  • China is already socialist. At least they claim to be.

  • Socialism is internationalist. The world needs you to get some education.

  • No. Debian updates tend to be interruption free. Apt/dpkg is a lot more consistent than RPM and deals very nicely with dependencies in both directions.

  • Snaps are a pest and Ubuntu is more or less a failed experiment. I had way less trouble installing and maintaining a couple of plain vanilla Debian hosts than Ubuntu machines for years. The killer argument for Ubuntu was easiness of installation. Nowadays a standard Debian install is a matter of a few clicks. Sure a custom install like encrypted LVM over several partitions is still a demanding task even for an ecperienced user - but at least it is possible.

  • The bleeding edge distro is called "unstable", not "Arch". /s

  • Because he set the general, evil directions for MS. Like keeping users uninformed and locked in, smearing the competition, sabotaging open standards, taking your control over your hardware and data away from users, etc. All happened during evil Bill's reign.

  • I'm running Linux everywhere incuding the machine I am writing on right now. I have one single dual boot machine with Windows 10 as the mainly used OS for the simple reason that I need to run one specific software (and some of the "ecosystem" around it) that is not available for Linux. The only alternative is Apple which is even worse in my opinion. So I think I'll be forced to update. All the rest of my daily computing stuff has been moved to Linux for a long time.

  • I might be more column B, I gzess.

  • Welcome to cold war. Now the bad news: you have been asleep for at least 25 years.

  • mshta

    I have no idea how somebody might come up with this braindead, unintuitive and irreproducable mnemonic for a JavaScript interpreter but it sounds very much like something Microsoft would do.

  • Followed by a short period of separation of content and layout that was ended by returning to the stone age of client-specific Javascript. Another example of "why we can't have good things".

  • Obviously TV stars are the right people to ask about city planning. Because city planners and architects have given up the concept of automotive cities as recently as 1970 and nobody has been giving a fuck since then. On of the fathers of the original idea, Le Corbusier, declared the automotive city as failed because of the sheer number of cars . The automobile revolution had, in his opinion turned into an automobile explosion and no reasonable concept could handle the volume of traffic that were far beyond the estimations the original idea was based on. Nevertheless reasonable political reactions on the total failure of dealing with permanently increasing inner city infvidual traffic are still an exception. Because Hans Wurst and Joe Moron must have their car an arm's length away from their sofas or they'll either die from exhaustion walking to the convenience store or from acute lack of beer and potato chips...

  • Select circle -> save selection as path. There's your vector. I'd, however, use some vector app for vector graphics, independent of the OS I'm using.

  • Nonono, you got it all wrong. Photoshop is the one and only graphics tool, just as Word is the tool for anything text. Like layout - and wherever Word fails layouting you use Photoshop for the job. It has even more different fonts and u can use them all in one document!! Every single letter a different color and a different filter. Everything else is just not proffesional. Hahah. lolrotfl. Can your Gump do that? Thought so!

  • "The most useless creature on earth, directly followed by the second most useless, the journalist" one of my chemistry profs (a highly respected authority within the chemical community) used to say about politicians. A slightly extreme opinion, IMO, but he predicted several upcoming "scandals" caused by the press' and politicians' complete ignorance of chemistry and inability to think scientifically. His predictions turned out to be 100% right.

  • One thing authoritarian systems have in common is a permanent atmosphere of fear. Honesty is highly unwanted there, integrity will get you straight into trouble. Fascist systems are built on hypocrisy and fear.

  • I didn't even wait that long. The site has been going noticably shitward for a long time. Powertripping mods with absolutely no sense of sarcasm or (gasp) humor, complete asshole userbase, comments and posts getting more and more idiotic. I still have an account but I don't feel any need to go there anymore. Reddit was a certain day-spoiler, retrospectively.

  • In Soviet America the crackpots will hospitalize you.

  • We're calling the "Gulf of America" Twitter? Who is "we" and where the fuck is the "Gulf of America"?
