When you turn your head to cough, the microplastics doctor checks em too

I want literally any evidence. You are clearly incapable of providing any to support your even most basic claim. I'm not arguing against meat, I'm arguing against ignorance and dishonesty. I had rotisserie chicken from Walmart for lunch. If you had provided any source for your claim, I would have read it fully and with an open mind. I'm not biased towards veganism, I wanted to know if the claims you are making have any basis in reality so I can make an informed decision. This is your third comment saying the same thing without evidence, and arguing like a child. I don't mean that to be derogatory either, if you're still in school or a child, that's fine. But I'm not interested in a discussion at that level.

You have shown repeatedly that you can't have an honest discussion and are close minded and conspiratorial. I'm not going to bother replying anymore, it's just getting obnoxious.

I'm not vegan, I eat meat. I ask for evidence because you're clearly biased and using emotionally charged and unscientific language when you dismiss the vegan diet. So I don't believe you have a real understanding of the science or potential nutritional complications.

Don't bother replying with "it's just common sense" reworded for a third time. If you can't provide evidence, that's fine, but you don't need to keep going on your dramatic crusade against something you don't understand in the comments. I'm not asking for your opinion.

Yeah but dogs are actually capable of empathy

Oh yeah, I think I do remember that announcement being before everything else went down, my bad for misrepresenting that

Here's an overview by The Verge

But basically it started when Gamers Nexus called out some issues LTT had with testing methodology and also an incident where LTT accidentally auctioned off another companies products that they had reviewed poorly.

Then Linus responded pretty poorly (and ended up stepping down as CEO and is now a chief creative something or other iirc)

Then a former employee tweeted about why she left LTT and accused LTT of having a toxic workplace environment. And specifically said she had been sexually harassed by a coworker but not taken seriously.

There's no court case, LTT just did this to clear their name basically.

This article doesn't really make sense to me.

The author talking about how difficult Linux is

Suddenly, I need the skills of a system administrator to resolve the issue—skills I don’t have. Now remember, I’ve been programming computers since 1980; I’ve written code in COBOL, APL, Fortran, BASIC, SNOBOL, LISP, and Perl. I’ve built my own PCs, configured domain names to activate websites, set up dual-boot systems, and hacked the Windows registry. I’ve worked in UNIX and VMS and mainframes, and was one of the first hundred or so users of the World Wide Web, back when it was a command-line program for accessing physics preprints at CERN.

I have half of that experience but have been able to install and run Arch without being defeated. And I installed Mint awhile ago and had an even easier time with that. I understand the underlying complaint that it's built on the CLI which can be hard to get used to, but still...

BeOS could do things in 1995 that Windows, Linux, and MacOS can’t do in 2024. (Try load-balancing the individual threads of your running programs, or switching processors on or off whenever you want.)

I... guess? Would the average person want to do that? I thought this was supposed to be for the average person who isn't allowed to poke around and break everything easily.

The OS itself has been rock solid, although it doesn’t recognize my sound card, and some apps have crashed. The experience takes me back to the early days of Linux distros, except that the core desktop functionality is spectacularly well-designed and consistent. Haiku is as easy to use as Windows ever was.

-_-

For that to happen, Haiku has to mature. It needs to become stable enough for daily use (in my experience, it already is) but also be usable on a wide variety of modern systems, and that means more device drivers for, for instance, my sound card. The project needs more than one full-time developer; for this, they need money. This is where we can come in.

So yeah, it sounds like a cool project. I might even try it out. It sounds like porting programs from Linux to Haiku is easy, so I don't see why they can't coexist at least. But this article just seems to contradict itself and is promoting an OS that the average person isn't going to be able to intuitively or easily use for probably a long time.

ignores science

Can you provide some links to that science?

[–] GeneralVincent 4 points 9 months ago

Well this is the technology community. Kinda obvious we're all nerds here, and care about technology 🤷 and we don't really have to look hard lol

She just mad because so many Republican men get turned on by twinks and femboys that she can't compete

Zionism is a religious and political movement to reclaim Palestine for the Israeli people and views that land as inherently belonging to Jewish people because God said so.

That belief alone is not enough to call it a genocidal ideology. However, because Zionists overwhelmingly "reclaim" the land by terrorizing the current inhabitants, it's not that much of a stretch.

It is also inherently nationalistic and Zionists are inherently colonizers. It's not racist to say that because it's an ideology, and a harmful one.

Just like I'd call all Westboro Baptists bigots. And I'd call any far-right group fascists. The Zionist ideology is the exact same
