That's like saying stray dogs keep you in shape / running … because you don't want to be bitten.

This can be said about many conflicts between the individual and society, though. In many ways we are prevented from just taking what we want and “keep us in shape” because if everyone did the same it would be a problem.

I mean, cardio is Rule #1 of the zombie apocalypse in Zombieland.

> US it's very different. That's possibly why Elon Musk can do Nazi salutes there and nothing happens.

What should have happened? The US has put emphasis on freedom from its inception, although in practice it still had McCarthyism which to say at least, harrased communists.


> What should have happened?

What do you mean? There are countries where one can go to jail for doing Nazi salutes. Just like in the US it is not tolerated to joke about shooting a kid at school (if you have seen the recent Snapchat story).

What should have happened, if you ask me, is that a lot more people should have boycotted Tesla and his other companies.


And there are countries where you can be sentenced to death for apostasy. Each country has its own laws, but if you personally don't like Elon's or Hitler's salute that's fine with fine.

> in the US it is not tolerated to joke about shooting a kid at school (if you have seen the recent Snapchat story)

I have no idea what are you talking about.


> Each country has its own laws

That's exactly what I said to which you apparently opposed. It depends on the country. It's okay to do Nazi salutes in the US, it's not okay in Germany.

If it increased productivity, it doesn't sound that bad to me. I also doubt that so many Americans were really coke heads, or that the situation was so dire.

I think that was heroin.

Under European law don't you have to mark AI generated content as such?

Is that self reported? Does it apply to content created by a U.S. based AI model? Posted on a U.S. website? Read by someone in the U.S.

I am not anticipating people self identifying slop.


> r/Wowlookatthis is banned

> This subreddit was banned due to being unmoderated.


I made up a subreddit.

But check out r/pics & r/interestingasfuck

They are crazy especially after Oct 7. Constant pro-pali posts.

/r/sweden is a leftie craphole. same with /r/tillsverige and /r/svenskpolitik


> After I learned how much some Red Hat people wanted to cripple and kill the X11

What is he talking about?


Ages ago Redhat people wanted to stop supporting X11 since it was old and harder to maintain with all the weird extensions and it being older C code. They wanted to move to Wayland and people claim that maybe in maintaining X11 Redhat also made some changes that made X11 worse. You can find all kinds of discussion of why Wayland is bad or why X11 is bad and Wayland is the one and only future. Now things are settled and Wayland won.

The details are in other article I linked to - here:

What did they actually do to kill it?

The 2 quotes just say "they killed it", but the way I read it having followed most linux stuff is just they are finally happy that they were able to "kill X.Org" in RHEL by being able to provide an alternative that they are able to actually improve upon.

And metux was banned from my knowledge after multiple times pushing uncompilable and breaking changes to the actual X.Org repo, which later needed to be reverted and just being stubborn as all hell to work with. Recently even Artix had to drop XLibre support for causing too many issues[0] to put it lightly.

> What did they actually do to kill it?

They did Wayland instead, that killed X11 since X11 windows and such can be spawned under Wayland. but wayland isn't x11 so people miss shit and wish it was there.


Well it is open source, so if enough people miss it, they are free to keep it going, isn't how it always gets talked about?

Except the reality never plays that way, unless we are talking about tiny projects.

Lets see for how long xlibre keeps going.


Why was the title truncated and its casing changed? The original title is

> Your intellectual fly is open

which makes more sense.

Your title made think that a software project was open sourced or something.


I assume the filter deletes "Your" if its at the start of the title.

I believe HN does some automated editing of titles to avoid clickbaity titles being displayed. May be that.

It does, submitters can edit/revert those changes and they stick

The title of this submission has been on a real journey.

Didn't JD Vance say that he will take a break from politics to spend time with his family or something like that?


> we already have funds and productivity to feed and shelter everyone

For how long?
