  • Not the commenter you’re asking, but I do consider the MIT licence a bad one for something like a core part of an OS. Not all FOSS licences are created equal, there’re even important differences between the different GPLs (GPL2 is more permissive than GPL3, for example. With AGPL you have to grant the freedoms to the users even if the software is running out of your server, which isn’t a thing with GPL2/3), and even the most permissive ones have a reason to exist, but I’m yet to hear (or read) a good one for these uutils, so I’m not touching any distro or project that uses these mit core utils with a ten foot pole.







  • I mean the word ‘libertarian’ doesn’t mean what op, or (most) Americans, think it means.

    Not an exhaustive list, but someone’s NOT a libertarian if they’re a bigot, they ‘back the blue’, defend or support not only billionaires but any other kind of exploiter (this would include ‘employers’, landlords, investors… and anyone profiting from other people’s labor), enlist voluntarily into the armed forces…

    The link is the site of an actually libertarian workers union.

    Bit tired of fascists appropriating it, even if they smoke weed.







  • I don’t know what’s up with my fellow millennials in the comments. I do order food once or twice a week.

    About the fees, there’s none if you order directly from the restaurant, and the apps/services that apply them (usually just one) take it out above a certain threshold, or looking into your email spam for of their ‘discount offers’, but the prices of the food are higher anyway (which I find more dishonest than simply charging a delivery fee).

    Also, I only tip if it’s rainy or super-hot (the weather, not the food or the delivery person), because Europe.

    When I pour my dog’s food I tell her ‘yes! This is super rich and tasty food for very small, and very good, and very beautiful doggies! D’ya see? It says it right here (it doesn’t, actually, it only says it’s for small dogs but she can’t read), see? There’s even a picture! But this doggy isn’t as good, or as beautiful, or as small as my wee girl is, is it?’ And then I have to pet her, kiss her on the fore head, and point to her plate and say ‘come on! Do eat it!’ Or she just would keep staring at me like waiting.






  • I live, and has lived for most of my live, in a big and dense city, one of the biggest in the eu. I lived, for a few years, also in a small village (~2k-3k people) that’s now my (adopted) hometown. The city is definitely much more concrete heavy than the village. My sister still lives there in a much bigger home than me and her utility bills are identical to mine even given that I’m not at home half of the days for work or visiting her, so no the power consumption is much more dependent on the quality of the buildings. The other points are probably right, but I prefer the power lines to the rats and cockroaches, the garbage piling up on every corner, the smell, the noise, the crazies and junkies (we have those in my small hometown too but not even near in quantity or ‘quality’).

    I get the impression that all the proponents of these ‘high density’ housing ideas haven’t lived in a high density working class area ever, and probably wouldn’t last long if they get themselves in one.
