  • Comparison with closed source software sometimes does. If I installed windows I would pay nothing. If I got a computer with Windows preinstalled I would pay a price premium less than $50, perhaps even negative. And buying it from Microsoft costs significantly more. So how much should I pay Arch? Paying $50 for something I get for free feels like I’m being had.

    You might say that I can then pay smaller amounts regularly. But aren’t subscriptions shunned when it’s for closed source software?

    Then who should I donate to? I’ve donated to Arch, Kde and the lemmy instances I use. But what about like Linux itself? Browsers I use? The weather app? Upstream libraries of those projects? How much should each get? Kde already gets more money than they can spend. Should the amount be based on how much value I receive or how much they need it?

    And once those are decided then I need to find how to donate. It’s easier to just not

    I think the gloves must’ve helped with the dino chomp, as well as his general macho attitude

    I’m at around 1990 nowadays and although he says he is fine, other characters (who well know his powers) keep commenting on how rough a shape he is in and how he seems to be dying from the injuries he takes from nonstop adventuring

    To me it seems like his healing factor can do a sprint to close a wound so he can finish a fight, but it can’t do the marathon of keeping him alive from constant injuries, unless given time to regenerate itself. And the regrowing flesh thing to me looks like the effort of running a marathon in the span of a sprint




  • Thank you, this was eye opening for me. For some reason in my philosophy classes Aristotle’s popularity was somewhat contextualized but Socrates and Plato’s views were taken at face value, as if their anti democratic views are different than today’s just because someone expressed them thousands of years ago.

    Also makes me wonder if the framing of Socrates as the “every man’s philosopher” in opposition to the establishment philosophers who only cared about philosophy for their job is similarly biased
