Interestingly to me, Arendt makes a good case that fascism is distinct from totalitarianism. It's possible to have a fascist government that is authoritarian and dictatorial, but not fully totalitarian. It's also possible to have a totalitarian government based on a system other than fascism.

Agreed, it's some sort of a Venn diagram of "traits" present in both -isms.

Now is a good time to read Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism.

Also Umberto Eco's essay Ur-Fascism.

There's an explanation somewhere as to why. It has to do with "not breaking" stuff relying on it. So I guess it only answers "why we won't fix it".

Anyway, I don't think this is enough. Or I guess it only works to stop the trigger during install? I have the NO_AUTO_UPDATE set up, and recently needed to update (or upgrade? who knows) a single package and it somehow ended up with Homebrew working for over two hours. I saw it installing python at least two times.

That's not a proper explanation IMO. The thing is - all these settings are introduced "quietly" as new defaults and you have to opt out. So one day you decide to upgrade a package, brew updates itself, and then starts doing all these things that weren't present before (and are most likely not needed at all). It's very annoying, and a dark pattern to say the least.

Out of curiosty, why the last one? If you update a package, generally you don't need the old version, why would you keep it around? I can imagine this being useful in some edge cases, but as a global setting, I'm not so sure.

nuxi · 7 months ago

I got bitten by broken upgrades in the past, when you were still able to simply "brew switch" to the old version if it was there. In addition the cleanup time is annoying when upgrading a lot of packages, so I kept the setting.

Add this to your shell profile:

  export HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1
  export HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS=1

Why these aren't the defaults, I don't know.

nuxi · 7 months ago

Maybe also these, to limit other annoyances:

  export HOMEBREW_NO_EMOJI=1
  export HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS=1
  export HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP=1

I don't think they create it, they just use some template that comes with it.

And then they don't ever open the page, right?

Is there any reason why most TVs still don't support USB C display port and just support HDMI?

With the recent drama around HDMI vs. Foss drivers on Linux, I'm curious why haven't we seen that bigger push from TV vendors to support USB C display port.

Most of my monitors work with USB C, Even consoles like steam deck, a lot of high end phones seem to support USB C.

So... Are there any features of HDMI that USB C display port doesn't support?

nuxi · a year ago

CEC is probably one of them, but I'm not sure that's a bad thing.

Shiny happy people is so non- REM by REM. It is just out of place.

That's an illustration of the difficulties. I got the disk, video dvd and even drank the coffee but I initially thought the notebook was some sort of box for the video so didn't realise you could open it to read!

I think that's on purpose/by design, so that users are nudged into exploring. Things like these were pretty common in adventure games back in the days, which I probably spent too much time on playing...
