oh I didn't know about the border wall thing ... well that's ultimate peak autistic political retardation right there.
I'm not entirely behind the "strings attached" by donation thing. I guess there are ideas and expectations, but at the same time, Intel/IBM and hell even Microsoft make big code contributions to several kernel projects.
Mixing your political beliefs with what your want to support in the FOSS world should be shamed as being morally void. Who cares if the person who contributes to your project likes killing babies, is against killing babies, thinks borders mean something, loves Biden, thinks Biden is a potatophile, etc. etc. The only underlying belief should be that of making good open software for all people to use. Code of conducts are open source cancer. Brendan Eich did nothing wrong*!!!!
* At Mozilla. He still created Javascript, which is a sin punishable by the eternal flames of hell.
I've never used NixOS, but Nix as a package manager is honestly pretty amazing. Like imagine not updating individual packages, but the entire damn package tree at once. Imagine a single hash giving you the entire state of an apt or yum repo at a given point in time. Imagine not having all your packages kludged together into /usr/bin, /usr/share/, /usr/include, etc. Each one having its own /nix/store/<package>-<unique hash>
I use it right now for nix-shell and to build nix containers. The trouble is the documentation is garbage and the nix expression language is dogshit. But conceptually, it solves SO MANY PROBLEMS with Linux package state.
I know little about the current drama. It seems like the Nix community doesn't understand things cost money. They don't want a defense contractor sponsorship for an event, but probably wouldn't care if an abortion clinic sponsored an event ... like, zero self-awareness.
or because it just naturally arises because it has to in order for things to work. This constantly happens in nature. There is one queen bee and thousands of workers/drones. They have evolved to work somewhat independently, but they have also evolved to serve the colony.
I agree. Anarchy might work in a little cult community, or to replace an HOA in a gated community ... but even then you're talking about a lot of people with resources and vested interest.
The computers (or phones) we're typing on right now, and the networking infrastructure that makes global community possible, does requite a State (multiple states). You cannot have technology at the scale we have without institution some type of governance. You can't have interoperability without standards. Something as simple as the postal system, or as complex as Interstates/Autobahns, still requires a functioning State to work.
Just like criticizing the Americans who support Trump isn't an attack against all Americans.
You lost me when you're hating on the only US president in our lifetimes that didn't start a new war, tried to stop illegal immigration, added tariffs to increase US manufacturing, personally called the families of every solider that died on his watch (Obama couldn't do this; he would have spent his entire administration on the phone) ... Trump wasn't the best. He fucked up the COVID policy, shut down a country that shouldn't have been and pushed the most dangerous untested preventative ever released on a global scale. But I think you have some serious consistency issues with your message.
It's not the phone. The dude got it wrong; his kid linking his phone had nothing to do with it. Tacoma's and Tundra's with Safety Connect have permanent cell phone modems built into the car. They're under the glovebox and require a bypass harness to turn off (if you pull the fuse you lose the right speaker and Bluetooth). Louis Rossman covered it. GM and Toyota sell your data to Lexus Nexus.
hmm ... guess the pricing changes kinda make more sense now ... I mean not really. They should have just cut costs instead of fucking over devs/publishers, but I guess I can see why they attempted it now.
Movies also have an affect at pacifying people. You show people a dystopian film with a hero and people suddenly feel enlightened like they can see though the system. I wrote about this a few years back:
It's just re-branded machine learning .. some of it .. some of it is just a non-machine learning algo .. rebranded
shitty Pajeet coding
I'm a pajeet who makes six figures and writes good software. I'm not sure if your a honkie, slave, wagie or whatever, but I do know you're a worthless piece of shit.
