And what do populations with a death sentence hanging over their heads usually do? Oh yeah, they take up arms and try to invade their better off neighbours. Maybe that's a worst case scenario, but the better ones still include many mil

Luckily Lit supports typescript so you wouldn't need to drop it.

I think the current strongest argument against it is that systemd complains when /usr is on a separate partition[1], and what its devs have weighed in on the matter[2]. [1] https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software&#x

The reason for having a separate /usr has long slid into obsolescence. Our storage is no longer constrained to require us to mount a remote partition which holds most of the binaries and other sundry required to boot a distribution.

Wouldn't banning political ads, and large sum political spending, and PACs and lobbying (I assume you're from the US based on the comments) be a better solution than whatever the f*ck "don't vote if you don't unders

That's what democracy is though. If only the right people are allowed to vote then you have a problem because their definition can change on a dime.

Yet there are many ways in which paper ballots can be taken advantage of. As an example do a search for Eastern European Carousel Voting[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carousel_voting

Posting those links without any insight from your side is just quoting dogma and, to me, it shows that you haven't really spent any time to consider the arguments. In my opinion shows that you lack imagination. Every problem Tom mentio

I think it's one thing to "know" in a cynical way what the world around you is, and another to have it confirmed by being immersed in it for any prolonged period of time. Assumedly Ai Wei Wei would have established himself in

Nice. Is there a way to track the work you're doing there (and in general actually)?

Off topic, but would there be a way to integrate marginalia with a specific website? Similarly to how people use google search for their forums or how HN uses algolia? I'm asking this as one of my projects is a link aggregator similar

I feel like you're moving the goal posts and using the greed caliper for measuring open-source success. Open-source doesn't need "to win", because as long as they have developers, projects go on, and as long as they have

I've been using Sailfish OS for quite some time, but I don't do all of my computing on the phone. There's quite a high friction for using any of the mainstream Android apps, so usually you have to find an alternative if possi

Any of the BSDs (well 2BSD is the oldest on a quick search), the linux project, the GNU C lib and GCC, etc. Just because you can't think of it, it does not mean it doesn't exist.

I see, it makes sense. But I feel like it is a worth while compromise. Attestation as I understand it is to allow third parties to trust a user's computing device for purposes of handling their sensitive data (both from the user's

by mariusor 1y ago
Where does this resigned opinion that open source can not do attestation come from? Do you really think it's impossible to build the attestation mechanisms inside open source OSs?

You forget that the people in the areas I mentioned are in the vast majority also poor. Are you going to pay for robot mounted air conditioning for them?

The problem is that I must make these distributions fit within my well established configuration, which is not as easy as installing them on top of a blank one. Also it might be the fact that vim was never my main programming tool when IDE

Civilization collapse for the temperate zones of the Globe, probably not, but civilization collapse for parts of Africa and Central Asia, most likely. Temperatures are getting out of hand right now, with 50+ Celsius happening more and more.

Not in my experience. And that's not necessarily saying much, but at least I had the courtesy of adding some qualifiers to my previous comment in order to avoid sweeping generalizations.
