Wow, maybe this explains why I can't hear anything in large groups of people.

Racket looks interesting. I am having trouble choosing between Racket and GNU Guile.

A huge challenge in Norway, was that all our retired ethnic Pakistani people panicked and booked flights from Pakistan to Norway. They didn't trust that Pakistani hospitals would handle the pandemic. Sweden probably has a lot more foreign residents with swedish citizenship than Norway?

Even though we have relatively few immigrants, at times, more than 50% of all the covid-infected belonged to these groups. https://www.p4.no/nyheter/over-halvparten-av-innlagte-er-inn...

Look up Andy Wingo, one of the Guile developers, and his woke crusade against Stallman. It's a mess and I haven't collected all the historical references, but some of it is referenced here: https://gnu.support/richard-stallman/Ludovic-Court%C3%A8s-Gu...

I think Guix is amazing, but I went for Nix because I want nothing to do with GNU Guile and the terrible activism and bullying associated with it.

They did have a lot of contact. I read about it from some Buddhist scholar, but I can't remember where.

I agree, it's basically Trump's fault.

The article's author, smugly waits to reveal his wokeness until the very last paragraph. Apart from that, it's mainly rubbish.

"This ahistorical reinterpretation of Buddhism can certainly seem like a breath of fresh air to the modern white, upper-middle class Westerner, who, disillusioned with the Christianity or the Judaism of her upbringing, is still not fully satisfied with what our secular culture has to offer."

What if people stop having so many children?

That's because no one can afford to drive in Oslo any more. Every road is a toll road and there are no parking spaces any more.

Ugh, a WHITE american. They are the worst. Also, what is a racist like you doing in a thread about mindfulness?

Ugh, another one of Andy Wingo's anti-Stallman smearing campaigns?

In Norway, girls outperform boys in every subject - but the opposite is true when tests are anonymized. It turns out teachers give boys lower grades because can't sit still during class.

After having individual files deleted repeatedly from Dropbox, I am not going anywhere near them again. Penetration testing is part of my job, and any PDFs related to that, keep being deleted. Why are they moderating my content? Never again.

Sigh. I'll never buy another ZyXEL product. What are decent alternatives in a similar price range?

Makes one wonder about too good to be true services like ProtonMail, ProtonVPN and ProtonDrive. I was so excited about those, but recently I've started wondering whether they are just the continuation of Switzerland taking money to act as a facade for the CIA...
