So true.

Carl Sagan would have been proud that his wisdom carried over across the stars...

That's what happens when you tout all advice on how to prevent the pandemic from spreading.

The fact that international law at the time did not have provisions for aerial bombings makes the legitimacy of the indiscriminate bombings perpretrated by all parties in WWII merely a technicality. Since it was (and still is) considered fundamentally immoral by most decent human beings, stating indiscriminate bombing of cities is legitimate may be keeping with the letter of the law, but it is in contradiction of the.spirit of the law.

The Allies did it, the Axis Powers did it, but that fact does not make it any less fundamentally immoral.

That is complete bullshit. Truth be told, they did not know that it was at the time, but it is still bull shit.

Research has indicated the Japanes Emperor was already pushing for total capitulation by Japan, it was just a matter of time before.he would have convinced his generals. The war would not have raged on for much longer.

War is a dirty business, but even then dropping the atomic bomb on HIroshima and on Nagasaki was considered by many to be morally wrong an unjustifiable, as were the firebombings of other cities, such as Tokyo. These were as much warcrimes as the ones perpetrated by the Axis powers. The difference is that the Allies got away with many of these warcrimes, because as the victors they were in a position to get away with them.

Ubuntu became irrelevant when it adopted idiocies such as systemd and netplan, so I am not surprised.

"I understand how people may feel, but that doesn't mean I should be locked up," McCullough said... "Did I break the law? No. I may have been rude," he added. "I understand people may feel jittery, but where peoples' feelings start my rights don't stop...."

Actually, one person's rights and freedoms end where those of others begin. He was violating the right to privacy of others, so it seems crystal clear to me that he was in the wrong.

Again Poettering is trying to solve a problem that does not exist and the weak-minded fall for it all over again.

Systemd is a piece of crap, and the sooner we get rid of it the better. It violates the very nature of what is called UNIX: instead of doing one thing and doing it well, it tries do do everything, and very poorly at that. Add this to the already long list of everything...

"You are unauthorized. Your death will now be implemented. You will feel a tinglng sensation and then death."

Technology will finally be able to tell people that the decade is not over yet.

The "if you're not with us, you're with them" argument is very shaky grounds for a good discussion. It basically polarizes the parties into two groups.

Wrong. The EU -does- have a parliament elected by the people directly.

Get your facts straight.

Having said that, I believe this is a dark day for an open internet in the EU.

Systemd has no merits. The sooner it is sent to /dev/null, the better.

Systemd - do everything badly, preferably all at once, svchost style.
Init - do one thing that you're good at, compliant with the true UNIX philsosophy.

Ask again later.

CDE was opensourced a while ago as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
