The only genocide being proposed in this thread is the mass extermination of mosquitoes.
It's easy to ignore the destruction of the environment if all you care about is optimizing for the human race at the expense of all other species.
> "he advocates mass extinction of human beings" Far from it, this is not even remotely a possibility. Mosquitoes are not threatening humanity with extinction in any conceivable way. As I stated elsewhere in this thread…
Humanity is important but humanity is not currently being threatened. If humanity were actually being threatened I would support the eradication of any species threatening it.
Waiting for economic factors to suppress the birth rate is the milquetoast approach I described earlier in this thread that is causing incredible environmental destruction. It's nothing more than an excuse to turn a…
Asbestos is rock.
I think a big part of it is a tendency of tech/engineering sorts to have an allergic reaction against any sort of tradition. Old fashioned is worse than uncool, it's dumb and outs you as an inferior mind to the…
There are plenty of communities in America that have professional fire departments. Particularly cities where there is actually a tax base to support it. You'll find volunteer fire departments in pretty much any working…
A truck being small is not incompatible with a truck being a beautiful shade of red polished to a shine. Just look at Japanese firetrucks. They have some very small trucks that look great.
Many sharks, plus bycatch, for no rational reason at all. Australian politicians vilify the animals and demand even more be killed. It's wholly irrational, as is your characterization of the sharks "menacing" the beach…
Those mosquitoes aren't invasive anywhere. Eradicating them means killing them wherever they're native as well, which is definitely what many people in this discussion are proposing. Culling invasive species wherever…
In early 2001 the Taliban banned the growth of poppies and opium export plummeted to near zero. >The first American narcotics experts to go to Afghanistan under Taliban rule have concluded that the movement's ban on…
As I've stated throughout this threat, it isn't just about mosquitoes. Honestly I would not mourn mosquitoes if every last species was exterminated. What concerns me is the social impact of further establishing humanity…
As far as I can tell, the eradication of hundreds of species of mosquitoes is being suggested by many.
The fact that you cite past animal exterminations to justify additional animal exterminations proves my point. The more species are eradicated the more normal it becomes and the more people will be willing to do it…
> "but you don't get to separate the two in the case of an OS or distribution." Actually I do get to do that. It's an important distinction because if the software isn't at fault, then a technically competent user can…
That's a problem with Arch users, not with Arch. It's unfortunately common that fanboys undermine the reputation of reasonable software.
There is an expectation that projects dogfood their own software, but I really can't think of a rational reason for a production server not affiliated with the Arch project to be running Arch. Rolling release is great…
I'm pretty sure he knows. Hence "My superpower: Taking things literally." Incidentally I'm pretty sure water snake oil is not actually a cure-all anymore than rattlesnake oil is.
Sure, but in practice it seems to work pretty well.
I don't know anything about rocks, but it's very hard for me to take this website seriously when their FAQ repeats several times word for word (https://i.imgur.com/B0VojAZ.png): >If it is not convincing enough: Recent…
The only thing it's really missing is comments, but some people consider this a feature. (Honestly though, on high quality small channels the comments will often be worth reading, so I do miss it sometimes.)
Probably because Perforce scales to truly massive monolithic repos while git traditionally doesn't (the insanity going on at Microsoft notwithstanding.) Personally I feel the best method is using lots of small repos,…
The "Simple Mobile Tools" family of apps by Tibor Kaputa (distinctive for their orange icons) are available on F-Droid and are superb. A great fusion of minimalism and functionality, they've never let me down.…
