(Their point was that Spotify’s free version is sufficient because they only want the things mentioned)

Of course it does. OP asked multiple questions, this was sipposes to answer why they used KDE instead of Gnome. I personally think Arch would have the advantage of having the newewst drivers, Proton version etc. available.

Bro, “Puritanism” is a religious movement of the 16-17th century. Maybe you mean purism?

(Serious) question: How do you stand not being able to select individual tracks? I honestly would rather listen to my music in any of the free frontend apps rather than being limited to that extent…

Honestly, what does this change? For paid users nothing, and the free version was always unusable with you not being able to individually select songs.

Do you need help lifting the rock you’re living under?

It says you only have ten seconds, I doubt you could log onto another (Unix) computer in that time, open the terninal, run the man oage and then run over and enter a valid command…

Generation Z rarely uses computers and knows nothing about them, compared to other generations

I disagree. In Gen Z, there are those that use computers regularly and those that don’t. There is a larger gap between clueless and tech-savvy. But the one’s that do use a computer are genrally more tech-savvy than other generations, while the majority of other generations’ computer users are just getting by with minimal knowledge (how files are organized, some specific software like office and not much more).

Start asking people about PC components or programming (don’t count those that learned it university or at their jobs) and you will quickly realize that your best bet is gen Z.

Yeah but do you think people just drop windows and don’t move to any OS afterwards?

What part is wrong then? That’s pretty nuch what they say in the article.

If I understand this correctly, they are only using it to track terrorists who actively participated in a terror attack, right? What’s the big deal then…?

CVE score of heartbleed was 7.5, the score of this XZ backdoor is 10…

No, you tried shifting the discussion and when I told you what was being discussed, you simply said you’re uninterested.

First, you’re taking the U.S. at its word that there was anyone on its side in real danger.

No I’m not. I never claimed anyone was in danger.

Second, it’s laughable to take the premise of additional intelligence possibly endangering some spy and turning that into “this would kill all U.S. spies.”

Yeah it is and nobody did. I certainly didnt.

I don’t care about impossible thought experiments

Then don’t comment on one and don’t waste my time telling me that my answer to a morality question is “ridicolous” because it didn’t happen.

First, you’re taking the U.S. at its word that there was anyone on its side in real danger.

No, but the statement we are discussing assumes this from the start: “I would happily sacrifice the life of every single American spy abroad for a single innocent life.”

Second, it’s laughable to take the premise of additional intelligence possibly endangering some spy and turning that into “this would kill all U.S. spies.”

Yeah but we’re discussing the case where it would kill all spies. My statement was in response to (I repeat): “I would happily sacrifice the life of every single American spy abroad for a single innocent life.”

Finally, the U.S. has fucked over countless lackeys in the past and will continue to do so. Dying for your country is what these people already signed up for

Yeah but this is not “dying for your country” (it wouldnt benefit the USA in any way) but rather “dying for a single civilian of an adversary country”. They didnt sign up for that.

I found cursive to be the most useful thing ever for exams because of its speed compared to writing block letters.

Which one? The bottom one to the right is a ,z" (the thing looking like a 3).

In Germany, we did learn cursive (and its still being taught). Although barely anyone uses it anymore, I find it very useful for exams

In this case yeah

I would not “happily” sacrifice anyone’s life. How about that? Anyway, Russia obviously didnt take the threat seriously and that was the actual issue.

But even in your case of letting all the spies be killed to save one civilian, it would in the end result in more dead civilians because if a country does that to its own spies, nobody will want to be a spy for them anymore, thus less “protection” overall.
