    Well buddy it’s a bit more than that. Personally, I’m not holding it against the guy maybe he’s changed so I’m not gonna freak every time I see him but pretending that’s it is wild.

    The man in anger called some guy the n-word. No joke to it. Straight up, I’m angry so I’ll call this guy a racial slur. This, along with the constant (and it was constant) skirting with racism and Hitler which were framed as jokes made it clear that it wasn’t just a bunch of jokes. Wearing a military uniform that was as close to the Nazis as possible, constant talk of a final solution, jokes about ‘them’, German speaches, zieg heils, dog whistles, and alot more were commonplace in his videos at the time.

    You don’t just randomly shout the n word in anger for the first time on live stream.

    The guy was obviously going down the pipeline and people still don’t like him because of that. Not one joke but a constant stream of them along with a very telling instance


  • Yoo that’s wild man doing gods (Richard Stallman) work here man.

    Great initiative nonetheless. Compared to 8 this much more secure and for programming it’s a great choice too. Bringing more life out of some old PCs, saving a school money, and forcing some kids to get creative in order to play Roblox.

    As for is it ready fr this application, programming, it has been for a while. For general, especially web based, applications it absolutely is. Of course, there are quite few things were it’s just not but for the most part Linux is a great choice.

    Hamachi is easier to get others to use I’ve found. When we just want to game getting somebody to install a different application can cause frustration, anger, and a quoting mentality. Some people are just stuck in their ways.

    Doesn’t matter how easy it’s to do, how you’ll guide them through each step, some people are just stuck in their ways and many people are atleast familiar with hamachi

    System76 is also a good option especially if you’re american. They have a broader option set too

    On power management though I’m umsure if you’ll get the results you want. It’s hell on windows, hell on Linux, and only within the past few years improved on Mac.

    You may find better suspend on a laptop made for Linux though but I don’t want to get your hopes up too greatly.

    Other options for good laptops though are starlabs and tuxedo computers. On tuxedo make sure you get the right language and layout for your country

    On framework I can personally vouch for them. I have had great experiences with the 13 and there’s a dedicated community happy to help on their forum. Friendly people.

    As for slimbook friends of mine who have them have had good experiances too






  • But they are now, they exist currently. The fuck are you talking about. If we became an ancap society they wouldn’t magically disapear. What, you think that any ancap would ask for these companies to disolve before they’re society started? To go back to square one? Nah, that’s not what the guy pictured or any popular ancap has suggested. That’s not randian, that’s some fantasy. Rands suggested solution necesitates the lalrger corporations gaining control. To be allowed to freely operate. Name me one ancap thought leader who suggests a mass reset and that in no world a large corp could form.

    Also, even if ancap sociaty started from scratch eventually a company would gain power over an industry. With nothing to stop them, the biggest companies would inevitably grow bigger. That’s capitalism, the need to grow is constant and one cannot stagnate. Not neccessarally a bad thing but with no guide rails it logically means monopoly. No, a lack of copyright law wouldn’t stop any company from growing to a size where they could kill competition.

    When there’s a new industry too, they’ll be the ones to pioneer it. What, do you think Microsoft came fully formed from bill gates forehead? No, the current companies at the time would have taken gates designs and copies them. They, with their distribution networks, would easily outcompete. What if bill made a better product? Well, no copyright, it’s now theirs.


  • Nah, that just means they can take whatever they want from others too. Now they own all the smaller projects as well, and any changes they make to linux don’t have to be shared. Linux is now winix, and they’ve paid the computer companies to nolonger allow linux to be installed at all via hardware. What, that’s anti-competative? Yeah, who’s gonna stop them? You? You don’t have the resources.

    What, could you make a windows clone? Could you then out-compete the multi-billion dollar company in the market? What PC would allow you to install your windows clone? Also, Microsoft now owns the land you live on. You must leave, they are the owners of that land and thus make the rules. Want to fight back? too bad, they own the private police force too. Policing is an industry, and currently the government has a monopoly over it. Without regulations they’re now a free org who takes the highest bid. You don’t have enough money to live while copying Microsoft Windows. Nobody does.

    What? Another company will use they’re resources to compete with windows? Why would they win? Microsoft has more resources, will buy more output, will pay more companies for exclusivity, and can have them put a system in to brick the PC if you try not using windows. Sure, they may be able to get a small industry set up, but none of what they make will inter-operate with windows and now this small fraction of PC users is isolated. Why would anyone switch?

    No, anarcho capitalism won’t stop Microsoft’s existence because of copyright. Copyright in many ways protects smaller orgs more, and with no other regulations stopping the big orgs from stomping out the small orgs it won’t matter. The only possible fight would be between the titans and when one titan wins, that’s no more helpful to the small people.




  • The issue is that this data can be used to fingerprint or de-anonomize users. Even if it’s just a big list of statistics, knowing how likely or unlikely a system change, setting change, version, etc. is can help greatly with a person looking to pin down users. They’ll know how likely a person with a specific pattern is the same person.

    I’m glad it’s not distributed. If it was, I’d slide it all the way back to 0. Good intentions from the collectors doesn’t stop bad intentions of consumers
