I would've guessed Nazis or even US war crimes (disguised and attributed to someone else, of course — it's what we do). Canada wasn't on my Bingo card for that one.

We roll in the dirt with the kernel and we're not sure who is winning, but I think my hip is broken now...

No Sys Admin with any experience would disagree with you. "All operating systems suck."
I feel it in my soul.

I recall an amusing philosophical exercise called The Trolly Problem, which irritates people who see it as an abstract thought game and resent having to choose between watching a train run over tens of thousands of people who will die as a result of this action and actively switching the track.

And I'm not sure why I thought it so important to emphasize the fact that he's dead, except for the feeling of the bill collector coming, and knowing that if you can stick it out just a little longer…
Surely, someone squeezed an eel or two out of him at some point though.

The best part of this story is that while Turkillus is most assuredly no longer alive (RIP) I imagine he likely never paid eel one.

I would like to see the evidence that China is recruiting Americans, Federal or other; whether the recruitment is from Chinese government agencies or from a private firm in China.

Odd that his opinions and actions so closely resemble fascism. Very odd.

I see the "getting it wrong" part as sort of a blessing. We can see the machinery for what it is, an automated (if clumsy) substitute for human thought and human work.

Tech industry people who know what AI is and who understand the implications of AI, not to mention whom AI would serve, should be the first to put the brakes on hard, much like Luddites who destroyed looms because wealthy owners sought to dump an entire workforce. Am I a Luddite? Absolutely.

Are we seeing it yet? Do we now understand that great wealth doesn't just happen like some sort of reward for pulled-up bootstraps, but is skimmed off the value of people who work? What clearer example is required?

Now look what you've done: A shiny red, juicy behemoth and a white-coated daemon swinging a great stethoscope, both now giant and rising from the sea, destroying entire cities!

The talk of inclusion and equality is to direct attention from their union busting. "Levis" resents paying their employees and they support suppliers that bust unions.

Folks enjoy the luxury of someone else keeping watch, maybe the problem is that we all "mind our own business" a little too much when some messy meddling is absolutely required.

I think of all the time I spent over the years on support calls for broken proprietary software, I'd like to think I could've just fixed myself were it open source — I mean, people troubleshooting is actually how the stuff gets fixed and improved after all.

I hear the (silly) point "all operating systems suck" (it's true), but having worked with various Linux, Sun, MS and a few OSX servers for over 25 years professionally, special projects notwithstanding, I prefer any variety of Linux over anything else.
