Jeff Bezos revealed his secret to Amazon’s success 25 years ago: ‘I asked everyone around here to wake up terrified every morning, their sheets drenched in sweat’ ( www.cnbc.com )

Back in the 90s, Jeff Bezos went on record as hoping his employees would wake up on the wrong side of the bed—for the greater good, or for the customer at the very least....

very much a convenience factor – Apple broke the MP3 sharing scene with the simplicity (at the time) of iTunes – video streaming started out simple but now it’s turned into cable TV, trying to find out which service is streaming a particular show, if it’s region-locked, or gated behind a premium upgrade, or just been dropped completely, or two services are still arguing over who gets the rights, or find out all the seasons are on one service except one season is on another service …

Wipe Out: When the BBC Kept Erasing Its Own History

cerement ,
@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar

taping at a corporate level didn’t exist until 20 years after the OP’s show aired – and another 20 years until consumer taping entered the picture

even then, BBC had no compunction about continuing to erase stuff – only relatively recently, they’ve started to realize just how bad a decision that was and have been begging for copies from people who taped shows to VHS – which itself hasn’t gone over too well because BBC also has a reputation of prosecuting home tapers, so without a promise of amnesty, no one’s coming forward …

Decision of Next Os

I was Nobara user, then I am using Fedora right now. I want to use things like Hyprland etc. and ya know, Its damn cool to say I am using arch btw. So I've decided to use Arch Linux. But everyone says its always breaking and gives problems. That's because of users, not OS.. right? I love to deal with problems but I don't want to...

cerement ,
@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar

(NeXT is something completely different)

anyways … the problem isn’t with Arch itself, it’s users randomly dipping into AUR thinking that the same level of safety checks that apply to the official repository also apply to the user repository – if you stick with the official repository or doublecheck an AUR package before running some random script off StackExchange, you’ll be fine

and if you want Arch with a little more polish, start off with EndeavourOS to get your feet wet and decide if you want to move to a pure Arch system at that point …

common carp doesn’t taste great – in this case, it was bighead carp which is considered quite nice – the main family of invasives in the US is Asian carp (includes bighead carp) which is also considered fairly tasty

California wild boar prosciutto is fantastic – they live off acorns very similarly to Spain’s black boars raised for jamón ibérico de bellota

cerement ,
@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar

»perceived« as not good eating for humans – Asian carp was brought in as a food source but Americans assume it tastes the same as common carp – all parts of kudzu are not only edible, but tasty and nutritious as well, but it’s looked down on as a weed that only poor people would touch – snails in California are descendants of gourmet European snails but we’re scared of anything that doesn’t come out of a fast food bag

invasivores have been rediscovering old recipes and creating new recipes for a lot of invasive species – their biggest battle is perception, not taste

cerement ,
@cerement@slrpnk.net avatar

US has gotten really bad on what we perceive as edible – European cuisine still has a LOT of dishes based on organ meats that we’ve almost completely lost (liver paté, steak and kidney pie, blood sausage, tripe, lengua, guanciale, oxtail, pickled trotters) – everything’s been reduced down to what’s available in the supermarket, shrink-wrapped into a styrofoam tray – we can handle portioned steaks but not a butcher taking a bandsaw to a carcass, we can handle chicken breasts but not a whole chicken – things like “thigh”, “leg”, “rib” refer to the shape, not to the location on the animal it came from
