Ironically, I just spent a day last weekend writing my own version control system for large files

I dislike git-annex that much.

- it converts your files into blobs and bloats your file system

- As others have previously alluded, my primary use case is to ensure sync between distributed files, not version them (why would anyone possibly need that??)

- You can use AI to build a python based solution that will hash your files and put them into a lookup table, then create some helper methods to sync sources using rclone

Far simpler and more efficient methods exist.

Why are there so many Chicanos in prison? Anything to do with the systemic racism that the movement is about? Calling the "symbology" gang-connected is not the slam dunk argument you seem to think it is.

That's right. All demographic groups commit crime at more or less an equal rate. Just those who are discriminated against get caught more often.

You should probably educate yourself in the most basic way about what the chicano movement is before spouting off AI slop racism.

Yeah, maybe read the article. Maybe see pictures of the subject of the article. Then tell me that symbology connects to a collective movement for exploited migrants.

Why is chicano culture "antisocial, criminal, and destructive"?
the_absurdist · 3 months ago
What did my post say? Did it reference "this symbology" OR did it reference "Chicano culture" in the following statement:

"Everyone knows (including the Vietnamese barber) the deep, inextricable connection this symbology has to antisocial, criminal, and destructive behavior."

Looks like you equate Chicano culture to face tattoos, hair nets, and gangster clothing...not me.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Surfingkeys https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys. I switched over from Vimium a couple years ago. I think its more performant than Vimium and also allows you quite a bit more flexibility in your configuration.

I prefer and recommend browser add-ons over Nyxt. You'll get more compatibility by being able to use Chrome/Firefox. You'll also have a much higher chance of being able to use the same environment at work - since you can typically still install browser add-ons in developer mode even if you aren't able to get rights to install apps.

If I don't do anything about this, I am the problem. Government is us. Our responsibility to design, implement, and hold accountable.

Talking about what happened isn't enough. Carlos Jaile lost his entire adult life because of systemic failures in the justice system. This needs to be fixed not only for Carlos but for everyone.

What needs to be changed and how?

In the US we must stop referring to drug addicts as "homeless" when they have been turned away from public or temporary housing because they have elected to do drugs instead.

It's obvious that this creates a misleading perception among the public about the causes of people living outside the social norm of paying for the right to stay in a private space.

The danger of that is that when unchecked, the public votes and government acts based on this misconception. That converts to public policy which aims to solve the wrong problem at the cost of the wrong people.
