So yes, increasing shareholder value is enshrined in US law. Only private corporations can get around that rule.

This is true, with one exception.

There are non-profit corporations. They have to declare that they are non-profit at the time of foundation, though. They have to write that in the statute (idk what it’s called in English, it’s “Satzung” in German).

No, I was arguing in good faith; But I see it doesn’t resonate with you at all, so i’ll just leave it.

I agree, you could find it on a schoolyard.

But it’s not weird to get hung up about it, consider my angle: By talking like this, we’re defaming or decrying children. It will lead to less self-determination for young people in general, thus promoting the gerontocracy.

Never ceases to amaze me how this country has children as elected officials.

Could we please please please stop talking as if children are the worst? Everytime somebody misbehaves, there’s someone who calls it “childish” instead of “stupid” or “wrong”.

tbh, that’s a fair question. I would have asked them same thing, if only to hope you’d say something like:

“What, no. The horses didn’t die. It was a movie. They pretended to kill them.”

Especially if you’re already emotionally worked up.

That’s called “being caught off guard”.

Or maybe she was just messing with him, who knows.

three, on three different instances. It’s called redundancy.

Well, what we need is some dedicated non-profit company making chips.

Danke, das sage ich auch.

Der Wartungsaufwand, wenn man die TLD .org wählt, steigt mmn sehr stark an. Ideal wäre wohl .dach, aber das gibt es leider nicht. Daher schlage ich .at vor.

Two plates of rice or noodles with vegetables and salmon. Delicious. Actually, highest ROI that you could possibly hope to achieve in the universe.

Or “*RN” meaning river in western continental europe. That’s why we got Rhone and Rhein.

Reminds me of “*DN” meaning river as well near the black sea.

noooo 😭

nooo the muffins 😭😭😭

how could you encrypt them 🥲

Not really.

Feminism embraces openness in society, including walking your own path.

If that includes deviating from cis male sexuality, then yes, feminism does indeed allow that to happen, if it happens naturally. In other words: feminism does not force you to take part in the toxic masculinity circlejerk.

In that way, yes, feminism probably reduces the amount of “male sexuality” which is basically toxic masculinity in the world. But it does not force that change, instead, it lets it happen.

They predicted pron would condition men to expect sex on demand and sexual assault rates would skyrocket when in fact the opposite happened.

Reminds me of “computer games turns teenagers into killer machines” saying.

I imagine it’s similar to marihuana.

If people find out there’s an easy, relaxed life, they don’t work so hard, hurting corporate profits.

Honestly, having a declarative package manager is pretty important.

Consider the following: We’ve had the transition from Sys V Init to Systemd recently. But what does it actually mean?

It means, that instead of running a command to start a service, you now flip a switch in a clear, standardized way. The advantage is that you can get a table-like overview over all the services that are currently running. You get an overview, in other words. That is worth a lot because it brings structure and clarity into your system.

Now, with package management it’s the same way. Instead of running a command to install a package, we should instead give a list of all the packages that we want to have installed, and the package manager should take care of making sure that they are installed. That would improve clarity, because you get a list of all the packages that are installed. It might also increase efficiency if you’re installing many packages, because large parts of the work can be done in parallel. And importantly, you get reproducibility. Imagine you just have a file where it names all the packages that should be installed. You can just take that list and copy it to another machine. Now you’ve cloned your package installations. I guess things like Docker, with their docker files, are kinda already going in that direction. But it would be nice to have support for it in the mainline operating systems.
