Humans are corruptible, no matter who, and even the best of us would be corrupted when it comes to someone they love.

Agreed! That’s why I think it would be better if the workers ran things, instead of a few corrupt CEOs.

I love the top one, because it’s the same way they deal with pigeons. They see poor people as just another pest.

Fortunately, it isn’t a package deal. You can give people homes without taking away their rights.

Sooo… Arch makes you horny?

I think that funding creators is great if you have the money and the inclination. I just don’t think that it makes you an asshole if you don’t.

There are creators whom I fund because they give me exclusive extra content on their Patreons or sometimes if I just think that their work is important enough and I want to see it continue. If I decide that I need that money for something else, that’s up to me.

So, when you’re licking the boot, do you start at the heel or the toe?

seitanic, 10 months ago

Why should I?

If we were selfish, we wouldn’t be sharing our files in the first place, and the system would fall apart.

It’s the fact that we aren’t selfish that filesharing works at all.

When you steal books from a library, you’re preventing others from accessing those books. When you download a digital copy of a book, you aren’t.

Same thing with money. If you stole my money, I’d be upset, but I wouldn’t be upset if I had infinite money.

How do you mix up “ah” and “awe”?!

I’ve been using Linux for almost 20 years, and AFAIK in all that time I’ve never encountered a Linux virus. OTOH when I run Windows, I hit a virus within the first six months.

Yes, because “security through obscurity is not security”.

Damn, the Lovecraftian monsters in this thread are going to haunt my nightmares.

How does that work with you’re installing a new system? Do the subvolumes just show up like partitions?

seitanic, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

So, it doesn’t sound like it would be useful for me, since the reason why I have separate partitions in the first place is so that I can re-install a distro or install a new distro without having to back up /home first.

There is a huge difference between criticizing a government and criticizing a religion

Agreed, but I don’t think it’s religious bigotry; I think it’s racial bigotry. Antisemitism is a form of racism. Do you think the Nazis gave atheist Jews a free pass?

Yeah, it’s like the whole “tomatoes are actually a fruit” thing. So are zucchinis and eggplants, but nobody ever brings that up. It’s always tomatoes.

There’s a botanical definition and a culinary definition. So, that doesn’t mean that somebody who calls a tomato a vegetable is wrong. And don’t put any tomatoes in my fruit salad!

The funny thing is you’re both right.

OWS was run by anarchists. They had zero goals or leadership, and they actually seemed proud of that fact. It’s kind of mind-boggling that they thought they could accomplish anything by simply camping out indefinitely.

In view of that, I really can’t blame the identitarians for trying to co-opt. If they had won, there would’ve at least been goals and an agenda, instead of…sitting in tents all day.

If this is in the US, I feel like it would be a violation of OSHA. Or maybe it’s something so stupid that OSHA never thought to make it a rule.

If you’re going to make “as well” into one word, why not add “may”, too? Mayaswell!
