Imagine Saudi Arabia in 10 + years.

With all the weapons that they have also purchased from USA, with all the mutual agreements.

Them being a non human right country, which had abused its own powers. The alliance that it had formed with Iran and China, despite their crimes towards human rights, just as well. We're in for a hell of a future to deal with, after biden flies away with his golden parachute that is - probably in a far far away land.

And trump supporters lunatics are going to increasingly think that trump is the solution.

To hell with them all. And the grand court; what's it going to do ? Cave in to the masses demands ? It's a great feat of them, all on its own, to be complicit to all the things that has transpired thus far in the years we have endured without as much voicing their opposition to all of that which is sought to be immoral and unethical by all standards of maintaining human-rights.

Back in the day, when the government of Japan banned samurai schools, and prohibited so many dangerous weapons, the samurai got angry and revolted.

Those samurais, on the other hand, who worked closely with the government or had willingness (or had leverage by working with them), created their own "spiritual" schools, teaching aikido, kendo, and practices of spirituality, peace, and finding one's own path in life.

But now Japan thrives ever so lively. And yet, the government now carries all that stigma after the ages of samurais had passed; and for good reasons, because they do oppress people and judge them unjustly in courts.

Perhaps the sword may have not been the answer, but it is certainly not the solution either to dismantle all, including the good and the bad, for there are the protectors of peace- the sword carriers, and those whom carry weapons and guns are no different.

And there are those who are irresponsible and neglectful, and would drive opposition the opportunity for justifying radical changes. Then that radical change would be justified. Including the dismantling of weapons and their schools of thought.

So is the case that had led to this women's unfortunate circumstance.

However, I will still carry the sword to death with me.

That logo design though, 🔥 fire fire fire

Tori. Play music in your terminal. Built in rust and has great performance, and low trace on memory impact.

Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:

  • Smart screen

    • With heat resistant materials that are designed to resist high temperatures and still function properly (i.e in summer times)
    • With GPS features, and media access
  • But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.

I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it's a shame that it still costs practically the same.

Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.

There are dozens of satellites, and, o' how ironic that I have mistook this for the reachable ones !

Cut me some slack, I have been reading nothing but books about coding for the past year or so, okay !?

Wow. For real ???

You learn something new everyday.

But yeah, I never saw divers getting stunned/ killed even when diving near whales.

It could be that it never happened, but that's like such a high variance to have never happened.

Not surprised. Black rock company is probably in the lead when it comes to that.

So now they are going to send engineers to fix/ replace the unit?

Letting a billion dollar piece of equipment go to waste is not very good either.

Still not convincing me to open an account with epic games. Lol. Maybe I'm lazy ... Or don't have time !?

I edited the original post because I thought some points would have been better articulated in expressing myself, now that I took a look at it a second time. It's only paraphrasing changes and minor grammatical details, however. I assure you.

Hello everyone,

I just joined the Linux community on Lemmy.

Love Gnu/ Linux. Would love to create my own custom Linux servers and machines one day, and I'm already on that path.

(Maybe only a quarter of the way though. 😁)

I don't know what else to say, other than that the goals and admirations and aspirations of Gnu/ Linux fall in line with my personal endeavours in creating a collaborative and supportive environment that drives creativity, freedom, and independence.

This initiative comes from the beautiful but encouraging and supportive community that I had the chance to speak to and talk to (in matrix), which focused on the social values of providing free and opensource resources to people around the world - which is unfortunately neglected by many, if not exploited and abused, and not mentioned, around the world (or at least the society that I have been in contact with in my life, including in the academic aspect and the organisational aspect).

Of course, I also listened to Linus and Richard stallman respectively (I do not endorse any of RMS's political, religious, or ideological beliefs).

The building blocks upon which helped create Gnu/ Linux what it is today. The ankle point that holds many organisations and companies around the world. The hard working and faithful people that strived in creating values in all of their forms to support such initiatives.

And it reminds me of a beautiful qoute, said by [childhood] friend, Mr. Fred Rogers:

"L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux".

"What is essential is invisible to the eyes".

Originally written by good sir story writer: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. (Recommend reading chapter 10).

My nickname here (or username) does not reflect my real name, but I do find joy in nicknames too. You could call me Engelbert, for casually-endorsing-social-conversations' - sake'.

And I am here to learn, and exchange knowledge and experiences with others too ! Help and give advice, and seek out challenging issues the community may be facing.

Talk to me about anything. Religion, culture, history, politics, some good philosophy, but mostly Gnu/ Linux, Rust, design philosophy !

(If you feel that the subject is too sensitive, we may have a private council together 😀).

My goal is, as a gesture of goodwill and thanksgiving, to give back to society and give back to people who helped shape and create this society the way it is today, all things regarding Gnu/ Linux and the opensource objectives.

I have read more than 5 books in rust, and I'm still nowhere near perfect. I had more than 50+ projects in rust (small to medium, nothing crazy), had experience in C, C++, and C#.

On final note, I would like to mention these beautiful words by imam Ali: "Hide the good you do, and make known the good done to you !".


Thank you for having me !

Sir Engelbert.
