yeah it’s called la calle de los paraguas next to the witch’s market…I suppose they provide a modicum of shelter as well ☺️

happy to be your hell, good citizen ☺️ I wish you the best

do we have to be burdened by western existential narratives vis a vis Orwellianism that don’t scale? seemingly, yes! society seemingly doesn’t scale gracefully … though China looks better-adapted to present reality

ah, and the challenges to scale once again hit the wall … they’ll have to use AI to police maintainers to keep them from using AI 😂

odd looking dumpling, I thought

I think that’s a good way of putting it. Apparently, there are at least six places called “Copacabana” around the world. This is the original one and derives from an Aymara phrase meaning “view of the lake.” Almost all other locations trace their name back to the Bolivian town via devotion to the Virgin of Copacabana … as per what Wikipedia and Wikitravel tell me

You’re welcome! 😅 I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I’m from the States, but I’ve been traveling in South America for a little over a year now. I realized that I had all these pics sitting around that I’ve collected and thought this would be a good way to get them seen by somebody. ☺️

grotesquely apathetic, actually

That’s right kids, you’re stupid! … just like our generation was told when I was your age and our parents’ generation, etc … just look, the data!

The people who avoided drinking water in favor of beer? No, I doubt they envisioned widespread government-sponsored clean water systems in the first place let alone the society we’ve since become unable to maintain such systems. Enjoy your obscenely expensive bottled dead water.

is emule still a thing…? cool 😎

I’ll be happy for the day people stop believing foss is a story of ethical philanthropy and instead understand its macroeconomic value to consortiums who need technology that isn’t owned by a monopoly.

That’s the old cyclic karma of the Abrahamic, no? … It’s always the end times

mid-March earlier this year

the irony… 😂

sure did, had my fill of trucha 😋😅

yeah, I loved it when I had the time for it. I used it on several machines as my daily driver back in the day. I can remember getting a new Thinkpad for work and deciding on Arch over Gentoo given the relative time commitment… then the disaster with the Gentoo wiki happened shortly thereafter and I’ve not run it since. I’m running Fedora Silverblue at the moment. glad you’re carrying the torch!

only if you’re drunk

I haven’t used Gentoo in maybe 15 fifteen years or so but it was definitely the funnest to use

We’re following China’s lead in the adapting-to-social-scale game
