@vu3rdd Congrats. 🎉

@jenn Those mostly empty shelves and a dirty mirror remind me my childhood in a satellite state of Soviet Union.

@technomancy Though not very visible, UT is a technology as advanced as replicators, teleportation or warp drive. UT doesn’t reshape vocal cords or affects our speech system in any way (human speech system cannot even produce sounds necessary to communicate with some species) but on quantum level it manipulates already generated waves to deliver translation directly to ears. Like TARDIS. 🤯

@kk
FYI pkill9 is implementing an equivalent of
https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-fhs-environments for Guix System https://gitlab.com/pkill-9/guix-services/blob/master/pkill9/services.scm#L326
so we could pretend that we’re on a traditional distro where blobs can work out-of‑the‑box.

@kk No such thing yet.

@sebsauvage Let’s sprinkle some viral marketing buzzwords on that modern web framework!

@jenn Thank you!

@jenn That's the funniest episode of The Office that I’ve ever watched.

@bignimbus Very slick looking 3d printer. Congrats.

@ayo My take is that hype is *generated* by throwing a lot of money at marketing to sell the latest *product*.

Via simple means like buying airtime on 100 Youtube channels with substantial influence over period of two weeks. That initial organized push starts a hype wave and we all start getting an impression that ‘everyone talks about that new thing’. 🤷

The only free cheese is in a mousetrap.

@mdallastella Ty. In my native language I also see plenty of words that are similar in pronunciation or notation but have a vastly different etymology. Similarity alone is not a sufficient evidence.

Alas mainly Alinei makes that claim (also that Slavs = Slaves):

Riflessioni intorno a un saluto: la storia di "ciao"

@bxtn If you prefer it then use it! Nothing wrong with EIEIO in general. But for me, *personally*, it’s much easier to reason about a (pure) functional code. I don’t want to use (or invest time into) tools that are difficult *for me* to fix/improve. So I guess we are in the same but opposite situation.

@otini @mdallastella Heh, I’ve seen so many errors there that I cannot accept that as a scientific source. Wikipedia is also often wrong but they at least link to sources so we can verify the topic.
I’m interested in it cuz there’s a narration that word ‘Slaves’ comes from ‘Slavs’. So there’s a lot of untrue (often ideological) resources around that (charged) word in general.

@mdallastella please could you share sources confirming that ‘ciao’ comes from ‘sciavo’?
