If you can find someone who got obese on carrots that had been boiled for 6 hours then left to dry under a canteen heat lamp, then I'd support the ban.
So if they foist some universal health care package on me, which I didn't ask for, they can then dictate pretty much all aspects of my life?
Well that degnerated fast.
Yes they "foisted" some universal healthcare package on us which happens to get on average better outcomes than the US system for about half the cost per capita. Apparently the foisting works.
And as for "them" dictating aspects of your life? Firstly, this is TFL who are refusing to advertise harmful products, not the national government (the one doing the foisting). Secondly, refusing to accept advertising from some global megacorps is hardly dictating "pretty much all aspects of your life". You're still free to go to McDonalds as often as you like.
That is why socialized anything should NEVER come with the automatic assumption that they have the right to prevent.
I just find it hard to see things like spam filters as censorship. Maybe the difference is deciding what you want to see or publish, and forcing your preferences on others.
I agree: I was attempting to send up some of the other commenters here. The sort who feel censored if someone doesn't want them yelling right in their face.
What if I decide that EIEIO is insulting to farmers?
GNU Hurd has that as an actual error code. If one of the server processes (it's a microkernel) dies and so gives you an IO error on communication, you get the error EIEIO (Server bought the farm).
And everywhere I look, I see everything becoming dryer and dryer and dryer.
Yes.
But when I just entered, the net had a kind of charm that it has mostly lost.
It's sad, and I miss that aspect of it. I think it's a question of scale though. As you get more people, you get people who simply aren't part of the original culture, and who don't have the same outlook.
I think it happens to every community which grows. I've seen it happen ot the "hackspace" comminuties and I reckon some people though I was the asshole making things dry and boring since I didn't like people smashing up expensive tools.
I think it's ont just scale but time too. I think part of the early charm was inherently coupled with an optimisim for something brand new.
How about: No jokes and no political commentary in the documentation and source code, period?
It would suck the life out. Trust me the libjpeg "LICENSE" is worth a read for a laugh. It stars out like a license document then kind of morphs into an extended rant about file formats.
Yes: anytime anyone can delete anything it's censorship. We need a new verision control system that only allows stuff to be added.
It's just a judgement about suitability. I support RMS's decision.
I don't though mostly because I think it's a really poor management technique. It's not remotely fundamental to the direction of the project, so stepping in like this and asserthing authority over a very minor point is really micromanagement.
The joke made me chuckle. I'd probably have left it in.
You use terms like "feminazi" and "SJW", you might not be sitting in one camp completely but you have at least one and a half butt cheeks planted there firmly.
And why the hell are you harping on about "professional victims" anyway? That has nothing to do with this thread. This was all instigated by several of the lead devs of the project.
Petrol is very flammable. Ever seen a petrol car go up? It's an impressive sight.
Diesel isn't (much harder to get going) but it's incredibly slippery, which is why the authorities (fire brigade) have to come up and clean diesel spills really fast and thoroughy because coating roads in a good lubricant is also not safe.
(that Li-ON is even less stable than some of us may have realized)
Even less stable? Given it's a car, the point of comparison is petrol. I mean sure, they don't tend to re-ignite days after but that's only because once they ignite at all they go so fast there's nothing left to reignit ever.
Back to the battery though, LiPo are known to be fragile and I'm surprised as to how resilliant the Tesla battery packs have proven.
- Chromebooks are more secure. The proposal from Google involves sandboxing GNU/Linux applications so they're effectively as secure as the existing Webapp/NaCl/Android applications that Chromebooks currently support.
How do the applications communicate with one another?
Funny how you made up a bunch of opinions that I apparently hold.
Funny how you seem ok with killing everything that is good in someone's life (their freedom, access to their loved ones, etc.), yet seem concerned about when they technically die. Your "nah we can always change our mind after a lifetime thrown away" attitude is extremely disturbing.
It apprears that you are advocating irreversible decisions on the ground that reversing a bad decision is imprefect so it's better to never reverse it.
"Oops, sorry, we made a mistake. You are now 75, jobless, penniless, and entirely without friends or family in the world. You have no idea what happened in society in the last 40 years, but good luck out there. Don't let the door hit you on the way out."
Right so because we can be very crappy when bad decisions are reversed we ought instead just kill that innocent person because its easier?
How much does the near endless legal casework aronud deciding to use that bullet cost? Or are you adcovation for a more of an "eh he seems guilty, let's kill him" type approach?
Stop using the lie that capital punishment is inherently more expensive.
Well yes if you're prepared to murder people with little oversight then yes it is cheaper todo that. Back in the world where you at least maintain the pretense of a functio n justice system it gets expensive.
* It prevents the offender from hurting anyone again.
No, it prevents the convicted person from harming anyone again not the offender: the justice system has a pretty terrible record of executing people later found to have not been the actual offender.
War is bad no matter who it's with. People forget this. They see WWII and think "we stopped Hitler, yea!" and become warhawks.
War is bad but it's not necessarily worse than the alaternatives.
Never mind that Hitler came to power because of WWI, and WWI happened because of prior wars, and you can follow the chain all the way back to the Romans.
Those explain why it happened, they don't change the fact that it DID happen, and what mattered to the people fighting the other side was what was happening right at that moment.
I would. This makes Chrome laptops more appealing to me. When you want to run Linux on laptops you always have to be careful to select the right laptop which is compatible enough to make it worth buying.
I mean I get it, but you're solving it by finding a laptop which is supported out of the box by the manufacturer which is fine and all, but there are others already that do that. There's System76 for example. But also Dell and Lenovo offer Linux preinstalled on quite a few models. Lenovo even have a certification page for Linux laptops:
Unfortunately it will be the year of commands under someone else's crappy desktop.
The beauty of the Linux desktop is you can run whatever window manager you like. Don't like the latest offering from Ubuntu or GNOME? KDE, XFCE, LXDE, FVWM, Ratpoision or Xmonad and many others will all work perfectly depenging on your tastes.

Only the pickled onion one. I mean sure the flaming hot are nice and all but only after the picked onion are gone.

It doesn't.
I would strongly object to getting drowned, but that's off-topic.
No it's not. You're being faceitously pedantic about it.
None of which can be said about your own, customarily witless, ejaculation.
That's about the most ronudabout way of calling someone a wanker that I've ever heard.
I just find it hard to see things like spam filters as censorship. Maybe the difference is deciding what you want to see or publish, and forcing your preferences on others.

CO2 is not a pollutant.
And water isn't a poison, so clearly you won't mind being drowned.
I just wonder what it is like to go through life getting offended by every little thing
You must have a very short memory then. You seem to be angry a lot and get hilarously offended about the use of the term "AI" for example!

Wow did you just discover that list of mildly funny unix jokes from the 80s?
Is it really censorship though?
Yes: anytime anyone can delete anything it's censorship. We need a new verision control system that only allows stuff to be added.

I liked the WHINY_USERS environment variable which for gawk 3.x caused hashes to be iterated in sort order rather than random (i.e. hash) order.
I don't sit in any camp, to be honest.
You use terms like "feminazi" and "SJW", you might not be sitting in one camp completely but you have at least one and a half butt cheeks planted there firmly.
And why the hell are you harping on about "professional victims" anyway? That has nothing to do with this thread. This was all instigated by several of the lead devs of the project.
Removing this joke is stealing part of Stallman's pay for his work. And it's a piece of his pay that he values enough to raise a stink about it.
He's got into a spat with the other lead developers over this. They need paying too.
Tell me how it's less safe.

I'm strongly against the death penalty, but:
You know what? If I was condemned to death, I'd want a pullet through the head. That's VERY quick and painless.
so is nitrogen. If you've ever done OSHA training you'll know this. It's a dangerous gas to work with because your body has no mechanism to detect it.
