And yet, if a ‘top NASA official’ were to ‘leak’ that the moon landings were actually fake, or a ‘journalist’ wrote a ‘dazzling exposé,’ we’d all dismiss the claim instantly as fake, instead of doubting the moon landing.
Anyway, everyone knows the moon landed in 1982 in Wales and that orb up in the sky is a projection by the US government to cover up their mistake.
Games don’t age well.
Make your MIT-licensed library big enough that the corpos use it, then switch it to AGPL just before you add a really important and tricky feature they’ve been waiting for.
Counterpoint: even without lock tight secrecy, leaks can be ignored and covered over. Also there are certain secrets governments really have been good at keeping for a long time.
In and of itself, I don’t think this is a good argument against any particular conspiracy theory.
Did you get the special chloroform-infused masks? I hear they’re the only ones that do the job properly.
How did Arch get this bad rep?
Because so many people love it and make a point of its ‘brilliance’, so it’s funny to take it down a peg.
Myself, long ago, I moved from Arch to Ubuntu partly for ease of downloads on bad internet in Asia (in-country package mirror, and obviously less downloads overall); and partly because I didn’t want my time and mental energy to be ‘on call’ for a random breakage from an upgrade. Breakages were occasional for me, and normally easily fixable, but took immediate time and effort.
I still think Arch is great, but I’ve got through some distro hops to end up currently on Mint, from wanting stability + a couple of binaries that are published for Ubuntu and not other distros.
Was tempted by NixOS or Guix, but… not just yet.
Off the top of my head
Your nostalgia is a bad reason for starting anything really. Most hopefully you won’t push your nostalgia on your children and force them to play outdated games.
It’s a dark path. Next you might start making them watch outdated films, maybe even reading outdated books. Before you know it you’re teaching them pre WWII history and Newtonian mechanics.
Unity in Diversity
I like to think these are a sequence.
1812 Overture
I learnt from xkcd :-)
Beyond the numerous and well-documented atrocities committed by Hamas militants on Oct. 7, some accounts from that day, like Otmazgin’s, proved untrue.

Okay I’ve re-read back to your first comment and I think I see what you mean, now.
You mean, that you see gardening as something available only to the wealthy, so discussion of gardening helping with health is of no relevance/help to the question of how to improve the situation for the less wealthy, right?
I see your point. When I chimed in with gardening’s ‘efficiency’, I wasn’t trying to think of it as a solution for all people. That said, I do think some of the less industrial methods of farming are worth more effort. Maybe more people having gardens, rooftop aquaponics allotments. Small/local farming collectives. These things can help the balance be more in favour of getting the most health and human benefit, rather than the most money for shareholders and owners.
*proposes way to help*
“Noo! You’re fleeing from the problems”
Good. You go ahead and work on you proposals to improve industrial agriculture. I might not think that’s a complete solution, but it’s not defeatist. Saying, “only the wealthy can eat healthy” and leaving it at that, sounded defeatist.
But I hope you can agree my support of more people doing home gardening - also not a complete solution - is a suggestion of how to improve things, not defeatist. You might disagree with its utility. You certainly disagree with it being a solution for everybody. But need you attack it as defeatist and running from problems?
That seems to be what you’re doing. “Only the wealthy can live healthy” and giving up on discussion to change that.
Sounds pretty defeatist to me.
Took me a long time to understand this was stairs!
