I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Newsom’s out there throwing homeless peoples’ stuff into dumpsters as a photo op, he’s a flesh eating ghoul that wants “harming people” to be part of his branding

The reversal also becomes impossible if an observer retains information about measurement outcomes, as this resets the initial conditions within that observer’s branch of the universe

I thought the multiverse interpretation was discredited because it’s unfalsifiable

The only places it seemed to work were those that were already established as the centers of capital and were thus benefiting from the expanding frontier of exploitation. Capitalism has run out of land and run out of people outside the imperial core to further exploit and so turns inwards to devour its once-beneficiaries. Internationally and especially in the global south it has served no purpose, ever, except to brutally oppress and exploit.

Like I’m trusting a snake to be honest

I recall that Gondor very much needed a king to return, like it was a pretty big deal that returning as king to Gondor was a necessary deal. Gondor needed Aragorn to return as king. It’s all documented in the third book, The Return of the King.

You cannot atone for an act without first admitting culpability, otherwise you’re just papering it over and continuing to show disrespect to those affected. This is Apologizing 101.

I’ve got a running theory that Pim Tool doesn’t have a well-formed skull. It’s just loose skin draped over his smooth, glossy brain. Wears a beanie to hide that he’s got a Mojo-jojo thing going on under there.

The last record-holder, Strom Thurmond, would shit in a bucket in a coat room while keeping one foot in the Senate chamber and still talking. He was attempting, of course, to filibuster the Civil Rights Act.

Outgoing President Joe Biden on Monday moved to permanently ban offshore oil and gas drilling

In his last two days or something? Anyways good if he manages it

The US isn’t even able to produce enough bombs for their proxy wars, never mind actually fighting peer powers

An island in Florida facing the Atlantic, Xi doesn’t need to do a thing that a hurricane won’t do first

The ape is merely a representational avatar! The true value of the rune lies in possessing it, for it identifies you as a member of an elite cadre of ape rune possessors.

Read as Greek names it works

China has successfully prototyped a 1000 km/h train, which is faster than commercial aircraft, and is researching the viability of trains moving up to 4000 km/h.

The USA has failed to develop infrastructure because it’s been hollowed out by decades of finance capitalism. The neoliberal government is now not only unwilling but unable to do anything but hand money to billionaires.

I feel that as climate change and the environment more generally become increasingly pressing issues it’s hard to see the plant lady as a villain

There’s two kinds of energy: renewable and non-renewable. So all they’re saying is Biden has taken renewables from number 2 to number 2
