Same. Although gmail is not fine with this. If I want to talk to a gmailian, they must send me an email first. Sometimes my reply gets spammed too. Bonus: a ghetto alias generator: dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1 count=10 | base64

1984 could have turned into billions if allowed. A billion-strong movement does not appear fully formed out of the blue. Also, you ignored the Gwangju one which had an entire city of hundreds of thousands. Or should I mention Hong Kong? At

I'm not familiar with the details of the Communist party, but today's China is autocratic. It's a mistake to take the democratic principle of "people can enact change" and take it to an autocratic government (and ou

Nothing makes me believe they don't support the government. Just like nothing makes me believe they could enact any change if they wanted, which is what the parent implied.

That's how totalitarian regimes work: voicing dissent is dangerous. See other comment (not mine).

I'm not sure how much this helps, but better fire up your Debian 3 inside a virtual machine. Then you can copy files with scp and commit them to git or whatever other version control on your main host. And those flags should be used fi

Note that this may detect a lot of problems that are not necessarily fatal. It's just that enabling those warnings and sticking to it prevents errors from appearing once you earnestly start working with the code - like you will need

Taken to the extreme: if you allocate literally all resources to fighting global warming, you're bound to end up with no resources for something . Let's take nuclear disarmament as a trivial example. Moreover, I'm not seeing

That's a mutual dependence then. It's still dependent on the unreasonable man. I look at this in terms of variance: there are few ways to be reasonable, but many to be unreasonable. Many of the unreasonable ones lead nowhere, but

Everyone's a hero of their own story. People want to be important and acknowledged. Having no impact on others means an eternal lack of acknowledgement. That drives people to have a purpose, I think.

What does it mean that "democracy has failed"? In my opinion, the failure of democracy is that it appears unstable, and its superpower of kicking out lasts only so much. In that light, the surveys showing that people want military
