You can’t eat meat without animal murder. It’s really that simple. Dragging your fixations on religion into it is just noise and some feeble deliberate attempt to derail the issue and somehow “prove” that you had a point.

Indeed. Can you point any inconsistencies in that sentiment, or prove it false? If not, what’s the problem here?

Maybe it’s stretching the word meaning a bit but I’d definitely be contributing to animal murdering by eating meat. The same applies if I buy new leather shoes. Driving a petrol car, otoh, the connection to animal killing is not as straightforward, but it’s harmful for the environment and hence harming wild animals as well.

So yes, it’s not polite, but acceptable.

It’s funny considering how eating meat and using animal products is normalized in society, that when a vegan states a differing opinion (that also happens to be a fact) it’s automatically them imposing their beliefs on people. I guess it’s a symptom of the omnivore’s cognitive dissonance activating for a moment.

My theory, which is mine and belongs to me, is as follows: cough He forgets, keeps on trying and then posts about it again cooooouuuuugggghh

• The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie
• Mulholland Drive
• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

To generalise is easy. To spot colour in a black and white world is a bit harder but in the end well worth it.

And now the incident’s “debate” is here.

Me too, on Linux, but this was about Windows.

Or just use Hyper-V since it’s natively available and one should refrain from touching Oracle with a ten-foot pole. I know it’s just a means to an end but better to avoid bad vendors if at all possible.

A sophisticated self-own.

Dog. I could train myself to find stuff (drugs and money, for starters) with my excellent sense of smell.

Your guess is just as valid as mine.

The predetermined universe smiles when the book’s fate is being fulfilled.

Prescilla

It’s Priscilla, but well played nevertheless.

And hence the term read-only Friday.

There’s also Xfce4, MATE, Cinnamon which come ith man, OS installers as an option. Not to mention various smaller projects (e.g. LXDE or whatever the cool kids use nowadays). Personally I’ve been spoilt by Awesome WM since 2008 and can’t live without terminal/shell.

Needing to use command line for some things that should be a right click

Right click where? All major DE’s/WM’s implement stuff in their own way. The problem here is we don’t (and won’t) have a unified GUI that everyone uses, unlike the other two main OS’s. (Note: I don’t see this as a problem, more as a result of the FLOSS ecosystem being such a rich soil to build stuff on.)

I think Neal Stephenson’s In the Beginning was the Command Line has some valid points even today.

Or like a study in UK concluded: fuck all.

The fix comes to sid first. (Not counting experimental.) The right way to do it is to run mixed testing/unstable with apt-pinning so that nothing gets pulled from unstable unless spcifically requested.

That said, stable with Firefox from Mozilla’s site and Neovim built from sources and gpack’d into deb package runs perfectly fine with much less hassle.
