Oh boy...

I was totally convinced that Debian was interested in keeping alive the legacy of a non-systemd distribution, this is something that a Devuan folk wrote me on this very forum, not in my terms but there were some collaboration and contribution upstream to make the work on Devuan easier and simultaneously allowing Debian to change init effortlessly.

Dreams vs Reality: 0 - 10 👊

Maybe you don't, but how else could one describe being able to go a giant building filled to the brim with food and being able to leave with a tiny portion of what one used to be able to afford? I mean, if that's not magical, what is?

I have always hated the concept of computer security. It's a real non-topic. Anything made by a person can be broken by a person. Whoopdeedoo. As an end-user, all computer security amounts to is a bunch of super nerds making my computer run slower, because they just couldn't leave well enough alone. I don't want to know about computer security; I don't care.

I do care about surveillance and profiling by corporations for profits, especially all of those corps who are totally keen on exploiting people while also doing their very best to avoid paying the taxes which fund the development and maintenance of human civilization. Those abhorrent leaches can fuck right off.

I also care about the ineptitude we witness at all levels of the Canadian government, but there's literally nothing I can do about it, so... oh well, I guess. Ultimately, the world isn't mine to change anyway. I am certain that we average everyday people truly believe that those we elect to represent us will get their shit together, make rational decisions, and carry on with improving our lives like our post WWII representatives did. After all, that's what we sensible, common folks would do. Sadly, the monetary system is the system with the greatest influence on human civilization, at all levels, and it's also a system that most easily rewards the worst people; lie, cheat, steal, exploit, one's way to riches and influence over the fabric of society itself. That's not such a great system, is it? But that's how it works, even in a relatively safe and peaceful democratic country like Canada.

What were we talking about?
