Oops, sorry for that. I don't have a browser that supports dark mode, so I just tried something that I thought may work. Then I changed some CSS earlier this morning that probably messed something up. I'll try to fix it as soon as

Markdown is it's own formatting environment! All it needs is a constant-width font, a concept not particularly new to the world of computers. If there were no downsides to this, and email was build from the first day on to work with HT

UBI was never a "selling point" for Communism (except if you have a very vulgar concept of Communism), quite the opposite it's what sustains Capitalism beyond the point it should have already had died off.

Peterson is one of tre most repulsive figures in modern (political/philosophical) discourse, in my eyes. His strawmen only make sense if you either know nothing about any most modern theorists or philosophy in general or if you need so

Why was this posted on HN? Edit: this was not meant in a pejorative way, it was a sincere question. I thought it was Off-topic.

But you can do the same with the standard arch repositories too. The (intended) advantage of the AUR was precisely that people don't have to create their own repositories that are hard to trust and have to be updated all the time, can

I don't think any *BSD uses xbps - sadly.

For me it was mainly package management, and the unwillingness to get acquainted to a new userland. But it has to be said, that void is pretty BSD-like, in some ways, and maybe someone will port pf one day (although I don't even know i

The difference would probably be that while anyone can add (or update) a package to the AUR, the xbps-src maintainers have to explicitly allow this. On the one hand it makes it harder to start contributing, but on the other hand, there is a

I belive his point is that you actually use "ln -s" to activate a service, instead of it being done by some utility, without you knowing what else it might have done too.

I'd agree, but luckely it's not the consumers responsibility for a company to turn in a profit - and I see no reason whatsoever to care about other companies by helping them invade the privacy of so many people. After all, they w

Ah yes, what's better than trying to shift the blame from the actual people and groups doing this, to individuals, who often don't even know better? No need to address the companies or (dare I say) suggest regulations. It's t

Well I don't disagree with your thesis in principle, I'm just adding that science is part of philosophy, as it too seeks to find out what is true and what not. And after all, logic and mathematics come from philosophy - there is n

That's an extreme generalisation. Yes, there are philosphers and philosophies that would reject these things, but it's absurd to assume that all do. You also have to remember that science operates within it's own framework, a
