fosforus,

Isn’t it obvious? Linux turns people trans.

fosforus, (edited )

Another good one is Magnet. Its weakness is that the tiling is manual, but once you internalize the keybindings, it’s good enough. And because it’s manual, it doesn’t screw up your windows like all the others seem to (for me at least).

Sway on Linux beats all of them hands down, though.

M$ is it keeps trying to be more and more like Apple

Apple has adverts in macos somehow, but I’m not sure what it means since I’ve never seen ads in there. Perhaps they’re in app store or safari or something, but I don’t use either, so I don’t know.

Windows on the other hand pumps ads on you right at first boot on desktop. I’m sure it’s possible to turn them off somehow, but I usually choose to turn them off by installing Linux.

fosforus, (edited )

If you must use X11 for some reason, i3 is the OG. Sway is Wayland. But yeah, I think those two are pretty much perfection.

fosforus,

I don’t get all the Apple hate from the Linux community.

Being poor hurts. Distributing hurt makes it feel better.

fosforus, (edited )

You jest. But no, communism is horrible.

fosforus, (edited )

As a system, it’s the best one so far.

fosforus, (edited )

What, genuinely, is unpleasant to imagine about a Stateless, Classless, Moneyless society?

That attempts to implement it invariably lead to shit, apparently.

Capitalism can’t outlast automation

That’s what they thought of factorization as well, but it outlasted it just fine. Same thing will happen with more advanced forms of automation, but there will be growing pains certainly.

fosforus,

I think it’s fair that what happens in real world affects how one thinks about a political theory.

fosforus, (edited )

Yeah, that’s not a valid argument. Red fearing countries shouldn’t have been a problem if the ideology actually had been a good one. Communists were trying to spread the ideology just as much as others were trying to stop it.

The whole idea just sucks donkey balls and you’re having a weird nostalgia moment by proxy if you want to rewind the world back to it.

fosforus,

Didn’t that thing end pretty badly?

fosforus,

Oh come on, that is such a lazy argument. I suppose you’re an economics PhD then?

fosforus, (edited )

The amount of people living in extreme poverty was 94% in 1820. In 1981, it was 44.3%. In 2015, 9.6%. This effect is entirely due to Capitalism. Perhaps wages in the West have stagnated because people in other countries deserve those better wages more? Just a hunch, no data to back that one up, except these statistics.

This incredible success in saving people from horrible conditions might not continue, but the recent history has been pretty great.

fosforus, (edited )

So which is capitalism? The world of Star Trek contains technology that has brought humanity (and other species) to a state of extreme abundance. They generate food from energy and they have almost infinite energy. The situation is so much better than the real world that probably any system would work just fine. One of the biggest reasons why we need to have economic systems is scarcity.

fosforus, (edited )

Again, a lazy statement. You’re supposing that I don’t know a thing because I don’t agree with you. That is a wrong supposition altogether, certainly some sort of a logical fallacy, and also, most importantly, this is linuxmemes, sir.

fosforus, (edited )

A new person comes to join the lazy statement club. Welcome! If you think I should take you folks seriously, however, perhaps you should try forming actual arguments.

fosforus,

Looking at current and previous implementations of communism, it’s not at all clear. They resemble Mad Max more than Star Trek.

fosforus, (edited )

That analogue is so off the mark that I don’t what you’re trying to say. Are you implying that communist countries were building their societies with absolute peace and non-communists started all the trouble?

fosforus,

Do you think that people get richer when a group of people decide they have no rights of ownership and one person owns everything, or do you acknowledge that democracy and decentralization are good?

False dichotomy. Those are obviously not the actual two options.

fosforus,

I feel like there’s some weird context here. Why does Stefanik want to get that “yes” and why are they reluctant to say it? Would it be a declaration of some university policy that would lead to suppressing the demonstrations or what?

fosforus,

Israel is not apartheid, and it’s obviously not committing genocide. Hamas is for genocide.

fosforus, (edited )

They are bombing Hamas terrorists, their enemy, not refugees. You must remember that Hamas fighters and civilians look exactly the same, and they deliberately lurk among the civilians. This is obviously not genocide.

I’ll give you a hint in form of a question that may lead you towards the truth: What happens to the amount of population in a genocide?

I was kinda worried for a while that since kids these days don’t really have music as a tool to rebel against their parents, and as for shocking via clothing or something like goth or satanism… they’re just recycling 80s and 90s all over again. So how are they gonna do it?

Not so worried anymore. They always find something. And not just from language. The ways to be fucking idiots are endless and as a really novel thing, kids these days go up to 30 year olds.
