Both zoomers and boomers are guilty of opposite problems No, zoomer, Facebook is not a good use of your time. Get a PC and create content, rather than consume it. You have access to a miracle of modern technology, and you squander it on gar

This amuses me. Here, I'll explain the joke for you. There's a certain perversity in writing a C compiler in Rust, the language designed to replace C. Yet, you wrote a compiler for another, smaller language, implying Rust wasn&#x2

There were plenty of disastrous wars, but clearly the US did not intend to commit genocide, and I very much doubt it did, in any war. The same cannot be said for China. Of course, there's the historic case of the native Americans, bu

Why do we focus on China? Because they're usually doing worse things, and on larger scales, than the West.

I'm so tired of this drivel. I don't understand how anyone can take themselves seriously saying this shit, comparing the two issues. Only thing I can think of is being paid off by the CCP.

How dare you use the word "utilitarian" in such an atrocious context. I've been a "real" utilitarian for almost a decade (as much as is possible to be), and I consider China the single greatest threat to freedom and

No, we do not, because the crimes of the US are not equally severe and/or are historic and not actively occurring. There's a difference between systemic racism and state-sanctioned cultural genocide signed off on by the dictator h

NPC detected! /s I always wondered how people were capable of thinking that. I'm atheist myself, but I don't think consciousness can be explained away so easily. For one, we are observing something, there is something in that

You know, interestingly, in the 12 years I've used Linux, I've never once needed something like rundll32, but I've needed it in Windows several times. I suppose because Microsoft buries the advanced stuff as function calls in

I'm expecting this to be another Oracle/Sun acquisition, e.g. annihilates everything the old company's customers ever liked about them. So no, I don't think this FOSS contribution will continue. Nvidia is notoriously ho

I am talking about the official implementation of the RPM package manager from Red Hat.

> Huh? Downgrades are fully supported by dpkg and apt. No, they aren't. You need to remove the newer version prior to installing the old one. RPM based systems allow you to downgrade to an entirely different distro release with one

True, RPM is pretty messed up as far as complexity. But, let's consider that I have never had an RPM-using system have its package database corrupted beyond repair (you can rebuild it with rpmdb --rebuilddb), and unlike dpkg/deb,
