Red Hat 4, father say me down on one of his Frankenstein computers built out of his trash heap in our basement and told me to have fun. I found tux racing konquest and played the shit out of them

He actually is in the case that the initial arms shipment was sent, Israel was attacked by Hamas and he had to respond by sending aid. He has gone on record stating that the current war crimes Israel has been committing raise question of the legality of providing further support.

Obviously still remains to be seen if anything will actually come of that though. Words are cheap.

Still has a lot of the same underlying issues discord has. It's not indexable being the biggest. The reality is that services like stack overflow or an issue tracker like bugzilla, or your local git services issues section or discussion section, hell even something like discourse or even mailing lists, just work better. If someone made an im service that could be indexed by search engines and the like, now we'd be talking. Opensorce design and discussion doesn't really benefit that much from closed ecosystems and end to end encryption in most cases.

I guess though at least with matrix someone could make a service that acts as a client and indexes content from a list of channels or something...

Discord, matrix, slack and telegram are where documentation goes to die in the current state of things though.

There's probably a correlation between people who think that immigration in a country that was literally founded by immigrants and forcefully taken away from the real natives; and people who lack any real empathy for others.

The bulk of us don't take crazy pills, we're just gerrymandered to high hell (I mean read the signs, we literally say it on our freeways...). All it really takes to see that is that whenever something goes to the polls that isn't tied to districts we tend to lean more towards personal freedom.

Because they sell the bulk of their products at a loss. They use their webservices platform to bankroll their retail platform so they can undersell even Walmart. Some years it does turn a slight profit but generally it's fairly negative but no matter what it doesn't offset the pure profit that is the web services division. https://ir.aboutamazon.com/quarterly-results/default.aspx

Christianity actually historically tends to lean towards abortion being acceptable historically as long as the father grants permission or the act was done by skydaddy. Skydaddy aborted a LOT of unborn babies in the old testament and of a woman was harmed in such a way that the baby she was carrying was lost the person who harmed her had to pay the farther reparations as the baby was his property.. This is a key note about how the old testament treats babies in general, as property, and only skydaddy could take that away involuntarily without repayment.

The new testament barely mentions babies.

I don't think you're monolithic at all honestly. The the fact is, hexbear isn't a hivemind, is a lot of different people. There's just a very vocal minority that makes your instance look bad.

Kubernetes uses cri-o nowadays. If you're using kubernetes with the intent of exposing your docker sockets to your workloads, that's just asking for all sorts of fun, hard to debug trouble. It's best to not tie yourself to your k8s clusters underlying implementation, you just get a lot more portability since most cloud providers won't even let you do that if you're managed.

If you want something more akin to how kubernetes does it, there's always nerdctl on top of the containerd interface. However nerdctl isn't really intended to be used as anything other than a debug tool for the containerd maintainers.

Not to mention podman can just launch kubernetes workloads locally a.la. docker compose now.

I dunno, a lot of gen z and millennials probably use them when fabricating parts for things that you can't get them for. I know I do for my printer.

It's actually kinda interesting. Companies that practice what is sometimes referred to as conscious capitalism actually tend to drastically outperform their traditional infinite growth peers. Turns out when wealth is all accumulated in the pockets of a rounding error of the world's population the economy begins to slow down. A lot.

It's still not likely as good as something like a co-op but some corporations actually understand that customers, owners, investors AND employees are all stakeholders in their business. When the company's earnings directly impact how much an employee can make they tend to be more driven to try their best to improve how much the company makes. Likewise happy employees often (unsurprisingly) have a tendency to simply try harder at what they do. When they aren't constantly worried about being able to pay their bills, they tend to be happier. The whole thing just kind of turns into a giant feedback loop of growth.

Only thing is that a lot of conscious capitalists will in the same breath as stating all of this say that socialism is bad which amuses me, because what they suggest does certainly start to sound a lot like it.
