It’s a tool. As engineer, I will try to use each and every tool that helps me, so it’s reasonable for me to learn using this tool effectively as well: what works, what doesn’t, what’s expensive, how can I keep it under control etc.

Of course thats only the purely technical/utilitarian aspect, and I’m not going into the moral/social aspects here.

I mean, if AI gets too expensive, companies can always hire juniors to replace them 🤣

How would anyone place a 100% community driven distribution like Debian in such a cage? There’s no monetary leverage, the community is truly international, so local laws don’t apply …
Please note that it’s also one of the most prolific distributions, and the foundation p.e. for *buntu.

If you’re living in an oppressive jurisdiction, your employer might obviously not allow you to use a truly free operating system, but that’s hardly Linux’s fault.

So if your favorite distribution is starting bullshit, just switch to the next one, there are literally thousands of them. That’s why “Year of the Linux desktop” is confusing: it’s “year of steamOs” or “year of *buntu”, probably even “year of Debian”, but most certainly never “year of the nixos desktop”.

You have choice. Use it.

Very correct, and that’s not even taking into consideration that we’re nowhere near such an equation, or even any idea if it can even exist in principle.

If the universe can be expressed as numbers plugged into an equation

That “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there

The “best digital tools” are entirely depending on the use case and requirements.

Since one of the most important requirements is to reduce dependencies to US controlled companies, it follows that Google doesn’t provide the “best digital tools”, no matter how sophisticated their digital tools are!

Interesting, I attributed it to the data not being completely up-to-date before. And my upvote made the server do some syncing, so more current information is available

No no, that’s circumnavigation. This is about the length of the perimeter around a circle

The other user’s was better, so I’m hiding this one

Nono, you’re thinking of circumcision. This is about a big meeting where furries celebrate their favorite animes or something

Hier mein Versuch einer Übersetzung:

Make the switch to the good side every first Sunday!

Our digital lives are controlled by a few over-wealthy individuals. Through their corporate monopolies, people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg dictate worldwide how we access information online, how we discuss issues, communicate, or act. No individual or corporation should wield such unchecked influence, because under those conditions we can no longer live in freedom.

The characters in the comic are terrorists.

Just like almost every depiction of arabs, muslims or people with brown skin in general. My claim isn’t that every Arab is represented by this comic. I say that this is the only way Arabs are ever represented, which is racist.

Sorry, but since you have consistently mispresented everything I’ve said, and done so in a pretty aggressive way, I don’t really feel like you’re engaging in good faith here. Have a great day 👋

The comic is about anxiety and possibly OCD and a common feeling that nearly everyone has had at one time.

It’s true that these are common feelings.

The racist rage bait I was referring to is the casual suicide bombing and musings about naked virgins. Would you agree that these aren’t common things that nearly everyone has, but rather racist tropes about brown people?

Looks to me like racist “just-arab-things” rage bait, but am happy to be corrected

Or so you think - dun dun duuuuun
