South Korea passes ban on dog meat consumption

"We believe this ban marks a significant turning point in South Korea's attitude to animal protection," said Lee Sang-kyung, a spokesperson for the local branch of the Humane Society International, an animal rights group. "(This) is testament to the passion and determination of our animal-loving public and politicians who reached a tipping point to consign this outdated industry to our history books."

This doesn't look like it will do anything for "animals" as people will just eat other animal meat. It just appeases western sensibilities about what the world is allowed to eat.

Insurance executive's murder sparks online praise and hate

Reply in thread

Law enforcement officials told NBC News they found the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose,” written on the shell casings found at the shooting scene. Those words seem to echo the title of a 2010 book, “Delay Deny Defend,” whose subtitle is, “Why insurance companies don’t pay claims and what you can do about it.”

Sounds personal.

And what kind of a pro assassin goes to Starbucks before doing the hit and then rides off into the sunset on an ebike?

My experience using Fedora Atomic (Budgie) for a month or two.

After trying NixOS in a VM a couple times, this constant tweaking ended up in the system breaking both times to the point where it was impossible to edit the .nix config file without chroot (and a lot of GRUB entries, a rather bit messy if you ask me).

I don't get it, doesn't NixOS let you go to a previous configuration in the boot menu?

To make a reliable Linux desktop, I see almost no other solution than Atomicity that doesn’t require extensive Linux experience.

You have a very skewed perspective coming from your constantly broken Arch install.

You don't need immutability and containers to have a reliable Linux install. My Ubuntu installs are extremely reliable, both on desktops and servers.

I have to say though that I ran Arch for a few years and it only broke once or twice. This is either astroturfing or PEBCAK.
