  • I was on Arch for two years, then on nix for another two (to be fair, now I can say I liked Arch better). After that I recently went back to fedora (which I used before I switched to arch), because I decided that if any problems show up on my pc I want it to be 99% not my fault. I basically learned to value stability over versitality, even though that’s kind of the opposite of why I started using linux in the first place lol




  • I don’t know… I’ve always found Kaczinsky an interesting guy, but now that I’m around halfway through his book, I find his arguements surprisingly weak as in he doesn’t really put a lot of effort into justifying the basics. He just goes on to say “yeah obfuscating the process of survival is bad” and sure I can see how some people might find hunting rabbits with bows more fulfilling than looking at Excel all day but if you don’t accept that immediately then his arguements become pretty weak.

    There is no such thing as a banana seed. All banana types are singular lineages of clones. All bananas of a certain type (currently cavendish is the one exported to all around the world) are the same genetically, that’s why they are so susceptible to colony-destroying fungal infections.

    edit: i meant commercial banana types, as we were talking about the preservation of those.




  • I’d say the joke isn’t just about Turing being out of character by characterizing himself in a way he really wasn’t (as in he didn’t really go around saying he was gay, but the UK government made a big deal out of it), but mostly about him being more interested in technological progress that solved something he might have cared about just a bit instead of his own field of research, which he most certainly cared about a lot.

    I get that you are concerned, I just think it’s a bit of an overreaction on a site where neither OP nor probably anyone else seeing this meme thought “haha it’s funny because he was gay as in going to hell”.
