Ah, it's not the best for cases like that, especially if you need to make different layouts all the time. You can get it to do anything with enough packages and positioning hints, but at some point it becomes too much of a chore. If you just need a dozen of layouts and then fill them out with different content, it's doable.

I haven't seen any WYSIWYG document editors that are any good. Markdown/Org for simpler stuff, L^A^T~E~X for more complicated stuff, or mix them together with pandoc.

I don't think so, but then again it's a long and dense video and I might have missed something

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

I do agree with you that most likely he did it. But that doesn't necessarily make him guilty. Everyone in the jury pool needs to understand that simple fact, the guilty/not guilty verdict is ultimately decided by the jury and not by the facts nor the law.

I'm not enough of a fan to look up other social media, I just occasionally watch some of his videos on topics that are interesting to me. But that's great to hear!

Good, I think? I mean, there is a capitalist aspect to it (immigrants are often cheap labor) but also this should help them gain job protection and minimum wages and such, at least preventing overexploitation. Overall I think it's a long-term win both for the people of Spain and the immigrants.

Abstraction, when used well, is actually a tool that produces more simple code in the long run. It separates different concerns into different pieces of code, and helps readable by extracting common logic and giving it a recognizable name.

That said, OOP-style inheritance-based abstractions, while useful in some cases, quite often lead people down the complete opposite path - mushing together unrelated logic and then making call sites difficult to understand with a lot of hidden state that has to be kept in mind.

The only solution to this is aligning the government with the people. I'm afraid revolution is the only way to do this (although there is a tiny sliver of hope that it can be resolved without too much violence). Until then ad-"supported" news won't save you, because they are all fundamentally capitalist. Iskra didn't have ads in it.

Or we could do the sensible thing and make a few taxpayer-funded news agencies, same as with the rest of public services. UK, Canada and Australia have public broadcasters, and while fundamentally they are still tools of imperialist propaganda they are usually more accurate with their reporting and truthful with their journalism than the billionaire-owned ad-ridden slop.

The rest could then be funded through a mix of grants, subscriptions and volunteers.

Continuing with the MIC/wars analogy: "without MIC and wars to fund it we wouldn't have done the research for transistors/ICs/microwaves/radar/...". It's obviously a false dichotomy designed to normalize wars of aggression. It's the same here, brainworm slop and paid slop are not the only two alternatives.

Neoliberal western democracy is not the only democracy style possible

The question is not whether they support a business model, it's whether they are good for humanity. And they are bad for humanity from a socioeconomic perspective because it is labor power spent with negative net use value produced.

Compare it with imperialist wars: they are the business model of the entire MIC, and yet I hope you agree that wars of aggression are bad.
