Isn't SteamOS based on Debian, not Arch?

EDIT: nvm, it used to be Debian, but the newer versions for steamdeck are based on Arch.

I clicked into the article wondering how they measured intelligence, and they polled people from Mensa. What a fucking joke.

True, but another commonly cited exception is that it's illegal to yell fire in a crowded theater where there is no fire. My assumption is the rationale being, if your speech is likely to present a danger to people it shouldn't be legal.

But you're correct, America is pretty tolerant of hate speech, and it does lead to some pretty negative consequences imo.

Probably a better comparison would be countries like Canada or Germany.

EDIT:

I do applaud you for taking the time to research it rather than getting caught up in the sensationalism of a Twitter post like so many others replying to me.

The bill covers both hate speech and hate crimes. Which aspects of the bill do you take issue with? I personally don't think it should be legal to incite violence against people of a protected class. I didn't realize that was such a hot take.

Sounds not unlike America. We've had hate crime laws since 1968, I don't know why everyone's acting like it's the end of the world.

Watch yourself, don't want to fall down that slippery slope.

Slippery slope fallacy. Hate crime laws have been on the books in America since 1968 and I'm not aware of them leading to the end of free speech in America.

Does the bill need some amendments to clear up some ambiguity? Maybe, idk, I'm not Irish nor am I a legal expert; I know virtually nothing about the Irish legal system.

But based on the BBC article, it sounds like the intention of the bill is to get some hate crime laws on the books for Ireland, which they apparently have none so far.

I am very much in favor of punishing hate crimes/hate speech. Free Speech absolutism is braindead, and those who preach it are often hypocrites. Take Musk for example, self proclaimed free speech absolutist. Sure he allows people to hurl a variety of slurs on his platform but then goes and bans a bunch of left-wing accounts. Advocating for white supremacy is covered by free speech but advocating for socialism is not? That really ought to make you question if free speech is really Musk's goal.

You can self host gitea and begin mirroring the Lemmy repos yourself right now.

It doesn't hurt to look around and confirm your assumptions. Nothing lost by having a conversation with a recruiter or a couple interviews.

You didn't write the kernel, write the libraries, or write the user space applications, did you? No, Linux is the product of a collaborative group of strangers working towards the same goal, a goal that largely doesn't include any considerations for profit. You haven't pulled yourself up by your boot straps to make Linux. Hell, even Linus didn't do that. It's the product of thousands of people working on it over decades. It's not capitalist, it's not individualistic, Linux is communal.

Lots of valid suggestions already here. But I'll throw one more to the pile. You could use the Pushbullet free plan (100 notifications per month). And then either use a python library or Google for a bash script to help with getting the notifications out. Then have Pushbullet installed on your phone.

Sample size of 1 is not very conclusive.

Scripting languages are a subset of programming languages though.

We can go leaner. Why use a compiler when an assembler is all you need?

I certainly didn't mean to make any moral judgments about the kid. I'm not even sure that I think it's morally wrong (unwise and legally wrong, no doubt, I just don't think his actions hurt any person and I don't care if an action hurts a corporation). The kid is clearly talented and I hope he gets the treatment he needs. I sure hope he can eventually make a living with his talents and perhaps eventually use his talents towards positive change.

I used to work as a pentester. It's an open secret that like a good chunk of people in the industry are former criminals. But former is kind of the keyword. Not only is he doing crime after being arrested and still under surveillance, but he can't even lie and say he won't do it again. The kid is unhireable, at least not until he can get his compulsions under control.

Well put, no disagreements here.

I don't know, lots of people deal with mental illness without being bigoted.

Read any of her nfos, almost certain the Hogwarts one is filled with a bunch of slurs. Also the few before and after that release. Frankly, she's probably got some mental issues, reads kind of schizo. Not an excuse but yeah...
