Bismuth (and Krohnkite before) never worked nearly as well for me, and AFAIK are both abandoned. The built in tiling is closer to FancyTiles/tiling zones, not auto-tiling like Pop Shell. Pop Shell also has been here for “years” by that metric lol

There’s an episode of Behind the Bastards touching on the subject - “How Conservatism Won”. Not a right-wing resource at all, obviously, but that’s where a lot of the money goes indeed.

It… doesn’t indeed.

What’s wrong with alternatives?

I’d wager it is, or was, a loss leader. Its position at the very end of the store has to be strategic to make you look at everything else on the way.

American (and therefore also Canadian) Labour Day is on first Monday of September. The name is also used for May Day/IWD in parts of the world. I’m guessing some parts are geolocated to your location and some are not lol

Fair enough. I know the FSF likes to make the distinction.

I’ll be that guy pointing out at semantics - “open-source”, in the widely used OSI definition of the term is actually equal to free (as in freedom). It’s why open-source advocates go so hard at saying “this is not open-source” when companies just dumps their source code somewhere and dubs themselves open-source for it.

GUIX is a GNU Project. You know, Stallman et. al, the guy behind the FSF, or well… the GPL itself (GNU General Public License). If it happens with GUIX, Stallman would be the biggest troll in existence, and we’d have much larger problems to discuss about open source as a whole.

My 6yo has just been diagnosed, and he’s pretty literally drained after prolonged social interactions, active or not. Almost without exception, he needs 30-45 minutes alone in his room, be it playing with Lego, drawing, reading a book, anything calm and solitary, once we get back home.

Cohen is a massively talented songwriter and poet, but IMHO, most of his songs have covers that are a lot more pleasing to listen to than his.

I’m pretty sure Leonard Cohen wasn’t really your average teenager’s jam at the time Shrek came out. A lot of us knew the song, but I’m pretty sure many wouldn’t be able to tell you who sang it. Smash Mouth didn’t really get much airtime over here either before Shrek, as far as I can remember, and the movie was amongst the top grossing movies of the year IIRC, so it’s not that surprising that many people discovered them both through the movie.
