I tried to depict my belief, that copyright is a artificial construct, which needs enforcement to be effective. If no one takes repressive measures in their hand, people will ignore copyright laws.

I then took some plot devices and organisations from SW which represent repression and control to desribe that train of thought.

I failed to see the connection between this and your response, since you replied to me. But if there is none, that’s fine by me. :)

PS: I think stories need to be larger than life to attract the audiences attention. It’s the same recipe since ancient Greece’s theatre works. Because people are people and they want what they always wanted.

I don’t understand. I didn’t talk about a romanticized idea of ​​the past or a fictional universe. Help?

That’s coping IMO. It makes sense since the deed is done and we can’t do anything about it. It makes sense to stop before the next tipping point is in the rearview mirror, too.

It would be if we talked about 15years ago. Looking at you, 20+ °C every day, global warmed October.

There is no copyright if you lack the star destroyers to enforce it. Or enough money to pay the headhunters.

Waiting for the bubble to pop. I need a new GPU and maybe a SSD.

About the not booting issue: What if you soldered a fitting power supply directly to the phones battery pins? Is this a horrible idea? I don’t know. Or 3d-print a power supply to dummy battery adapter…

Staff of assistance: Vulnerability +5 (but people are more likely to help you)

No, it won’t.

It looks more like an airplane than a train.

Cereals is used as a marketing term for the whole product, too. The problem is, that they advertise with carbohydrates and fruits but actually the sugar sells the product.

1. Given known empirical numbers of bugs per per one thousand lines of code (which is between a few and about 25) … and the size of Microsoft products, how many bugs do they probably have in total?

Is this the number for human written code only or does it include boilerplate/ generated code too?

Maybe. It doesn’t hurt to have options. Israel would agree with me. Wait… No. That’s a different level of escalation.

One can hope.

But then you read texts from ancient Greece. And they had the same topics. But one can hope. ;)

Why not both? There are lots of people named Jesus. It’s not that unlikely.

Thanks.

(Just a rant) What I like least about FOSS projects are the project names that are hard to remember and hard to pronounce—and which often give no clue as to the often useful project’s function.

Krita? Kdenlive? Mwmbl? Come on. It looks like dev’s cat walked over the keyboard.

The 90s internet would be great. Close to no tracking. Or wait: animated gifs, blinking fonts and web rings… Hmm. Maybe not.

The concept of a safe person, I can understand it. A person that is always there for you. An anchor in a world that feels unreliable. Where basic human social needs are unmet. If you do not have a social network and friends. If you do not understand how to get in touch with people and what it is what makes you fail in social situations or life in general.

But it feels wildly unfair for the person who is forced to take that safe person role. If you are forced to be that person for someone who depends on you. I imagine it must be hard, when you have the obligation to sustain someone instead of having choices. To do things because both want it and not because she is hurting and needs someone. That would be suffocating for anyone.

And the dependend person isn’t free but has to manipulate to get what she needs to feel safe. I think the way out should be to work towards being self sustainable and independent. No one can be that safe person for a longer time. It’s a recipe for disaster over and over again. That safe person role needs to be fulfilled by oneself. Helping someone on this way is not a task for a friend or partner but a professional.

Like someone said. Distance. Maybe regular meetings as friends if you feel supportive for her. But it may be hard to keep your distance, as she guilt trips you into things again. Because it gives her the feeling of safety when she manipulates you. I don’t know her, I could be wrong.

I don’t think anyone should feel the obligation to be a safe person for someone. Because there is none.
