  • I don't mean control from the perspective of someone posting data. I mean from the perspective of the server owner.

  • Because you're arbitrarily restricting yourself to old versions of tools and software. The idea is you don't want unexpected conflicts to bring down your system. But, what that means is when you do go to upgrade on something like a server, you would test the whole thing on the new version, and then migrate. That's not how people use desktops. You just feel like one day upgrading from 20.04 to 20.10, and then get a massive burst of differences. It's really hard to pin down what specifically goes wrong when something does.

    So unless you have a staging environment for your desktop where you test the new version before migrating, then what is the purpose of running old versions of stuff?

  • Non rolling release distros for your desktop makes no sense.

  • It depends what you mean by inefficient. It's very efficient if you're optimizing for robustness and control of data.

  • I was arguing with one earlier about how you can't criticize desantis for attacking Disney because Disney is a corporation

  • It's because those are terrible ideas. You'd trust your life to a fingerprint censor or nfc nonsense? I sure as fuck wouldn't

  • No shit you're European. You seem to be totally obsessed with Americans

  • Yeah this is totally relevant to bring up Americans vs Europeans.

  • Are you suggesting this was caused by an accident due to insufficient safety devices?

  • Sure. There's a story around somewhere of someone deleting basically all of /bin and was able to recover the live system

  • What does paying for anything have to do with what we're talking about here. They're ingesting freely available content, that anyone with a web browser could read

  • I don't see how that's relevant. A company can pay someone to read copyrighted work, learn from it, and then perform a task for the benefit of the company related to the learning.

  • What's the basis for this? Why can a human read a thing and base their knowledge on it, but not a machine?

  • The governor can pardon state crimes

  • Didn't voat or truth social or something require IDs and the idiots all flocked to it?
