Before giving others lessons you should get your facts straight. PipeWire is meant to be a complete replacement for not only JACK, but also PulseAudio. One of it's goals is to merge the functionality of both of these and only provide a

Well I agree that patriarcal culture (of which veils and minarets are symbols) has nothing to do in central/northern europe. I don't care about freedom of religion, I care about being freed from religion. And it sounds like the sw

And so now's the time when you are going to reveal to me the special case U.S. meaning of these words? I'll make it simple for you: U.S. society is nothing to be proud of and should not be looked up to as a model. Oh and by the wa

No, actually it's the only place that's somewhat democratic.

No, you just can't recognize that systemd is objectively and clearly superior to every other Linux init system by just about every measure. In fact, systemd is revolutionary in it's own right and that's why it is hated so muc

Yes I'm trolling/mocking you anti-systemd retards. That's what Schopenhauer recommends as a strategy against irrational rhetoric (here of the reactionary kind). I couldn't care less for irrational people's reading r

The noble knights of UNIX lore and traditions are at it again. Lo and behold! Armed with the arcane power of ancient spaghetti code shell scripts and logical fallacies, they grep their way through enemy lines to banish the dreaded modernity

That's right. Petitions are just pleas to the king. Except that there is no king here. There is an oligarchy. This is what a republic is. In a real democracy (such as ancient athens) the citizens get to vote the laws directly and publi

Pure reactionary fear-mongering. Any new technology will have quirks that will eventually get fixed when they are found. As always, the problem is not the technology but the profit incentive for introducing the technology. To introduce a ne

Gtk+ 3 is part of the modern degenerate conspiracy along with systemd and other abominations such as kdbus to destroy Linux by straying from the time-honored ancestral traditions of UNIX which were devised when men were still true hardworki

Since when do anarchists care about "tradition"? Tradition is central to right wing ideology. And since when is feminism central to anarchism? I guess since marxist-inspired leftists (and now SJWs) hijacked it distorting the meani

What's wrong with eugenism? Technology allows eugenism to be implemented without being unfair to anyone. But I fail to see how eugenism is needed to allow monogamous humans to exist on their own terms. I guess mentionning eugenism here

This is certainly what tumblr ideologues who haven't bothered checking scientific facts (behavioral biology) like to believe.

Being knowledgeable about the typical behavior of polygamous primate species as compared to monogamous ones, I find polygamy questionable.

Saudi Arabia allows polygyny which is the complete opposite of this.

Let's discuss how we are forced to live with people who don't share our standards of behavior (like those who cling to 17th century individualistic philosophy which science has long debunked) and force us to compromise on the kind

The Bolsheviks were bloodthirsty subhumans just as much as the aristocracy. Any hierarchy is inherently bad.

Plan for Greece : 1) overthrow parliamentary regime 2) set up a democracy ancient athens style 3) round up professional politicians of all stripes, capitalist thieves (pleonasm), media whores and economists and put them at work in labor cam

Weren't those who invented the humanities (the romans) (ur)fascists too? Because that Mussolini guy was greatly inspired by them to implement his regime if my memory serves me right. Seriously, in the age of space exploration, roman-in

No, it's the other way around. It was athenian citizenship which was transmitted by birth. First you had to have at least one athenian parent. And then later athenians voted to change the law so two athenian parents would be required.

But you mentioned Iceland because you were agreeing with the parent poster who was talking about ancient Athens. So I was replying to both of you. I probably need to research Iceland, but I did the work for Athens : https://en.wi

Foreign residents by definition are not citizens. They don't get to vote in elections of parliementary regimes either. But assuming foreign residents could vote, then anyone can come en masse and just change the outcome of the vote. As

I'm not completely sure about iceland. I think I read it was one vote per family. But as far as ancient athens goes, every male regardless of wealth or status got to vote the laws and decrees. And were in fact very much encouraged to d
