  • Yeah, I want to act like that is what I meant, but I was confusing astronomy with astrology and was talking out my ass.

    Astronomy is pretty cool, even if it’s complicated. Maybe I can say that because I’m still at the “looking at cool pictures” phase. I had to google what an HRD even is, and I still don’t fully get it, but I get that it categorizes stars into their size and heat.

    It might not be an ice breaker at the first date, but when the relationship is more established this can be a pretty good topic.





  • That is not a feature of proprietary software. That is a feature of an organisation. It only makes sense to make software for a profit in an organisation, so that’s why there’s so many of those. FOSS also has a lot of organisations, which are also pretty often used btw, but they are not required.

    Not having to rely on an approval by any entity is a big thing for people fucking around with stuff. And fucking around with stuff makes one good at that stuff.










  • The choice was between a very selective sheep herder and a very nonselective sheep eater. Not wanting to watch some of the sheep get all the good stuff, they decided on the sheep eater. While being exceptionally cruel to them, this one is also being exceptionally cruel towards the sheep favoured by the herder, so in their perspective, not much was lost.



  • Yes, its a very sad dilemma.

    I believed for quite a long time (living in Germany) that this state of “peace by codependency” could be extended, even maybe applied worldwide, but I’m not so sure anymore. I still want this to be true, however.

    But a defenseless state is still a very nice target. I’m not so blind as to miss both sides of the US protection, and the limitations and freedoms that come with it.



  • Demons run when a good man goes to war
    Night will fall and drown the sun
    When a good man goes to war
    Friendship dies and true love lies
    Night will fall and the dark will rise
    When a good man goes to war
    Demon’s Run, but count the cost
    The battle’s won but the child is lost

    Nothing good happens when a good man goes to war

    But I also like the saying “If you want peace prepare for war”. War is not the right choice, but it’s seldom yours.
