@veer66 I read Kant when I was younger, but I grew dissatisfied with him, because he tends to cheat in order to reach his desired conclusions.

Have you read Kropotkin? You may find what you're looking for in his book _The Conquest of Bread_:

@tafol El problema es más filosófico que de licencias.

Cuando la gente habla de “open source” se refiere a algo que, efectivamente tiene su código en algún repositorio público en alguna parte, pero eso, por sí mismo, no lo hace accesible a la mayoría para poder compilarlo, modificarlo o simplemente estudiarlo. Pienso, por ejemplo, en Android o en casi cualquier producto de Google. ¿Cuánta gente es capaz de instalar Android a partir del código fuente? Muy poca. A efectos prácticos, es lo mismo que Windows en PC: el SO que viene preinstalado por defecto.

Código abierto es un término de _marketing_. Software libre implica un compromiso con la sociedad: pongo mi código y mi tiempo (escribiendo documentación, dando soporte) a disposición de todos porque creo que les puede ser útil, no porque superficialmente me diferencie de otra aplicación o sistema operativo que no son abiertos y eso me haga parecer más juvenil y desenfadado.

@ayo I don't use PA either, but apparently I need it installed, even though it's not running, to have a functioning PipeWire.

@veer66 I was just kidding. Anyway, how does being a religious fundamentalist reconcile with being a leftist? I'm curious.

@ayo How to configure ALSA with PipeWire and whether it was possible without PulseAudio.

Everyone has the vague idea that cell phones made the world a dumber place, but the reasons why are usually vague. I know the reason: it's because cell phones have radically altered the bathroom.

It used to be possible to roll up a newspaper under your arm and take a one-hour shit in perfect silence. This is when people have their best ideas, the ideas that move all their other ideas forward: when you are doing one thing and that thing is nothing.

That's how it all went sideways, man. Your fuckin' phone buzzes. Is it your side hustle, or is someone spamming you to promote their side hustle? Someone's knocking at the door. Music starts playing: the woman said you were crazy for declaring the waterproof bluetooth shower speaker "an abomination before the Lord", but now she has clicked the wrong shit and some douchebags' fucking podcast about AI startups is stopping you from staring blankly at the wall in peace. An alert on the phone: overdraft fees triggered by microtransactions. The only thoughts you have had in that room for months are about which politicians to kill to bring back peaceful shits.

This is how we used to take dumps back in the day and it was FINE:

@veer66 Fundamentalist, how? You want to kill all non-Buddhists?

@veer66 Maybe you're an anarchist? Do you believe in mutual aid? Are you a pacifist? Are you a humanist (do you believe in the fundamental value of all human beings regardless of race, sex, nationality, religion or anything else)? Do you reject politics (i.e., the notion that, while politicians may set the conditions under which you live, they don't rule over you) and organised religion (as in, your moral actions are not defined by the expectation of a reward or the avoidance of a punishment)?

If so, then you're probably an anarchist.

@nachocarreras Si este subnormal cree que esa táctica le puede dar resultado, habría que preguntarse qué habría hecho él si un soldado nazi le hubiera pedido que matara a un amigo que se escondiera en el gueto.

I don't know what you're talking about, but as a fan of redheads I'm not playing that shit.

@deyvisdiaz Para tus archivos de audio, entiendo, que es de lo que se trata. Aunque si lo quieres usar para todos, no seré yo quien te lo impida.

@podcastlinux Al hilo de lo que comentas, una forma muy útil de trabajar con archivos .iso es simplemente montarlos como quien monta un CD:

`mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop,noauto archivo.iso /mnt/mi-iso`

Por supuesto, se puede jugar con las opciones (`-o`) o con el directorio de montaje. `man mount` es nuestra amiga.

Es algo que me resulta muy útil para instalar TeXLive, por ejemplo. Me bajo el archivo .iso y no tengo que pasarlo a ningún otro soporte. Instalo desde el disco duro y, cuando termino, desmonto y borro el archivo.

An anarchist is a man who is careful to always use pedestrian crossings, because he utterly detests talking with policemen.

Read this thread for an example on how a harmless gardening post can turn into a brutally racist tirade for no reason other than, you know, Texas.

@veer66 Common Lisp is like _The Godfather_ saga. It's already perfect as it is. There's no need to make it a trilogy.
