TODO Security

Came here to say this. Cops kill just so many dogs.

Remember kids, when brown people do something bad, it’s terrorism. When white people starve an entire population after a failed occupation, that’s just because we are very concerned about misogyny. Now, starving an entire country en masse has (to my knowledge) never caused a government to be overthrown, and in this case has no chance of improving the treatment of women in the country. Nor have women in Afghanistan ever asked for sanctions, nor do they support them now that they are in place. But don’t let that fool you in to thinking we’re doing it for any reason other than to help women in Afghanistan.

Before you respond, please take a look at my post and notice I said _nothing positive about the Taliban _. This is about the disingenuous use of women’s rights to excuse and even celebrate mass starvation.

Of course, but in this specific case, we’re talking about something that could literally mean rich people pay more money for the same thing.

Q: What did Marie Curie say to Albert Einstein?

A: At speeds approaching c, I still have one more Nobel prize than you

If this were just “it costs more to be rich” I’d be all for it, but more likely it’s just about jacking up prices based on other factors. So it’ll probably hit poor people, too, by charging more for things they want more, forcing them to give up other stuff they want less.

The song goes “Pinky and the Brain, one is a genius, the other’s insane”, which, if it implies anything, implies Pinky is the genius and Brain is the insane one

The #1 factor destroying the environment is unregulated capitalism allowing agri and petro corporations to run wild. Watch what you’re eating, sure, but atomized individual action can’t solve a societal problem

Thin blue line was not co-opted by the alt right, it’s just straight up fascist and always has been.

No it isn’t

If I say someone is my ally, I’m automatically their ally.

You might be lying; you also might not understand what the person needs or wants, to the point that the actions you are taking or endorsing are harmful to them.

I avoid gas stations that have ads. There’s a chain where I live that doesn’t do them, so they get all my business.

I completely agree with his points but enshittification is such a cringey word

The meme text itself refers to “frequent” updates. Seems weird to compare apples to oranges, since release updates are not frequent. Even still, updating from buster to bookworm was relatively painless; certainly not 3 hours of reconfiguration. Before that, I was on Ubuntu, and the release updates were also painless; I remember multiple times not needing to do anything except uncomment the sources.list(.d) changes.

[edit: Another quick point. Since Debian/Ubuntu manage configuration for you to some extent, you don’t need to fix configuration files as often as you would need to on Arch, hence not needing to do ~20+ config changes for two years of updates all at once.]

I’m running 4 Debian machines, all configured to automatically update every night, and this has never happened to me.
