Not Linux, the X Window System. The first implementation in a window manager predates Linux by a couple of years. And to no surprise Xerox had them first

It’s not Fortran style, but the code of the original Bourne shell is a remarkable piece. “How to write Algol in C”

It is absolutely my thing! If you are interested, have a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/s/EVW8u8yx9w It links to a video that for my personal taste does the whole movement too quick. I stay longer in both end positions and do a slower ascent and descent. Anyways, great idea, and I hope you stay healthy and uninjured!

I do appreciate the fun aspect! But… pushups aren’t meant to be done in bulk. This almost certainly leads to wrong technique and that can seriously harm your shoulders.

They will blame it on somebody else, federal government, the “old parties”, the “lying press”, immigrants, the “eco fascists”, the EU, … They found their niche being the victims

I fully agree, but I think you forgot social media as a catalyst. People being trapped in echo chambers. AfD (and all the associated conspiracy theorists) are classical con men.

Merz is von Papen 2.0. The same arrogance and overestimation of himself, a textbook old white man.

Calling it a cult fits quite well. Like Trump supporters, AfD can do anything. They do a different style of politics? Sure, they aren’t like the “old parties”, their budget is projected to have a 2 billion deficit? But the “old parties” are increasing the debt as well. Arguments are bent beyond recognition. Facts don’t matter. The term “pigeon chess” was coined for taking with AfD: while you comply to the strict rules of the game, the pigeon just randomly moves pieces, throwing some off, and shits on the board.

Not hard data: ChatGPT and Gemini both say that the article sounds like written by a human most likely with AI assistance.

Doesn’t mean it’s not an ad for coaching. I share your sentiment. (So do ChatGPT and Gemini, they also agree that the article sounds like an ad)
