Sometimes, it's just not possible nor reasonably doable. As seen above, with proprietary drivers...

That's a good way to screw over poor people who have to commute..

Regardless of whether our nations are corrupt, it makes no sense to consider NK "rational" with all the... executing an official with an anti-aircraft gun because he fell asleep, the cult of personality... Un is volatile. But yeah, the sanctions are useless and just make everything worse. We should've already learned from WW2. Sanctions only helped the Nazi regime succeed.

People who try to defend such harmful behavior may be trying to fight identity politics and radical feminism, but it's very counterproductive towards that. They're just confirming that what feminists say is true.

That doesn't mean that there isn't room for improvement, or that it has to be a certain level of bad to become an actual problem. That guy's behavior was very annoying. Even that sort of spoofing/identity fraud is pretty scummish.. maybe a few times it's not really an issue worthy of law enforcement, but constantly for years and years?

It's 2017. It's about time we had a better, well designed language (ie Rust, but I'm not sure if it's well designed enough, depends on what you want it for, too). There have been many advances in language research since the 70's that could be very useful for the kind of work C is used for. Saying we should stick to C because it's well established is like saying we should stick to assembly if it was well established. Except it's not portable, but close enough.

I think the government is made of tyrannical despots, but this incident seems pretty harmless, unlike what's happening at Flint.

My parents referred to it as such. Meh, most people think it's crap anyway, so of course I'm going to be uncomfortable playing music around other people. Probably not that big of a deal anyway.. How is it "self righteous"?

It'd possibly be better for your son to respect his taste in music, and not dismiss it as crap.

I had listened to black metal for years, and avoid all of it with racist messages yet I even have listened to Burzum (mostly Filosofem), which doesn't itself have any racist messages I am aware of. Not like I listen for the lyrics. But it can be a "danger" since I did read into some of the shit Varg has written.. but the great majority of the music has no racist messages.

I was really into Darkthrone and still think they're okay, and I have nothing against any race or ethnicity.

Just one that I am aware of, and they apologized later, was their comment about "Jewish behavior".

Also, this:

    Den Norrøne Rase må Slakte den andre
    når blåmenn dunker for tungt på vår dør

Other than that, I don't know of anything else.

Being concerned over it sounds like wanting to ban violent videogames, overprotective. Like hardcore Christian parents against their children listening to rock music, but maybe not as much since black metal is basically how those kinds of hardcore Christians see normal rock music.

Mostly just "NSBM". Usually pretty easy to tell, and not the most popular bands.

It's basically like a BIOS on x86? The original is closed source, initializes the VideoCore chip?

If this matured, maybe there would be some interest in porting OpenBSD to RPi with this? Theo didn't like the firmware blob, right?..
