I think the anime adaptation of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End was genuinely better than the manga. Which is saying something, because the manga was already pretty damn good.

Roy is so cool.

I think you should pause to interrogate the statement “freedom to own slaves.” What do you think ownership is? Who enforces it?

If passing a law that takes away ownership is “authoritarian” in your eyes, what about the enforcement of ownership? Doesn’t the state enforcing property rights also take away certain freedoms? Not just with the obvious example of slavery, but in general.

The “right to control distribution” is utterly unenforceable in a world with computers and the internet. The only way to enforce that right is to have centralized institutions with absolute control over every computer.

I can understand a need for controlling personal information in order to protect the user privacy. I can even get behind the idea of having to control dangerous information, like schematics for nuclear weapon systems. I do not support the idea of moving towards a world where the NSA has a rootkit on every computer because capitalism can’t be bothered that artists make enough to eat.

Maybe there is an inherent problem with a social system in which so many people struggle to make a living. And maybe the solution isn’t to create artificial scarcity in computer systems where information can be shared freely.

Yeah, this seems like the kind of question that should be answered by random internet strangers.

I use MacPorts. Pretty decent experience so far, but it is a source-based package manager, so you’ll have to wait for it to compile everything.

THE UNENLIGHTENED MASSES

I didn’t know they were still running. I’ve only seen a few episodes, but the Mass Effect 2 one is one of my comfort vids.

I recently installed Silverblue alongside Windows and ran into this as well. I haven’t found a way to run the actual OS off the USB stick.

I hope this is shitposting/satire. For anyone who doesn’t understand why Wayland was created, I’d recommend taking a look at this talk by one of the Wayland (and former X) developers.

Yes, Wayland has problems. But something like it was sorely needed. X is an unmaintainable pile of hacks built on broken assumptions.

Nah, I’ve seen far dumber. Real talk, though: What value does conservatism have to offer? I’ve yet to see any actual principles behind this supposed political ideology beyond “fuck you, got mine.”

I was pretty excited for a Servo when it was first announced. Then Mozilla shifted priorities and development slowed down to a crawl. Glad to see some more activity on it now.

I presume the tentative future goal would be to rebase Firefox on top of this. Hopefully Servo does eventually reach that level of maturity.

I guess if we’re keeping with the theme of self-promotion: !wholesomeyuri@reddthat.com

I’m like 90% of the posts on that sub and wish I wasn’t. That reminds me: I haven’t posted in a while…

slow clap

HDR support looks to be a ways off.

Given the connotations of the word “roommate,” I’d say it’s still sadder that Bert got friendzoned.

Americanized Indian food is not spicy at all

Disagree. This is entirely dependent on the particular restaurant. None of them put Scoville ratings on things, so “hot” can mean “barely mild” at one restaurant and “this will absolutely wreck your colon” at another. This has been my experience, at least.

I’m giving you bonus points for the alliteration.

I’m in the bathroom, so it wouldn’t affect me much. Would lose a pair of really fluffy pajamas, so that sucks.

My pacing pattern is very predictably elliptical.
