Because they are generally correct and it makes you mad? X is a cesspool. Anyone who cites it is as proof for anything beyond how bad the Internet sucks is, at least as far as I'm concerned, not credible in the slightest.

Where in this thread was the implication that "no other opinion is valid"? You're just mad that OP is generally correct, and instead of responding with anything that resembled a coherent well thought out reply that supported your opinion you just shouted "NAAAAH AAAAAAAAAH" and confidently hit submit.

hasbara bro, you seem to forget what's happening in Ukraine is happening in spite of your little wars in the middle east, not because of it. Why did you switch to Ukraine, and not discussing the great deal with Iran anymore, eh?

Is it because in the end it turned out, as you were told, much, much worse than the Obama deal? Or has bibi decided he doesn't need you anymore?

LOL, what a loser you are.

Pray harder!

Who are you arguing with?

Youre equating those two things? Ugh. Crypto can’t die fast enough. It was an interesting idea, for sure, but it simply didn’t work out and its gotten wwwaayyy out of hand. Cash isnt going away, not in the western countries. Electronic is fine for 99% of transactions but the other 1% use cases are important enough to keep cash alive.

If youre a privacy purist worrying about your ability to keep your transactions totally private, well, I respect your right to hold your own opinions but you’ve chosen an impossible hill to die on. You’ve already lost. That horse left the barn decades ago.

Exactly the way I said you would too. You don't call me a luddite because I already pointed that out and it would be too obvious if you use the word so instead you completely ignore the points I made and instead pretend I argued that we should go all Amish and ban technology.

This way you can avoid having to deal with the social implications of work shortages. You even at the end managed to shift the blame to the people losing their jobs and their livelihoods.

This way as society collapses around you as long as you aren't personally affected you don't have to do anything. I mean anything except talk about how fucking awesome you are and how much everybody else are lazy and shiftless.

All I can say is you better hope you die of old age before the effects of your line of thought come home to roost. You can only ignore the collapse of human civilization for so long. Especially when people with literally trillions of dollars are making it happen sooner. I used to think guys like you would get away with it but Elon Musk and the rest of those pieces of shit have accelerated things so much I don't think he will anymore.

We do. I'd bet you'll find Squid somewhere in most large orgs. Lots of things can replace various parts of it, but it remains a super handy swiss army knife for dealing with most things HTTPS.

At one time, Squid was also the core of at least one big public CDN's product I know of. What they run now has diverged a ton and I heard they purged all remaining squid project code at one point, but it was recognizably descended from squid for quite a while.

Cash isn't going anywhere. Cryptocurrency might. It is primarily used for money laundering and crime.

Honestly if they just crack down on the money laundering it goes away overnight.

Truth has a well-known left bias.

Logically the opposite: as soon as cash is gone, taxes are going to decrease because economic activity can't avoid paying taxes by escaping into the grey zone so easily, and hence the people formerly dodging taxes will start paying their share.

At some point, it stops being a mob and starts being a vote. And while it makes sense to not allow people to drag random folks onto the platform just to vote your way, it doesn't make sense to limit voting on an important issue to the 0.1% of users who pay close enough attention to notice. So I can see both sides on this one.

Maybe the right thing to do is to require a certain level of activity to earn the right to vote, then dump the canvassing rules. That way, any canvassing would only serve to increase turnout, rather than truly padding the ballot box.

This would strengthen the echo chamber effect, where people only hear things that reinforce what they already believe, and make it harder for voices correcting fake news to be heard.

You'd think that if you've never compared a gaming optimised Linux build to other normal distributions. There's a reason people are going out of their way to run SteamOS builds on their PCs already, or shoehorning the SteamOS optimisations into Bazzlite linux.

No thanks. We shouldn't lock custom innovations to specific products. Tuning and optimising is one thing. But innovations should be available to PC builders too. Incidentally this thing has a purpose. You can always build better for less (assuming you can actually buy RAM right now), but the competition here isn't our high end gaming rigs or even our budget home built rigs. The competition is store bought pre-built gaming rigs, and there the Steam Machine is pretty damn competitive.
