If it is a pay what you want model I am all for it. This would be similar to how elementary OS st

The problem with a fixed price is you have to always calibrate it according to the economy of the user's geolocation. What is cheap for a person from a developed world may be unaffordable for a third world county.

What I understand is Sheikh Hasina was turning into an authoritarian leader, having ruled from 1996-2001 and then from 2009 onwards. A combined 20 years in total!

She did some good things

In power, she won admiration for stabilising the country, tackling jihadist groups and growing the economy, largely through the garment manufacturing boom. The rate of extreme poverty halved.

some bad

But her rule became increasingly oppressive, with extrajudicial killings and the jailing of political opponents and journalists. There was growing anger about corruption, especially as the economy foundered and living costs soared in the wake of the pandemic.

and really sketchy things

With youth unemployment at 40%, the reintroduction of government job quotas for descendants of those who fought in the Bangladesh independence war in 1971 – seen as a bung to party supporters – brought students out in protest.

Fight back? O rly?

Yes and the cruel part is... Pterosaurs are not Dinosaurs!

Harder. Stronger. Faster.

I don't get it. Did Socrates discuss gender identity in his works?

Only to realise later it was the imposter syndrome or Dunning-Kruger effect kicking in.

And I don't like how sparse the data points are but they went with a wobbly interpolated curve anyway.

It exists, kind of. Python has this construct

for item in iterable:
    ...
else:
     ...

which always puzzles me, since it depends on a break statement execution. I always have to look it up when the else block is executed.

That math does not check out. There are only 8.1 billion humans alive. How can there be trillions of companies?

Lemmyverse? How will that exist in the Fediverse?

Fediverse > Lemmy Galaxy / Cluster?

Well, he does have a point though. #OpenAccess

Footnote: Yeah, I saw that he had done some bad faith research, but remember open access is for everyone in the world, not just free rider corporate shills.

Footnote 2: If it is not feasible to go for gold OA journals, please go for green route: publish in closed but allows authors to put it up on preprint like arXiv.

He was from the future. Look, he's reading from a book made of flexible glowing paper and not flat tablets like we primitive people do.

Accessible for everyone.

If the desktop UX has very good screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice to text etc., I believe its benefits would automatically spill over to all.

Also it would retain the UI / UX experts who become forced to abandon Linux for macOS which maintains a niche in this.

Pikachu, iron tail!

It is not, Fairphone already does this.

Good point, and Łukasz Langa mentioned this in his talk (check it out). He names it the robustness principle, in his words (around 22:20 mark:

"Vague in what you accept, concrete in what you return"

But he also mentions some gotchas like how Iterable[str] can backfire, because str is also an Iterable[str] and it might be better to use list[str].
