G.K. Chesterton on optimism, pessimism, urbanism, beauty, love, decoration, patriotism, and Exit. From Orthodoxy, my favorite book of all time.

@11112011 I have this sense that capitalism has far more interest in the creation of markets and industries than in the fulfillment of worthwhile endeavors.

I mean, barely anyone in the US does any productive labor anymore, and yet we're still a huge economy. The only answer I can come up with is that we still somehow have a lot of money to spend, and that makes us valuable to all the industries of the world that need dipshits to buy their products. It's like the cart is before the horse.

If you receive DM from a beautiful Asian girl and she asked your knowledge about crypto.

Block him.

@slash @Moon to rephrase, I'd read sometime ago that RedHat as an institution appeared to be slipping very intelligent backdoors into a lot of Linux code, with US letter agencies implicated, and wondered what the appeal of RedHat is/if there is truth to this narrative

i for sure get the motivation of using older software, tried to get Windows 7 on my new rig but have struggled to find a functional install disc I can trust

Great song, the video is a partial parody of 2004's Eric Prydz "Take On Me" remix. Hard to believe that remix is like 18 years old now.

@Moon @slash linux newb here but isn't redhat gigacucked by glowies

@bonifartius @thatguyoverthere on the plus side, you develop a shadow economy of freethinkers who have to take risks and don't take shit

bad money drives out good

@thatguyoverthere @bonifartius might be worth checking out a few local bitcoin or HAM radio meetups, bound to be a few folks into that
