Linux isn't derived from Unix, just originally based on it. The BSDs and Darwin (Mac) would be the unfortunate casualties, but at least most of the country won't be stuck with Windows?

Edit: And, I guess, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4/5. The former "borrowed" the networking stack from OpenBSD, and the latter are based on some BSD variant if I recall correctly.

I actually wouldn't put it past them to help bulldoze the entire planet to make an intergalactic highway if it meant they'd get Earth money in exchange. They're already doing that with the environment, so...

It's pretty commendable that you're trying to educate that person. I wouldn't have even bothered since it's clear that they're asking questions in bad faith.

Paraphrasing it:

So you believe in Satan? That's stupid.

And

So you're atheist? With useless extra steps, too.

Hail Satan!

Jokes aside, it's good to see more Satanists out in the wild. TST has been doing great shit, and I'm all here for it.

It's not that everyone owns a gun, but that some people own a lot of guns. And it just so happens to be that those people support this kind of government tyranny.

It would be a very different story if the "tyranny" was punishing people for hate speech. That would be the wrong people being hurt, and that's unacceptable.

This is the main problem when it comes to politicians not caring that incarceration costs more than helping people.

An entire industry is built on profiting from legally-permissible slavery, and the only way to achieve growth is to either extract more value from the prisoners or the number of prisoners. The former isn't an option since prison work isn't mandatory, so that means growth is only achievable by imprisoning more people.

To make that happen, the prison-industrial complex uses lobbyists to encourage more "tough on crime" laws and harsher sentencing.

It really isn't a surprise that the whole idea of rehabilitation scares the politicians getting kickbacks from a private prison industry that thrives on recividivism and driving people to do things that get themselves incarcerated. They don't give a rat's ass that it costs the taxpayer more money when the alternative means that their own livelihood will be negatively affected.

And that's precisely why we need more elected progressive politicians. The career politicians we have right now don't care about their constituents, they only care about themselves and by extension their corporate masters.

It's not like they needed all 11000 of them. Half of them died from being submerged in boiling dye... Surely, it would have been easier with half a magnitude smaller quantity.

We already have MMU for Memory Management Unit. Maybe Matrix Multiplication Accelerator instead?

going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response

More likely, it makes the poor baby (-hands) cry and throw a tantrum. Being the malignant narcissist he is, he thinks the resources of the United States government are entirely at his disposal. With that in mind, he's absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his businesses.

Whether saner heads prevail, all we can do is hope.

Not quite. The other 0.1% are the rich, and the remaining 27.9% are either just stupid or are delusional enough to think that they'll ever become the rich.

Be the change you want to see in the world and post the exact same screenshot on the 4th.

Either the reactionaries don't read the date and get pissed off, or they do read the date and get pissed off, proving to everyone else that the have the ability to use critical thinking but choose not to when it benefits their narrative.

What long weekend? Their asswipe of a boss doesn't believe in anything but the 80-hour workweek for employees, and there's no way he's not demanding more overtime to rebuild after this fuck-up.
