Cool, in the EU all countries have veto power. In the UN, all permanent members of the security council have veto power. You just need one of them to refuse to give up that power. In the EU, I believe this could somewhat work, but in the UN ? No way the US, China, Russia, France or the UK would give it up without leaving the institution.

The veto is the sole reason these institutions still exist. There’s no way in hell any member would give up that power.

We’re so far removed from what it means to be human. Everything is available at the push of a button. It’s pretty crazy what level of alienation we’ve reached.

And looking at the finances of a State only through expenses and revenues is completely missing the point (on purpose here obviously).

These dudes saw Terminator and sided with Skynet

And then you feel it drain every last bit of moisture from your digestive tract

You know it’s not a single binary, right ? Systemd is a bunch of different, mostly single usage, mostly optional, binaries. As far as Unix philosophy goes, Systemd is definitely following the principles, which is not the case for the Kernel for instance.

As for the binary logs, I used to hate it, but then, not having to manually parse logs for filtering is really nice.

I do have my issues with Systemd, but it not following the Unix philosophy is not one of them.

A violent dipshit being drawn to a violent, dipshit filled, state enforced militia? Colour me surprised.

I mean, it’s also important to be able to defend ourselves from asteroid impacts. So it’s a welcome effort.

There’s no way in hell they’re playing with his dementia driven paranoia, right?

I think the issue with most datacenters is the frequency, not necessarily the noise level. A low hum that permeates everything, even if it’s not “loud” can become debilitating.

“I’m not locked in with you, you’re locked in with me”, but they all believe they’re the “me”

Which is exactly what happened here

Took longer than expected

That’s what we did, and it just normalised their ideas

It’s about control and power

Like what happened in Romania with Caucescu

To the suprise of absolutely nobody

Totally normal to compare a standard temperature found in a literal desert and never seen before temperatures in a usually temperate climate.
