OK, the quote is accurate, although out of context like most cherry picked quotes. To me that seems like an unfortunate choice of words, something that Biden is famous for (foot in mouth disease). If you read what he said here and in the original article you posted, his position is fairly reasonable and not racist, in my opinion anyway.

He was saying that busing was disruptive to both black and white students, as well as disruptive to the all-black schools and all-white schools themselves. Most of that is because of racism, but that racism was the racism of the white people attending and having children at the formerly all-white schools. I lived through some of those years, and I remember some of the racism (as a very young white boy) and I know I did not see the worst of it. Right or wrong, Biden was being pragmatic, this "solution" did not seem be a good one.

And I think he was both right and wrong. There was no massive outbreaks of violence as he feared, and it did help some blacks of that era, but it didn't result in the integration of society to any significant degree, or at least to the degree hoped. Most schools today are not racially diverse, reflecting the fact that society isn't either.

Jeffrey, you posted a Qt of a picture that says one thing, and @kryptec posted a fact check debunk of the quote on that picture. Are you saying the fact check is wrong?

Quote from the fact check:

However, the claim that Biden said "I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle" is false. There is no evidence Biden made that particular remark.

@barocio@emacs.ch I don't start any apps from systemd, but I do see my profile-defined variables in an emacs I start from dmenu in i3wm. I guess hyprland is different, although it sounds broken or maybe misconfigured? There should be a way to get the user's profile environment to an app you are starting as that user if it doesn't do that by default.
Starting emacs from systemd just sounds like a bad idea to me 😬

@Cayce5s No I don't. You are claiming strange things. It's up to you to justify them.

@Cayce5s Why do you think that?

@Cayce5s Why not?

@barocio@emacs.ch For bash, I define my important env vars in .profile and source that from .bashrc at the top. This avoids having to worry about getting environment variables in programs not run from a shell since dash/sh is used for those and uses .profile. I've been doing this for years and still not sure why it's not standard procedure. It seems like the obvious solution so I am clearly missing something...

@freemo @sdgathman @VoxDei It’s the twitchy or not well suited which is the problem. All 2a purists seem to have their heads buried in the sand on this point. Don’t tell me the solid and trained will take of the twitchy one. They might but only after a lot of damage has occurred.

@beforewisdom I've been using vi and clones since the 80's. I used vile between vi and vim, but interesting that that clone wasn't even mentioned. I never used elvis and I don't remember it at all. Good article otherwise.

@mike805 @freemo I dunno if we should read toooo much into avatar facial expressions. To me @freemo's says just escaped from belview, found his mom's credit card and is enjoying some fun times at a local tiki bar. But I somewhat suspect that's not the case.

@nnethercote i have seen topless frames for sale so you could potentially salvage the top and recycle the metal in the bottom.

Thinking about using ETL (https://www.etlcpp.com/) for embedded work for an arm m33 class chip. Any opinions on it by other embedded programmers out there?

@LouisIngenthron lololol let em wear their porn stashes already, keeps the gene pool healthy!

@mo8it @zenora @ljrk I think I'll probably use this for some one-off smallish programs that I write occasionally that are fairly processor intensive due to the combinatorics involved. Setting up separate rust projects for each one seems awkward. I've so far resorted to python for these, but then some of them can take hours to complete. And other times, if I'm sure it will take a while, in C++ using the old `g++ file.cpp && ./a.out` approach.

@trentskunk I am not really using Rust a lot yet, but I read about it a bit. I've collected non-beginner articles for future use here: https://gist.github.com/ambihelical/03c84319144ea772059ba0a0e5b63754
I'm sure I've missed some good ones as my focus wavers over the years, so I wouldn't call it comprehensive by any stretch.
