I don’t agree with some of that stuff.

How do you know before you read the entire argument? 🤔

The artificial scarcity around books, science and generally information and education is affecting the trajectory of mankind.

If all had free access to all information meaning scientific papers, books, plays, literature, musical scores and recordings, then we may have already lived in a start trek style utopia.

How much has mankind's advancement already been hampered by the sorry state of affairs?

We all stand on the shoulders of giants!

when it was black music or achievements, where were those property rights then? chuck berry was robbed, so were many others. Where was the outrage then? seems to me property is only respected if it comes to the belongings of those in power, but if you are a native american your entire country is up for grabs... how come?

The actual damage is done to the billions of people that are excluded from education, from science and from just books, by property and copy rights. The damage done to mankind done by patent law far exceeds any damage done to individuals holding patents.

We artificially live in a world that is less educated than it could be. I would like to live in the world with the most possible education.

Think about who is damaged by our lack of education? think about who benefits from our ignorance?

Who's interests outweigh the ability of all of mankind to educate themselves? Our taxes paid for the science, the articles should be gratis.

If I were asked to answer the following question: What is slavery? and I should answer in one word, It is murder, my meaning would be understood at once. No extended argument would be required to show that the power to take from a man his thought, his will, his personality, is a power of life and death; and that to enslave a man is to kill him. Why, then, to this other question: What is property! may I not likewise answer, It is robbery, without the certainty of being misunderstood; the second proposition being no other than a transformation of the first? I undertake to discuss the vital principle of our government and our institutions, property: I am in my right. I may be mistaken in the conclusion which shall result from my investigations: I am in my right. I think best to place the last thought of my book first: still am I in my right. Such an author teaches that property is a civil right, born of occupation and sanctioned by law; another maintains that it is a natural right, originating in labor, — and both of these doctrines, totally opposed as they may seem, are encouraged and applauded. I contend that neither labor, nor occupation, nor law, can create property; that it is an effect without a cause: am I censurable? But murmurs arise! Property is robbery! That is the war-cry of ’93! That is the signal of revolutions!

Sometimes you got to take a leap of faith 🫣🐂🐃🦬 🤣

postscript : the guy who said everything was broken, seemed to just have had a broken filesystem, ironically the advantages of a microkernel like hurd led to him even being able to boot without a kernel panic() 🤯 🤔

We all have preconceived notions, but there is nothing hindering a hardened criminal from dressing feminine... Don't let the packaging fool you, the guy is as tough as they come :( he just happens to have his own sense of fashion... it's just like the glam rock thing...

So you are bemoaning a dilution of your good old wholesome shit? 😂 🤣 😂

I've seen it soar across the night sky, my neighbor Trevor says one abducted him and did some probing stuff.

The Hurd is the GNU project's replacement for UNIX, a popular operating system kernel.

The Hurd is firstly a collection of protocols formalizing how different components may interact. The protocols are designed to reduce the mutual trust requirements of the actors thereby permitting a more extensible system. These include interface definitions to manipulate files and directories and to resolve path names. This allows any process to implement a file system. The only requirement is that it have access to its backing store and that the principal that started it own the file system node to which it connects.

The Hurd is also a set of servers that implement these protocols. They include file systems, network protocols and authentication. The servers run on top of the Mach microkernel and use Mach's IPC mechanism to transfer information.

The Hurd provides a compatibility layer such that compiling higher level programs is essentially transparent; that is, by means of the glibc, it provides the same standard interfaces known from other UNIX-like systems. Thus, for a typical user, the Hurd is intended to silently work in the background providing the services and infrastructure which the microkernel itself has no business implementing, but that are required for higher level programs and libraries to operate.
