The world is such a sad place to live. This comes from USA, just think about all the third world countries, it’s not any better but worse sadly.

Wow that article was a ride. I feel so happy to not have used windows in the past 5 or so years.

“I was at house eating dorito when phone ring”

Unless you could link a credible source it’s hard to accept this as anything more than a mere opinion

There’s very less evidence to support that. I can only recall one incident where a blanket infected with small pox was handed out to a tribe and the officer who did that was later severely reprimanded.

But anyhow, I am not trying to downplay the ill intent of European settlers, I will just quote this here “history is written by victors”. The blanket incident is all I recall about deliberate disease spreading. who really knows? How many hundreds of such incidents went unreported?

To be fair more people died from the diseases brought by the settlers.

Reminds me of the songs from “the hobbit”. Ah the nostalgia!

Is this an online quiz? I wanna take it

Plot twist: you elder brother has been the lead KDE propagandist all along.

Yeah that’s totally not a worse death.

I was actually refering to the headline in the picture but yeah this is an interesting piece of information too, I know the post’s title was sarcastic but didn’t know it was such a thoughtful joke haha

I have never contributed directly to open source, perhaps because I have never felt truly confident about my programming skills. But I have always done all that I can - starring repos I like, helping beginners with linux related issues, contributing to discussions in forums, promoting foss in a friendly way wherever I can and leaving feedback and reports wherever I can.

I guess it’s something Yet I find my mind wandering sometimes If I am contributing enough.

Right, it makes sense to me now. The double “as” was definitely confusing, but “identified” instead of “named” immediately made the sentence clear. Thanks.

Is it me or the headline is worded strangely?

Ah yes enslaved chromium

I have never been more sad to waste 30 seconds of my life to a spam ad trying to understand it if it was a hidden meme :(

Lol that’s a pretty fun idea actually- just to see the commits evolve over time. I know there are over 1 million commits but yeah when you think about it all of them pretty much document the state of kernel at that time.

Some glance at the comments in the video tells me that this video aged like wine, the guy might be harassing coworkers. I say might because, I am not 100% sure.

It makes sense, I agree but speaking from personal experience from India where this positive discrimination called reservation exists, just leads to horrible segregation, it flares up every now and then in people. People from high castes always curse the lower ones for not getting their “supposed government job” that they should have gotten. Such measures should be entirely based on economic status and not some birth status. I say this because I know plenty of rich but lower caste people who have terribly exploited this system.

I also agree that in the end, matters relating to such birth statuses are complicated. If only humans could co exist all peacefully but alas.

Ok Richard
