I hear your claims and raise you: The internet is for cat videos.

Depends on which, um, “plumbing” you got down there.

If only if burnt a couple decades earlier. A bit too late there mate.

Okay, even if I grant you that, does everyone in the Chinese government have to sell their labour-power for a wage, aka the definition of a proletariat?

Unrelated, but I absolutely adore your pfp.

I see your point, but we shouldn’t allow corporate interests with comedic amount of economic capital to simply take over an entire project through what basically is ye olde EEE tactics.

That’s kinda the point. If we can’t have economic growth without considering the humanistic aspect of it, then maybe we don’t deserve said economic growth.

Does the “Don’t Track Me Google” userscript still work?

Or on the X Window System: ⇧ Shift+AltGr (aka. multi key), then - - .

I would not say life can’t be lived without it, but it’s more so that Facebook has so successfully commodified the public sphere that it seems almost like a natural, inherent part of contemporary communicative actions.

I completely agree.

I apologise for the misunderstanding. What I meant was that if people would trust businesspeople over natural scientists in matters of social issues, that is already bad, but if people would trust businesspeopls over social scientists in matters of social issues, that’s a significantly worse judgement to make.

What kind of scientists? Natural scientists, or social scientists? Cuz both are horrible, but one’s significantly more horrifying than the other.

Edit: I apologise for the misunderstanding. English is not my first language. What I meant was that if people would trust businesspeople over natural scientists in matters of social issues, that is already bad, but if people would trust businesspeopls over social scientists in matters of social issues, that’s a significantly worse judgement to make.

Maybe I’m just being optimistic, but I trust Torvalds. The same can’t be said about the typical vibe-coder, though.

“No way to stop this” says the person actively making this happen.

Ah, cognate to the German „Fach“ and the English “fact”. That makes sense.

And the reactionaries tends to campaign by painting the educated, the scholars, the researchers, and the professors as the enemy. Wonder why, huh?

I just wish they’d realise sooner. Imho nobody is born an arsehole, they have that instilled upon them. If only we could break that cycle…

A kind reminder that the internet, the world wide web, and TCP/IP were all invented by a public-civic partnership, not the private sector.

Genuine question from someone equally amateurish. What use is reverse proxy in this setup? What necessitated it instead of just a direct connection?
