The Economy: Edification & Education As Economic Freedom Arts




From a dialogue on Libera in ##politics overnite ⸻ I am `lakitu`:

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 12:44’48”} <violetjewel> hopefully, there will be some leader/movement in palestine/gaza who/that lead palestinians out of this notion that a one-state solution (aka genociding israel) is not a viable option and that a peaceful two-state solution is the only option while every other muslim nation to the north-east has realized that israel isn’t going to disappear. hamas, the governing body of palestine, would in theory

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 12:44’50”} <violetjewel> attempt to preserve the lives of the people they govern, and yet they constantly pressure the palestinians into intifadas while indiscriminantly firing rockets over the border and then weaponizing the deaths of their own “people” (if you can even call palestinians that) as martyrs while engaging in guerilla terrorism and operating out of civilian infrastructure and storing their weapons under

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 12:44’52”} <violetjewel> schools, mosques, and hospitals. I’m not saying the Likud is perfect, but the only way forward is a peaceful 2-state solution, and that starts with Palestinians reclaiming their government from guerilla terrorists who want them to be dead martyrs and constantly push for intifadas and genocide.

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 12:57’05”} <violetjewel> After a pandemic, if you don’t deficit spend (aka stimulate) then you’re going into a recession / economic collapse. COVID-19 has been hard on us all, and yet that’s hardly Biden’s fault. Investing in the chips act was a wise long-term economic investment. although I do believe there was a bit too much stimulation, america survived far better than many other countries. I do understand that blue

I think parts of Harris’ plan to support small businesses, startups, and families are wise, while potentially other aspects such as her economic plans for housing and potentially categorical price caps may be a bit aggressive.

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:32’25”} <violetjewel> yeah — is also interchangeable with —

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:32’46”} <IndyJoenz> lakitu: Either the client (irssi), terminal (iterm2 on macos), or both. Or maybe gnu screen is mucking with it, who knows

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:32’49”} <IndyJoenz> there are so many layers to these things

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:33’09”} <violetjewel> terminal renders the font. I use st with FiraCode and a few ligatures.

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:33’09”} <IndyJoenz> layers that need wide character support retrofitted in

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:34’01”} <lakitu> it is either your font or your IRC client (or both). I am in `hexchat` which renders the three-em dash.

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:34’40”} <violetjewel> screen and irssi just throw bytes and escape codes at the terminal that renders them. it’s the terminal. Perhaps non-monospace font clients (eg hexchat (yep- guessed it :D)) fair better

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:34’46”} <lakitu> or as you’re saying: the terminal / other ‘layers’

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:34’48”} <IndyJoenz> I need to get my head better around how variable width unicode characters work, especially with unix terminals

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:35’33”} <lakitu> I’m in a Palatino Lintoype small-caps font in `hexchat` . . .

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:41’09”} <IndyJoenz> violetjewel: You would think that screen and irssi just throw bytes unmodified at the terminal. However, in my experience, that is not always the case. I have seen newer unicode characters not render correctly inside of screen, and various ncurses programs. I think it has to do with being compiled against something for Utf-8 support, but using an older Unicode standard.

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:41’21”} <IndyJoenz> but they render in the terminal fine otherwise

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:41’42”} <IndyJoenz> Something about screen being aware of every character it prints

{central U.S. time CDT (-0500) am 01:43’34”} <violetjewel> IndyJoenz: you have to use a font and a terminal that supports them. I’m using FiraCode Nerd, which supports them, and I patched st to support ligatures.
