A friend of mine got into flat earth. He didn’t care about proofs or anything like that. As far as I could tell, he was in it for the community.
I feel differently about clothing that has the name of the clothing company on it than I do clothing that has the name of a podcast or something like that.

Where did I say that I wasn’t going to vote? I’m voting Green. If there’s a good Democrat running for Congress, I’ll vote for them, too. This isn’t complicated.
I live in a blue state. Using that same logic, my vote for a Democrat is a wasted vote, because my state is going to go blue whether I vote for them or not.
I read a biography of Stallman several years ago. The whole free software movement was an attempt to preserve the early hacker culture where everybody freely swapped code. So, Stallman didn’t really “invent” FOSS; he just codified that early hacker ethos.
What was minix then? A non FOSS version?

I bet you think drinking water is a subscription service too.
That probably isn’t the example you want to use. I pay a monthly fee to get clean water pumped to my apartment, as do most people.
Wait…you think those are intuitive? Fuck no.
Who’s going to intuitively know that “long hand pointing at 2” means “10 minutes after the hour”? Also, having the long hand for minutes is super unintuitive when hours are longer than minutes.
Fish shell does this automatically. It’s one of the reasons I love it. You can auto-complete based on your command history.
It sounds like that’s her argument.
Twitter is dead.
Sarcasm and satire are ableist.
You need philosophy to do science. So, philosophy leads to science, not the other way around.
GNOME + Debian
Into the trash it goes.
I used to think “Elon Musk” was some type of fancy French perfume. I miss those days.
“Per se” means “in itself”, so it’s a shorter way of saying “also the word ‘and’ itself”.
“Apart” and “a part” are opposites, though. If you’re a part of something, you can’t be apart from it.
What if people understand you, but they think you’re stupid?
How can you leave when they’re in your country?
