  • No, they aren't. Not everyone wants the hassle of owning and maintaining a property, or going a few hundred grand in debt to buy a non-liquid asset.

    Apartments and rental units do serve a purpose.

  • You can compare anything with a simile if you abstract it far enough. It doesn't make it an accurate statement, though. I'm sure you could find similarities between Bambi and Hitler, but that doesn't mean the two are interchangeable.

    Stockholm Syndrome and cultural indoctrination are two different things. Stockholm Syndrome is a defense mechanism.

  • Buddy, a very large part of my job is locking down Linux as much as possible while still allowing it to do it's job. I can confidently say that not locking things down was a decision that was made, not a restraint of the system they used.

    I'm not saying that they didn't lock it down to allow piracy, which is actually a really dumb take. They probably did it to allow moding and allow it to be used as a desktop.

  • Right, so you don't know what you're talking about and shouldn't speak authoritatively on the subject.

    I drive a car every day, but that doesn't mean I can speak authoritatively on how its transmission works.

    But, I am a senior SecOps engineer (like a systems engineer but also a cyber security expert) working mostly with Linux, and I can authoritatively say that you're mistaken about Valve's ability to block piracy in Linux.

  • It's really just whose discovery spread the fastest. There have been a few instances in history where parallel discoveries happened, but it got named after the guy who got it popularized fastest.

    Plus, the records of the civilization that discovered it were lost for a few millenia. But it's not the first thing that's been rediscovered a few times.

  • Eh, it doesn't need to be installed by the military, but it definitely needs to be a public works project.

    And if the telecoms push back, it's time to start an audit on where that tax money went.

    But yeah, AT&T's fiber trunk line runs 50ft from my mom's front door, but they wont even put a dsl relay out there (it's been 2 years away for the past 20 years)
