Are those really kilobytes? Not megabytes?

People who were living their whole life like Europeans, were not interested in Islamic culture and religion, can wake up one day and attack in the name of it. It shows that cultural identity is hard wired much more deeper than many think and assimilation is in fact impossible.

Now you see what is missing. I don't say that Gamergate didn't evolved into mostly hate driven movement in its latter phase, but its primary cause must not be ignored.

Nevertheless, I don't want to waste my time on discussing it, since my comment was about mjg59 behavior, not Gamergate (and I didn't followed it enough to discuss it in details).

He was neglecting his maintainers duties, for example he accepted a patch from a well-known troll, which in fact broke some things. So he would have to step down from maintenance anyway. (This is not any secret info, it all can be read on LKML.)

Instead he decided to play drama and presented Gamergate as a reason of stepping down. And replaced all comments who were disproving his statement with "Fart fart fart".

Having in mind all of that, I don't thing calling him 'clown' and describing his actions as childish is an exaggeration.

Look, they even managed to somehow connect the 2-years old event to the last month's three most hot keywords of left-leaning media: Trump, alt-right and hate. This shows that this article is a opinion piece targeted to a specific group of readers in order to amplify their existing beliefs, rather than a balanced description of facts.

A server can perfectly run without dbus, accountsservice, logind, policykit and acpid. And, unlike he wrote, timesyncd NTP synchronization works well without dbus.

(Debian base has also cron and rsyslog running by default, for legacy reasons.)

Well, it was hard to beat mjg59, but it seems you've managed to do so. He just censored them, in a childish way.

> For avoidance of doubt, any comments arguing this point [my point of view] will be replaced with the phrase "Fart fart fart".

@jrcii:

There is something to it. When I saw your comment it was 4 min old and already [dead]. Just like most of your other comments, no matter what topic they touch.

He forgot to add that this only applies to dual-stack hosts...

Such an attitude and existence of sites like that confirms that 'climate science' isn't science anymore. It is more like a religion.

There are heated scientific debates in many fields, especially those ones depending on complicated models (e.g. quantum physics). But 'climate science' is the only one field where those ones who even slightly question the consensus are being witchhunted, their employers are being pressured to fire them and media to ignore them.

Just take a look on the site linked above:

- personal records of 'denialists'

- a counter in the sidebar saying "Our climate has accumulated 2,421,220,822 Hiroshima atomic bombs of heat since 1998", what is pure sensationalism and populism, and reminds me this counter, which I saw in the sidebar of some another site: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/TROP.jpg

- in the same sidebar it links to the "Climate Science Legal Defense Fund" website, which says: "Our opponents won’t go quietly."

This is not a scientific debate anymore. This is a religious war.

...amongst non-intermittent sources. But cheaper alternatives (gas, coal) generate CO2, so I assume they are out of interest for these people.

Todays Spotify desktop client is nothing more than another web browser, which uses WebKit to render all its interface as a web page inside the app window.

What's the point in having a news source which presents only/mostly true news, the same time ignoring huge amount of those ones which do not fit their political line?

This will result in people having a false image of an overall situation, exactly the same as fake news will.

Moreover, I think news omitting is the root cause of fake news problem. People see certain events happen around them. They know these events are true because they see them with their own eyes. But they do not see reports on these events in mass media. The same time alternative and partisan media report these events, people see them on their FB timelines. So they redirect their trust towards these media and FB. If this schema repeats for years, they can trust these media so much that they can accept fake and unbelievable stories (which are also naturally more likely to appear in partisan media). And refuting these stories by mass media makes them even more sound in their eyes, especially if they once saw these media refuting stories which were real.

And this applies to both sides.
