FTFY: 1000 years.

From a certain accident rate upwards, it is. Anywhere.

So, basically, he had one accident per year. And he is not smart enough to understand that the universe is trying to tell him “Don’t drive a car, then!”

As in: “Every five seconds, a woman gives birth to a child in China. We have to find that woman and stop her!”

Been there, seen that, on an Arena browser on a black-and-white X terminal.

Apart from 3., I’m in full agreement.

Good addition, I somehow forgot they had a lot of old shipping nobility there.

Spot on.

Maybe add a 5) needs to be able to export to LaTeX. It might be nice and easy to write in typst, but you’ll sooner or later hit the wall of “We accept submissions in Word and LaTeX only.”

Theoretically, that coalition should mainly consist of countries like Malta, Panama, Liberia, Bolivia, and Mongolia. The safety of ships is duty of the country under which flag they sail. I doubt any freighter down there is registered in the US or any EU state (except Malta).

Freshly certified like Staplerfahrer Klaus?

For those who don’t understand the language: This is the parody of an officially sponsored training/education film. The speaker is a well-known voice for a series of traffic safety videos that were shown weekly on TV in the 70s. It starts with the ceremony of handing out the forklift operator certificates, and then follows one of those nwly minted forklift operators, describing things one should not do around or with forklifts.

This so much needs English subtitles…

The article just describes the how, but gives no reasons for a why.

So, why would anyone move away from the de-facto standard bash, except for some rare circumstances like having a small system and using busybox?

Tom Scott did an interesting analysis of this “Batman Smells” thing

I worked with Unix before Windows was a thing. I’ve worked on windows, saw what a shitshot it was (and still is), and work with Linux instead. I do have Windows PCs at the lab for some renitent software, too, but it is always a step backwards when it comes to data procession.

That joke didn’t fly, either.

And I’m waiting until bcachefs has sufficiently spread so I can see whether it really works or not.

Depends. I do most documents in Arial and Times New Roman, as they are two of the best in legibility.

I also use DroidFonts, and some TeX-Fonts.

I just found Monaspace and I think I’ll give it a try (it is a monospace font family that does not look that much “monospacy”)

In the EU, they would tar & feather the automakers for even thinking about such an idea.

Inkscape for drawing vector images.

Loads of command line tools to process PDF files, like extracting images or text.

All those tools for automated processing of data, including script languages like perl.

The MediaWiki engine that allows me to run a local wiki at home for my hobby.

Not all of us do.

NOBODY wants Florida.
