I think there is a difference between being exposed to evidence of the contrary and sitting on it for a while. I don't think you can change someone's mind in a conversation. Rarely so. But if the person is "forced" to think about the topic and the evidence, eventually they will change their mind.
I am not an anarchist and I won't make their case, but there is a difference between what is and what ought to be. What people have done is a statement about what is. Anarchy, like any other idealogy like it, is about what ought to be.
Honestly humans are stupid and it is so interesting what we learned to do for sometimes awful reasons that turned out to be pretty good for us. I mean a lot of medicine was "getting the devil out of you" for a long time and it sometimes happened to work because people would just do random shit.
To be fair, if you would own it, they would have a very different legal framework to be working in. Would they be legally allowed to shut down their servers? Or would they have to run the company until bankruptcy, so maybe decades after steam stopped being profitable? Their product is a service based on. They want the service to be able to be ended. If you buy the games like you do on steam and you own them, can they end it?
Like why I care about whether or not it is the one in the bible?
What are you trying to get at?
It seems a bit "fun fact that is kinda related to the post but not really at the same time". I mean obviously Israel is a Zionist state. It is literally the movement that made the state. How does it relate to apartheid? Now colonistic idealogy has a link to apartheid. But then again, Jews didn't had the best experience with colonism within Europe which is what Hilter did. So you could easily argue against the sentiment, while I personally won't argue either way as I don't believe that I know or understand enough.
In short, I might agree with you if I would understand what you want to tell us. But I don't, care to help me?
These cases should get an extra punishment. A petty extra. you destroyed public property out of petty feelings, petty extra, especially if there was alternative easier and less damaging way to satisfy the petty feelings.
I think people in this section of the comments are a bit unreasonable. Jobst made 2 videos about Open Hands Foundation and the reason to publish the first one doesn't have to be "drama". The second... Maybe... But then again, people like "updates" which is also the reason by billy Mitchell videos are coming and they are updates. In both cases, there is a strong relationship between the core theme video games and the "drama". Open Hands Foundation's event was about showcasing games and Billy is the best video gamer of all time. God bless billy.
So I don't think Jobst videos are so... Offtopic. Especially as he talked about Speedrun drama before.
I think the same and understandable. But I was serious. I wanna know how many Doms and subs we have in the Linux community in comparison to the general population.
There was this tool that would show you how popular a subreddit is in another subreddit based on the general popularity of the sub on Reddit. And there the Taylor swift sub was very popular (like 13 times as popular as "normal") in the Linux subreddit. So I hope you get what I mean. Seemingly there are certain tendencies in the Linux community.
My comment was directed to the blog post and the claims contained in it.
The blog post claims it is popular in academy, if that is a deserved label, then I don't understand how the author of the post lands on "there is no good or bad way, they are all valid". I am in favor of strong juxtaposition but that is not the case that I am making here. Sorry for the confusion.
"If you are a student at university, a scientist, engineer, or mathematician you should really try to ask the original author what they meant because strong juxtaposition is pretty common in academic circles, especially if variables are involved like in $a/bc$ instead of numbers."
I feel like if a blog post presents 2 options and labels one as the "scientific" one... And it is a deserved Label. Then there is probably a easy case to be made that we should teach children how to understand scientific papers and solve the equation in it themselves.
Honestly I feel like it reads better too but that is just me
