I have used neither in quite a while now but there is an alternative from jetbrains that i started using because it shares the same ergonomics and had better (?) documentation.

While I don’t think you’re wrong with respect to the mechanics of the algorithm favoring „engaging“ content. However at the same time I do think that they have the finger on the scales because the media company’s know full well what they’re serving. I bet there’s not a lot of pro democracy content trending on Chinese TikTok the same way anti democratic content is served in western TikTok

Russia and China would likely disagree as they count their gains: - yet another massive blow to their trust and reputation among allies - again massively undermining NATO thereby fostering global instability - weakened credibility vis a vis defending Taiwan

I don’t think it’s misleading (at all) when you take into account that the index is volume weighted. If you held two different stocks: 1 from megacorp worth 90; 1 from smallcorp worth 10; if megacorp is down 10% while smallcorp is up 10%. Your portfolio would still be worth less even though 50% of your portfolio positions are up.

Can someone enlighten me what people actually use this for? The article mentions „managing your calendar, responding to emails, file your taxes“

The bottleneck for emails and my calendar is not the speed at which I can type/click some buttons, but rather figuring out what I want to write or clarifying priorities when managing my calendar.

What kind of ridiculous stupidity is it to endanger the greatest military alliance in history? You give up the credible deterrent that all member states enjoy and contribute for what exactly? A bunch of minerals you could have had with a simple treaty? Military access that you already enjoyed? China and Russia must be laughing hard at this amateur shit show

You may call them pathetic or hysterical but that doesn’t change the fact that the sentiment is real. The pace at which the current administration is burning through political capital that has been built over the last century is truly staggering and makes me wonder how much there will be left in three years time.

But then again the oldest trick in the authoritarian‘s playbook is to abandon the path of democracy by tilting the scales in their party’s favor. which is why you want strong independent institutions and separation of powers in a democracy, something the current administration does not appear to be in favor of.

Deterrence works. That's why the cold war is remembered as the cold war and not the hot war. Zelensky knows this while Trump is publicly taking all leverage (NATO membership, security guaranties) off the table while the Russians have not even started negotiating - and why would they? Trump is doing all their work for them

Based off my experience you should start using org-mode if you either

a) have too much time or b) have too little time

a) because I found it to be quite a time-consuming to set up a configuration that adapts to my needs (event though I restrict myself to note taking and managing todos all from one file) and b) it is such an amazing tool for keeping all my notes and todos in reach within seconds
