lolcatnip,

It’s most likely taught behavior, IMHO.

lolcatnip,

Hello there 9 hour old account, and goodbye!

lolcatnip,

Is this a meme about baby leftists learning about how plurality voting works?

Ok, I just reread it. I don’t see what you think I’m missing. You mean an improperly written find command misbehaving? The fact that a different date format could prevent a bug from manifesting doesn’t seem like much of an argument.

“Paying” for tax cuts makes sense in the context of changing budgets while trying to keep them balanced. But no money is ever spent on tax cuts. It’s spent on the public infrastructure and services you mentioned. If you properly account for the money as being used to pay for public goods, then saying it’s also used to pay for tax cuts would be double counting.

lolcatnip,

Kurzgesagt videos aren’t exactly short either. I’m normally pretty irritated when people link to videos like that, but come on, are you really saying you won’t consider criticism just because it’s in the same medium as the material being criticized?

lolcatnip,

Your use of > rather than ≥ correctly indicates that Affinity is not a Photoshop alternative at all (going by other comments about how it’s not even available on Linux).

lolcatnip,

The suffix “-phobe” indicates aversion, not fear or irrationality. It’s much older than the psychological concept of a phobia.

Prison would be a step up for a lot of them. They receive other punishments, like having all their belongings confiscated wherever a cop or some bureaucrat decides they’re getting in the way too much.

lolcatnip,

Sure but I think they’re shooting themselves in the foot.

lolcatnip,

That and hunter-gatherer tribes tend to get genocided.

lolcatnip,

Tangential anecdote: when I visited San Luís Potosí, I ate several meals at a place called Café Tokio. It was good but there was nothing Japanese about it beyond the name.

What's the difference between package manager and why are there so many?

Are they so different that it’s justified to have so many different distributions? So far I guess that different package manager are the reason that divides the linux community. One may be on KDE and one on GNOME but they can use each other’s packages but usually you are bound to one manager

lolcatnip,

I think a lot of what drives the creation of redundant open source tools is that the urge to address a matter of personal taste meets the urge to start a new project, so people create new things that are different in key ways from older ones, but not necessarily better, and not necessarily even different enough to justify the amount of work that goes into them.

In some ways it feels a lot easier to start a new project then to build off an existing one:

  • You don’t have to familiarize yourself with the old code, which may be in a language you don’t know or don’t like
  • You don’t have to deal with the existing maintainers, who may or may not be supportive of the changes you want to make
  • You don’t have to support use cases that don’t matter to you personally
lolcatnip,

No. Conservatives just love to shit on West Coast cities.

lolcatnip,

No, people in the red zone think they’re in the green zone.
