The problem is that the core issue is the mind and these “peace” type arguments date back thousands of years, even in 340s AD in China’s Annals of Lu Buwei you find these same people not addressing their own minds and preaching “peace” or passivsem. The reality is if you bring up reasonable things they can do, such as not promoting egotism or having a materialistic views of everything which directly lead to a lack of what they feel is “peace”, it just goes over their head and they get angry. Again this is has been going on with these people for thousands of years now. So rather than some fake form of peace that doesn’t work, how about addressing the underlying causes of suffering for everyone instead and stop rejecting them?

Did they solve peace? AFAIK there have been wars since, and having grown up with these people I know first hand they’re anything but peaceful.

It’s just hypocritical anyway, just telling people to be peaceful doesn’t address the underlying causes at all and the same people aren’t “peaceful” in their personal live either. They’re confused and in fact reject any clear understandings of what actually causes peace to begin with.

If you’re black for example, you’re treated like you have a low score, yet you can’t do anything about it.

I think after Best Internet exited he likely did quite well, it’s possible he’s just doing DragonFly as a full time hobby. But I have no idea.

Every time I read about DragonFly I’m never quite sure what it can do that’s different than other OSes that makes it interesting. The best I can tell it’s just that some of the subsystems are different and it’s more of an experiment for under the hood OS features.

I’d agree, he’s quite insightful and a very creative engineer that is quite rare and few can match, sadly he also has a Gordon Gecko side too.

I would actually, because it sets a bar that if you’d like your book to be preserved then you need to make a choice, is your book so valuable that it should be free? If not, there’s plenty of other places for DRM books. What they’re doing instead is trying to have it both ways.

The whole project is about preserving information for current and future generations, so what place does limiting the availability of it have in history? It’s more likely it’ll just be lost due to DRM when no one can figure it out in the future. It’s the digital equivalent of losing the books, though due to someone being more concerned about their pocket book today than for future generations.

It’s amazing how little we understand about things right in front of our faces like this. These are essentially like wolf run kingdoms not that different than humans.

My other thought is how surprised their wolf scientist will be when they discover humans too have orginzed into territories like them. :)

Agreed as well, though there is also the case of communicating the high level flows to others that are not software experts so that everyone has a common understanding and doesn’t have to rely on a few key developers with the knowledge. Most smart folk who aren’t developers reason pretty well about architectures so you want them to be self sufficient too.

Agreed. It’s also that there needs to be cultural changes in many cases, short term views are ingrained in many cultures and pointing out a fault in someone’s culture isn’t something people are open to no matter how dire the consequences are.

Big retailers are dead set on not supporting their competition, valid reasoning or not, you won’t find them on AWS for that reason alone.

Azure’s main feature is that it’s not connected to Amazon retail and they’re committed to Windows. So their clients are often in it for the long haul good or bad, those who can switch do.

If you can link the fall of democracy to misinformation being spread on their platform, genocide and mob murders, yes I’d say not all tech companies are that bad.
