Templates is super useful! You can make a copy of any file you put there in any other directory with right click > new. Some examples I usually have in my computers are ‘newFile’, ‘newTextFile.txt’ (just blank text files), ‘newTextDocument.odt’, ‘newSpreadsheet.ods’… but once you start you’ll find many more things to add like, if you’re a programmer or web dev you’ll put files with all the boilerplate already in them, if you design fashion you’ll put an image of a figure template to draw over (in your format of choice), you have to make monthly schedules? Throw a table/spreadsheet with the days, format, colours… already in it. Anything you find yourself repeating is a good candidate to go into your templates folder.

Ja! Tócate los cojones, Mariloli!

Free press: when you can’t even record the police, it’s illegal (kind of, in theory. Absolutely forbidden in practice). Freedom of speech: unless it’s against the Crown, or the Church, or national unity, or… Independent courts: independent from fairness, and the truth? Sure. Independent from the establishment’s power? Not at all. So, yes, you’re too privileged to care for any of this, but worry not, amigo, those privileges are being transferred upwards so (unless you’re part of the top elite) you’ll care soon enough. We don’t have anything to envy the USA or China (on these matters). I’ve been there, not as a tourist, so it’s not hearsay.

. I live in country with independent courts, free press and freedom of speech

Which magical country is that? Like, I get some eurohaugtiness vibes from your comment, so as a fellow eurofucker I can tell you, with quite some confidence, that you’re wrong. You’re probably just too privileged for this to matter to you, personally.

It probably has more to do with the people that buy BMWs, Rams, and Teslas driving like fucking idiots than with the cars themselves.

Peak humor.

Oi! Some of us like to keep track of our expenses, it’s a good budgeting practice.

There’s an argument to be made that it is, in fact, not ‘reading’. The training of the model could be considered a lossy compression of the data. And streaming movies in a lossy compression format is not fair use, is it?

We’ve had them for quite some time. They don’t change price for individual customers, I don’t think they change the price in the middle of the day either. But, I guess, they can change the prices just before opening, like if the wether service forecasts a rainy day they could rise the price of umbrellas and raincoats. Cold? Hot chocolate and soups. Hot? Ice cream and cold drinks. Certain asshole died overnight? Champaign and confetti cannons through the roof. And so on…

In Spain we’ve had those for years now, and prices are as stupidly high in the stores with paper ones…

If you have some fos licensed software it will be foss forever, that licence is a contract and doesn’t go away. Now the author(s) of that code can license it to other people or release the newer versions with a different non-foss licence.

Edit: came back from the article, his second name is actually Jonathan lol. He must be the son of our former legendary leader Mary Ann Tifa.

Not the commenter you’re asking, but I do consider the MIT licence a bad one for something like a core part of an OS. Not all FOSS licences are created equal, there’re even important differences between the different GPLs (GPL2 is more permissive than GPL3, for example. With AGPL you have to grant the freedoms to the users even if the software is running out of your server, which isn’t a thing with GPL2/3), and even the most permissive ones have a reason to exist, but I’m yet to hear (or read) a good one for these uutils, so I’m not touching any distro or project that uses these mit core utils with a ten foot pole.

As far as I know uutils has always been under an mit licence, hasn’t it?

You are very right. While non-copyleft licences makes sense for some software (a game engine like Godot, for example, released under the MIT licence) it’s absolutely awful for the coreutils.

You could’ve made this ‘meme’ with, literally, any service or product, couldn’t you?

Wasn’t the python convention to use spaces (4 iirc)? Which is just plain wrong imho.

I understand the joke, mate. My comment was about the l word, see my answer to the other commenter (so I don’t have to repeat myself or pollute the thread copy-pasting it).

I mean the word ‘libertarian’ doesn’t mean what op, or (most) Americans, think it means.

Not an exhaustive list, but someone’s NOT a libertarian if they’re a bigot, they ‘back the blue’, defend or support not only billionaires but any other kind of exploiter (this would include ‘employers’, landlords, investors… and anyone profiting from other people’s labor), enlist voluntarily into the armed forces…

The link is the site of an actually libertarian workers union.

Bit tired of fascists appropriating it, even if they smoke weed.

So if someone tells grok it’s April 30th 1945… would it self destruct?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
