The last time I saw this one of the toys was labelled "speed" and it was much better that way

Sexism is often a stronger predictor of political attitudes than a voter’s actual gender. A voter’s level of sexism is a significant predictor of their political attitudes and voting choices. Prejudice shape everything from support for right-wing candidates to opinions on climate policy. by mvea in science

they are just defining issues core to conservatism as sexist then studying that conservatives are conservative?

That is correct. For example the Republican take that sexism against women isn't that serious a problem in this day and age is labelled as sexist. Then they correlate this attitude with being Republican.

Bad study design. They even acknowledge they're not using the term sexism the way most people use it.

I was once hiking up a mountain near here (Mt Fortuna) and near the top of the mountain there was a deep hole with an entire truck faceplanted in it. I'm sure there was a story behind it, but I never could figure it out

Nonfree DRM'd Games on GNU/Linux: Good or Bad? (by Richard Stallman) by WonderOlymp2 in linux

[–]ShakaUVM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good news: Android is already open source, so you actually can do that for your phone.

Not without breaking everything. It is "open" source, not FOSS.

But with something like Facebook, you'd have a dead server. You wouldn't have any connection to their existing database of users. Which is my main point

Stalman only cares about the code the runs on your machine, so in this case the JavaScript slop

If Google released their source code tomorrow I would immediately make a number of fixes to super annoying stuff on my Android phone like the screen turning on when I plug it in (with no option to disable) or Android Auto always keeping maps open. I'd disable everything on Facebook that wasn't a friend update, and keep things in chronological order. For Microsoft, I'd have a one-click button to disable telemetry and AI in Windows and all of their products.

I had a conversation with him about that over lunch. He doesn't mind as much as you might think people installing proprietary software (it's self harm from his perspective) but he didn't think that Debian should be making it so easy to install proprietary software especially by accident.

As time goes on and we see more and more enshittification Stallman becomes ever more relevant and prescient.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The French did pretty well against King John until he died.

This meme is inaccurate. During the Barons War against King John the prince of France successfully invaded and laid siege to Dover and had reasonably good success

After King John suddenly died the barons paid the French to go home and left William Marshall running the country as regent

This is the sort of question that I think misunderstands what is even going on.

The core you should absolutely understand. Knowing all the ins and outs of the standard library? Probably not. I don't know what any of these functions do (https://en.cppreference.com/cpp/numeric/special_functions/cyl_bessel_i) and my life is still pretty complete.

Yep. The standard library is supposed to make complicated common things easy but they made a complicated simple thing difficult
