Oxygen ravages electrons all day at the end of the electron transport chain and nobody bats an eye, but you steal one pair off some DNA and everybody loses their minds!

Fountain pen writing may look nicer in most scenarios, but in terms of practicality they're awful compared to ballpoints.

Cheap cars definitely are more reliable if you pick the right brands. On all the other points it just doesn't make enough of a difference to me to justify the enormous cost increase.

Our $10k used Camry is still kicking ass over ten years later and hasn't ever needed work more extensive than replacing leaking struts. The reliability truly is astounding.

EDIT: But, let's not talk about my camera-buying habits lol

Whether they need it to federate or not, it's still reasonable to not want an entity as large and powerful as Meta to consume this data. Fuck Meta because it's Meta, which has a history of being particularly heinous with user data.

LFS doesn't give you a usable system in practice though. A distribution is nothing without package management.

Gentoo gives you a thorough course in Linux fundamentals, and has lots of other benefits. Forget the mild gains of compiling for your specific CPU, it's really all about the incredible flexibility of Portage.

Just following in the footsteps of the Silk Road's creator on Stack Overflow. The FBI mentioned the post specifically.

I wonder whether they really are over. I have to imagine there will be future surges once negative sentiment fades and just the right novelty comes along.
