance and the subsidy had already been cashed.

I don't think it's corruption per se on the part of the EU (it is on the builders' part of course). But rather a lack of interest in how the money is spent.

I saw an asphalted road on the mountain ridge, along the E-3 hiking route, in a national reserve territory, with a EU funding sign saying that it was built "for the benefit of the local species".

The road leads to a chalet, and the only one who it benefits is the chalet's owner, making it easier for his drunkard customers to drive right to it on the weekends, with zero walking involved.

When I moved to Hawaii, that was my first time in small-town America and my first time living on an island.

It was impossible to be alone and everyone knows everything if you have any friend group. That bothered me, at first.

For the first… month… I felt like I had to be on my best, most generic, behavior. It made my think twice about hookups and which women to pursue. I distinctly remember being in the backseat of a car playing with glowsticks with a lady, and I was just like “nah.” and left. For superficial reasons along with not being that interested, but thinking about the social consequences more than I would in a big city. I would have made out at least otherwise.

But after that I went super polarizing and things got way more fun. More partying, more raunchiness, more visibly. Some of my other tech transplant friends had an issue, but the far more attractive people I wanted loved it.

and that's why I don’t think constant surveillance will have that specific outcome. Maybe less murder and assault? But people might define themselves and self segregate more greatly than before

The mass surveillance in question will likely lead not to an "everyone knows everyone" society like that in your story, but to a "the government and the big corporations know everyone" one.
