People living in deindustrialized societies have no appreciation for how real world logistics work.

Indeed, I really hope Iran puts a stop to that finally.

We’ll definitely have to wait to see this all shakes out in practice, but I do think we’re starting to see material reality catch up with the empire. Iran proved to be too tough a nut to crack, and now the empire has no good options left. The fact that there are serious talks happening on Iranian terms shows that Iran is in the dominant position here.

Actually, ReactOS and Wine have historically worked together and share significant technical overlap in the goal of reimplementing the Windows API, though they have different approaches and end goals. They’re separate projects now, but a lot of work in wine happened thanks to ReactOS.

yeah that’s true

Yeah, LaTex has been a pain to set up historically, so making it more accessible is very welcome.

amazing

Might also pave a path towards governments moving off windows if it can run existing software they use.

If this turns out to be true, it might actually be a sign that Iran won the war and the US is settling on their terms.

the main site has a section on that https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/en-US/

• Tectonic automatically downloads support files so you don’t have to install a full LaTeX system in order to start using it. If you start using a new LaTeX package, Tectonic just pulls down the files it needs and continues processing. The underyling “bundle” technology allows for completely reproducible document compiles. Thanks to the Dataverse Project for hosting the large LaTeX resource files!
• Tectonic has sophisticated logic and automatically loops TeX and BibTeX as needed, and only as much as needed. In its default mode it doesn’t write TeX’s intermediate files and always produces a fully-processed document.
• The tectonic command-line program is quiet and never stops to ask for input.
• Thanks to the power of XeTeX, Tectonic can use modern OpenType fonts and is fully Unicode-enabled.
• The Tectonic engine has been extracted into a completely self-contained library so that it can be embedded in other applications.
• Tectonic has been forked from the old-fashioned WEB2C implementation of TeX and is developed in the open on GitHub using modern tools like the Rust language.
• Tectonic can be used from Github Actions to typeset your documents whenever a change to them is made:
  • setup-tectonic - Use tectonic in your github action workflows (supports caching and optionally biber)
  • compile-latex - Thanks to Vinay Sharma for creating the action.

So, now it’s now been proven in court: this US puppet tried to restart the Korean War with covert acts of aggression against the DPRK.

it’s pretty crazy how we can reprogram our rna now :)

Really highlights how the west is no longer economically relevant.

you’re a scumbag

Except it’s not just Trump. Everybody in the chain of command is culpable and directly complicit. Every single one.

Yup, attacking water systems is a violation of the Geneva conventions and a clear unlawful order of which members of the military are compelled to not follow as they are bound by the Geneva Conventions and trained on it.

Protocol I (Article 54) and Protocol II (Article 15) of the Geneva Conventions prohibit attacking, destroying, or rendering useless objects indispensable to civilian survival, such as drinking water installations, dams, and dykes.

Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits collective penalties and all measures of intimidation or terrorism. Threatening to cut off electricity and water to an entire population as a means of coercing political compliance clearly constitutes collective punishment.

Destroying Iran’s electric and water supply is a war crime

That’s obviously a war crime, but we shouldn’t be surprised at this point.

Yet, Iranian officials have also been posting this

They didn’t even bother coming up with pretext when they attacked Iran initially, I don’t see why they would now. Iran is also openly saying they shot that piece of shit down.

we can’t rule out a laundry fire
