I've observed that most "enthusiasts" are really just brand ambassadors. They've been captured by some proprietary software that doesn't run on Linux, and that's the problem of Linux. The day their set of produ

Switched in, ooh i dunno, '98 or '99. Quality is about where it was then relatively speaking. Sure things have improved, mainly just systemd, and we got ACPI and later power management stuff for laptops. Prior to that windows was

Actually yes, that would be an ideal intervention of state into computing infrastructure. It could even be revenue generating as, once developed, it could be sold out to the private sector, instead of essentially being taxed by foreign corp

Billionaires have sabotaged pretty much every aspect of life by using their enormous wealth, power, and influence to hijack our public institutions. They're destroying our country and our way of life. We don't have to bend over pa

Probably for the best... Like, anyone who would work with some of my previous employers, are places I wouldn't want to work anyway. It's a big wide world out there.

Yeah, the details are scattered through the article, so you've got to pay close attention. It says that the LCA that the industry produced ignored the carbon intensivity of draining wetland, creating more farmland, and fertilizing it.

It's explained in the article. People aren't going to starve to fill their gas tank so you need to grow more corn to offset that used for biofuel. To do that can require destroying other carbon sinks (wetlands are the example give

Yeah the gwangju massacre definitely happened, and he definitely authorized it because the troops who did it were under the command of John Adams Wickham. The agreed framework would have prevented North Korean nukes, had the US actually h

Among the proposed strategies is to actually do such studies: https://www.usich.gov/sites/default/files/document/19%20Stra... Most of the other suggestions are banal, and self-evident qualitative improve

As you well know, because Musk is a free-speech absolutist/crusader. Actually so much so that he is constantly attacked, and vilified for his courageous position. He is also a bold defender of the light of human consciousness itself. S

not to nitpick, but I think "reactionary" or "aspiring crank" are probably more descriptive :) "This isn't music, back in my day we had Credence"

There's a great documentary about waco on Netflix and at the end, the guy who is was in command of the troops who massacred 80 women and children concluded (after 30 years of reflection), "you know the real victim was? Me, because

If changing the implementation but not the behaviour breaks a test, I just delete the test.

"The plant is capable of removing 1,000 tons of CO2 a year" So about equivalent to 100 hectares of forest? Anyway, cool, another 50 million more of these facilities and we'll be at break-even.

I'd love to read the papers cited there without having to buy that book. I wonder if what is defined as "support" is actually, meddling, undermining, and pressurzing children into fulfilling the parents needs.

It's on a different topic. ie. That if people speak up for themselves, or they want to address unfairness or inequality in their society, it's because their parents hugged them when they cried as babies, instead of ignoring them,

You should read the paper. That's basically what it's about. eg. car oriented neighbourhoods mean kids don't get to play as much, and that's a factor which is independent of economic/social status. But also other so

It reminds me of every layoff ever. It's a remarkable feature of layoffs that the people organizing them never have to lay themselves off. Think of the awkward conversations they would have had to have with their family... "Honey,

They don't care about the policies. If you believe that any of these people are good faith actors or care about the benefits of policies then you haven't been paying attention for the last 13 years. This is pure politics. They kno
