Unfortunately, GTK is much prettier than QT.

The USA didn’t invent the concept of police or government.

The first police were appointed to investigate and punish minor crimes commited agains civilians.

Then why are most “uncivilized” societies have more egalitarian and non-violent than “civilized” ones?

Uncivilized societies engage in violence much more frequently than civilized societies.

That’s the case for individual/personal violence, and also for institutional/mass violence.

Civilized societies are better than uncivilized society in anything they do collectively, be it science, production, or murder.

Since civilized societies are so much better at murdering, the few cases where mass murder does happen are much more significant.

However, such cases remain an exception, as opposed to what is the case for uncivilized societies.

Uncivilized societies may be harmless, but they are certainly not peaceful.

Civilized societies are more powerful, but they yield their power much more carefully.

Do not climb.

Play on and around pipe.

Well the options aren’t just capitalism and socialism. There’s also worse capitalism. So a normal capitalist system that protects itself does not just prevent socialism, it also prevents worse capitalism.

An example of a system that turned to worse capitalism is Nazi Germany. That’s why today, Germany prevents system change, so as to not again change from normal capitalism to worse capitalism.

I was working with Argon2 hashes, so it was the first thing to come to mind.

whatever you need to justify killing a pig

I don’t need any justification for that lol. I wouldn’t care if people ate dogs either.

I was just pointing out a traditional norm that people usually don’t eat carnivores (because they are more prone to disease and are much less efficient to farm).

Dogs and cats are carnivores. We don’t eat carnivores in general, regardless of domestication.

The only odd one out are horeses, who we don’t eat in spite of them not being carnivores.

Huh, odd. I never had these issues, even though I use an Nvidia card with a VRR monitor. All my peripherals (webcam, printer, bluetooth earbuds) work out of the box, too. But maybe I’m just lucky.

If being ready means “runs Windows applications” to you, then obviously Windows will always be the best choice.

Like, what a metric lol

Next you’re gonna tell me MacOS isn’t ready either, because you can’t play many Windows games on it as well

Complaining about hardware compatibility on Linux while Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs is crazy.

Windows 11 doesn’t even support first gen Ryzen CPUs. The amount of hardware that runs Windows 11 without tinkering is a tiny fraction of the hardware that runs Fedora Workstation without tinkering.

Linux is much better with drivers and hardware support than Windows. Windows only works well if you use the very small subset of hardware it supports.

love the :3

Another upside is the easy permission management.

You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.

It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.

If half of the shit is thrown out every week, less shit will be produced next week.

there are plenty today […] that would take a painless death in a heartbeat even if they aren’t clinically suicidal. Life is that bad for most people.

Most people aren’t suicidal, not even passively. A small minority is passively suicidal (and that minority is very loud on Lemmy and Reddit), but generally humans do enjoy life.

There are no reasons for it that do no begin and end in pure self interest.

Doing something out of self interest does not make it immoral. Creating art out of pure self interest doesn’t make it immoral either.

it would still be a selfish act to force a being into existence to experience joy as much as it would be to experience sorrow.

Forcing a being to exist is no more selfish than forcing a being not to exist.

Abortion is almost always the moral choice.

Are you implying context for this statement or do you really believe that creating new life is (almost always) immoral?

The vast majority of humans do find love.

Human lives are only valuable if they serve a purpose

It would be great if politicians could all be philosophers writing political theory.

But that’s not what gets the votes. In a democracy, the most important skill of a politicians is being able to sell their ideas.

There’s a reason populism is popular. Because people don’t read theory, people read posts on X.
