Tacit knowledge really is a problem in the Linux community, but also in the rest of society.

I once went through 8 or so rounds of picking busses…

What I am arguing is that capitalism and (classic) liberalism goes more hand in hand than capitalism and classic conservatism. Also, liberalism does not guarantee nor guarantee the lack of monopolies. Monopolies are the result of economics and the industry’s fixed and variable costs.

That being said, I do agree that monopolism is generally bad for society, as it reduces economic welfare (look it up) by generally reducing consumer surplus while increasing monopolist profit by a lower amount, thus creating a dead weight gap.

As a last point, somewhat unrelated, I think that it is an insult to the victims of fascism to call anything you don’t like fascism. I know you are not alone with the comparison, but I wish people would stop sorting people as either people they like or fascists. I think that people sometimes forget that the world isn’t inhabited entirely by saints and fascists.

I hope you have a great Sunday evening though :)

As a conservative (by Danish standards, in the US I would probably be centrist and probably vote for the Democrats) I would say that capitalism doesn’t work well for every case in a society. In the olden days, people would meet in the town square and use the village posters.

Those local communities has largely been replaced by the internet today, and whereas the old communities was run by itself with its people taking ownership and responsibility for it with the incentive to make the community as good as possible, today the communities are largely owned by companies with a profit drive. In these new communities the incentive for the owner (the company) is not to create the best possible community, but to extract the most money from it.

I would say that pure capitalism would be to the detriment to a society. Capitalism is more a product of liberalism (where I am not using the definition of liberalism that most Americans would, but the “correct” definition) than it is a product of conservatism.

I have a blu-ray drive that I use once or twice a year to rip a movie. 5 years or so ago I was the weirdo that has both a blu-ray and dvd drive in my computer, as I was ripping my entire movie library.

Speaking of things that are much less funny… Spquarespace!

Not judging (okay maybe a bit 😉), but how much clothing do you have in your wardrobe if that it necessary?

Of course it is. But admitting errors and avoiding to make them again is a pretty effective form of damage control, and it is the kind we should want from any company.

I am carefully optimistic about this. They addressed the problems and seem to take some time to fix them. I hope they will focus on quality over quantity as they promised.

Should I ask what it does before or after I use it? :)

I installed Ubuntu on a spare computer a few weeks ago just to rm -rf / it. It was quite fun seeing the os slowly killing itself :)

Is that a fancy word for prod?

You are not the bot we deserved, but the bot we needed. And the but that we missed most of all!

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

And to be fair, a large influx of data requests is probably considered a good reason.

Lol. Unfortunately that won’t be possible to do using reddit after 1st of july :(
