Correct me if I’m wrong, but I didn’t think that IRC did any archiving, so it’s actually worse than Discord in that respect.

Linux porn sceenshots. I wanted to have a cool cyberpunk desktop and be Hackerman.

Which is pretty warped if you think about it - shouldn’t the whole point of religion be to learn how to live well?

Surely not the whole point, since you don’t need religion to do that. This is a question that philosophy has been tackling for thousands of years.

One big problem that I see is people neglecting the good life on earth for their anticipated good life in heaven. Why bother trying to live well on earth when you’re only going to be here for a short time, and you’ll have an eternity of living well in heaven?

What makes somebody’s sexual orientation political?

I use qbittorrent, and it has a function that lets you move the torrent to another location. So, the files will move over, and it doesn’t break the linkage with the client.

There’s an extension for Firefox called DownThemAll that lets you pause and resume downloads, as well as a bunch of other cool stuff like being able to filter a page of URIs for a filetype and enqueuing them.

Everyone who voted for Harris demonstrated that genocide was not a deal-breaker for them. Gazans being starved, tortured, and killed was not a red line for them. And yet they pretend that this position gives them the moral high ground to condemn others, as you’re doing here.

I understand why you’re angry, but that anger should be directed towards the Democratic establishment: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and all the rest who enabled a genocide.

Voting for a candidate that won’t clear 5% is just as bad if not worse than skipping out on the election.

I’m still going to do the right thing, even if only .0000000000000001% are doing the right thing.

The question isn’t why am I trying to help Stein win; the question is why you aren’t.

That protest vote was summarily ignored before it was even cast and won’t effect any level of change.

I don’t protest vote. I think that’s stupid. That would be like writing in Mickey Mouse or something like that. I’m voting for a candidate’s platform that I believe in, not against another candidate’s. Ironically, a “protest vote” would more accurately reflect many votes for Harris, i.e. people who didn’t care about her platform but wanted to stop Trump.

BTW, my vote was not ignored. It was counted. You can see how many votes Stein got on her Wikipedia article.

Genocide is a black-and-white issue. When voting, the second-best thing you can do is not vote for a pro-genocide candidate. The best thing you can do is vote for an anti-genocide candidate. In this election, there were two: Cornel West and Jill Stein.

Not supported genocide, for one

When did she say that? She gave every indication that she would continue Biden’s policies.

A vote for Stein was effectively a vote for the current regime.

When has Stein ever endorsed genocide?

Hope you’re happy with the results

If you’re a Biden-Harris voter, you’re the one who should be happy. Trump is only continuing Biden’s policies. Agreeing with Biden’s position on Gaza but disagreeing with Trump’s position must take some serious mental gymnastics.

I’m judging the people who stayed home, too; just not as harshly. There were at least two candidates on the ballot who had the correct position on Gaza, so those voters don’t have an excuse.

I didn’t “let Trump win”. I can’t control how other people vote.

As someone who voted for Jill Stein, what did you think that Kamala was going to do differently?

Yeah, imagine caring about people in another country that you’ll never even meet. I mean, how do I even know that Gaza is real? It might just be something that Jeffrey Epstein and Vladimir Putin made up to make Democrats look bad!

Fuck every last person who voted against Gaza. Free Palestine.

cat and ls have canonical short names to save disk space on the systems they were created for.

I thought it was to save on keystrokes due to slow transmission speeds.

Maybe it can, but with fish, it does what I want right out of the box, and I don’t have to spend time configuring it.

What about games that are no longer being sold?

Filesharing isn’t piracy. It’s filesharing.

Piracy is when you attack a ship and steal its cargo.

But, of course, it was difficult for the RIAA to have a war on sharing, so they had to use a different term with sinister connotations and implant it into the public consciousness.

And it worked! You never hear anybody talk about “filesharing” anymore.

People are afraid of the terminal because Windows has a shitty, unfriendly terminal. One of the things that brought me back to Linux was the cool-looking terminals. They make me feel like I’m Hackerman.

Linux isn’t just a different operating system. It’s a paradigm shift. Windows is always going to dominate as long as people are trapped in a Windows mindset.
