Initial release of dd was for Unix in 1974 and it’s still updated for use in modern systems.

I used it just the other day and it was already installed.

It’s the same with all machines. When I worked news production in television it was the same thing. Something breaks, call in the engineers, now it works once they show up.

Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds.

Maybe he’s been in opposition of using the term because he’s fucking fascist-lite himself. Fascist with half the calories.

“I resisted calling it fascism until it was too late and people were dying at the hands of monsters.”

Get fucked. It was fascism when it was George Floyd and it’s fascism now. It’s been a fascism white people were willing to ignore because it didn’t impact them directly for fucking decades, if not a hundred years or more.

Great job joining us in reality.

I’m literally talking about the execs, not the workers forced into their interninable meetings.

This erroneously assumes conservatives care about their own constitutional rights.

This is the party of “the only moral abortion is my abortion” and “I hate the gays until my kid comes out gay.”

They have no ability to actually visualize it happening to them until it is already too late. Until it is directly happening to them, in their view, it isn’t happening at all.

Even when it happens to friends and neighbors, they will find ways to rhetorically and mentally justify it.

Until their own constitutional rights are being impacted directly and personally, they don’t give a shit and trying to tell them that they should be concerned is a fools errand.

Wrong comic book universe. More like El Doctor del Doom

Yet the guy who called Trump a pedo protector got more money way faster.

American priorities are fucking stupid shit.

Fundraising on his behalf collected $810,000 from Tuesday through Wednesday.

Seriously raised twice as much in half the time. What a fucking joke this shithole country is. Some guy in a good paying fucking union job gets money handed hand over fist and he didn’t even lose his job he was just suspended and his union had his back. Yet a fucking innocent kid whose rights were viciously violated made half as much in twice the time.

I mean, fuck me, I’m so tired. I’m so tired of expecting better of people.

I guess the silver lining is that TJ Sabula isn’t a selfish person and is giving away the money he got to charitable organizations.

Not the cheapest, but I quite like Njalla.

Username checks out.

How do you connect to the internet? If it’s cable internet or something similar and you don’t have a static IP address, reboot your router until you have a new IP address and then try making a new throwaway email and using that to make a new reddit account.

But really you should just ditch reddit and if you want to view it without logging in or interacting that is always still possible.

That’s the equivalent of 32.5 8-hour workdays for a total of just over a full month of work for one year. Must be nice essentially having 11 months to fuck around doing fuck all for $3 million. It’s also roughly $11,500 an hour in terms of pay.

The thing is, this is actually how all the high level jobs are. A bunch of do nothing fuckwits.

They bitch about nobody wanting to work anymore because they are projecting their own lack of desire to work onto others. They think poor people must be shiftless layabouts just like them because they have no empathy or imagination to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.

All high level executives should be required to work as many hours as their lowest level employees and bullshit meetings that could have been an email or zoom meetings where they say “nothing to add on my end” don’t count towards that total.

Hunting humans for sport has been their wet dream their entire lives.

It’s “The Most Dangerous Game” except it’s not dangerous at all for the hunters.

They also go great with dipping in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

I’m trying not to waste my time getting all worked up

Too late, you’ve done nothing but rant in this thread. Get over yourself.

Thanks for the link. I’m personally not even vegan and only what I call “half-vegetarian.” I was pushing for full vegetarian until I was diagnosed with cancer which actually does require increased protein intake. I just think it’s dumb to ignore reality that the majority of US citizens are far from hurting for protein and that there are plenty of healthy vegan protein options from nuts to tofu to seitan and more.

He’s a doctor of economics, he has a PhD. He’s not exactly a tech bro by any stretch.

The paper I linked is literally an example of him making something. Unless you somehow erroneously think that research papers aren’t entitled to copyright protection, which, surprise, you’re wrong.

This isn’t even worth replying to. Get your head out of your ass, man. Plenty of people who make things that are copyrightable promote shortening and amending copyright, including author Cory Doctorow, the man who coined the term “enshittification.”

I’ll quote Mark Hosler of the band Negativland, who made a shitload of art. Negativland was also instrumental in designing early Creative Commons licenses.

“If you really want to keep control of your art, keep it in your house, don’t share it with anyone, don’t share it with the world.”

There are almost zero Americans that are protein deficient. Yet people here freak out about vegetarians and vegans like they’re going to die of lack of protein while ignoring common vegan protein sources.

You could cut about half of the meat from old food group suggestions, including the Michele Obama one (which was more healthy and reasonable), and still be getting more than enough protein.

God these people are so anti-science and so fucking dumb. Men all desperately trying to look like roided out freaks.

Hey, the argument against a wealth tax for these types is usually “but they’ll move to somewhere else!”

Well, in this case, they are already somewhere else. Isolate these dipshits and get them stuck in the USA until someone with the balls to institute a wealth tax in the USA when they can no longer run away because the rest of the world is sick of their shit.

Fucking do it, Europe. Please.

We have two conservative parties in the US.

Actual centrism doesn’t even get representation, let alone leftism.

Just Nazi Right and Diet Nazi Right.

See, I think copyright has value, I think it has just lost sight of its original goals and intentions because corporations (which never die) have vested interest in copyright being as long as possible.

According to the research of Rufus Pollock, optimal copyright term is between 15 and 38 years. This provides a range that the majority of copyright holders will make the majority of their income from copyright on, while also promoting the originals goals of copyright which was to allow artists to support themselves while also promoting creation of new media. The majority of copyrighted works only have a real shelf-life of 15 to 38 years before people aren’t really looking to pay for them, so why should we have copyright that exists beyond that when most will have already made all the profit they will ever make from their works within that timeframe.

I personally think UBI is a pretty weak replacement for copyright. UBI shouldn’t wholesale replace markets but rather be a safety net for people who are struggling and need a basic amount of support to reasonably survive.
