And yet again, we will see comments from "native" Canadians blaming the immigrants.

When the atomic bombs fell on Japan, it was seen as the slaughtering of PoC by the white people, and movies were made about this, praying for this horrible action.
But the reality is that this action of mourning erased the voice and colonial trauma for those who have suffered under the Japanese imperialism.
In a way, those Japanese lives were "more valuable" than those who succumbed under Japanese colonialism in Asia.

The issue with using Holocaust as a reference point is that it is a imperial-centric narrative that enables the "hierarchies of suffering".

While I understand that people have gravitated to AI because of the mess that is <insert-development-ecosystem>, there is always an alternative. It's just not AI.
For example, people who are tearing their hair off because ReactJS, for example, perhaps check out VanJS? Pure JS, 200 lines of code, no DSL nonsense, can be run without tooling, integrates well with SSR/SSG/CSR/whatev-the-fuck exists, and can also be used as a vendor-neutral library for web components.

Oh, no, not Manjaro and Ubuntu. Let me explain why.
Manjaro is a downstream of Arch Linux, which is a community maintained distro. Now, the issue with community maintainance is that it is often (recently) targeted by bad actors.
Ubuntu, on the other hand, is a downstream of Debian. Now, it should be generally fine, but their shenanigans is why it has a poor experience - they force Snap packages.
Fedora is generally a nice experience, despite being the upstream distro itself.

The thing about Mint is that it is a stable release, and sometimes it may be outdated. Fedora, on the other hand, a rolling release distro. You could try your luck with Fedora's Cinnamon edition. Or maybe with Linux Mint, but be sure to avoid LTS release for a regular release.

No, I AM RIGHT. This isn't a yes or no question.
Check https://rethinkaadhaar.in first. Make sure to read the content in the page titled "Exclusion", and the atrocities faced by underprivileged people in India.
And if you can, pick the book "Dissent on Aadhaar: Big Data Meets Big Brother".
No country out there has come with such a poorly-planned system for some reason, I wonder why? Because it sucks ass. Even Switzerland was careful with GNU Taler.

if not for the constant imperial dick-riding, perhaps you would not have failed to understand that Aadhar is a means for surveillance, you clown.

Oh yes, surveillance capitalism, how cool!

Which area? I used to live in Navi Mumbai a few years ago and flats were all owned by gujjus (UCs, ahem), and they immediately refuse non-vegetarians and people not from "acche gharana".

I would pick neither.

I fucking hate TypeScript and the shitty non-existent design pattern it comes with.
Where the fuck do the types go? Where do interface go?
My entire project is polluted, I keep repeating duplicated code everywhere, what the fuck.

Yes, I did. Not the best experience, because the LLM makes assumptions about my skillset. It didn't tell me anything about design system methodolody - I had to research about Atomic Design Methodology myself - which is also used by Penpot - the tool that I am currently using.
I am struggling because, for example, ChakraUI, has heading components. Now, do I make own heading components? How do I decide on variants? This is what is making it so hard for me.

How do you deal with design system shenanigans?
I am having a hard time with inconsistent UI elements in my personal portfolio/blog that I am work on, it's annoying me because it is pushing me to either under-engineered mess of a code or over-engineered compartmentalization by referring similar codes from already-existing UI libraries.
Yesterday, I just started with some simple atoms (typography), but it feels like there is a lot of work.

You may want to start using a template - try searching for "django starter template" or "django starter skeleton project" on a code forge.

Is this similar to G-Expressions in Guix?

Is this a new language feature? Isn't there like a specification for Lisp compliancy?

Programmers, especially C folks, I remember coming across a website that "invented" a new type of paradigm with C - start all the way by expressing C in procedural, data-oriented, functional, to then object, and finally the xyz paradigm - whose name I don't remember.
It was strikingly similar to the data-oriented approach. Any help?

How many parameters? I am planning to run on my Thinkpad T480 (no dGPU) locally.

is there any remote/global internship or junior position I can apply for?
I don't mind unpaid, as long as I can add this as a valid experience to my resume.
I have some basic beginner hobbyist understanding of Go, and it looks like Hugo is some sort of SSG framework.

Is it just me, or is Gen-Z one of the most self-loathing, super-reclusive, and brokest generation with the shittiest teenage and adult culture?
It feels like we've never had a party culture, all we grew up on was hyper-consoomerism and doomer-malding over fascism?
