Laugh or not, I installed Ubuntu on my partner’s mom laptop, she didn’t notice a difference, and she used Windows before that.

The only people who had trouble with Ubuntu were IT support employees of a local telecom provider when they needed to configure a network on the laptop.

> cities vote only mostly for Lukashenko, rural areas vote _overwhelmingly_ for Lukashenko

That's not true this time. It was like that before, now the candidate from opposition, Tihanouskaya, gained about 79% on at least 85 polling stations officially! The situation is different today, Lukashenko has 10-15% incl. army and police forces.

Voting committees were afraid to publish protocols in front of people yesterday night and were running and escorted by police away from polling stations in most cities in Belarus, no results were published on such stations. 33 cities had protests yesterday, there were no leaders, it was all decentralized, nobody expected so many hot spots and so many people. Today internal repression machinery was rerouted to regions, to "rural" regions, as you say.

He's fucked.

He claims this, but this is definitely not true. These people are Belarusians, Lukashenko abuses power for 26 years and kills innocent people throughout the history. Today on the voting day Belarusians have seen each other on voting stations, they have seen how many people voted against the dictator. Most of my friends are against, my family is against and there is no Russia behind us.

Belarusians finally are feeling hope united and continue peacefully resisting brutal riot police and military, which is using flash grenades and rubber bullets. Lukashenko's personal unofficial plane left Belarus for Turkey but it's unknown who was on board. Lukashenko had been running the country for 26 years.

Can confirm such issues, but I noticed it's the problem of some particular users/moderators who sit on Go channel. I haven't seen so many negative questions on other channels.

> Do we now just throw away the knowledge that was gained?

Probably, yes. Would you forcibly kill another innocent person to save your life or your child's one? China does this with Uighurs (they are prisoned in camps, their health is checked and organs are extracted on demand, people are trashed then) for science and profit because they are muslims and weaker as a nation.

Seems that knowledge isn't so valuable by itself. If so, why not to trash it when it's done in a violent and shameful way.

> Can a doctor test drugs in mouses? (Why you excluded bacteria from your list?)

Bacteria is included into a "living being", but anyway. I definitely do not pretend to present a well thought oath in the comment yet. But seems The Hippocratic Oath is a good precedent. Probably, it's better to compose such ethical principles for each activity, because there are different fallacies and temptations for different professions. And there is a separate set of temptations for a common human. We teach and study natural sciences, but we don't teach ethics and philosophy in popular nowadays STEM curricula.

thanks for the reference

Tannenbaum isn't much better, he uses his credentials and authority to argue, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_authority. Linus has nothing behind him, just his/community work which is now my OS in production. It's very interesting to read the thread today.

Does anybody fly rockets with Minix at the end of the day?
