I was watching some FreeBSD video yesterday and a guy talked about the history of it out nowhere I hear the sentence: "my husband's sister...". I 'd spill a drink if I had any. I turned it of and moved on. When I keep saying tech communities are degenerating, this goes way back to BSD days, 1970s, it seems.
Another great stream. I like that Devon brings up the forgotten heroes so we can remember them again.

@Based_Accelerationist actually, that might explain why europe and usa have opened their borders to the savages. as long as the population is growing, governments' power is limitless.
@Based_Accelerationist fair enough. the more people you have, the more life situations you have to tackle. hence why the laws are infinite. and why the society is being moulded to suit the herd which results in bad living conditions for the outliers that are above average in intelligence, self-sufficiency and self-reliancy. so you are essentially guaranteed to end up with dumb and dependent society as long as the society is growing. so we're back the the good old wars, famine, natural disasters
In the past, and in some places even today, there was the council of elders. couple of people, a dozen, maybe sometimes a little bit more. no more than could fill a one room apartment. democracy worked just fine in those conditions. look at the parliaments today, where you have HUNDREDS of people and dozens of political parties. that's just incompatible with the philosophy because there are too many interests involved, too many egos, too much strategising and too little responsibility.
@Mr_Mister love it :D if i would have rumble account, i'd subscribe right away.
@RegalBeagle listen, i like the look of it. but that is just the UI. the UX, which actually matters, is terrible. you need to hack it around to make it look like usable DE and even then you probably won't make it all the way through. not to mention it's missing a lot of settings.
@RegalBeagle gnome is an abortion that somehow made it through the birth and now people pretend how great it is.
Another 2 weeks long heat wave begun yesterday with 33C projected for every single day. Most people quite underestimate the influence of weather on their wellbeing. Temperature, sunshine, or the lack of, air humidity..it adds up. I swore I won't spend another winter in here but it seems I have little choice because I won't be able to find rent as cheap as I have now. So if I go, there is no going back and will most likely pay 30%-50% more - for good. I have a plan though - week-long vacationS :)
@sardonicsmile quick death is the best thing anyone should wish for.
@Lorgar yeah..that's literally what "I guess he run out of clientele" means.
@Based_Accelerationist yeah, it's complicated. they have infested all aspects of higher politics everywhere.
Because you still have hope that this war will end with your honor intact. Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.
