There is too much blame to go around, and not enough people and orgs wanting to acknowledge blame.
Trump did not become a household name randomly. He was helped and aided by many. And I have noticed hundreds of times how the main stream media enabled his word salad and gave it meaning and power. In real life, not many people listen to blathering hateful idiots.
I’m not well versed in the saints, but I think this is a better origin story than most.
All we need is a tearful prayer, with a vow towards some further action: even if it’s just in a cell for the rest of his life.
And then he is on the same level, in my opinion, of some medieval saints I know a little about.
Could easily be a saint for denied claims and other obstacles in healing.
Flies and moths sometimes got behind panels and caused issues. Hence computer bugs entered our lexicon.
It’s easier to imagine the insects entering with this picture,
I’ll try this later.
They can vary even by the same author: I felt burned by the “he who fights with monsters” series whose 1st book is simply awesome in my opinion, but by book 10 has devolved
I’ve been listening to the bobiverse, by Dennis Taylor. I like the series about an ordinary guy who just happens to later be copied a few thousand times. ( hard science fiction)
The latest book was released this year, and while it can hold its own, I like the earlier books better. And the first book is one of my favorites
Thanks for all these gift links btw, it helps a lot of people
witnesses, accusations, court trials, investigations by law, settlements and outright admission.
Some of them have more of one type than the other but most of the people mentioned in this political context are not unlucky people who only have one or two incidents.
That does not mean the other people are saints. But most seem to at least not glorify in it, and many are content to exploit and rob the working class without such public incidents.
I think this is like a parallel situation as seen in the Reddit ceo driving migration to lemmy.
The wp meltdown was destructive and healthy at the same time. A minority of wp users will look into alternatives, which will help make those better to use because the devs get more support, and/or the alternative communities and ecosystems start to grow
It takes being organized and working with others, as a group, to make the change happen.
This seems to be broken in many areas if the world thanks to how much technology has changed, as well as two generations of social upheaval and mass migrations.
Nobody knows how to do this right now, the best that can be done is a day or two of activity in the larger metro areas.
I think people will find their way, but not this year
This seems to be a rare individual who would not have done such except for his own misfortune with his back.
If I learned anything from this, is that most people cannot do any real changes either for health or environment. It has reinforced my cynicism
When I was learning to program in the 1990s, at university, it was easy to get good advice and learning from the printed word: both in books and on websites. I think if I had to start learning all over again, and not be in a good school, it would be very hard for me to do as well.
Today there is too much advice, too many influencers who recently learned whatever they are peddling, too much AI, too many fields of tech.
I think the best way to learn now is how many of us learned decades earlier; use a list of books that are vetted by many ( can find lists here and there, saw one in GitHub last year). And while reading the books read the documentation even if they are gaps in one’s knowledge and the docs are badly written.
I don’t think one needs recent books for many concepts and basics. The wheel has been reinvented many times in the hundreds of tech stacks in use today. And the same concepts will be easy enough to learn in newer docs once a technology and programming set of tools is invested into by the learner.
As for new software engineering ideas and architecture concepts: usually these are reiterated from earlier ideas and often marketed for profit. So older architecture books, refined by several editions, are still best.
A lot of the initial popularity of Isis in Iraq was due to very similar factors. This was an uprising of a complex mix of people and goals. Most involved at first were established leaders who were patriotic and tribes who were oppressed by the new and invalid government.
This of course was airbrushed in the west and countless thousands were killed by Americans during the uprising.
Syria was destabilized due to the mass death.
The main takeaway here is that force often seems like an answer but that can go badly
