Wasn’t he openly bragging about regular use of Ketamine a few years ago?

I thought him (and the entire SV “tech bro” scene for that matter) being in drugs was an open secret?

What is the fediverse chat equivalent?

This is the sort of outcome that comes when you hire people who were, “racist before either was cool.”

Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last Windows? I 'member.

At this moment maybe. But they had, in leave time, more autonomy than Puerto Rico.

Hamas has zero tanks, zero airplanes, zero competence. I’m pretty sure they’d lose a war to a number of New World Cartels. That’s not really a real comparison.

Gaza has had autonomy for 20 years.

You committed to paying?

Yes. Some Americans listen to Radiohead.

Well not nobody. Turns out there are some Nazis. /s

Is the capability to block any website something the Democrats want to enable with for Trump to abuse?

So boning 8 year olds is cool, but a VPN is a step too far?

“Civilian” hostages. Israel has compulsory military service. And a reasonable chunk of those taken hostage were active or reservist military members.

So no, not all.

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.
