Paul Krugman breaks out the C-word.
"we may already have experienced what amounts to a 21st-century coup. There may not be tanks in the streets, but effective control of the government [...] out of the hands of elected officials."

The FB exodus seems to be branching to #Friendica as well, which I absolutely haven't figured out at all.
But I'm nikodemus@capybara.community there.

I've seen some discussions on how people feel about #work recently. I honestly think we would be better off if more of us would (could!) do work that is clearly beneficial to the society.
Like, I'm not setting a high bar here. A lot of service industry passes with ease. Arts and sciences obviously. Manufacturing of necessary and quality goods. Agriculture. Healthcare. Journalism.
A lot of IT jobs don't pass. Most of advertising doesn't pass. A lot of banking doesn't pass...

US is doing full on great leader fascism, and European leaders are competing for the brownest nose. Good times ahead.
"Have you tried turning civilization on and off again?"
Have we decided to turn off the lights and watch the pretty flames instead? I'm not sure we can turn this thing back on.

Context is for name of a software release, which fell into the trap of dead European dudes for three first versions (Amadeus, Beethoven, and Chopin) and we want to break the streak. Allowing the sausage fest to continue would be easy, but breaking the streak across all dimensions would be better.

Lazyweb, help! Looking for a name of a not-white not-male not-alive composer, producer, or musician whose name starts with a D. Classical, modern, popular, ethnic, ... all genres are fine.

Short version: despite winning little, the decade long court antitrust battle was deeply traumatic to Microsoft - so much so that they started shying away from anti-competitive tactics that used to be their bread and butter.

After some trial and error I got a very nice espresso out of it. It's a lighter roast (medium) than what I would normally pick up (very dark), and the result was fruitier and less intense than I'm used to, but very aromatic and light on the tongue - not overly acidic. ❤️ ☕

These days I'm 90% a tea drinker, and I'm trying to limit my caffeine intake for sleep related reasons. I drink one or two espresso-based drinks per week, at most - plus a few cups emergency coffee at school when needed.
...but I miss making and drinking good coffee at home. Because James Hoffman told me (in a youtube video, that is...), that "decaf can be delicious", I decided to give Dekaffa by kaffaroastery.fi a try.

Is advance (as modifier meaning ahead of normal schedule) vs advanced a type of mistake native speakers make?
Like saying meaning "advance payment" or "advance visits" or whatever, but using "advanced"?

For lovers of computer history, what TECO code looked like.
(Way before my time, and on a wrong continent, but I'm fascinated by this stuff.)

The question marks in the image are missing characters in the font (control characters, probably?), but escape sequences are the way they should be.
