  • Devil’s advocate: “If you copy it, the [original] owner doesn’t lose anything…”

    They loose the right to distribute it or not distribute it to who they choose. As the owner, it’s technically their right to deny access to the work, and you are taking that right away from them.

    I’m not a shill, and I am never going to be a customer of big media. If I can’t get it without charge, I’d rather go without. But, I am taking that right away from the owner. I sleep ok.






  • He ran an effective campaign of comparing brown people like Mandela Barnes to danger and fear. On the other side, the Wisconsin democrats underestimated Barnes’ polling and put almost zero effort into a campaign they assumed they wouldn’t win based on those incorrect polling numbers.

    Ron Johnson exploited racist fears. The democrats assumed Mandela would lose and ran their shitty campaign as a self fulfilling prophecy.

    FRJ!!!


  • My son and I built a very budget gaming computer this year. It was a lot of fun to design a build with him around such a limited budget (under $300). He was sick of waiting in the queue for GeForce Now to play Fortnite and Payday with his friends. He also wanted to get into Red Dead Redemption 2. We put together a pretty decent 1080p gaming rig for him with a 6 core/12 thread Xeon Lenovo p520 workstation with 32 GB Ram, a 1 TB m.2 NVMe, a GTX 1080, and windows 11 pro for $293 and change after taxes and shipping.

    I’d love to run some benchmarks, but he’s having too much fun paying games right now. I’ll get on it after school starts up again.



  • You imply that red hat targeted centos. Centos was unfortunately impacted by the abhorrent business decisions of oracle, but centos was not targeted. Red hat has financed so many contributions to Linux and open source software that you and I get to take advantage of every day. Any distribution you choose is going to be packed with contributions that red hat financed. They built a business on supporting this software and oracle took all of their work and all of their support and resold or undercut it without contributing anything. Nothing. Oracle is a parasite. It sucks that red hat closed of their priority update stream, but point your anger at oracle. Red hat found a legitimate and sustainable way to monetize open source software through services and oracle ruined it for everyone.
