We accept everyone here*

*Everyone who runs the correct version of Linux, except if they use the wrong text editor.

What's up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren't broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it's still fun to give them a hard time about it.

Ensign is a perfectly cromulent rank to achieve during a Starfleet career.

Yes. Starfinder has planets, and some planets have caves.

I understand the distrust for Proton, but I can't help but notice that this could be a huge upgrade for folks fleeing from Microsoft and Google suites.

Edit: But for anyone who wants to conference call with a clean conscience, check out Matrix.org.

I will be back to the theaters for this. Sure, I just got my home theater setup how I like it. And yes, classic films in my collection are showing daily at whatever time I damn well please. And my snacks are both superior and cheaper.

I forgot where I was going with this.

Oh right. To the other room to watch a movie without any fucking ads.

Spooky. I thought that was my fridge for a minute, but this is just silly. Guns go in the crisper drawer for freshness.

if they want a document printed they just go out to some print shop.

In fairness, it can be expensive to stock the holy water necessary to fend off the demons that inhabit all printers.

My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.

But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.

Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.

There's a couple of them, I think.

I found this one:

Thanks!

I've created lots of things. The moment I finish creating it, I sign over my IP rights in exchange for money for food, and never have a right to it again.

Without IP law, the thing I created would at least be in the commons where I can still legally use it.

(I agree with your point, some IP law could be better than none. But I'll assert that a total void of all IP law would be better than what we have now.

And we need to theaten to void it all, to get the current rights holders to negotiate. Frankly, I don't think they will. I think we need to void all IP law and then encourage the next generation to create some new IP law after we starve our current billionaires.)

(All this is in spite of my objection to being on the same side of any argument with Jack Dorsey. I have no illusion that his motives are pro-social.)

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..

I'm sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)

Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
