  • It is surprising how much the landscape changed in just 5 years. All the right wing parties got a boost, but most importantly, the ultra right and christian right parties. All those are surely going to want to implement ChatControl and measures like that because “We need to protect our children!”

    I’m also scared of all the new Q-Anon type parties that last time didn’t even exist and this time won a few seats. Ultra right conspiracy theorists that now have more seats than even the pirates.

    Also look at the results from Gernany or Austria. AfD and Orban. Pro nazi and pro russian parties. We’re going back in time for a remake.


  • Master/slave indicates a relationship between two things. You can have masters and slaves in mechanics, for example. We’ve also had masters and slaves for decades in the tech field. Drives and floppy readers used to be configured in a master/slave setting. And of course, you have masters and slaves in programming.

    None of these examples have anything to do with race or human slavery. They’re just a way to describe how two things interact with each other. Human slavery is called that way because the relationship between the slaves and the masters can be described by that word, not the other way around.

    It’s clear that we should stop using racist words with racist intentions. No-one argues that human slavery should be allowed. However, in this case, there’s no intention of racism in the words, and we shouldn’t stop using words just because they can be used in a racist setting. Same thing goes with black paint. It’s clear that the word black is describing a color, and it is needed to correctly describe it.






  • I’ve been using Arch as a daily driver in my main PC. I have other PCs where I tried Manjaro and Arcolinux. I have also made a few VMs with Gentoo, but I don’t think I’m ready to daily drive that. And lately I’ve been looking at Fedora, I would like to try that and see if I install it on a PC.
