    Well, 172 nations on Earth see it like this:

    Israel is a friendly state in hostile neighbourhood…

    Hamas and Hisbollah are terrorist organisations.

    Or least they were. Nowadays we better speak in past tense about them. This bites you, doesn’t it?

    I’d rather take my ban in some hate-spreader Community with pride when justice in the real world rules over terrorism.

    No.

    Reddit rarely bans. VERY rarely.

    And NEVER for comments.

    Sure, they delete like hell. Posting something in r/news is harder than landing on the moon, same goes for r/noncredibledefence and other Reddits.

    But Lemmy is going bonkers, many high-profile Communities are held under an iron thumb like the moderators are all paid by the Axis-of-Evil (Russia, Iran, North-Korea).

    PopOS is a sure way of getting into ten times more problems than Ubuntu.

    Seriously, I know them all. Started with NetBSD in 1991, used pretty much everything.

    If your system isn’t super weird then Ubuntu is the most relaxed experience you will ever have as a newby.

    (And yes, I am not using Ubuntu currently. But then, I hat 35 years of POSIX/Unix/Linux experience)


  • I am an old timer. I started with BSD before there was even a Linux. NetBSD on an Amiga 3000 before the AT&T law suite against NetBSD, then heared about Linux which was twice as clean as NetBSD and without legal issues - Later NetBSD removed all legal issues nonetheless.

    First Linux was a Watch-Tower Distribution, basically a big RAM-Disk with a rudimentary Linux system which you copied to HD. No package manager, nothing. tar, make was the way to do installations. Shortly after Slackware and SuSE which basically was the same back then. Then a lot of SuSE then Debian, then Ubuntu. Don’t care much about the distribution nowadays as long as it is DEB-based.

    But now something to scare all of you: Today my most used POSIX environment is… Cygwin. Well, I got a Windows-Notebook for development and a VM is really clunky in comparison to a fully integrated POSIX-layer like Cygwin. For developing Stuff it actually matters very little if you use BSD, Linux, Cygwin or even Solaris.


  • In 2021 I wrote a story “The Typo which saved humanity” on Reddit and it exploded to 3000 upvotes in less than a day. A couple of years later I wrote a story “Day of the Fat Man” which got 50 upvotes. Everybody I ask considered the second one the better one.

    Then I reposted those stories on Youtube and Facebook and both got around the same upvotes, around 5k+ on each.

    Yes, Reddit has become quite dead.

    But to be honest, my stories on Lemmy got like 50 upvotes so… meh.

    No, Pacificm is not always Extremist.

    The Green party of Germany is Pacifist.

    But they also have been the loudest about rearming the German Bundeswehr in face of Russian Aggression since 2008. I cite their defence speaker from 2010: “Peace is worth fighting for”.

    Actually Mao claimed his great leap forward was “Anti-Racism” (and also Anti-Classism and whatever) because he forcefully removed all differences by murdering pretty much any one standing out. Pol Pot never claimed that but technically speaking he was doing the same: Forcefully removing everything making people different. Yes, there is “Extremist Anti-Racism”.

    Being different is as much a basic right as being treated equally.

    An interesting excursus: The Woke movement labelled it “racist” when Non-Rasta-People wore Rasta curls. I on the other hand call it racist to deny people the right to freely chose or reject traditions based on their origin. Because one side is Extremist and the other is liberal. Now tell me where the truth lies.

    There is a Bavarian Pro-Verb: Cats enjoy mice, but not me. Again, tell me where the truth lies.
