Because it's decentralised and not-for-profit 😏

@gabriel
But what a lot of conservatives want, at least it seems so from the sidelines, is humans to be also bred on industrial scale with disregard for everything else. Want to give you future kid proper education, don't want you living conditions to degrade drastically with childbirth? Don't care! Make babies — we need cheaper workforce, we need more taxpayers! That is why it's met with opposition, not because "Killing babies is cool, let's do it!!!"

@gabriel
Because the wording in your original response could've been better: humans aren't bred on industrial scale that is why they should be treated differently — this is what you mean, at least that's the way I see it.
There are ways to go from here: one might say that animals should not be bred on industrial scale either — and you might agree noting that this should not be done at the cost of sacrificing human lives, that's reasonable IMO.

@ozzelot
I read an article on TheReg about it being superseded with "AI" soon, that should definitely fix it 😏
Woo-hoo!!! Right? 😫

@iska
I just had a sort of pilaf with pork and bulgur. And that made me super happy because it took hours to make it and bean soup, and I had no breakfast 😅

Our cat hoards pens, and this is what I found in his toybox today 🙄

The clicky one in the middle is his favourite, and I've been looking for that #StarTrek pen for ages!!

This is why I'm no longer using Gentoo — not because it's particularly hard, flexibility is of course cool, but the amount of time and effort you have to put into it is disproportionate as with Gentoo you are taking maintainer's job. I'm not using Debian for other reasons, but distros like that are okay, not having latest versions of software at the cost of lower maintenance is okay.

@condret
No, it's not what this means. First and foremost, I'm my computer's user, not its serviceman. There is a reasonable amount of effort I'm willing to put into keeping it in shape. If "features" that come with updates bring more trouble than possible security vulnerabilities — fuck updates! Cost-benefit works in exact same way everywhere.

@splitshockvirus
Yeah, these look good! Again, there aren't enough clinical studies, but Chondrotin+MSM is generally recommended for joints. Check out different brands, with supplements less expensive doesn't necessary mean worse as it's all highly individual, try taking this and that and see what works best for you.

@get
Look, thread mute button — it's right there… or are you what they call a tsundere and just want attention? 😏

Yeah, I doubt it's a night and day difference, but it's something worth keeping in mind. My machine also hosts a Pleroma instance, having PostgreSQL DB obviously leads to heavy disk I/O too. In my case storage becomes a bottleneck, I might sacrifice 4.0's lower CPU usage for having a more balanced system.

@splitshockvirus
Good, keep it up!
Give SAMe a try too. There aren't enough clinical studies, but it could be good for joint health. I've been taking it regularly a few years ago for different reasons — liver health, but my joints felt much healthier at the time. Could be a mere coincidence, could be that I'm getting older and being less physically active nowadays, or… It could indeed be good for joints.
It's more expensive than most vitamins, but not too expensive, check it out.

@ParadeGrotesque
I can neither confirm, not deny it yet, as when I build 3.0 with the same set of libraries and with the same gcc, it results in a segfaulting binary — seems peculiar, but not uncommon as support for 32-bit PowerPC in compilers and tooling is spotty nowadays, lots of bugs!
In any case, this seems worth investigating.

@ParadeGrotesque
Ha-ha-ha-ha! Yes, those are different, names libtorrent and libtorrent-rasterbar are often used to distinguish the two.
Another thing that might be of interest: I've seen opinions on Transmission's issue tracker that while 4.0 branch might be lighter on CPU and RAM usage, it could be heavier on disk I/O and indeed, on old PowerPC MacMini with "spinning rust" storage that hosts transmission-daemon for me, I often observe low CPU load, but system being in "waiting for I/O" state.

@condret
It gets so bad: you can buy a book on some technology/library/programming language published just 2 years ago and it's already part-irrelevant. If security updates would keep getting abused to push features, I expect people to stop updating and we get botnets again.
Providing updates for 2-3 major versions was a good practice — free software devs of course don't have the luxury to do it, but distros can and IMO should!

"We've changed the APIs so you can no longer use older version of the client, but we've also revamped the UI and you have to learn using our software again — we've also removed a couple of features you might've used while we we're at it, tehe😊"
This being stuck in a permanent feature update loop is the single thing I absolutely loathe about modern tech. Instead of using the software you have to start servicing it.

@Forestofenchantment @get @Suiseiseki @nyanide @sysrq @enigmatico

@condret
And the justification was: there is this new serialiser in JS that I'd like to use, so you guys have to update FF — WTF?! 🤯
They have backtracked on it, but only because this case got a bad publicity.
Software indeed got stable, but feature creep got so much worse, and it's not about free software only — proprietary paid-for software became like that too!
