  1. Just what the world needs, another sysd Linux on Lindows Resurrected! Freespire 3.0 and Linspire 7.0 Linux Distros Now Available (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    How many such distros are there now? Way over 1000 I'm sure.

    Devuan is the only distro that really interests me.

  2. Re:What exactly has Trump done to deserve a ban? on Why Twitter Hasn't Banned President Trump (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How many people on twitter have threatened to kill Trump? Should they all be banned?

    BTW: when has Trump ever threatened to kill anybody? Be specific.

    I hope you are trolling.

    The only KKK friendlies in the government have all been democrats. Robert Byrd was a klansman.

    The democrats and the KKK were one and the same until the KKK was effectively dismantled in the 1960s.

    Trump has never supported any racist group. And Trump was never considered racist before he ran for president.

    Why is it racist to defend our borders against illegal immigration? Mexico certainly defends their borders. Is Mexico racist?

  5. Becasue Gab.ai & people are sick of censorship on Why Twitter Hasn't Banned President Trump (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    People are getting tired of twitter's extremely biased censorship.

    Gab.ai is a real alternative. Trump has over 40 million followers. Twitter is already hurting.

    If Trump leaves, how many people will follow Trump over to Gab.ai?

  6. What about extreme left-wing hate and threats? on Ex-NSA Hacker Is Building an AI To Find Hate and Far-Right Symbols on Twitter and Facebook (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Twitter is absolutely flooded with death threats from Muslims.

    Load of "kill all cops" and "kill and white people" tweets.

    Hateful messages against whites is commonplace.

    That left-wing stuff all seems to be just fine with twitter.

    Even the most moderate conservatives get censored, suspended, or have the accounts pulled all the time.

  8. The Last Jedi sucked. It really sucked bad in every way. The entire mythos has been ruined. All the characters I cared about have been ruined. And the new feminist crapfest has not come up with anything compelling.

    I have watched every Star Wars, in theaters, since the first Star Wars in 1977. I doubt I will every watch another. I don't care what happens any more.

    > Superior to a standard junk diet. Not superior to a properly managed diet that includes meat, dairy, and eggs.

    Yes, superior to your so-called "properly managed diet that includes meat, dairy, and eggs" also.

    Meat, eggs and dairy all contain cholesterol, saturated fats, and triglycerides.

    Animal products provide nothing that you cannot get in a plant based diet.

    1) In developed nations, over-nutrition is a *far* greater problem than under nutrition. Obesity, heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, and other such maladies are far greater problems than anything caused by under nutriment.

    2) In developed nations, lack of fibre is far more common than lack of protein.

    3) Supplements cost a few pennies a day. Many meat eaters also suffer from various vitamin deficiencies.

    4) Numerous scientific studies prove that a properly managed vegan diet is, at least, adequate, if not superior.

    5) Some organizations that advocate a vegan diet include: American Diabetes Association, World Health Organization, American Dietetic Association, British Dietetic Association, and the American Heart Association. Dr. Kim Williams, president of the American College of Cardiology and chief of cardiology at Rush University, advocates a plant-based diet for heart disease prevention.

    6) Several world-class athletes are vegans.

  14. Yes, people from all over the world are trying the hack the US all the time. What else is new?

    The issue is whether, or not, Trump was personally involved in an illegal conspiracy to rig the election.

    And that issue, the real issue, is not even addressed.

    > Donald Trump Jr. met with a representative of the Russian government to discuss the Russians helping with the election in exchange for dropping Russian sanctions

    Please stop lying.

    Trump Jr. was trying to get opposition research. Something that is entirely legal.

    As a private citizen, Trump Jr. is allowed to speak to anybody he wants. It's called freedom of speech.

    The person Trump Jr. spoke to was not a representative of the Russian government. She was a GPS Fusion plant.

  17. BSD has it's own problems.

    Also, I think FreeBSD could be killed by systemd.

    FreeBSD - especially on the desktop - depends on Linux applications. When those Linux applications start depending on systemd, I am not sure what FreeBSD users can do.

    If Red Hat systemd works better than other systemd implementations; that might prove what some sysd critics have been saying all along: systemd is scheme that redhat is using to monopolize Linux.

  19. Why no non-systemd competitor to Redhat? on Does Systemd Make Linux Complex, Error-Prone, and Unstable? (ungleich.ch) · · Score: 2

    I mean a sizeable company that has it's own Linux distro, and makes money supporting that distro.

    Red Hat seems to be the enterprise Linux company.

    I suppose IBM, and Oracle, somewhat support Linux. But for those companies, Linux is just a sideline.

    I bet if there were a company like Red Hat, that had a non-systemd alternative, the Red Hat competitor would win.

    The idea of having a verified status is to prove that you are you.

    It is supposed to discourage fake accounts. It supposed to stop people from pretending to be public figures.
