But Linux users are suffering computer illiteracy every day they’re working. You can ban a user or a community if it bothers you so much.

Somehow windows users manage to be more irrationally attached to their company brand than Linux users.

Well, that depends on your magic I guess. I’m not the one to say merely speaking Latin would summon demons.

It depends on the place. In France for example it was always considered the language was gallo-roman, because they never completely spoke Latin. Latin was the written language, but the spoken language was a mix of celtic and Latin. And by the XIIth century it was old French. Southern France, occitan is even worse: it started to be latinised in the IInd century, and mixed again with celtic in the VIth century.

Those languages are roman languages, so they indeed are majorly Latin in their origin, but they never were actual Latin. It’s not even sure most people actually ever spoke Latin. It was very common in the past to use translators to communicate.

In many cases you don’t need an obscure language to do magic. Latin is merely the language in which the sorcery books were written. And they were written because it was the language of the scholars, which magic practitioners pretended to be.

It’s not hate. It’s just that when you know things, windows is simply insufferable and not working. And they make the system worse with each update.

I guess capitalism can be seen as an extension of mercantilism, but now they don’t only trade goods but everything they can. They’re the same people so the ruthless cutthroat part would merely be their original philosophy.

Before it was merely people using money.

I’ve seen an interesting video about it a few months ago: 400 years ago is actually mercantilism. It means people build their fortune out of selling goods. Before that, it was about possessing lands and taxing the people who lived there.

Capitalism is different than both. It’s not born 400 years ago with the trading with the America. It’s born with the industrial revolution when the bourgeoisie seized the power with democracy.

This certainly never happens with liberalism. Africa has never seen war since democracy and liberalism freed it obviously. And putin is the prime example of a communist I guess.

The vanguard state is a mean to reach communism, it is not communism itself. That’s a pretty big difference.

The difference is the same with the gouvernement révolutionnaire in France during the revolution, and you can make parallels with US revolution too. I’m pretty sure the US government is very different from what it was during its war against UK.

I can show many democracies in Africa like that! :D

On a bell curve the average and mean are the same. Your example isn’t a bell curve. Many things will be a bell curve.

Oh yes so much! My exact reaction everytime I hear a machine talking to me!

I drink hot-chocolate-milk. I’m perfect.

I’d rather see it as having Internet, the backbone of a technology we profit a lot from, runs on free softwares.

That companies use it to make profit is the same as those using anything to make profit.

Companies are also using paper and pencils, desks and seats and all sort of things.

You do have to pay the gas, and you do lose hours each day to go to work. Gas these days is at least 100€/month, possibly more.

So you need to pay a car and gas on top. Very good idea!

Oh yeah, sure, I’ll buy a shitty house an hour away from where I work, in a small village with not even a grocery store! Good idea! And then I’ll be stuck there for the rest of my life because you can’t sell houses in these places, because they are shitty!

Buying a house or apartment is a several decades investment. If you’re settled in your life, sure, do that, but not everyone is in this case, and not everyone in this case can afford it.

BTW, so you know banks will not give you money these days? Half the requests are refused by banks in France these days because they’re waiting for the yields to increase again.
