Money is not a representation of value. It is a representation of desire. I agree that, in principle, an economy does not have to be set up as a zero sum game, and at smaller scales (many of us don't realize that 1 billion is relativel

Almost as though open source software isn't a "roll your own government" adventure...

Yep. Cause this last one just went so well no controversy (allowed) at all...

Seems a bit hypocritical to write an article critical of "power-over" and then end on a note that essentially suggest giving "power over" others to the supposedly and self labeled marginalized. Let's not forget, the

Solar and wind are detrimental to the environment in their own respects, and will never generate enough energy to solve the problem :D

Yes because poor Nintendo doesn't have enough money, they need a perpetual debt slave as well.

Do I have to be retiring? The worst thing about my profession is the historical ignorance, willful dishonesty, egotism and shear cowardice of individuals who have far too much influence over the rest of society to be any of these things. Gu

This isn't going to make anything better, except perhaps the size of your ego. Open-source isn't the reason the world is in a dismal state, in fact it was doing a fairly good job of addressing the world's overt shift toward a

Did you ever consider that public is horrendously misinformed on basically every "social issue" that arises, and it would literally do more good by just staying the fuck out of it? It's just a fucking circus to prove to every

If you want a summary I can give you a really quick one. I've watched this bias, manipulative and corrosive moderating action escalate from the moment the team was created. I was there arguing against the moderation team when it was fi

I'm not sure if you realize that people aren't as stupid as you seem to think they are, and they are getting tired of this ridiculous rhetoric, and in this particular case, it is quite provable that you are lying. We know the game

You would have to be able to overwrite a syscall in userspace (which would be a massive security hole) or have some kinda kernel driver (but you said disk encryption doesn't work for some odd reason, otherwise that's your solution

A lot of people put minimal possible effort in at the gym or other kinds of exercising. I often see people "jogging" that are basically just walking with a bit of a skip, for example. I believe this is correlated with diet, which

I quit social media in 2012, when I was 22 and often, it feels like I live in a completely different universe. GitHub, and a few tech forums, is about the closest thing, and I guess it is basically a full social media platform at this point

I did use git for a long time for just this purpose. I don't even remember the details now, but it worked well enough for a single machine. The main reason I switched to Nix about 8-9 years ago to manage my configurations was the deter

If we make it that far, and if freedom ever returns, 100 years from now (or more) they will gloss over the atrocities of the 20th century and the main event will be how in the 21st century they actually convinced the whole world that powerf

Points for quite possibly the most useless article I've read in a while. Thanks

Physically healthy how? Just because she doesn't have any medical conditions or because she exercises on a regular basis. In the latter case, recent studies have shown exercise to be even more effective than medication or therapy. As s

Sure, and bit for bit reproducible builds are useful in their own right, but what Nix provides is (effectively) reproducible environments. I used to be a huge fan of Arch as well, but NixOS has significantly boosted my productivity over the

In my view at least, DevOps is more of a philosophy, whereas platform engineering is a specific, integrated approach in the spirit of that philosophy. The former is about keeping a tight and integrated loop between development and operation
