But sometimes this happens because the questioner wants to avoid other people's waste of time asking a more specific and limited question instead of a generic one. Often this happens because the environment where the question is asked is highly selective and does not accept too verbose and indirect questions. The solution is to be more open to conversation on both sides.
good idea to make it public, companies often use fear to illegally collect money, but they themselves are afraid of public opinion and the possible shit storm that might follow. Injustices must always be exposed publicly, it is the only weapon we have left against the corporations.
Re:FunkWhale: Decentralized Music Server on Thursday January 21, 2021 @08:09PM (#25866962)
Beautiful calculation. Let's say that if you listen to music for 3 hours a day then it is as if every month you spend 5$ which goes to divide for all the artists you listen to, every month. So you have to listen to an artist 100 hours to compensate for the purchase of an album, it's not something you do with every artist you know.
Re:Alpine Linux 3.13 on Thursday January 21, 2021 @06:51PM (#25866360)
After this message from you, I proceeded to update alpine to have a more recent version of gcompat available and to try to start some programs compiled with glibc. I haven't tried many things, but all the tests failed except with "powder" ( http://www.zincland.com/powder/release/powder118_linux.tar.g... ) which actually starts after installing the gcompat package. The thing is very interesting because actually I would like to try to use vscode on alpine, I wanted to try the "appimage" version (https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases/download/1.52..... glibc2.16-x86_64.AppImage) but I could not start any appimage in my tests. If you have more information, I'm curious, even if I'm quite noob.
This is a rant, I don't want to explain why, I just want you to hear the product of my wrath. I cannot understand why people fail to think first about the will to love each other and then about the ability to subsist. To love someone means to be able to sacrifice oneself for the other, if you are not able to accept the risk of being with someone, in the last istance you are simply not able to love and therefore the intensity of your feelings will always be subdued by this inability. The only solution is to believe and be or to burn yourself even before starting.
