My source is the obvious sarcasm.

People who work together can't really do democracy. The only true democracy is the one where a small number of people order everyone around without the input of most people. Because that's what democracy means.
Trust me, I am all too familiar with losing hope in humanity as I get older and more cynical. That doesn't mean I want to spend my time watching a show about torture and misery and sadness and hopelessness. I want something better out of fiction than I get out of real life. Otherwise, what's even the point?
I've never watched Picard myself, but the the main thing I took away from watching the video was that the person who made it loved TNG for being a show that tried to take a realistic look at our problems and present a fun show about a world where we have found solutions for them, while inspiring people all over the world, including the person who made the video, to become scientists and engineers. Meanwhile Picard is a show that is miserable and hopeless and will never inspire anyone to do anything. Also it just wasn't well written.
That's just my personal main take away from a single video about a show I haven't watched, so take that for what it's worth.
Huh, yeah, you're right. I missed that the first time, but it's how the computers are networked, not the OS.
No. That's not what I said. I said the manufacturers not testing their equipment on Linux made it so, and more users would change that. Actually, looking at it again that isn't even true. This example has nothing to do with the operating system at all. It's caused by connecting with a computer on a different subnet (or I guess more accurately the same subnet as the printer), which would have happened even if the OS were Windows.
Honestly, this is a pretty good example of why this isn't an inherent Linux problem. It's a problem of using any OS that isn't popular enough to be supported by manufacturers. More people using Linux would cause problems like this to stop happening.
I realize that's a distinction without a difference to a lot of people, and that's totally okay. I'm not saying that's wrong, but it matters to me that the benefits of Linux are specific to the OS, while most of the problems are not.
My approval is irrelevant. People do it, and people pay for it, so it deserves all the same respect and rights as any other work. No one's value comes from my opinion of what they do to pay the bills, and it is not my place to tell people what sex "should" be.
Nobody here is saying that ads are good. We're saying this disingenuous fascist is only saying these things because he can't make any money from ads. If he was making ad money he'd be saying exactly the opposite of all this. Fascists don't have any morals but power for power's sake. That's what fascism IS.
Look, if you love declarative systems that's cool. I'm genuinely happy for you that you have much better options now. That can only be good.
That being said, they only solve problems that I don't have. I do not care even the tiniest amount about whether a system is declarative or not, and I'm definitely not going to go out of my way to seek them out. If you want to call that "out of touch" then so be it.
At this point I'm starting to think that if you want to subsidize semiconductor manufacturing in the US the Global Foundries might be a better investment. At least they've already hit rock bottom.
I mean, if you have a shared interest in cheese this probably counts as a thoughtful act.
