Exactly, that’s a perfectly theologian explanation, it sounds good, but doesn’t stand the least bit of scrutiny.
Already the creation story on the first pages says god created light and saw the light is good. How is it good without subjective emotion?
How exactly are gods emotions supposed to be different. Does good mean something different to god?

Religion is nothing but worthless bullshit from start till end.

Well you kind of have the thing reversed.
All gods are created by man in mans image. And gods are generally exactly as selfish childish (narcissistic) and emotional as a 4 year old, because that’s the mentality of the people with the delusions that created the gods in the first place. And then the people who think they know what god is and want.

Requires someone wants to hire you or allow you to hack them, otherwise it’s still illegal, and you can go to jail, even if you don’t take anything, and reveal it to the company.
Some companies make rewards for hacking their systems if you come to them, but usually you are just paid a one time amount for finding a vulnerability, and that’s it.

That’s true, and it’s amazing we can get it legally for free.

They’re not selling it

Yes they are selling it with help desk subscriptions. But mostly to professionals.

Corporate ownership, but you can have that and still be generally accepted in the community. Like both Fedora when controlled by Red Hat and Suse when controlled by Novell.
One of the real problem is their dual license policy for their open source projects, that grant Ubuntu full license and the power to close in an Open source Project if they want. This is decidedly against the GPL spirit, but can be done with dual licensing.
Another problem is the “not made here” mentality, which undermined Wayland for instance.
Ultimately the problem is I guess, that Ubuntu is (was?) trying to make Ubuntu exclusive to Linux, with Canonical controlling key technologies. Seemingly an effort to reduce other Linux distros to second rate players.
Another example of that (apart from dual license and Mir) is their new package system Snap, which is open source on the client side, but proprietary on the server side.
Obviously it’s not a good idea for Linux to use proprietary package systems.

These are of course ideological issues, if you don’t give a shit about those, I suppose Ubuntu is mostly OK. Except minor annoyances like media not working out of the box. And that the PPA system sucks.

It started in the 60’s. But flower power peaked in the 70’s.

Lot’s of things were going on in the 70’s. The peace movement, people living together in collective housing, higher sexual freedom and more flexible sexual identity, generally rebelling against authorities, cannabis becoming popular. All this was also expressed in art, music, paintings and movies.

In UK this may have been further emphasized by a very backwards school system, with many attending boarding schools and wearing uniforms.
Something I remember when attending public school in Denmark in the 70’s as extremely backwards compared to conditions here.

I think older generations hated the 70’s, and they are probably still remembered as being a bit silly. But they are also remembered for being a time of optimism, where ideals and hopes for a better future were high.

Why don’t Russia just fuck off and go home? And while they are at it, give Crimea back.
That’s the only fair peace for Ukraine. But even if Ukraine agree to give up territory, Russia want territory they don’t currently control. Which is decidedly brain dead of them.
The only way to achieve a fair peace is to give Ukraine a shitload of weapons so they can fight back Russia. And when Russia is out, Ukraine must become a member of NATO.

The only way this can end well, is to let everything Russia didn’t want happen. And prevent Russia from trying again by having Ukraine in NATO.
Everybody tried to please Russia before the war, and Russia invaded anyway. There can be no constructive peace with Russia.

Russia also agreed in 1994 to NOT invade Ukraine, and Russia took over Ukraine’s atomic weapons.
Clearly Russia can’t be trusted in a peace agreement, unless it backs up Ukraine with NATO power.

You could also ask why we have sexuality at all, and since we do, why isn’t it evenly spread across the spectrum?
Obviously there are mechanisms that guide our sexuality and gender identification, and they are not 100% the same for all men or all women.
It’s simply a natural mechanism with some variance that occur in most things.
Why are some people introvert?, Why are some people tall? Why are some people strong and others fast?

It’s like when you ask how magnets work, and it turns out they kind of work like everything else.

Edit PS:
I don’t understand why this question is downvoted? It’s an excellent question. It’s just hard to answer.

I recommend Epos headsets. My GSP 370

Is it possible to detach the microphone?

Thanks, you just made my day. 😀

I switched in 2005, I miss being in my 40’s. 😋

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but “digital only” means the only way to put games on the device is via digital downloads

I’m pretty sure the keyword here is download and not digital, what other kind of download do they imagine?
I was absolutely being sarcastic about calling downloads digital, since it’s the only kind there is. Even an old acoustic coupler with 75/300 baud is still a digital download, despite being on an analogue line. Which in principle everything up until we got mobile and fiber were. Except ISDN

Each company tries this because it effectively eliminates the third party/aftermarket sales and gets them a monopoly on prices.

Which is why the same attempt originally failed very very badly on Xbox. So yes I absolutely agree on your last part.
Personally I wouldn’t mind that it is download only, if I could save the copy, and buy the downloads as freely from competing shops as used to be the case with installation discs.

The Pro is digital only which means you’ll need to buy a disc drive if you want to use it to play physical media.

OK so physical media is analogue only?
WTF do they mean by digital only? Every console ever made has been “digital only”.

But maybe this “digital only” where you can’t use physical media, is the reason it doesn’t sell so well.
That’s what happened to Xbox some years ago too.

You are delusional both about Musk and conservatives.

calculating every SHA256 of all MACs

Yes but because I don’t have the folder it reads myself, I can’t see what actually encoded. Are you sure /etc/machine-id is ONLY the MAC address?

because it’s possible to connect to natural persons.

That’s debatable, and is only based on the claim that it’s just a 24bit decoding that can be brute forced. I don’t know for a fact that it’s true that it can be boiled down to 24bit.
I checked my own /etc/machine-id, and the folder doesn’t even exist, so what exactly is supposed to be in it IDK. And yes I use Manjaro.
