  • That's also why some people believe in snake oil. People get desperate to try something after a few days of illness and then suddenly feel better after doing the thing. They would have gotten better without it, but the timing makes it seem like the thing cured them. It's why we use double blind studies instead of anecdotes like this.

  • Unix is the single user version of Multics, an operating system for that could handle multiple users simultaneously. The multi user stuff didn't actually work great, but the other tech it had was great, so they made a single user version. The name was made to sound like it was Multics without the "Multi".

    Unix became a proprietary, paid operating system. Linus Torvalds took a Unix course at university and became interested in operating systems. He didn't like that rules prevented him from actually modifying the Unix system even if he knew how. So he made his own free and open source version of the Unix operating system and named it after himself, because of his "big ego" as he puts it.

    Now this is where I have to interject for a moment because, actually, Linus only wrote the kernel of the operating system. He didn't write any of the common programs and tools. For that he used GNU software, which are all free and open source themselves.

  • Please DO NOT announce to the server when you are going to masturbate. This has been a reoccurring issue, and I’m not sure why some people have such under developed social skills that they think that a server full of mostly male strangers would need to know that. No one is going to be impressed and give you a high five (especially considering where that hand has been). I don’t want to add this to the rules, since it would be embarrassing for new users to see that we have a problem with this, but it is going to be enforced as a rule from now on.

    If it occurs, you will be warned, then additional occurrences will be dealt with at the discretion of modstaff. Thanks.

  • Don't misunderestimate Dubya. Irregardless of his policies, he coined words and phrases like Shakespeare. How many of use of dreamed of human beings and fish coexisting peacefully? How many of us strive to put food on our families and buy most of our imports from overseas? Don't we all want to know "is our children learning?" And who can forget that famous Texas proverb "fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

  • YanDev is a literal pedophile. It's honestly mind boggling people care more about a guy who won't sign a petition on preserving video games than pedophiles and bigots. I don't get the hate.

  • I get it. I also get that the reason this is an issue is because he lost a seat he held for 20 years and needs help from others to keep his job and house. He talks about personal responsibility and then asks for handouts when he loses. He talks about government elites and then uses his political status to get special treatment. It is an example of his hypocrisy.

  • atro_city said it well:

    If the SKG movement doesn't organise, that's all we'll get: a communiqué to shut the hell up.

    Over a million Europeans have signed a petition in less than a month. Why only Europeans? Big ecelebs like PewDiePie and Critikal have made videos on this. It's got a lot of people interested. Why not get everyone in on something more direct? Something international? Why does the world need to sit and wait and hope the EU parliament fixes everything? It seems like a waste of momentum. It needs to be more than just a European petition. A call to boycott the worst companies until they change their EULA and TOS would be a great start.
