Also, if criminals know they will be killed when caught, they have a decent incentive to not get caught alive.

A company in Europe has to respect patents. Same for a company in the USA. Not a company in China. Of course this has an impact. Failing to grasp this is at best naive at worst purposefully misleading.

We should be critical of our manufacturers but we should also not forget China is basically getting its R&D for free by stealing tech from everybody (all do, but some more than others).

How do you want to do this? Linux is a kernel the world relies on. It powers your car, your fridge, your satellite, your phone, the entire Internet, the army, etc. Nothing comes close to Linux in market share. The distros are built upon the kernel. System76 may have to comply, but the other maintainers don’t give a flying fuck. They could even write a small line somewhere on their repo that says “this distro is not allowed in California” and call it a day.

Nobody’s complaining about his death here. But everybody should be worried about this new trend of Trump deciding who’s deemed fit to rule and who’s not.

No, I don’t think this is correct. There was a time during which Google did great things. Their search engine allowed millions if not billions to gain access to knowledge. They had a positive impact on a lot of FOSS projects. What they were is not what they are.

That’s why I asked you if we should base our actual opinions on what it meant. Because if we did, we could argue that the Nazi party is a left wing party and Communism is a Marxist regime, both of which are factually false.

You spelled a lifelong experience of bending forward without complaining wrong.

You could make an argument that if a song is listened a lot, it means a lot of people find it good and thus is could not be bad. But then again, Suicide Squad was a successful movie if you were to base your judgement on popularity.

Microsoft does not care about you, your computer or your licence. Microsoft cares about having a monopoly in business applications. By being the only player in this field, they ensure that they remain the (almost) only OS on personal computer. If your work uses Microsoft, your school will teach you Microsoft and you will more than likely buy a laptop to run Microsoft product. And they will collect everything.

The FIFA was/is fighting a legal battle for corruption in the USA

An electoral system always creates a ruling class. If you want to remove it, you need to randomly pick citizens and rotate them every x years. It’s the only option to have a legislative body that is actually representative of the people, be it for the better or the worst.

No but you don’t get it. AI is such an amazing tool, it can do everything and replace everyone. Did you try my new model yet? It’s blazing fast and can tell you to drive to the car wash to clean your car. It’s will revolutionize the world

I concur. It’s way better to eat the deer and fuck the bat. If you have tape, that is.

I use salt as a a weed killer in some specific area. So I guess I know, at least a little bit
