Nah, he’s a cool guy. Everyone around enjoys his company. A little bit of the philosopher of the town.

He does not work, if that is what you mean by giving something in return. However he also does not use many things. We live in a rich country and things are plentiful. What he gets is either stuff that people throw away or that they are happy to give him.

Everyone gets free healthcare in Spain. No matter whether you do pay taxes or not, as long as you’re a resident. There’s places where they offer showers for free in town, however I believe he doesn’t use those places and just washes in the river. To survive the cold of the winter, he has the tent and blankets. To be fair, it doesn’t get too cold where I live. It never snows. The guy goes around in shorts and sandals all year round, doesn’t appear to suffer too much cold. In fact he often complains he has to leave the tent half opened because of heat.

The place where he set up tent is private and owned by someone. It’s a small spot in the woods. Nobody could ever care less. Police can not kick him out because the place is private, and I guess the owner doesn’t give a damn and would rather have someone live there in peace rather than kick them out for no reason. He’s now been staying in that spot for over seven years. I’ve been in the place a few times as he invited me for lunch, it’s pretty nice.

Now, I’m not romanticising anything. This is not a lifestyle I would conduct. I know this is possible and works out because I know people who live this way and they are happy.

I imagine if this ever becomes a problem, they can just set th and the thorn to the same token in the LLM and it will then make no difference at all which is which.

If this ever becomes a problem in training the solution is extremely easy.

I know many people who travel from place to place in a semi nomadic life and work in the fields here and there. Never really heard any of them complaining about their life. They sure have their problems, but that’s everyone.

In many countries the concept of employment is very feeble and most people just do their things and sell them to other people. They live just fine.

I have a good friend of mine who may be related to this comic. He was a trucker and lost his job in the 2008 crisis. After that he decided he did not want to get a job anymore.

He set up a tent in the woods and lives there. He goes down town to read books every day and people give him some money. He has food, he has his place full of books and with the money he gets he can buy some wine to enjoy the day. Cool guy to be around and have nice chats.

He’s got a good life he enjoys. What should he plan for? If he ever gets sick (and with his lifestyle he really doesn’t get sick) he can go to the hospital and they’ll treat him for free. He’s got more clothes and stuff he may ever need as people just throw stuff away and he collects it. In fact he gifted me clothes, backpacks, pans and other stuff.

I do not think he needs to plan much more to maintain his lifestyle. I mean, some planning is good. I know he took down a few trees as he’s planning to make a teepee to have a better kitchen area. But I don’t think much more planning than that would significantly improve his life.

Yes, the keyring is a pain, also because I like to manually check all the keys. But then what often happens is that lots of configuration options have changed and you have to go through bunch of software to find out which exact package is now misconfigured and makes your system not work as it should.

Oh, I see. But apparently it was not communicated enough since even a police man took it as a danger.

Regarding live bullets, I was only joking. It was something done in training certain special troops in Italy during world war I. Many people died during training indeed.

That operation was not very well planned out. How do you do a training in public space without extensively informing the population beforehand?

This is the least that could happen, imagine the panic in the population which could have arisen. Possibly people having hearth attacks and stuff like that.

Besides, you’re in the military; grow up and train with live bullets.

Unless it’s for salad, I just run them under some water. Same for potatoes.

Time is too short for peeling vegetables.

Fair enough, prioritise people who actually work and do things. They deserve housing before anyone else.

Then also people who do not work and make money off of others people’s work may have a house.

Would not advise Debian to a new user. Old packages and difficulties installing non free software may frustrate people.

I did use Debian as my daily driver and I have it in a few servers, it is a very good system. But to the common user stability is not the priority which should prevail over everything else.

Rented a flat from a family for 3 years. The flat had not been renewed in over 60 years, but I was alright with that. The flat had several problems, they never wanted to fix.

One day the electrical system starts going out over and over again, fuses would burn every few days. I had to tell them that in case of fire they’d be responsible for everything I had in the house before they agreed they should fix the electric system.

Since they were going to fix the electric system, they decided to do a bit more work and change the floor and a few things more. They wanted to increase the rent 50% to account for these improvements; even though that is illegal I accepted, since they were in fact improving the flat.

I had to move out for two months while the works were going on. One week before the end of the works, the flat was really not done yet. I asked several times whether it would be ready, because I’d need to find and accomodation in the meanwhile. I asked for a discount of half a month so that I could cover expenses and because nobody knew when they would actually complete the works.

The day before I was supposed to get back into the flat, they decided that I was posing way too many conditions and kicked me out. They decided to keep the safety deposit because a plastic floor old over 60 years had started cracking. 8 months later, they still have some boxes of stuff which is mine but never have time to meet me to give it back to me.

Time has passed and I still have to go to a lawyer, because I the meanwhile I had a bunch of trouble to solve. I’m sure I can win a trial against them, but even if I do win the trial I’ll have gone through a bunch of trouble just to get my safety deposit back. I’ll be doing it just because they need to fuck off, but still…

Now, most people renting places were I live are exactly like this. It is not big corporations, it people who got one or maybe a few flats on rent.

How can this work though? I bought this from this company in Rio de Janeiro, that city is not part of deforestation. This is the GPS position of the company. This is satellite imagery of the company. The company buys stuff from other producers in Brazil, we’re confident none of those are taking place in deforested areas.

What would satellite data even be? Here you can see our satellite tracking this soy bean from when it was planted, grown, harvester and transported to Europe.

I mean, the idea does not seem bad. But how do you apply this normative?

Professors started writing books for the students to study. Will students get smarter or stop thinking?

The blackout lasted almost 24 hours where I live. But I live far away from France. I know places near France did recover in a few hours.

Somehow they believe this will increase their user base…

I live in Spain, having light at 11 pm is pretty cool.

Te technology Is not really designed to prevent that, it is designed to be decentralised. Now, email is decentralised but everyone uses Gmail.

Imagine Reddit closes and everyone from there flocks into lemmy. Will small instances stand the influx? Will single maintainers with a small server allow 10 million new users in their instance? Most likely not, either they will limit subscriptions or they’ll close down.

As such the most likely thing to happen is that someone with money opens a big instance which can host all those people. And there, you got Reddit exactly as it was.

Ah, shops where I go are not even able to tell whether the beer I’m drinking while shopping is mine or I stole from the shop. Though, they do annoy me when they say I should have left it outside. They do annoy me a lot.

I’d be amazed if you were the first person testing if those things work. However, I would not be surprised if your specific peripherals do not work as they are supposed to.

If you know someone with a Linux pc it could be easy to test it out.
