  • The difference with a small group of devs writing code and offering it free and corporate thugs treating coders like sponges to produce code is the lack of resources can be understood and forgiven. Take a project like brave-nightly (browser fork of glugle-elechrom) there are 3-5-8 new releases a day, 8-6 Pacific US time, when they go home on Fri. the next release is Monday afternoon, the “free” coders usually begin work Friday night and end Monday at dawn!

    Sure, corp.XYZ sends them an offer one day and buys their work and even offers them incentives to work for them, then it all goes down hill!

    It ends up being as nasty racist and ethnocentric as kernel.org.com - us state dept fed and controlled


  • Don’t take me wrong, I hate Putin just as much as I hate Biden or Trump, don’t misinterpret what I say

    But between hating Trump and discriminating against you because you are from Nebraska is the difference between a racist and a non-racist …
    Something the linux-duo-Fins can not separate, hence their delirium with nationalist rhetoric and lack of historical understanding.











  • I still prefer net-tools and use ifconfig eth0 up That ip mess I’d rather do without, and those funky UU device/interface names I wish them out of my system

    By the way, what system/init/svc manager are you using? With 50y in your back, cron job to check if it is up and resetting it while you are away. You can always remotely cancel the cronjob … but it will be a new mistake not the old one :)

    I started on Irix and ultrix if you remember those, what would I know :)


  • This war was forced into Russia due to the blocking and surrounding it with NATO bases clearly against it, and by trying to block and substitute its primary exports to EU.

    The violent overthrow of the then democratic government in Ukraine, the arming, training, and directing a Neo-Nazi para-military unit to take over, after forcing half the political parties in being illegal, had nothing to do with Russia. If there is someone underinformed, confused, and lacking historical facts it is not me, and better change your arrogant tone if you seriously want to discuss something and not just throw propaganda mud.



  • That is what I “always” thought, motorcycling will get me and I wouldn’t want to live without being able to ride … but then it happens, you don’t and you get to live with what you never though you would be. …

    Some friend came along today and had Frank Sinatra “my way” playing for a ring, immediately I searched the tube and found Sid Vicious’ “my way” and played it back … he never got old. I guess they can take our lives away but we get to keep the mind young if we want… and look back to see if we are happy with choices, even the worst mistakes.

    The weirdest feeling is that the older you get the more you feel time is accelerating … you get older faster and faster after a certain age.



  • The quantities of oil Venezuelans sleep on top is what makes oil an issue, not the US economy. The US economy is heavily developed and influenced by oil interests.

    You have anti-capitalist parties running in elections in Venezuela, do you know of one in the US?

    I didn’t know that being naive in politics is an insult, many people discussing politics are. But if you think there can be a capitalist government without corruption then “naive” is the mildest characteristic one can throw at you. Was Bolivar naive for turning against the Spanish imperialists?

    You said you are “from” Vz I never said a thing about the US as being associated with it. You can be Chilean and I can be from Nicaragua, and we would still be talking about the US when discussing politics.

    I can be from Vietnam and you would be from Eritrea, still the US is something we would discuss.


  • There is no capitalism without corruption

    Democracy has not existed ever, it is a pseudo name for a facade of industrialists and bankers by controlling all media to pretend to allow people to choose “cheap” representatives. The US is so perverse it legalized corruption, called lobbying. Washington DC quadrupled in population in a couple of decades due to lobbying. They decide, you are just convinced your representatives decided.

    And it is only called democracy as long as there is 0% chance of capitalism being overthrown. 100% capitalist democracy with high percentage of tax-base going into anti-communism subversion and war.

    Either you are naive or you are a propaganda bot spilling doubt on a non-issue. If Maduro had given 90% control of oil extraction and sales to US oil companies he would have been granted the Nobel/Oscar price for democracy.

    Now that is corruption! Everywhere else but Venezuela
