No relation to the sports channel.
I recommend picking up Graham Hutton’s short text Programming in Haskell, Second Edition. Even if you don’t end up using Haskell in “real work” (and you might!) it will teach you a remarkable number of things about how functional programming works.
The term “open source software” was coined specifically to refer to software licensing that recognizes a particular set of freedoms. It is not a generic term for source-available software, and never was.
One of the freedoms of open source is “no discrimination against fields of endeavor.”
Calling the Hippocratic license family “open source” is inaccurate, since its entire goal is to discriminate against certain fields of endeavor.
It’s better described as a sort of source-available license.
Billionaires have always turned on Trump, slightly more than underage girls.
If I recall correctly, Burke expected the French Revolution to eat itself and turn tyrannical … which, y’know, it did. He was right about that.
Reagan wasn’t good on HIV-AIDS.
George H. W. Bush wasn’t either.
But George W. Bush was.
PEPFAR was Baby Bush’s baby.
I don’t think the passage you quoted was intended to say that Reagan was good on HIV-AIDS, but rather that America ended up being good on HIV-AIDS.
Doctors can tell you how to save children’s lives. But they can’t make you want to.
Accelerationism aims at putting fascists into power; thus it is a species of fascism.
Third, I know you’re just trying to troll, but we generally use anti-semetic to refer to anti-jewish.
More specifically, “antisemitism” comes from the German Antisemitismus which was popularized as a more technical-sounding euphemism for Judenhass (Jew-hate). It never meant “antipathy towards Semitic-language speakers”.
The people who proudly called themselves antisemites, and formed the Antisemiten-Liga (Antisemites League) did not target Arabs, Ethiopians, or other speakers of the Semitic language family; they targeted Jews.
So you’re into sending the police after the writers, directors, and producers of the Saw movies, but not the audiences?
I dunno man, that’s still too fascist for my tastes, but you can keep fantasizing about it. I promise I won’t try to send the police after you for your perverted fantasies of state power.
I hate torture-porn movies like the Saw series, but a lot of people are fans of them. Should I worry that those people are likely to commit kidnapping, torture, and murder? Should I advocate that the makers or watchers of those movies be investigated for kidnapping, torture, and murder — without any evidence that a crime was committed?
We don’t send the cops after people for liking murder stories, theft stories, industrial sabotage stories, or treason stories. We shouldn’t send the cops after people for liking stories of Harry Potter getting fucked by Severus Snape either.
I think you should be more careful to distinguish fantasy from reality. Most fiction readers and writers have no problem doing so.
I’m just saying, police investigation of fiction creators and readers for the content of their fiction is way over the line of a lot of social and political norms.
(Also, I think you’ll find that police abuse children a lot more than pervy fiction fans do; so who should be investigating whom?)
Just to be clear, are you saying that people should be investigated by the police for fictional stories that they read?
Gotta admit, I originally wrote “old farts” and “young shits”, and decided that was too rude.
Yup. Tampa Bay is looking at a major disaster on Wednesday and DeSatans is playing politics with it.
Federated platforms don’t die to corporate-type enshittification. They die to spam or elitism.
If operators fail to collaborate on keeping spam down, the platform becomes unusable or greatly-diminished due to spam. See Usenet for example — yes, it’s still around, but it’s greatly diminished from the 1990s. New projects and organizations don’t tell participants to subscribe to a Usenet newsgroup for discussion. (Curiously, email mailing-lists have outlived Usenet in this way, at least for technical projects. While email is federated, any given mailing-list is centralized.)
If the technology isn’t developed with an eye to new users’ needs and new use cases, because it’s “good enough” for the existing established users, the platform becomes dated and gets replaced by something trendy and corporate. This is IRC vs. Discord and Slack. IRC has a higher barrier to entry and infamously doesn’t work well on mobile — but it’s good enough for the old farts who care about it, while the young farts move to Discord instead.
I thought everyone knew meth comes from Nazis. Like, not only have white-supremacist dirtbags been big in the US meth trade since forever, but the actual historical German Nazis were literally on meth. Here’s Wikipedia —
From 1938, methamphetamine was marketed on a large scale in Germany as a nonprescription drug under the brand name Pervitin, produced by the Berlin-based Temmler pharmaceutical company. It was used by all branches of the combined armed forces of the Third Reich, for its stimulant effects and to induce extended wakefulness. Pervitin became colloquially known among the German troops as “Stuka-Tablets” (Stuka-Tabletten) and “Herman-Göring-Pills” (Hermann-Göring-Pillen), as a snide allusion to Göring’s widely-known addiction to drugs.
Because Trumpism is deeply anti-American; it holds the people and institutions of the US in contempt.
It has been obvious for many years that the Trump movement aims at the downfall of America, through the promotion and exaggeration of America’s flaws and the increasingly violent suppression of its virtues.
