  • It’s free as in freedom, not as in free beer.

    But you can’t have one without the other. Putting a cost on software is adding a restriction, thus making it less free (as in freedom).

    Free software should be available to everyone, even to people who don’t have money to pay for it (poor third world countries, students, kids).

    I personally believe, that you should pay for software that helps you earn money. For everything else - it’s everyone’s own decision to donate or not, based on a financial situation, beliefs, political position and what not.

    only a small number will sign up for a specific forum

    Most people don’t have to sign-up, 90% of cases should resolve on just searching the problem. Good chances it was already asked and answered.
    Most of the time, forums with few users aren’t dead, they’re just really slow, whenever you post a question - expect at least 12-hour delay. I’ve never seen a message on Discord answered 12 hours later - you either get somewhat instant response or it’s ghosted forever. Also good luck asking questions if there’s heated/rapid discussion in the room, or you have a little time and other responsibilities other than checking discord every couple minutes.

    I don’t believe it’s only chrome’s problem. I’ve noticed that firefox tends to lock all available memory to himself and whenever I need it, bastard just reallocates it into swap, making whole system laggy and slow.

    So… I’ve got my foxy friend into a Ram jail for being too hungry:
    systemd-run --scope -p MemoryMax=1G --user firefox

    God, I love linux!

    I thought about this for some time. An anarchy would always collapse into governed state.

    First, imagine the perfect scenario where there no authority and world is just a lot of tiny city-sized communities. It would take just a single bad actor to form a state, start invading neighboring communities and growing in power. In response - other communities would be forced to group into increasingly bigger states to have a chance to oppose influence from bigger/richer states.

    This thought experiment also works if violent takeover is replaced by economic one. Think of cartels and monopolies.


  • I mean doesn’t america always bang on about people being able to govern themselves rather than been forced into another government they don’t want to be a part of.

    Because any country supports only stuff that benefits them. And the states is no different. Do you really think USA cares about democracy and sovereignity in the middle east?

    They only protect their own interests and Texas secession is against these interests: If Texas would get it’s sovereignity, what’s stopping other 50 states from doing the same?
