Sorry to hear it, I used to talk to him through the Debian list serves back when Ian was still heavily involved in the DE implementation. Hope he went as well as he could.
- Comment on How the H-1B System Undercuts American Workers 2 weeks ago:
I was referring to the royal you.
My point is immigration can be good, if it’s properly handled and the workers are able to actually participate in the policy of the country they’re working in. I have a lot of coworkers that were initially H-1B and are now in the naturalization pipeline. Waiting on citizenship for over a decade some of them.
They pay income, property and sales taxes. Their kids go to public schools that their taxes help to fund. They have debt and credit scores. They’re active contributing members of society. However they have no say in how any political system they live within is run and have the spectre of deportation to worry about now.
For those not seeking citizenship it’s even worse. C-suite executives and corporations profit heavily from their labor and they’re stuck in limbo. It’s akin to indentured servitude as their presence in this country is predicated on their work. Their boss has a lot of say in how and where they live their lives.

More research into the ripple effects
is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Pythons are a problem in Florida, I’m not arguing against that. Building a profit motive around them is counter productive to lessening their ecological impact.
- Comment on Python [Snake] Meat Could Be a Sustainable, Nutritious Food Source, Scientists Say 2 weeks ago:
That doesn’t make them a food source. Also making them a food source would incentivize some one to breed or increase the extent population.
If we want to control the Python population we need to do so with CRISPR, or birth control, or nest culling.
Injecting a profit motive into controlling invasive species often does not work out. Look to wild boars, pigeons or lampreys for proof.
- Comment on How the H-1B System Undercuts American Workers 2 weeks ago:
You want H-1B workers, fine! They get citizenship after a year. They get taxed at the same rate as anyone else so they also get a vote. Taxation without representation. Fuck that
- Comment on Python [Snake] Meat Could Be a Sustainable, Nutritious Food Source, Scientists Say 2 weeks ago:
When will they be sustainable? What’s their main food source? How is that food source more efficient than grain/grass?
- Comment on I never realized this 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think stupid is the correct word, however I do think there are efforts to make independent thought and trouble shooting more difficult for the working class. There is a pretty large incentive for the ruling class to have the least educated population there can be.

I think it’s gone down tbh. The average human is not experiencing the same novel problems that require troubleshooting and focus. A lot of thought is just decision based these days.

The one time the UK listened to Nigel Farage they ended up with Brexit. So take that into account when you hear him speak.
- Comment on Belgium's sex workers get maternity leave and pensions under world-first law 1 month ago:
TBH I assume this chud doesn’t view sex work as work and assumes that the sex workers are being paid to do something they enjoy.
- Comment on Belgium's sex workers get maternity leave and pensions under world-first law 1 month ago:
Nah. I write computer code, it’s very similar especially when it comes to managing clients.
- Comment on Belgium's sex workers get maternity leave and pensions under world-first law 1 month ago:
Sex work is real work. Everyone of us trade our bodies or our minds for pay.

- Comment on Plex redesigns its app to look more like a streaming service 2 months ago:
I host a media server of 72TB of classic movies, cancelled TV shows you can’t get on streaming. I do this for family and friends who don’t have the patience or know how to run a media server this size. I have a catalog of over 7k movies and 400 TV shows. I am likey the only use case for this. However I do appreciate it.
For personal use I usually suggest jellyfin.

Tesla FSD doesn’t exist. Musk lies and says it does to pump Resla stock. Tesla drivers think they have FSD so they pay less attention and are then more likely to have an accident.
