Plenty of medical science has been done with less greedy motives, such as eliminating suffering. For that reason, medical science can easily survive the capitalists abandoning it.

Your culture was completely robbed from you before you were born. What stories do you love? What music fills your head? What great deeds of the past inspire you? Are you allowed to share ANY of that freely?

Getting the interface out of your hands along with some portable system of trust would shake things up a bit.

Yeah. It is really sad. We're getting hyper-polarized options and information everywhere we look, and it's affected people's ability to argue a specific point if they detect any misalignment of interests. I've been calli

This whole comment section certainly supports that observation. Massive amounts of "you're doing it wrong" instead of compassion.

We did fork debian, and here are a TON of people who say they do not care, but still insist that we are doing it wrong for some reason.

I've been using linux since kernel 2.2. Deployed hundreds if not thousands of workstations for home users and developers. Trust me, I've seen desktop ups and downs, and I disagree. Systemd works until it doesn't, and then it&

Debian shipping this despite the obvious backlash was the whole reason I jumped ship too, that and the frequent boot failures and looooong timeouts (which I'm sure someone will be happy to tell me are my own fault).

by silversconfused 7y ago
Then you are commenting on the wrong post. This post is about the systems that do not use systemd. Justifying your own use by demanding examples of failure is... odd here.

Being dismissed as a meme is tiring as well. I like hacking on my system at boot time, and dismissing my use case because of your own is kinda hostile.

To be fair, the ones sending death threats are contributing negatively, while the fork effort is a positive contribution to the situation. We'd appreciate not being lumped in with the worst offenders, if you'd be so kind.

Helping them convict assange could undo the public benefit of her previous actions. How could she morally do that, regardless of who's authority compels her? She's doing the right thing.

It's grossly lacking context.

Nothing to gain, everything to lose. She's doing the right thing. Huge self sacrifice.

Making a decision that limits the growth of the core product means that you are a negatively impacting revenue... IE, career suicide. This isn't a government (ideally) trying to prevent conflict and unrest, this is just a company makin

The value being in the network means the value is subject to social whims. That's not a secure place to do business long term. All other places I listed have networks as well. You have chosen to think this network is better for you, bu

My good dude, once you've heard of them, they are not cool anymore. Cool is exclusive. Cool is mysterious. Cool doesn't care what is popular. When cool goes mainstream, it's not cool anymore! The trendsetters have already mov

Obviously that's exactly why they are NOT at facebook, though I chuckle at your attempt to reducing it to something as inconsequential as personal preference.

Literally none of those things depend on facebook though. Mastodon, reddit, IRC, or just sitting in your aunt's kitchen for an afternoon could substitute nicely. They have no niche.

What? Why? I just lovingly forged this hammer shaped thing and some crude nails for you! Surely they are as good as any off the shelf hammer and nails! In fact, 70% of this whole village was built with these little puppies!
