I cannot edit anymore, so I add this: This is the case in a distribution (Arch) that has effectively taken the maintainer's advice into account, not the reverse.

Yep. Almost (it uses a wrapper script instead of a symlink), but it ends up being such a silly situation all the same... Thanks for pointing it out though, I was not aware!

The current contents (not joking): (this is why the situation is crazy) #!/bin/sh cmd=${0##\*/} echo "$cmd: warning: $cmd is obsolescent; using grep -E" >&2 exec grep -E "$@"

This should be the top comment lol. Such an insanity... They are wrapper scripts that precisely enable to obey to the advice the warning is giving, yet the warning ends up advising not using the wrapper...

They (the maintainer) should make the behavior of `grep` depending on the name of the executable. Then one could simply do a `ln -s grep egrep` and be done with it.

Yes. And we also know that vegetarian people's digestive tract becomes longer after switching from a meat diet, and the reverse also happens if they go back to meat. So there is definitely adaptation going on, and it's not at all

Also how do you dare been "neutral" in front of this war?? So this means you have found potential justifications for crimes against Humanity?

Judging by your name was my mistake, my apologies, but if you want to stop people to be harsh with you, you can also just stop trying to defend a bloodthirsty dictator... Also stop mixing facts of past governments and past eras with judging

> restarting coal Not at all on a large scale. In France only one single plant is prepared to be restarted, among a lot of criticism from the population. This has nothing to do with "restarting coal" in a broad meaning. > LN

Nah... see my other comment. In short, rich people and large team = impossible to sustain such a cognitive dissonance.

The pipeline operation would require rich individuals, presumably educated, a fortiori if they are so invested in ecology. Do you think they would release millions of tons of CO2-equivalent of methane in the air? Moreover they would need a

Yeah car dealer arson, allrighty. Did you notice that two deep sea major pipelines have been blown up recently? Do you think that compares? A car dealer can be set on fire by a single individual , and even one in a situation of extreme

No. Because there (currently) is no such thing as an "eco-terrorist organisation" that is not just an eco-activist organisation (funded by donations and governmental subsidies) being disparaged by an opponent. Or do you have examp

They did that so that it gets replaced by renewables (but it did not go according to the plan...). And in all honesty, between renewables and nuclear (fission), renewables are clearly a better investment.

Because funds.

Yep. Sadly this is the mindset of Putin, and why he cares so little about GHG... I'm sure the Russian population does not think like that, but it's not as if they had their say...

> It's going to be burned into CO2 anyway. No, because if the pipeline is not used, there is an incentive to slow down methane extraction and transport on the Russian side. But if they can send it in the pipe and make it leak to pis

They have no incentive to do actions that damage the environment: Ecology activist organizations are funded by donations, which would dry up completely at the instant they are proven to be involved in such a disastrous leak.

No, the business side was Trump's side. "Sustainability" (but not in the planet-preserving / extinction-event-avoiding meaning) of fossil fuel over the next century is not at all a problem, if we wished so.

I'm speaking about nowadays, did you notice? While you're at it, why not speak of Petain and collaboration with Nazis? What is holding you back? Why are you speaking of different times with a different government? And times when t

The "ecoterrorist" option is just ridiculous, the methane leak is disaster for the climate.

Yes, basically the Biden government has been elected on this particular point. The whole free world wants to reduce global warming, so democratic governments want too, in agreement with the population wish. Same in France, where ecology has

by henearkr 4y ago
Not at all. EU has been adamant that this was not the good time to go all-coal for example. They could have done just that but no, the whole population and the politics are against (except in a few illiberal "democracies"). Even i

by henearkr 4y ago
Oh please!! ... The US invests trillions in reducing global warming yet you think they'd leak thousands of tons of methane in the air just like that??? .......
356.
by henearkr 4y ago
EU and the USA have no interest to provoke methane leaks, as it is a very highly greenhouse effect gas. Putin, on the other hand, does not care.

Why is it so hard to think about releasing them in a forest or in a field? They don't eat wheat or corn, so that would be a solution, also they don't eat trees, so the forest is safe. They will always find what they need in a fore

Not very difficult. If it disgusts you too much, why not let the drone do it for you. Then again, if it disgusts you that much, you probably prefer killing the poor beasts.

by henearkr 4y ago
I would, definitely! And members of my family who do not like roaches also agree that it would be better to not kill them. But I really do need that for mosquitoes, with a tiny vacuum mounted on a quadcopter with a high-precision camera and

As we set up machines do the hard work for us, why not just have the machine scoop up the cockroach in a little box and store it to be freed later far away from the house? It would be far more impressive and "feels good news" than
