I am not surprised. Roots is an incredibly tasteful album. They ventured beyond groove metal.

Actually, there is a fantastic studio performance of Roots from back when. You might like it!

Sepultura - Territory (m.youtube.com)

Territory" (1993) by Sepultura is a raw critique of land disputes, propaganda, and dehumanization in conflict zones—particularly resonant with the Israel-Palestine struggle. The lyrics expose how ideology weaponizes geography. Over 30 years later, enduring its relevance.

Unknown man
Speaks to the world
Sucking your trust
A trap in every word

War for territory
War for territory

Choice control
Behind propaganda
Poor information
To manage your anger

War for territory
War for territory

Dictators' speech
Blasting off your life
Rule to kill the urge
Dumb assholes' speech

Years of fighting
Teaching my son
To believe in that man
Racist human being
Racist ground will live
Shame and regret
Of the pride
You've once possessed

War for territory
War for territory

This is awesome. I have been downloading everything manually on Soulseek since the dawn of time. Now I can effortlessly have a local copy of my entire saved music library. Thanks!

Check hurl out. Unlike bruno or Postman, it is free and blazingly fast. Define your requests in plain text format and commit them to your version control.

It also allows you to export your plain text hurl files as curl commands.

Yes, firmware running on bare metal requires good resource management. My current development board processor contains 512KB SRAM. That's equivalent to half of the size of an average PDF.

"We grand juried his ass, but that motherfucker didn't blink."

Rest in peace, Horseface Pakusa. Season 2 of The Wire is an absolute banger. Thanks for being a part of it.

Inventors of this flavour are brilliant and surprisingly innovative. Here's a video that explains the creative process behind it.

I actually worked for two of them at once. It's quite a cult mentality. You even get swag if you make it to list, such as a tote bag which says "I made it to Forbes 30U30" with big bold letters.

They all follow more or less the same routine: wake up very early, do a million niche sports and share their "unique" experiences on LinkedIn, such as that one night in the woods which took their career to the next level.

They appear busy while getting nothing meaningful done, hire bunch of consultants for making decisions, and delegate even the smallest executable to someone else because "their time is more valuable".

The difference between them and you is that they are really good at grifting, networking, selling their failures and shortcomings as a success story.

I have yet to meet one that truly made a difference: The entrepreneurial hero who made a tangible difference by getting their hands dirty and creating value for the greater good. Until then, I will keep believing in the stereotypes.

You need a developer license to distribute an app on Apple's App Store. It costs 99 USD per year.

Platform choice is determined by your target audience and your goals. I previously developed for both iOS and Android. Without mass adoption, Linux mobile apps would not be economically feasible.

My position is different as a hobbyist but I do not have a use case for a Linux mobile app at the moment.

They broke my fucking balls for trivial reasons during approval process. However, it seems like you get a free pass and a feature if you are the creator of a spyware with a trademarked name. Truly genius at work.

I love Tony's as much as the next guy. However, be aware that a test conducted in 2022 found high levels of lead in Chocolonely Dark Chocolate variant.

Consistent, long-term exposure to even small amounts of heavy metals can lead to a variety of health problems. The danger is greatest for pregnant people and young children because the metals can cause developmental problems, affect brain development, and lead to lower IQ, says Tunde Akinleye, the CR food safety researcher who led this testing project.

I am also curious. Got burnt once thanks to Docker acquisition. Wondering if it is the right time to consider Terraform alternatives.

1.1 Introduction: Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics of the Perfect Gas. Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.
