if they would stop calling it vandalism, it would take away all the fun

idk, maybe like a server for “-key”-derivates with a community for each individual derivate?

Some of these derivates will be hugh, but reddit-like sites can already deal with communities of vastly different sizes, so whatever i guess.

note: clickbait sources/headlines aren’t liked generally

If you can’t afford to tip after getting a new car, you should probably get an older car.

fun fact: most people DO tip for new cars. Only the tip is factored in into the initial price, which already includes 50-100% markup, which gives the dealer room to abate.

reliably maintaining services

it’s funny that you use that as a selling point.

In my experience almost no outage happens because hardware failures. And most outages happen because bad configurations and/or expired certs, which in turn are a symptom of too much complexity.

Anyway, well worth reading his complete works. Good shit. Grab a copy off me.

There is a torrent for the audiobooks, narrated by Wayne June (the narrator from Darkest Dungeon).

Wayne Junes reading Lovecraft is a match made in heaven. I strongly recommend giving it a try

thanks. I forgot about that. But I’d like to add, that this models kind of feels like “donations with extra steps” to me. i.e. you can get it for free, but you choose to pay the developer even though you have to.

because of all the socialist propaganda in it?

there is plenty open source software, that you can buy. There are many modes:

• you buy the support (redhead)
• you buy the long-term-support (ubuntu)
• you pay for backports to old releases (keycloak iirc)
• there is a open source version, and you can pay for enterprise features and hosting (gitlab)
• there is an open source version, and you pay for customization (star office, iirc)

and my personal favorit:

• you pay a random developer to submit pullrequests for bugs that are relevant to you

tiny bit of a germaphobe

iirc salt is a has antimicrobial properties. So if anything, then licking that salt, will reduce the germs in your mouth. So a true germaphobe would be all over that lamp

are you sure you don’t want to share an indirect kiss with all her past tinder dates?

I feel you. I am down like 12€ at this point

It is blatant plagiarism

yes, and a solution could have been to cite sources.

This was no innocent mistake of forgetting to list a source

I don’t think, that not-citing-sources is an innocent mistake.

Watch the hbomberguy video segment about it, it paints a very clear picture

I did. I does paint a very colorful picture. Full of opinion and sarcasm and rhethoric.

Here is a rule-of-thumb to decide if an argument was convincing because it had good content, or because it was well written: If the content was good, it will be easy for you explain to a 3rd party. If only the presentation was good, then you will have a hard time convincing others.

guy covers historical event doesn’t rewrite history, instead takes what someone else has written about event doesn’t use own fotos, uses someone elses foto instead makes mistakes

I am not saying this is a big nothing burger, but his only real mistakes was not to list his sources.

wat

what’s wrong with uncle bens?

just reapply the thumbs when she starts to behave. Nobody said anything about making it permanenty. smh…

Classical philosophy used it often,

The earlier dialogues of Plato (424–348 BCE), relating the discourses of Socrates, raised the use of reductio arguments to a formal dialectical method (elenchus), also called the Socratic method.

If you want a more modern source, here is a lecture on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iepg5Q4rBAQ&list=PLPnZfvKID1Sje5jWxt-4CSZD7bUI4gSPS&index=53

I can recommend the entire lecture. It’s both entertaining and valuable.

I use UK-Layout, with some remappings for my precious umlauts

q+altgr ->ü
a+altgr -> ä
s+altgr -> ß
z+algr -> ö

bonus: in contrast to the peasentry I have an uppercase ẞ (altgr+shift+s)

fun fact: this is called “Reductio ad absurdum” and it’s a valid strategy in debate/rethoric.

It works great when countering stupid shit that sounds logical but really isn’t.
