I've been using Linux (also Arch, several years, happily!) since 1996 and for a long time I've wondered why every software I run gets access to every file I have.

Flatpak is one way to fix that.

is available as a package or in the AUR

Oh okay, I see. You don't perhaps care about programs reading the files of other programs. Well, that's fine, everybody has their own threat models.

Perhaps the message is changing now, after they have kind of caught up finally. How long did it take, 20 years?

Really nice thing for us green dragon enthusiasts though.

I mostly disagree with that. Cocooning up into a terminally online person makes one's life worse, not better.

Straight up abusive parents are another thing of course. But even then those kids need sheltering, not the internet.

Yeah.... it seems to me that one of the problems is actually that we kinda threw organized religion into the trash bin and replaced it with .... nothing. So is it weird that people fill that void with also total garbage?

Perhaps there was a reason why only socities with strong organized religions survived to this point?

Because the kids are digesting the content at home?

Capitalism is an inadequate reason for all this, because we had decades of capitalism without this level of shit and toxicity.

Yep, that's why the only way to be a good parent nowadays is to not give your kids smart phones or computers of their own. There was a time when it was kinda ok for them to have those devices, but that time is permanently in the past.

Does anyone know where the Wuhan Virology institute actually is? https://preview.redd.it/mie3e4ld3ee41.png?width=1320&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b71b94a05ee7832e7550595fc793b7486704ba8

It seems surprisingly mobile.

Sure, cooperation is clearly an evolutionary trait also, and seems like a much more useful one than greed. It seems that socities need a bit of both to thrive, or do you have examples of known societies that worked primarily on co-operation, even for the leaders?

Are you sure it wasn’t “putain de cOnnard” (I.e. f*cking *sshole) though?

Of course I'm not sure. I've studied french for 6 years, practiced it alone for a few years, and real french pronunciation confuses the hell out of me.

It doesn't reward greed, it rewards putting your resources into profitable endeavors. This is something you need to do in 100% communism as well.

Why are we selfish? Some sort of a mistake of evolution perhaps.

Joo, onhan se. Toisaalta AY-liikkeet voisivat helposti laskea jäsenmaksua veron verran, jolloin vähätuloisilla ei ole mitään ongelmia.

Itse sanoisin, että vihdoinkin. Tätä on yrittänyt monet eri tahot sekä vasemmalta ja oikealta. Toivottavasti vihdoin nyt onnistuisi.

I heard an authentic "putain de canard" from a parisian lady who was ascending from the metro and there was a bunch of pigeons on the stairs. Which when translated to my native finnish was "vitun ankat" (fucking ducks), which I thought at the time as being the funniest shit I've heard in french.

Lactose intolerant people can drink black coffee, non?

If they don't have oat milk, what should've they said?

e-OS is said to have the worst security of pretty much all Android distributions. Dunno if this is a fact, but apparently the upgrade schedules are not great.
