Who cares, as long as it’s copyleft?

Your Freudian slip is right, LOL.

Anyway, sure, Gentoo is a good choice to build on, but picking an evil thing as the example doesn’t exactly endear one to your POV, emotionally speaking. Besides, SteamOS is based on Arch, so the notion that Gentoo is strictly “better” (not equal) to Arch on the basis of being used to make distros for commercial products isn’t very persuasive.

I’m not saying you’re wrong about Gentoo being good. I’m just saying the supporting argument is a weak one, and doubling down by saying that sort of thing is “only possible” with Gentoo is even weaker.

That’s the stupidest thing about the issue: a whole bunch of ignorant idiots think they’re protecting the children by opposing medical intervention, but they’re really doing the opposite by forcing them to develop characteristics of the gender they don’t want instead of putting off the development until they’re older.

The conservative (in the dictionary definition sense, not the political sense) course of action is supplying treatment, not withholding it!

I don’t necessarily disagree with the first sentence (fan of Gentoo; never used Arch), but the second sentence is not helping its case.

People often think of Sam’s Club and Costco as sort of equivalent, but they’re not and that kind of thing is one of the reasons why.

That doesn’t account for the time value of money. The reality is even worse because the price of the house is continuing to increase as you push the purchase off into the future. (I haven’t done the math, but it could very well be increasing faster than $5 day, so in reality foregoing the rotisserie chicken doesn’t make you make progress at all, but only fall behind slower.)

I want to start seeing electric-converted 1959 Chevrolets.

Not gender bending lyrics about your relationship with others is one thing, but misgendering yourself is another. I’m sorry, but Luke Combs calling himself a “checkout girl” in that cover of “Fast Car” just doesn’t sound right.

Keeping people poor, ignorant, and stressed out, while removing the social safety net and relying solely on religious charity that serves indoctrination along with the aid, is a strategy to create more Republicans.

I agree with most of what you wrote, but cordless drills are way cheaper than you apparently realize.

As usual, the actual best option (keepass in this case) gets no publicity.

That’s because they do intend to depopulate the US by force.

(Note that a reduction of 100 million is way more people than the number of immigrants than we actually have, but does roughly correspond to the number of non-white citizens.)

I’ve opted out of the school Chromebooks for my kids because they have computers running real GNU at home. We should all be outraged that schools are pushing a locked-down surveillance/content consumption-only platform, as opposed to something like a Raspberry Pi that actually empowers kids to have real computer literacy.

I’m talking about the Amtrak Crescent line, passing through Atlanta on its way from NYC to New Orleans.

There is approximately one station serving the entire 6.5 million metro area population, and it’s a tiny little thing that used to be a commuter stop on the way to the big station downtown, before that closed and was torn down. We have gas stations around here whose convenience stores have more square footage (and I’m not even talking about Buc-ee’s).

Also, I say “approximately” because the next station up the line, 50 miles away in Gainesville, is arguably still in metro Atlanta by some measures. That’s how bad the sprawl is!

Both are not useful for commuters so who is this daily train for?

Considering that it is both slower and more expensive than flying, the best answer I can come up with is “nobody.”

Atlanta doesn’t have any commuter rail at all. They’ve talked for years about building some, but there are no firm plans for it. Like I said in my previous comment, we do have a subway, but it only barely touches the inner suburbs. The vast majority of people commute by car, and most of the rest drive to large park-and-ride lots at the stations at the extremities of the subway lines.

Just for some perspective, Atlanta’s original name was “Terminus” because the entire reason for its existence used to be the railroad. That’s how far rail around here, and the US in general, has fallen.

You’re right, I was extrapolating to talk about how such a policy might be applied more broadly, and still be worth it even in places that aren’t NYC.

That’s not the message I intended. The message I intended was “prepare to use more than just legal tactics to beat them.”

Maybe it’s a really low boat.

(Also it’s probably a strange downward angle.)

Fair enough!

It’s time for liberals to “vote blue no matter who” for a progressive candidate.

I am absolutely mystified at the existence of such people (especially since you can view a PDF file in a browser window anyway, and probably with a better UI than the one IA uses), but OK.
