Same here. They have an open source graphical client you can use or they can generate an OpenVPN profile for you. Easy to use, high speeds, good price and they support port forwarding.

I like All rights refused

If “All rights reserved” means “I, the rights holder, reserve the usage of all copy rights for myself only. You have no such rights.” then “All rights refused” must mean “I, the rights holder, refuse all copy rights to this work. You can do whatever.”

I guess I like it because it’s catchy and aggressively anti-copyright.

But if you’re actually going to release something where copyright might become an issue it’s of course better to use a real license like CC.

I was surprised to learn that they have their own streaming service, full service production agency and tech convention, and that their store sells a lot more than just t-shirts.

It seems safe to say that yes, they do want their fingers in every pie.

While we can all agree that bodycams don’t solve the problem, the argument presented for why they are bad is incredibly weak.

If a cop is close enough for their bodycam to see or hear you, then you are already being surveilled, and you are already being intimidated. Anything you say or do can already be used against you. At least a camera (if it’s on) will limit their ability to just make shit up.

It’s also a bit strange for someone arguing for taking action outside of the system to also seemlingly think that the only meaningful repercussion for police murder would be conviction.

I am sorry for the trauma you have suffered that has left you living in fear like this. I don’t expect you to believe me, but this really isn’t the world in which most of us live, it isn’t how things really are and it doesn’t have to be this way for you either.

I think this is what people mean with it being “unstable”. If you keep the system up to date, things will break at some point, and it’s up to you to sort that out. This is because Arch makes very different promises and tradeoffs than something like Debian. It’s a distro for those who want or need to customize or just like to tinker.

The reason I left Arch was because I carelessly installed a new major version of my WM which took me hours to get working. This made me realize that while learning how things work is fun, I want my OS to be a tool rather than a project.

(If you needed to reinstall Ubuntu every six months I guess you were already using it as if it was Arch ;D)

People think it’s about Stallman being bitter. But it’s because GNU is a political project with the goal of total user freedom and control over their computer. The software is a step on the way there. But if people use free software without understanding, valuing or taking advantage of the freedom it gives them, the GNU project has failed.

Look, I have no idea who you are, I don’t know anything about you and we have never interacted before. You assuming that I’m part of some grand conspiracy makes it pretty clear to me that you are suffering from paranoid delusions. If you’re not getting it already, I strongly urge you to seek help, and I’m sorry if I riled you up.

That not true!

For some places rail is too expensive or inflexible. So you need driverless cars, but you can make them cheaper by not having so many of them, instead having really big ones, and since driverless is not ready we hire a human to drive for now.

So sometimes you get buses!
