it might just be me but he lowkey looks hot
Not just you.
And he IS fine. What a handsome guy!
He’s also not a billionaire. Him and Jimmy Wales are true heroes of our time. Their work has shaped the modern world yet their fortunes are nowhere near even a single billion. It seems almost absurd and dumb on their part that they didn’t even make 1 billion in decades given their impact, but turns out that’s just the normal rate of accumulation when you don’t just sell out or steal the work of others.
This proves all billionaires are evil, abhorrent scum.
I already had like a thousand reasons before that, so…
This was my first outloud-laugh of the day. I love it.
Gotta respect my G for that
this guy wouldn’t pay for sex
Software is like sex; it’s better when it’s free. Torvalds Linus
Paying is illegal(if not filming lol)
Not in every country
But yes in my country
Your country is USA, isnt it?
Nah hehe, i’m on oposite side of the globe. Also I was kinda reffering to family guy scene
😂😂😂
Would like to see Linus rip a new hole on these assholes in some mailing list.
Files aren’t fully released yet, this post is premature.
Yep, the worst documents are yet to come.
Yeah but everyone in the files are no surprise. Linus would definitely be surprising. You can probably picture everyone that is in the files and you will probably be correct.
By this logic, anyone who doesn’t believe in Marxist Leninism shouldn’t use Lemmy. I don’t like Windows for other reasons, but the personal life of the person who made it should not be a factor at all. You would in fact be severely limited if you only used products made entirely by people who are ‘perfect’ in every way.
Raping children is what you call ‘not perfect’?
No, simply no — try that comment again only do it without defending child rapists.
You would in fact be severely limited if you only used products made entirely by people who are ‘perfect’ in every way.
Who is talking about people that are perfect in every way? Do you think that people believe that Linus Torvalds is perfect? He is not. We don’t need people to be ‘perfect’, but not being part of a child molesting ring is good start.
Yeah no, that logic doesn’t follow
Did you just put someone wanting to better people’s lives through his critic of capitalism as the same as being a billionaire pedophile.
To be fair, Marxism has killed a fuckload of people.
but the personal life of the person who made it should not be a factor at all.
The data windows collects about you goes in the hands of people involved in a pedo sexual abuse scandal. You should be indeed concerned
If we were talking about a company that makes toasters or bicycles or something I might agree with you. When it comes to an OS though, that’s where you store all your personal information and interact with your digital life. An OS can be updated to include malicious features and backdoors. The morality of the executives at the company making the OS could have a direct effect on you, moral arguments aside.
You just haven’t gotten a toaster that requires you to register your account over a continuous internet connection.
Take it a bit more lightly my guy. 1st It was a joke. 2nd it was stated as a reason to use linux not the sole statement that makes windows completely irrelevent.
Sadly, Linux has a lot of issues on my laptop that I’m not able to fix. When they’ll implement new drivers in the kernel I’ll try again…
Weird, Linux always worked for me on pretty much any computer I ever threw it on, apart from a issue on an old (pre nvidia-open) Asus ROG laptop where it would kernel panic sometimes when resuming from sleep when using nvdia and video going black after screen going to sleep when using the Trident driver on historical pentium 3 era machines.
Overall for the great majority of laptops linux works perfectly fine out of the box. When in doubt buy Thinkpads, those are warrantied to work well, any if there’s a quirk it will be properly documented together with it’s fix.
How dare you use .avif over .jxl
JPEG-XL support is smaller than AVIF.
Only because Google is evil
Sure, but that doesn’t change the situation
Support is improving, and we can improve support by showing our support for it.
Posting a jxl image here would mean that most people won’t see it.
I do use jxl for everything in my private.
I agree. Jxl is superior.
Jpeg XL is such an unsexy name though. (In my opinion) JPEG is already seen as an ancient format, there are plenty of even main stream memes about it’s artifacting quirks. And now you just want to slap more stuff on it? Make it extra large. Sounds like bloat to me!
To be real for a second; I’m sure it’s a fine format and suited for the future, but the name really does put me off it a bit 😄
But Linux is just kennel we need to look at all the gnu components that make Linux a complete os… Wait maybe not https://drewdevault.com/2023/11/25/2023-11-26-RMS-on-sex.html
He’s right that we shouldn’t infantilise teenagers by calling them ‘children’, lumping them in with prepubescent children as if there’s no difference between them.
Sorry but by the article linked above, he whatabouts rape of teenagers with “but they were not children”. He may have done a lot of good for free software, but this is not a single poorly worded comment - these kinds of statements can be found by the dozen. And that means he is mentally unwell / mentally damaged to consider them acceptable.
If I recall he was more hung up on the consent part, because he was probably a black and white logic thinker. If Teen consent, therefore OK. I think later he made a statement that he had re-thought it, after people argued that a teen saying yes is not consent because they can’t legally consent.
I think later he made a statement that he had re-thought it
afaict only thing he’s re-thought is this:
Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.
Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically. This changed my mind about the matter: I think adults should not do that. I am grateful for the conversations that enabled me to understand why.
But as that blog post points out:
This statement from Stallman has been accepted by his defenders as evidence of his capitulation on pedophilia. I argue that this statement is misleading due to the particular way Stallman uses the word “child”. When Stallman uses this word, he does so with a very specific meaning, which he explains on his website:
Children: Humans up to age 12 or 13 are children. After that, they become adolescents or teenagers. Let’s resist the practice of infantilizing teenagers, by not calling them “children”.
— stallman.org, “Anti-glossary”
It seems clear from this definition is that Stallman’s comments are not a capitulation at all. His 2019 retraction, when interpreted using his definition of “children”, does not contradict most of Stallman’s past statements regarding sex and minors, including his widely criticized defenses of many people accused of sexual impropriety with minors.
As much as people fucking hate when this line gets rolled out and for good reason.
There’s a reason chronophilia is a term. Infantophilia, pedophilia, hebephilia, ephebophilia, teleiopholia, mesophilia and gerontophilia. Are all different things.
Actually properly respecting, and using correct terminology can and should be a thing as it prevents unreasonable harm in instances where things are perfectly fine.
For example a 18 year old ephebophile. That’s fucking normal, even tho in the eyes of the law it’s punished as a sex crime. A 18 year old and a 17 year old with a 6 month gap gets fucked because we don’t actually take into account logic when it comes to this topic.
So that 18 year old is now a “pedophile” a term with horrid implications and life defining punishments legally and socially just because we all refuse to actually educate ourselves of the terminology and actual research on the topic.
Because the word pedo has such a huge social negative (for good reason) that we basically just all collectively go stupid as fuck and go straight to the worse punishment we can with out ever considering logic.
It also makes further research into the topic absurdly hard to do and secure funding for. Because of the massive social problems with attaching your name to such research.
Cause even researching it can result in you being attacked. There’s been a number of instances iv seen where research on the topic dead ends because no one is willing to actually attach their name to the subject. Or when something gets published it gets dragged through the mud because it’s a easy headline.
So we never actually find healthy and effective methods to deal with the problem. We just attack, mislabel, don’t think and cause more harm by not actually trying to deal with it. Because the problem is “icky”.
At least in my neck of the woods there’s a pre-16, 16-18 and 18+ band, so a 17/18 couple wouldn’t be straight up criminalal.
thank you. very important to share here.
unfortunately I’ve heard similar phrasings and ideas expressed by 20- and 30-something year olds in the gaming community. still has me feeling unwell.
Something that the society achieved in the last 150 years are two dogmas:
- 5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum
- people before 18 should not have sex with people after 18
I’m kinda glad that questioning these puts one into a category of weirdos.
5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum
Gig workers and 2-2-3/7-7 shifters that are often forced to work on the off-days:
people before 18 should not have sex with people after 18
It’s mostly “people younger than 16 should not have sex with people 18 or older”, because legal age does not match age of consent. Even then, there are some regions that tend to disagree, most notably China, Central Europe and South American countries that put the lower bound to as low as 14. But it still leaves 18-year olds to be open for grooming by perverts of any age. And that, according to DHS, 8% of women had sex with somebody before reaching the age of 14, 41% had it before age of 16, and 67% before 18, putting any such “dogma” into further questioning.
Disclaimer: Not proposing anything here, just pointing that answers to those questions are far from being settled upon.
5/7 is an entitlement in the vast world
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-work-week-by-country
Majority of the world works 40hr or less which is basically a 5/7 schedule.
Just as the fact that sex with underage is considered a rape.
5/7 8 hours workweek is a maximum
I question this, it’s way too much labor with not enough compensation.
You’ve got the idea right
Linus would be too busy chewing Epstein out in a mailing list and then banning him from it permanently if they were friends.
Linus doesn’t have any friends.
