edgy teenage bullshit argument

Yeah Support is horrible work, I don’t maintain anything, but I ask stupid questions, which I don’t know are stupid until I get the answer and than die of shame.

I don’t know if AI can fix that and most maintainers I had to ask for help were really helpful and friendly, but maintainance like keeping software compatible with used libraries, helping users and such is invisible work.

Ah the Linux help desk where you get helpful directions like “You have a problem with your dual monitor setup in your naively installed Ubuntu setup? Have you considered installing a rust micro kernel from an abandoned GitHub repo? After cherry picking some patches from a mailinglist? Also boon plep Ubuntu looser.”

Transparent Windows are like scifi where they print stuff on see through foil. How the fuck is anybody even able to read this?

The edgy teenage atheism blues. A classic.

It also includes a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license for the purpose of doing as you request with the content you input in Firefox. This does not give Mozilla any ownership in that content.

It’s still in the current version of the TOS without a direct explanation which can be found anywhere close to it. This is plain bad from a communication stand point.

To be fair nobody asked Mozilla to serve a stupid and detached statement without contextualizing what they meant or try to achieve.

[Edit] it feels like they’re asking for the outrage. You can’t just drop assurances of not selling data without explaining if your crowd is privacy aware. You can’t take broad licenses from your users if you don’t explain for what they are for. Having plaintext comment next to the lawyer speak would have fixed all that and none of this had to be this shitty. [/Edit]

Well so is torture

There are four lights! 💡💡💡💡

It feels like a potential security nightmare. If your desktop at work is compromised and you have your domain admin come over and take a look; they might decide not to elevate the whole session, exercising appropriate caution and protocol in doing so, but just wing it with a quick sudo !! because the previous command didn’t go through.

I don’t quite remember if this works properly, but I think !! should expand to sudo “previous command” at least in bash.

Best comment I read in a long time ❤️

Workers unaware of class struggle

I got milk so I’m human and must die.

Maybe I remember it wrong, been a while since I had contact with the insurance industry.

Also might depend on national insurance regulations.

I assume you’re right since you are in the sector, but I don’t know where I picked up the notion, that reinsurers would reinsure themselves.

I was quite surprised when I first learned it, there are insurance companies which specialize in selling insurance to insurance companies in case the insurances they sold have to be paid. See Reinsurance on Wikipedia for example.

Obviously Reinsurance companies might reinsure their claims to other Reinsurance companies until nobody knows who is actually paying.

Similar to packing rotting investments with other investments and selling them to retirement founds, because hey look, there are good investments in it.

Would you be so kind as to point out the straw man in that?

And no I don’t think you are necessarily wrong, I think you apply your standards selectively.

Moving the goalpost fallacy. You wrote in your comment to which I replied that no argument can be made against pointing out that someone’s arguments contains fallacies, which is not true.

I wasn’t present as you got hurt arguing on the Internet so I couldn’t anticipate that you were up against someone who’s “entire identity was based on logical fallacies” (ad hominem).

I mean don’t you prove his point, by pointing out that all governments that call themselves communist are “so called communist governments”? So they aren’t doing communism right, else they could call themselves rightfully communist.

I do share the notion that communism is an ideology or economic system that is supposed to liberate people from class war. So it should be a liberating force. Suppressing dissent, free media, and casually engaging in imperialism and ethnic cleansing is not what I’d imagine a liberating government would do.

Obviously democracies with “free markets” also have these pitfalls. Not to say that both are equally wrong, but both are surely not the implementation of its self proclaimed ideals.

Fallacy fallacy: only because it contains a fallacy (or a bunch) the argument isn’t necessarily void.

Still stacking fallacies isn’t usually a sign of a good and or valid argument.

I never met an engine.
