Hacker "JaXpArO" says, "FUCK TRUMP. FUCK COLONIZERS & CAPITALISTS. DEATH TO AMERIKKKA" (sic). https://www.wired.com/story/ga.... But while irresponsible actors in the media lazily attack Gab as "far-right," they appear to not consider the above at all problematic or extremist.

The problem is that there is no "common good," as you cannot get universal agreement and consent on what this actually is, if anything. It always ends up as an imposition of one party's morality upon another's, by force. And the means to achieve these unstable and divisive ends are also subject to extreme disagreement.

The government adds more and more entitlements, the income threshold (never mind if someone is wealthy but simply out of work) always rises, and people forget that something wasn't always funded by the taxpayer, and want their free stuff no matter what. The debt is astronomical, the deficit is the size of a planet, and no one cares about the economic collapse that must occur at some point, as long as they get their goodie narcotics. And then everyone will, very belatedly, have a sane perspective on the world.

Surprised having issues with Debian. My impression is that it's very difficult to configure for normies, but that it's rock solid once that gets done. Never used Debian proper though.

Open-source drivers like Mesa don't work, or they work just without 3D acceleration?

Not sure what you mean by "core linux." Ubuntu isn't easy to use? I don't see proprietary drivers as an inherent problem.

ChromeOS is slightly unstable, in that it will just crash every now and then when while in sleep. Also, Crostini tends to corrupt itself over time, a la Windows 9x, and is limited in abilities compared to an actual Linux install. There's really nothing special about ChomeOS that Linux can't do way better, and just as simply, depending on the distro. Google Docs is still weird and janky, and I wouldn't want all of my documents accessible to Google.

Incompetent Techspot "journalist" is incompetent. I don't know where they find these people; clearly not from /. Then again, writing about what you know nothing about, and having zero research skills...that's the norm.

Giant mega-corps will greatly aid in writing the legislation that may be added to the Federal Code. If this happens, you can bet that the law will be written to play to their strengths, e.g. money and legal departments, and will marginally damage competitors, and would-be but now won't be competitors, to a much greater extent, who have far less resources, or even at first, close to none. Such rules will also play to the political bias' of those corporations who often write the legislation themselves. The dystopian effects of such proposed legal constrictions should be evident.

They are of above average IQ, but seem drawn to movements that are anti-establishment, even if often of conflicting ideologies. They're needy opportunistic followers, and as such can be insanely gullible. If they are a member of a rational, sensible movement, it's because it feeds their need to be superior in knowledge and judgment over everyone outside of the movement, and will just as easily bounce back and forth between the rational and sensible that exist outside of them, and the irrational and most foolish.

No. I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but the reason contracts exist is to enact what is essentially reciprocal private law, not what I think you mean by "naturally," common-law.

A contract of adhesion does not automatically render a contract voidable. It's very very (very) rare that it would be found automatically invalid.

"If a company's online service is open to 13-year-olds, as many are, then the terms of use need to be written so an eighth grader can understand them."

A 13-year old is not considered legally competent to enter into a binding contract, and can be voided by the minor.

What if there isn't a white criminal who did the same or equivalent crime that week?

As a former reader of the Boston Globe, a newspaper that was still lauding Hugo Chavez well into him being an openly evil dictator, I am not surprised; wonder if that's been memory-holed.

As a Jew, I find that Jew's comparison to National Socialism disgusting, reprehensible, and ideologically motivated. Also, his prior comments suggest, surprise surprise, that he may also be racist.
