But the anti-authoritarians demand that the political state be abolished at one stroke, even before the social conditions that gave birth to it have been destroyed. They demand that the first act of the social revolution shall be the abolition of authority. Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon…
I remember having to read this for a political philosophy class years ago. I came across it again today and despite the 19th century references it seems somewhat relevant to some of the political rhetoric being used in the last few years.

Any website that claims to do CPU benchmarking, but doesn’t give proper consideration to multi-core performance, is simply garbage. That is all.

I know the DM has some pretty dire reporters, and print some really tripe (rubbish) sometimes but this takes it up a level.

Agreed, but what ought I do about it? Insist that a whole school or district, which includes thousands of other people, use the software I like? I like you FSF… But you’re crazy.
Is your school forcing you to use Zoom, Skype, or other proprietary videoconferencing software to learn or teach? That's a violation of your educat...

Interesting fact of the day: The term "patching" software originates from the fact that you would literally patch holes in early hole punch input in order to fix an issue. Attached is a picture with such patches on it from the Harvard Mark I computer.
