I see. It sounds like "liberty for me, not for thee". Not cool.

What no I'm not saying that, of course they did. I'm saying slavery was allowed under the authority of the government and backed by state sanctioned violence. Corporations don't have that same authority over our lives the way governments do. Under an actual libertarian system it's impossible to to have slavery without violating a persons liberty.

I don't agree with the assessment on slavery because in that system nobody would have the authority to sell another person in the first place. Although I suppose you could sell yourself and have indentured servitude.

Edit and I guess I'm going to get all "no true scottsman" over here and say a libertarian that doesn't believe in liberty and freedom isn't a libertarian at all. But thanks for explaining it a bit.

Holy crap I remembered my 7 digit id and password! Everyone on my list was "last seen a long time ago" and there's no chat history.

Depending on where you live the common dandelion may not be a native plant. They were introduced to North America from Europe.

Same. I bought a fixer upper and haven't moved in yet due to the very messy renovations I'm doing slowly on evenings and weekends after my full-time job. I'm almost to the point I can move in though.

I agree with you that the gui toolkit is pretty uninteresting from the users pov, or at least mine. I do wonder if the multi-threaded transcoding pipeline changes in ffmpeg 7 will improve performance in handbrake at all. I'm not sure if Handbrake calls the ffmpeg cli or not.

I seriously hope someone is working on this

Long story short - dollar general is charging more at the register than the price marked on the shelf and then just paying the fine when they get busted for deception but not fixing the problem to the tune of millions of dollars illicit profit.
