  • Mathematics and Politics.

    There are many more people who are “working class” than rich. The argument is that if you take some money from a lot of people, you get more money than if you take a lot of money from some people.

    There’s also the argument that if everyone pitches in, the overall burden for each individual is less.

    What this fails to address is that the richer you are, the more you can play with your money and end up with nothing to tax. This is why the rich get richer and the rest of us don’t.

    Running through all that is a thing called “trickle down economics” which claims that the money from the rich ends up in society, but recent reviews of this have proven this to be nonsense. Politicians use this as an argument for the status quo.

    Finally, the rich shape the narrative. Politicians are essentially elected by the rich through their manipulation of the story through their media empires and social media platforms.


  • Seriously? From the README:

    I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).

    I can’t wait to see this kernel become dependent on .NET

    If you’re wondering, this is what embrace, extend and extinguish looks like.

    Dad: Or a female partner.

    Me: Yep.

    Dad: And that means you’re bi.

    Me: Yep.

    Dad: So that means if you don’t find a partner you’re on standbi?

  • In my understanding, deleting (and moderation) are pretty much unsolved mysteries on this platform.

    For example, last I heard, an administrator has to drop into a command line to delete media from removed posts, otherwise they’d still be accessible if the URL was known. (Think illegal material.)

    Filtering is similarly done at the client end, so that’s fun.

    Note that I’m not associated with the source code, only as a user and am repeating things I’ve observed, read, or have been told. YMMV.
