And of that 61%, only a third are directly investing. The rest get it as part of their compensation package for their work, which they can’t benefit from without penalty until retirement. Additionally, it skews heavily by race. It’s 66% of white families, but only 39% of black families and 28 percent of hispanic families. The amount invested follows similar trends.
Actually most of us work for a living and don’t have the luxury of having enough money for investments to be practical in the first place, but I guess you can pretend it’s necessary to get by if it makes you feel better about it.
No that’s true, open source is superior is proprietary
“Let’s remove the social element of our social movement”
Great so what’s left at that point, the free value FOSS provides to corporations?
Criticizing people’s past and current actions relating to the subject and bringing up their direct history relavent to the subject is not a personal attack, nor is it out of line to point out he does his to advance his political agenda within the project, which is why he got banned in the first place. All of this directly relates to the subject at hand.
You know what doesn’t relate to the subject at hand? Your random little “sjw gender terrorists” comment. But it does make it rather clear why you want to obfuscate the facts about Srid’s history with the project, subsequent ban, and continued amplification of drama and general shit-stirring ever since.
You made one reply to me whining that I attacked the person by pointing out his beliefs, and then made another reply to me about “gender terrorist SJWs”. Do you just lack any form of self-awareness?
I attacked his beliefs which is perfectly valid. You should critically examine the motives and biases of people who feed you information.
You should know that the guy you cited in the second link, Srid, is a well-known right-wing shit-stirrer who is banned from basically all NixOS spaces because he cannot peacefully coexist. He literally gets up day after day with the seemingly sole purpose of fueling drama and causing problems. Don’t take his opinion at face value, he wants to see the project burn down and this colors his interpretation of events.
NixOS is going through a rocky moment for sure, but there’s no indication it will implode currently.
I would rather have a strong dictatorship focused on technical merit, to be deposed in the future for another dictator, again, based on technical merit.
Normally when I see people say something like this, what they actually mean is “based on technical merit (and also has the right opinions that agree with mine)”. The concern is that democracy will produce outcomes they find disagreeable.
Overall I’m quite pleased with this news, but I’m a bit of a zealot when it comes to democracy. Barring any breakdown of process during the drafting and election phases, I see this as an absolute win, and the first step towards repairing the community.
I always come back to Smart Launcher. I grew up with category-based application menus on on PC, I can’t stand having a giant unorganized app drawer. It’s so cluttered and messy. I’m always surprised at how little mention it gets and instead everybody talks about these “minimalist” launchers that are literally just unorganized app drawers.
