I pray to the universe that that last scenario won't happen, but I'm totally doing it now if it does.

There have been several studies showing we don't have the raw resources to meet those demands. I hate the auto industry as much as the next person but this doesn't seem to address that at all.

All because social media fame and the attention made the bear used to cars and highways. Leave animals the fuck alone, we shouldn't have wilderness social media stars FFS.

Shit like this is the reason we have to keep the locations of the oldest trees a secret as well.

They're talking about packages you install, not the ISOs.

If you want open source adoption to continue to be low, please, keep making comments like this.

If you want people to switch, the apps need to be appealing not a chore. And relearning a workflow you've fine tuned over decades is a serious chore and may even be detrimental to your job.

I'm surprised the great firewall doesn't block known blocks of VPN IP addresses.

Yeah actually it was a Belarusian journalist, Roman Protasevich.

While contributing is great, the BSDs are kinda dying and it's probably better to spend that effort elsewhere. Even TrueNAS is leaving the BSD space. The fact that most applications are shipping via docker/Flatpak/snap etc. and that BSD does not have a good solution for those does not bode well for BSD.

There just really isn't that much development for BSD anymore. Everyone who wasn't on Linux is moving over to it.

How does that work when all of the production happens in other countries now? Is there some scenario where we have a socialist white collar economy? All the rhetoric surrounding Communism fits a blue collar economy where production is still the key driver of the economy. Most "1st world" economies these days are service economies not production economies. Is there some literature on how Communism fits in with a service economy?

The issue is every competitor will use the same targeted ads. No advertiser who is not using targeted ads by utilizing tracking data will never be as competitive because their ads won't be as effective.

Until we can kill these types of advertising by making laws against it or make tools that counteract them widespread enough that it makes the business unprofitable we will continue to have our data used against us.

These people care more about their "principles" and lack of fundamental understanding of the realities of a first past the post system, than the very real reality of people like us losing our rights.

Everyone who thinks voting 3rd party or staying home is an option is rooted in privilege.

No, it's because people like you don't vote in primaries. I vote in every primary for better candidates meanwhile people like you scream how the candidates are awful while staying home during the primaries.

The candidates won't get better until we grass roots organize and start actually making good candidates popular.

Also I guess losing the majority on SCOTUS and losing abortion rights was just a "hypothetical scenario" when people like you refused to vote for Hillary in 2016?

When will you people learn that, yes, elections have consequences.

Trying to pretend like they might not and Trump might somehow not be worse is being deliberately obtuse and sticking your head in the sand. Wake up and smell the reality.

Please tell me about your hypothetical future where you don't vote for Biden. Please explain to me what your best case scenario and outcome look like in that situation? Please tell me, what are you working towards?

If you think you're going to change anything by not voting or voting third party then I have a bridge I'd love to sell you and decades of American history I'd like you to read.

Please explain to me what action you're going to take and how that's going to lead to positive change?

Lol yes! Came here to post that, and this link: https://screenrant.com/burns-simpsons-phone-joke-clever-history-reference-explained/

Nope, they'd rather scream about "not voting for the lesser of two evils" full well knowing that if they don't that the likelihood of Trump becoming president and having MUCH worse policies for the Palestinians becomes much greater.

But hey, why care about the realities of a situation when you can scream about principles or something?

Is there so much more he could have done without an act of Congress? We saw from Trump's presidency that most executive orders do not hold up in court and Congress controls the power of the purse.

Uhh I think you're thinking of The Washington Post.

Remember how Russia forced Navalny's plane to land in a different country so they could arrest him? Not that I agree with the action, but it might not be a bad idea for Europeans and Netanyahu. Just sayin'.
