Probably the latter. Almost nothing that sucked today sucked less 20, 40, 60, 80 etc… years ago. They almost universally sucked more. We’re just more aware.

For example, cops have always been beating black people; but that wasn’t common knowledge for most until recently.

Well now I feel silly. Brb changing my default path.

Can we just have flatpak apps added to the system path by default? Like have a directory /usr/local/flatpak/bin and have links to all the executable show up there. Then users can choose to add that to their path if they wish.

“We don’t” is the short answer. It’s unfortunate, but true.

DST vsm Standard time literally doesn’t matter. It’s the switching between the two that kills people.

In other words, China, Malaysia, Korea, etc. – somewhere in Asia.

The Shadow Broker’s leaks showed that state actors had whole tool suites to ensure that the product appeared like it was coming from a different location. Given that those tools have been leaked since 2016 and the concept is even older; relying on metadata like timezones, character set, etc… to make determinations about location is unreliable at best.

You don’t have to, but you should. Lenin and Mao practically worshiped Marx and they both attempted to implement his system faithfully to the spec he advocated for. And I know that viewpoint is somewhat controversial in non-Leninist/Maoist circles but I think it’s true.

What’s more I think the historical records of economic collectivism outside of Socialism and political Authoritarianism outside of Socialism are numerous and expensive enough to justify an opposition to Communism as a system.

I think the main realization that made me nominally support Capitalism is it’s performance in a “degraded” state. You can have the absolute worst scenarios (think Pinoche Chile) and Capitalism provides constant incentive to improve things and doesn’t seize up in the meantime. It continues to function even in the face of severe inefficiencies.

How else did you get music?

flex X on the fools does verbose logs only.

In theory that’s what we had in the VHS days. But I hear you. Piracy today is a superior product in almost any scenario.

Ironic as I went the other way. I was a Communist when I got into FOSS and as I got older I realized I could never defend the historical record of Communism.

No offense. But if it’s truly a money problem, the studios have nothing to loose by you pirating.

It’s always fascinated me that companies who understand their core value proposition of their business can be so fucked up in so many other ways and still succeed.

Piracy is a service problem.

They’ll find us soon

You should get a bread maker.

Brain drain is terminal for a technology product (most of the time). In the short term I’ll focus on making our products portable (migrating ec2 init scripts to docker, using frameworks for server less instead of using direct apis etc…). And when the time comes switch to whatever is best.

Maybe it’s time to consider alternative cloud providers at work. AWS is pretty good but they’re going to alienate a ton of talented engineers by doing this.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

I’ve never actually used unraid.
