Yet, here we are. With a bunch of personal attacks, again. And still, you don't address the fact that your ideology is that people should go hungry because they don't work the same way that you do. Am I the one being disrespectful and blinded by ideology? Am I the one disconnected from the working class? Again, where are you getting all of these weird hang ups about me? You don't know me, my ideology, my education, my background or my work. I think you are just projecting like a mad man. “There's no free lunch” means that you are OK with people going hungry and children starving. Just accept your worldview is violent and destructive. Check yourself, because all you are assuming about me isn't true.
You bought the class warfare bait, hook, line and sinker. You'll rather fight with me, someone who probably has 90% of the same ideological values as you. Instead of fighting with the corporate oligarchs that taught you that some people don't deserve to eat.
The deck can barely make 4k 60hz and it struggles and stutters with games at that level. The official SteamOS won't let you go to 4k 120hz, why would bazzite be different? It's the hardware that's limited, not the software.
I want the same as you, except, I don't think that people should suffer because they don't conform to my concept of moral value. And thus I act with that intention. How about we work towards a kinder world to exist instead of wishing harm upon others just because they are different.
Also, stop fucking projecting your violence into me. You have like 6 different wrong assumptions about my character, values and arguments (straw men are pretty, but ultimately useless) that I have never expressed anywhere. You really need to stop spreading your selfhate towards others.
Very interesting. If only there were more recent scientific studies that weren't the fever dreams of a psychotic pseudoscientific anti-evolution tankie from the soviet era.
Oh, would you look at this. There is science after the soviet union, after all. It's almost like time has passed and we have more complex and nuance understanding of the world since the fucking 50's.
Overall, evidence consistently demonstrates that unconditional cash in low- and middle-income countries leads to a measurable decrease in poverty.
There is good evidence to demonstrate that an injection of cash increases household expenditures. Results are positive for food expenditure in all country contexts. and the purchase and ownership of assets such as livestock in low-and middle-income countries.
The evidence from diverse interventions in low-, middle-, and high-income contexts indicates minimal impact on aggregate measures of labor market participation, with some studies reporting an increase in work participation. When reductions do occur, time is channeled into other valued activities such as caregiving.
When people can eat, they can work. Wow!
Clear and significant impacts are well-documented for educational outcomes that would be expected in the short term, such as school enrollment and attendance.
There is consistent evidence across contexts for improvements to health status and to the myriad behavioral and social factors that are
linked to leading causes of premature ill-health, disability, and death.
It's almost like people who don't have to scramble for survival can actually become better persons and be an overall positive force in society. Weird what this science stuff has to say when we drop the ideological blinds.
Anyways, Lysenko makes for a pretty straw man. But it has no bearing on this discussion.
Incest was rare, even among the historical pre-Westeros Targaryens. Definitely also rare in Valyria. There were a shit ton of noble houses that ruled Valyria, and this ensured a complex web of political scheming, while also diluting the incest problem. Now, another thing that also caught my attention when reading Fire and Blood is that Targaryens are, health wise, flimsy as fuck. They die like flies of things others would survive. They are also prone to neurodivergency and many were labeled as weak of disposition and often not very athletic. It is what makes the odd tale of a Targaryen with strength and prowess for combat actually stand out. So in many more ways than just facial structure, incest seems to be affecting them somehow.
For a decade tech has fucked sub's accessibility. The landscape is a complete mess, simultaneously stuck with tech that is too old and also suffering from awful implementation of new tech (LLMs suck at closed captioning but everyone insist it is the only way to do it now). Yet context reading to know who needs subs when is still so archaic and depends completely on user input. But then, the content is always innadecuate, specially when it's for the hearing impaired.
Maybe, have you considered? that access to food is already decoupled from work because of ideological factors? Perhaps the idea that it is OK for people to go hungry if they're not working is in itself an ideological posture. Just speed balling ideas here, maybe if people weren't hungry, perhaps they will have the strength and will to work harder and more efficiently. I don't know, it just came to me, I'm sure nobody has done any serious writing about it. We should go to the internet together and see if any of those scientists have ever done any study on that. Wild idea, maybe when people have their basic needs met they are more likely to be productive members of society. I'm sure that's not revolutionary or anything and just common sense. Or not, I'm not a social scientist, I mean, I am, but maybe there's something we are missing here.
Ah, I see. It's just that to me that's a settled discussion and it seems to have been for a few decades now. Free software has to be open source to be free. But not all open source software is free software. That we agree on. It seems we just have different interpretations of the history. If you bother to read the free software manifesto, stallman actually uses the term open source and it also defines that free software must be open to allow three of the four fundamental freedoms to exist. Your objections seem to be political rather than philosophical. E.g. who gets to decide or control what projects are defined as what.
I see what you are saying, and I understand what you are referring to.
It was stallman himself who, after working in GNU for years, went on the invent the concept of free and open software. I'm not doing any mash up. I'm referring to the 4 fundamental freedoms of free software as associated together by stallman himself and protected by the free software foundation.
If you could provide sources it would be useful as the history of these concepts is pretty much a living history. Since the people who coined them are still alive and still write copiously about the philosophical implications of the movement.
I have to say honestly I can't find anything that supports your comment. Perhaps only tangentially, if one assumes that some so far unarticulated and shadowy movement of Open source promotes only source available software.
Are you referring to Bruce Perens definition of open source that is used by the open source initiative? Because they are not antagonists of the free software foundation. While it's true that it also extends to proprietary but source available software, this has been considered widely a positive rather than negative. Although different points of view exist in the analysis of how the four fundamental freedoms interact.
It's not racism to point out that a flight from the east coast of the US to the west coast is the exact same as a flight from Lisbon to Oslo. Physics don't bend according to flags. I'm just pointing out that this idea is the product of US exceptionalism and the arbitrariness of the human conceptualization of what a country is. France is as large as California. But being in the US doesnt mean California is magically larger. You're just deciding to compare different political and demographically distinct concepts.
Again, I'm not comparing people, I'm comparing transportation infrastructure. Of course people choose to fly or to drive on Europe according to distances. Just like in the US. It's you who are xenophobically insisting on portraying the US as special, when it is not.
Yeah, But the US is a federation of States. It's not that deep to understand. A member of the EU can move freely from country to country just like people can do the same from state to state in the US. The difference is that you can cross France and reach Barcelona from Paris in the same time it takes to drive the distance of Los Angeles to Las Vegas, roughly 6 hours by train. Except Paris and Barcelona (1000 miles) are 3 times further apart than those two US cities (300mi). Infrastructure has a great impact in perception of space and distances. The US is not that big, but it can seem to be when the most common transportation method is the least efficient. Each state is about the same average size as most countries in the world. It's just that their transportation infrastructure (including highways) suck ass.
Even driving the highways let you do the distance in 10 hours. Twice the time but three times the distance.
Even then, being a small country doesn't stop the French from knowing that Africa is not a single country.
"Texas is larger than France" means nothing. My country is larger than Texas, and one of my states is larger than Switzerland but also larger than North Carolina. That's a non argument, that's just physics. Again, size is not some exceptional property of the US.
Love the attitude, but the concepts are a bit wonky.
There's Free as in freedom (usually referred to with the Latin word “libre”), and Free as in free beer. Open source is just the ability to read and contribute to the source code. Not all open source is free, but libre (freedom) software has to be open source.
That's why it is usually referred as FLOSS, Free and Libre Open Source Software.
There's a myriad of licenses, not just GPL, and GPL is not the only FLOSS license.
There are source available software projects, that do not adhere to liberty principles. There's also free software (as in free beer), that is not open source or even source available.
Blender is open source and also free software, and also libre software. Because Blender is FLOSS. This, however, does not prevent some specific forms of enshittyfication. It's just that forking the base source code is always a possibility.
Edit: Ok, forget the love attitude part. You just called two men who have a disability and are some of the corner stones of the free software movement “corporate lickspittle”. Wow, you have to be an ignorant piece of shit to call the man who conceived the ‘bazaar’ thesis that defines FLOSS a lickspittle, an utter idiot to call a man who hates proprietary software a corporate lickspittle. Bruce Perens and Eric Raymond may not be saints, no person is perfect. But you are just dismissing and insulting people who are the reason you can exist with a modicum of freedom on the internet space.
People act like they are at gunpoint. It's perfectly fine to go “Hi, I'm Dusty, nice to meet you.” And leave it at that, no matter how much the extroverts before you ranted on about themselves. In my experience 99% of the time people feel just as apprehensive as you and don't really care. Now, if the entire point of the meeting is to introduce a team, please, just fucking cooperate. I've worked with too many people who refuse to participate on the meetings, and they make workflows so unnecessarily obstructive. I want to finish my task and go home as well, just pay attention to the communication tools, I don't care how much of a mystery you like to portray yourself as. Specially if our work depends on each other's coordination.
This is so wrong in so many ways that if you told me it was a The Onion article with a made up map, I would believe you. Nothing makes sense. The lines don't go anywhere, all the colors are mismatched. The position, but also the size and the shapes are all wrong. I would bet all the data is also made up and have nothing to do with reality.
Americans frequently overestimate how large their own country is. The US is about as large as all of the European union. But the US fits inside Africa nearly 4 times. Australia is roughly the same size as the US. So is China. Rusia is about 1.5 times the size of the US. The US is not special in any way, quit the exceptionalism.
I'm not the one you asked the question to, just commenting on the general discussion. But let's play at that. Yes, I have murdered family members. Yes, I'm angry. But my anger won't stop me from living my life. It's very important to remember that there are things within our control, and things outside our control. The attitude we assume towards the hardships of life is one of the things under our control. We can't control how we feel, but we can decide to not let our tragedies dictate our lives. The emotions after tragedies and injustices can be fuel to lead us into meaningful actions. When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves. The fear people see on others who are consumed by their emotions is not from some need to take a moral high ground. It is fear that we will lose them as well, to grief and depressive spirals.
Yet, here we are. With a bunch of personal attacks, again. And still, you don't address the fact that your ideology is that people should go hungry because they don't work the same way that you do. Am I the one being disrespectful and blinded by ideology? Am I the one disconnected from the working class? Again, where are you getting all of these weird hang ups about me? You don't know me, my ideology, my education, my background or my work.

There's people working 60+ hours a week and also starving. Again, what is your point?
Yeah, those people doing the work to produce food are starving. What is your point?
Ah, I see. It's just that to me that's a settled discussion and it seems to have been for a few decades now. Free software has to be open source to be free. But not all open source software is free software. That we agree on. It seems we just have different interpretations of the history.
