swearing is pretty normal in austria. I know a few people who don't swear and it's even somewhat weird.

not EVs. public transport. or at least mostly that and a little EVs

that's iceland. they don't have potholes, because none of their streets get very old, see exhibit A

It's so funny because in the article it is even mentioned, that the agricultural minister did the same thing a few weeks ago, but he is from the chancellors party, the People's Party. Also, Nehammer (the chancellor) doesn't dissolve the government because his party is scared shitless of elections right now. They would (and in November at the general elections probably will) be painfully reduced. Sadly in favor of the super right wing FPÖ (fReEdOm party 🤡, as in freedom to be an asshole).

have a look at nix

Wir hatten das in Österreich 2001 bis 2007. ÖVP (CDU-equiv, nur korrupter) koaliert mit FPÖ (AfD-equiv, nur älter) um sie zu "entzaubern" (und natürlich nicht die Macht zu verlieren). Das mündete darin, dass sich die Rechten am Staat gütlich getan haben und die gerichtlichen Nachspiele immer noch andauern. Gleiches gilt für das kurze Zwischenspiel 2017 - 2019, das mit dem Ibiza-Video geendet hat.

I don't have first hand experience with it, I also don't get how it would help me. Maybe I need to look at it some more.

As an embedded firmware guy for 10ish years:

C can die in a fire. It's "simplicity" hides the emergent complexity by using it as it has nearly no compile time checks for anything and nearly no potential for sensible abstraction. It's like walking on an infinite tight rope in fog while an earth quake is happening.

For completely different reasons: The same is true for C++ but to a far lesser extent.

notion is also not FOSS though. and i had bad experiences with the mobile app when cell service is bad.

das is so ein Brandolini's Law ding. ich unterstell deiner mutter da jetzt keine böse absicht, aber es is halt viel einfacher irgendwas zu unreflektiert wiederzugeben was man irgendwo gehört hat als sich gedanken zu machen.

I'm this close to buying a k8 ;) need to sleep over it thanks :)

thanks but no. I definitely won't learn a new keyboard layout.
