Rental income should not be the primary reason for housing to be built in the first place, so I don't buy that argument. The primary reason to build housing should be demand for home ownership. The volume of housing that ends up on the

How exactly did you get to the conclusion that fascism needs "strong men"? The current US regime has nothing but the weakest, most fearful men clutching to power. You really think that Trump's call to execute senator Kelly co

I consider OTA updates to be of negative value, actually. If my car needs fixing, I'll bring it in for servicing. If it's not broken, I don't want my car tampered with. Come back to me when there's a punitive liability m

I agree. It's sad to see maintainers take a "my way or the highway" approach to package maintenance, but this attitude has gradually become more accepted in Debian over the years. I've seen this play before, with differe

Banning smartphones in general would be more akin to banning kids from riding in cars (not driving them) How so? I don't see you make an argument for why your simile would be more accurate, and I fear I lack the imagination to conjur
