Just passin’ through
not only do you have to setup the infrastructure to host multiple repositories (deb, rpm), you also have to build and deploy multiple packages of sufficient quality that you don’t break something else, which for a common/popular package would make the malware immediately noticeable.
All of the examples you just gave are not victimless crimes. Besriality is an abuse of power and at best coercion but more normally just straight up animal sexual abuse. Absence of consent is just rape, and children can’t consent to sexual activity. Unless you dont consider animals, people, or children to be capable of being victims none of those are victimless.
Kinks are consensual, that is the difference.
im not a marxist-leninist but this is a pretty braindead take

a lot of indigenous cultures have really interesting cultural perspectives on gender. i think id enjoy traveling and connecting with people all over the world and immortalizing their stories in me
It’s gonna be tough being a queer POC but I’d probably just be a sidequest queen and travel the world doing random shit, trying not to stay in the same place for too long and not return until i can reasonably claim to be my own child
Im assuiming doctor who rules where just dont interact with yourself
I love my team and the people I work with; they’re awesome and why I’ve stayed at my current company (and yes my manager and ever his manager are included in this).
I hate that they’re shoving AI down our throats and is the primary reason I will be searching for a new job once I finish my degree.
Speak softly, but carry a big stick.
A 9mm would be preferred at least.
Yes and no.
Yes becuse our new C-suites are pushing it heavily and my boss (who only cares that we use AI as much as we need to not draw ire) has warned AI usage is a tracked metric that may be used for perfamnce reviews, bonuses, promotions, and raises.
No because I know my immediate chain of command does not fully believe in AI or are skeptics, and when the bubble bursts the price per token is going to slyrocket. Suddenly minimal AI usage as a tracked metric will probably look pretty good.
Either way once I’ve finished up certain things I intend to look for a new job. I love my team but I fear the writing is on the wall, and even if they try to reverse course I’m skeptical that the company will be able to.
Slight correction: the contemporaneous usage of the word lesbian in the queer community does not specifically say it is wlw, but that it is femme/non-masculine attraction to femininity/non-masculinity. In that sense it may be more closely aligned with being sapphic than strictly wlw.
As a trans person in the US, i believe they knew as far as they had accepted the idea of revolutionary suicide. Why did I bring up I was trans? because i intend to soon start medically transitioning and I have to question if i want to legally transition as well, and to what degree because the laws in the US are making it increasingly difficult to legally exist as a trans person. Either I repress myself and exist to conform or i live as myself and risk death/rape for that. and even in the former case it is unlikely i exist without scrutiny or repercussion given the fact I’m clearly not quiet about this.
similarly if you are an activist or revolutionary on that level you have to accept that the state is trying to suppress if not kill you; either you repress your own grievances and continue to let exploitation happen unchecked or you fight back and likely pay with your life. But again, anyone willing to consider the latter is still likely to face repercussions even if they choose the former. choosing to exist or operate outside of the hegemonic system of thought will lead to oppression in all forms, and anyone who is pragmatic will understand that being faced with that option typically means you have already gone too far to turn back. You either rebel or capitulate, and being a bootlicker doesn’t mean you live longer it just means you’ll be remembered as a traitor.
Thus i believe MLK, Malcom X, and Fred Hampton all knew they were going to die even if they did everything to prevent that outcome, but I don’t believe they knew they would die when they did though. At least for Fred Hampton he had a son and a wife; while i dont imagine myself having children i cannot fathom that someone with so much empathy could stomach the idea of leaving their child behind if they could prevent it.
I will push back on this a bit because Debian is great, but point release distros like Debian that focus on stability can be incredibly behind on important updates that include features users will want. I personally recommend Fedora to start because imo it’s the best of both worlds for new penguins and greybeards alike.
This is unfortunately true. Despite having an IT admin as a dad, it only taught me how to more effectively circumvent censorship. I went as far as using the 3DS browser to access stuff I wasn’t supposed to
just because people can give criticism does not mean the system actually accepts criticism or even that it does not retaliate against such criticism. yes there are instances where criticism has led to genuine change (easy example is “The Jungle”), but for every instance of successful criticism i argue there are hundres, thousands, even millions of instances where said criticism has led to the harassment and discrimination; tenfold if the person was a minority in any capacity. by and large american media, industry, government, and society has suppressed any and all forms of criticism or even nonhegemonic thought until its existence has been so normalized amongst cishet white peoplr that they finally let it exist in a heavily moderated and monetized manner. this can be seen time and time again with hayes codes, mccarthyism, the civil rights movement, the suffrage movement, queer acceptance, trans acceptance, the war on drugs, 9/11 and the wars in the middle east. we are actively seeing it right now; you cannot look at the NYT, Time magazone, the WSP, CNN, or any major American media institution and tell me that they are actually free press. At best they are controlled opposition. this is not a conspiracy theory, these are documented facts1. This has only gotten worse as more tech CEOs have bought more and more news and media companies. anyone who actually reports on important, topical information in a way that is contradictory to the Americam hegemonic system of thought has been target, oppressed, and even sanctioned2. Mainstream media has enjoyed a degree of freedom allowed by the understanding that maintaining the visage of a free press was important, the current high profile cases as of late3 are realistically the exception correcting itself.
America is not free, has never been free, and will never be free until the system is radically and fundamentally changed. The ideals expressed in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution are noble, but the implementation of those beliefs were created by entitled white men who encoded racism, misogyny, bigotry, and hatred into the DNA of the country. At one point there may have been an opportunity to change the direction of America to actually align with the values it professed, but much like a cancer that has metastasized to every part of the body any effective treatment would be lethal; America cannot both exist and actually improve. From the moment this country was built on stolen land we have placed ourselves on fhe wrong side of hidtory, and what has become evident now has always been evident to black, brown, queer, and disabled people. It is not a few apples that are rotten; the barrel itself has rotted.

The US never did. The American media has been lying to people for over a century and people have been pointing that out just as long. Now the media is so horrifically corrupt that everyone is starting to notice it, not just minorities or queer people.
Tha k you for being a considerate ally
Leave out the grandchildren bit, it’s unnecessary, condescending, and presumptive. Grandchildren shouldn’t be expected (unless a person has expressed a desire to have children) and is completely irrelevant for such a conversation.
As a trans person i think I’d sooner transition from beign British than my gender
I personally recommend Fedora KDE. It’s polished and set up reasonably for the average person so you should never need to even open the terminal (you might need to fiddle with some stuff like enabling flatpacks but thats all sone in a GUI application), and it’s reasonably up to date withour shipping broken packages.
