The cult of Stallman continues to baffle me. The man is venom in the veins of the free software community and people just adore him.
I love the ideals of the free software movement but RMS is so toxic that I won’t associate myself with it while he’s tolerated.
Careful now, “good faith” is religiously charged and implies that God is the source of all good intent, you’re gonna set this person off with that.
(/s hopefully obviously)
Multiple reports from observers of this execution method: it’s horrible, they thrash around on the gurney and seem to suffer greatly
This guy: nuh uh.
I’m definitely making fun of the original post. “Your phone is bad and you should feel bad based on this cherry picked set of metrics” is one of the dumbest debates of all time. Right up there with “my OS is better than your OS”.
Let people like what they like.
But if we don’t make the kind of phone we use our entire identity how will we know who we’re totally better than?
The White House said in a statement it was “deeply disturbed” by the killing and seeking an Israeli investigation.
Waiting on “We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”.
Being actively under indictment is a lot different than just being investigated. Indictment requires that sufficient evidence has been gathered, reviewed, and (for a federal case) at least 12 of 23 jurors in a grand jury believe there is at least a 50% chance that you have actually committed a crime (12/16 jurors at the state level).
By the time you have been indicted you have received a lot of due process resulting in a concrete belief that if you go to court you will be convicted of having committed a crime.
I appreciate your intent with this, but one of our fundamental rights is due process. Penalizing an individual for simply being investigated would violate that right.
I’m not sure I’m willing to participate in experimenting with a US government where due process is wishy washy. I remember how horny we got for suspending habeas corpus via the patriot act.
I assume if the client is undetectable that ads will escalate to phoning home for viewing confirmation, and then to something even more dumb once we beat that.
It’s an arms race, it’s probably silly to think we can just outright win for once and all.
That monster. Goosebumps was a foundational part of my lifelong love of reading.
