rebranding of minivans

Except minivans are at least good at the one thing they’re made for, hauling people and their stuff. SUVs try to do everything, so they do everything badly.

Both bad is not the same as both the same. They’re differently bad. That’s the part you seem to be missing.

It’s not that they “took a lot of code from the GNU project”, it’s that “Linux” is the kernel, which is just the core of the OS, by itself it’s not very useful. All the stuff around it that constitutes the rest of the operating system, like the command line and the vast majority of the commands you might run from there, are the GNU project. And I’m not even getting into desktop environments.

Nothing justifies it, but desperation explains it.

It is also possible to fight without being barbaric.

Easy to say when you don’t have white phosphorus raining down on your kids’ school…

Freedom isn’t free, it costs folks like you and me…

It’s like when Prince became “the artist formerly known as Prince”…

I think the significance of 1979 is that’s when we started keeping track of an overall global temperature day by day…

Phoenix just broke its record for consecutive days over 110° at 31, previous record was half that…
