  • I once found a canal with name roughly translating to murder canal. Back in the days when that area was not populated, killers used to drop dead bodies there to make those disappear. An unidentified (afaik) body was found a few years ago too.

  • Yes. And that in itself can both be helpful and harmful. I've seen people to whom that was like a therapy. Also as those already 'give' something to focus on, so you do not use logical judgment to find where to focus to. This lead to unwise decisions.

    But you know what is at least as therapeutic as this but more reliable? Therapy.

  • There are few system manager (single project or a mix of components) that use linux features efficiently and none have dev resource remotely comparable to systemd. That's why in practice systemd is the best system layer implementation on gnu/linux. Android and chromeos userland (upstart derived) are not exactly (freedesktop) gnu/linux.

    EDIT: the post ask which OS though. Including userland I like android a lot, but I would say illumos distros (OI currently). illumos has a system management similar to systemd (contracts in place of cgroups for example). Actually systemd was heavily inspired by SMF too.

  • IMO the only reason tech world can be authoritarian is people's negligence. Otherwise even if all major brands produce unhackable locked down hardware, people could boycott those and buy the one obscure open device (like pine64) and market force will force big names to revert.

    Corporations do not have power by themselves. People refusing to think and understand gives them power. Same applies to mainstream politics.

  • Co-op is using capitalism to fight some harmful effect of capitalism itself. Many Conmunist movements believe there are better and stronger alternatives.

    This can be especially true for industries that are centralized by nature. You can't set up production ready silicon factory or power plant today to set up a co-op. The more practical alternative is to set up union to protect rights of workers.

  • It isn't communism, but sometimes making a co-op turns out to be more successful than forming union inside fragmented industry. A prominent example is amul from India. Instead of of forming union against highly capitalistic dairy industry, milk farmers and workers made a co-op that replaced those capitalist industries with market force.

    The point was though this initiative got direct support from the government not some agenda against it.
