Swedish public television sent a reportage asking if we are in the midst of a green #bubble about to burst
#Northvolt, the #battery factory, has huge economic problems and could be in the bridge of bankruptcy
It is a problem of expectations: have they been too optimistic about solving difficult technical problems (that seems like they have not solved yet), and too unrealistic about how many electric cars will/can be sold?

HMS Beagle #OnThisDay
On 15th of September 1835 HMS Beagle reached the Galapagos Islands. It had taken a voyage of four years since the ship left Plymouth, England. On board was a young Charles Darwin as part of the research team. The visit to the Galapagos would prove the starting point from which Darwin would develop his theories on evolution and secure his enduring fame.
New post in the series on #Guix packaging. Post 9 - dealing with build-system phases. Whether building packages for #Python, #Rust or even #Emacs being able to alter how the build runs is crucial. Each language has their own build system, so Guix is flexible enough to have different phases for each one! A few more sneaky #guile and #guix utility functions that really help get each build right. Check it out:
Nice post, as always!
For a different but not as thorough take on build phases: guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/h…
@civodul I don't know why I didn't reference it in my post. I guess I was so worried that 'thorough' had really turned into "waaaay too long". I actually read that part of the manual so many times as it's the authorative source!
Still don't understand how to do packages with multiple outputs though. Even though I've read that bit multiple times too heh

@OldManTV @davidoclubb Imagine you left your wife in a hurtful manner because you thought you would be happier. You then have a contentious and drawn out divorce. After a couple of years, you realize your life is worse in every way and you really miss your wife. Despite everything, she still loves you and getting back together would improve her life in several ways.
It would be pretty natural to expect that she wouldn’t take you back all that quickly. She likely doesn’t trust you anymore. She might think you deserve some more punishment for your disloyal behavior. She doesn’t want to go to all this effort only to see you leave her again.
That’s basically where we are now. I do believe the UK will rejoin because it would benefit everyone. But it might take a generation.
Seems like the Linux part of Wikipedias Table of keyboard shortcuts article hasn't been updated in a while.
I went trough and removed/updated some deprecated stuff and added some stuff that wasn't there. For Gnome. And I learned some new stuff in the process.
But there's also some stuff there I'm not sure about and didn't touch even if I think maybe it should be changed. If you have some time, maybe you could have a look?
"Have your checked out openSUSE in a while?"
The lead developer keeps desperately trying to kill, openSUSE Kalpa. I am not Gnome user and the lead for reasons unknown strongly dislikes KDE.
So no, I've not given openSUSE another thought.
But they also keep flip-flopping. They'll clearly say, "we're going to do x, y, z" and then "x, y, z" never happens. I've lost track on how many times they've said they were either going to end openSUSE Leap, or change it (openSUSE Aeon was to replace it at one time), or continue it, and am I unsure where that is now (I think they're working on v16).
It is not just the technical side, even the logo, was once up in the air. They held contest, had a winner, and that was never followed up.
There is openSUSE Slow Roll, which is meant to be a middle ground between Tumbleweed (their rolling release) and Leap (their stable). That has been up in the air too.
Direction. That is what they lack. Many different ideas, but no solid roadmap until you wake up one morning and "surprise, we did a thing" -- That should be their slogan.
