This is why nobody use conscripts, imagine an army that is all cops.

I dunno EDM sucks.

As does confining millions to an open air prison

As does Israel creating Hamas

As does the current Israeli government ignoring intelligence reports because they wanted this to happen.

If Israel don’t like Hamas they shouldn’t have created them

flatpaks are all updated at once, just like distro packages, so yeah you might need to commands, but that’s still very different to having each application update itself (and the security hell implied by that)

Also I think pkcon can manage your updates across various backends (unless you are on Arch, where I think there are both technical & ideological objections to having a simple tool that just works)

It could even tell me what 1312 means, after I told it it was a number substitution cypher

But the only thing it’s actually good at is generating languages, if they try and pretend to know stuff in fields, they’re quickly exposed as frauds.

Nah GPT makes it a lot easier, it’s the thing it’s actually good at.

Before they were autogenerated with bad English, GPT can generate good English that is equally devoid of content

LMAO “we solved racism cuz Obama”

The US is still a white supremacists nation where white lives are placed above non-black lives, you can bury your head in the sand but systemic racism is very much real.

You can pretend you care about class, but if you’re analysis of the material conditions ignore the fundamental structure of the US, you’re not helping anyone.

Our entire society is plain wrong, doing things to address those injustices is good actually.

P.s you can’t be “racist” against white people, in a white supremacists nation.

Funny how we addressed the tool that helped black kids first, rather than the one that hurt them.

Maybe it’s because this is being pushed by bad people, that you seem to agree with under some fantasy of “100% merit based” reality.

Systemic biases exist, AA compensated for them banking AA is basically pretending this nation isn’t racist AF.

Without AA, racism in admissions is illegal.

No positive measure to counteract systemic biases are illegal.

Hereditary admissions when 80% of previous students were not black, is pretty explicitly racist and still very much legal

All the implicit systemic biases in the admission system are very much legal

The only thing you can’t do is ensure black kids get admitted.

If you have a system and you know its giving you biases results you can compensate for the bias, without understanding every single component bias, that’s what AA was, banning it, is sticking your head in the sand and going back to faux/real Naïvity about how system racism works.

We might as well start asking “why do black people prefer renting?”, because as a nation we are commited to pretending to not understand that there are systemic reasons for things.

Sure buddy, and if you’re too stupid to get into any college you might believe both those have the same chance of happen 🤣

Fine the mental gymnastics is to justify why hereditary admission criteria are more acceptable to you not “good”

Yes the white kid does.

• The racial biases of whoever runs the admission system
• The racial biases of teachers at the school
• The white kid is still more likely to benefit from hereditary admission and insider information on how to do well in admission tests/letter.

To pretend a white kid in a predominantly black school doesn’t have an advantage in “colorblind” admissions is to deny the existence of systemic racism.

You can never change who your parents are, that’s some real mental gymnastics to justify how hereditary acceptance criteria is good actually, but using race to identify those underservered by k-12 education, lacking in family connections, not having knowledge of college specific tricks to getting accepted & generally having less resources available to do the extra-ciricular activity to get in, and compensate for that bias is bad.

Affirmative action is only silly if you don’t accept that systemic racism exists.

But asking them who their father is is fine?

If people gave a shit about fairness they’d care about legacy admission more than affirmative action.

I don’t think that many companies have their shit together well enough to mirror the source code, besides the RHEL repos aren’t small, so that’ll cost.

The companies I’ve helped either had a minimalist mirror to reduce the surface area of what was installable or to save on cost.

It’s possible that a few enterprises do a full mirror of all RHEL sources, but i doubt it’s many

Subreddits belong to the community of users…

So you’re providing tools to allow democratic control of subreddits, right?

Right?
