That's a lie that the US government has desperately been trying to push for decades. The creation and detonation of nukes was an entirely avoidale atrocity.

But in this analogy, instead of disabling the ink/internet, they disabled your entire printer/computer. They didn't withold further service, they actively made something this person already owns useless through a malicious backdoor.

This seems like a very reasonable and pretty tame warning?

I'm a nihilist and I don't think that's true whatsoever. At least to be a moral nihilist, it just means I don't believe in any metaethical framework (no "oughts")

Regardless of whether or not I think killing me would have or create some objectively bad property, I have an egotistical attachment to living, and of course I'm going to try to avoid it.

My ethics and my desires are related but different.

??? There are thousands of companies that do business in the US that aren't american.

I don't think "it's weird therefore bad" is a good argument. If you're gonna argue for veganism (which I don't have a problem work doing!) I think there are way, way better reasons.

"it's weird and should be more stigmatized" that seems to be making a moral claim right? I guess you never explicitly said that it's because it's weird that it should be stigmatized, but it certainly seemed to be structured like that.

And ah maybe I misunderstood, what you were saying just sounds like how a lot of ppl talk about it on the vegan forums I used to regular, lmao.

I think that's ridiculous. I vastly prefer FOSS and so I won't use this, but clearly professional software being ported to Linux is a big deal for Linux and its userbase.

Should we ban discussion about any distro that's not certified by the FSF? Should we ban news about proprietary Nvidia drivers?

I mean, I definitely consider my patched DWM as part of my dotfiles, just one that happens to be compiled. And if I can 1-up your pedantry, mine is in .local so it is literally in my "dot"files :P.

No they don't?

Wanting to restrict the rights of minorites isn't a valid position. It's vile and worthy of hatred.

Can't speak for the person you're responding to, but honestly no, not really? Like, of course it's a big deal that this stuff happens, but it's so common that every individual story just seems obvious. It should def be recorded when we find those instances if not just for proof, but I personally just don't care about seeing it my news. Especially when it seems pretty off topic for the technology sub.

I don't think I'd necessarily agree with that, but just to note, op is recommending the BSDs, not Linux.

Wooowww, nice work, that's gorgeous.

I think that's dumb and they all very obviously look like they're in their 20s 🤷‍♀️.

Hell yea! I've used PopOS for a couple years now and it's pretty fantastic. Being able to enable/disable it on the fly is super great, and you still have all the conveniences of a full DE.

I'm curious to know what arch-based distro you're talking about?

Afaik arch doesn't apply any theming to any of the DEs/WMs in the repos, just their defaults

Ah, makes sense! Thanks :). It looks great by the way!

I don't entirely understand Nix, but it seems super cool. Could you theoretically make a setup like this, share the magic Nix config file, and someone could reproduce your exact setup on a different machine? Or am I misunderstanding how it works?

But pirates aren't taking anything

I don't, but I definitely don't think it would be wrong to. IP is an illegitimate idea, and has just as much legitimacy imo as a stranger telling me I'm obligated to pay them to breathe near them. I pay for some games as a donation, not a purchase.
