  • Yeah all the answers I’ve seen so far either dismiss this or discuss the word “pop”.

    “Believe” was pop, and did she particularly do rock a lot? Cause I can’t recall. And I’m sure she’s awesome, but that still doesn’t automatically make her eligible for a rock and roll hall of fame.

    So either she did rock (and roll), or the name of this list is basically wrong, or she doesn’t belong on there.

    And don’t get me wrong, if she really doesn’t care, good for her. No need to be pissed you don’t get a price, ppl will probably recognize your impact even without a price.






  • What you’re describing in 3. is the exact reason why I said “build software from scratch” btw. Some software just will never work properly or never work period. And usually, every Linux compatible software can technically do 80% of the stuff you need, but even that takes 10x the time and effort. I’m talking 3d applications like AutoCAD, cinema4d, DAWs like FL Studio and Ableton, video cutting like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere Pro, and this is not even talking about use cases where there’s highly specific, proprietary or custom software.

    You either use Windows, or you pay with your time, effort and sanity.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m a data scientist and software Dev and I know there are good reasons why Linux should be the golden standard. But I’m also a realist and while I love the idea of what Linux’ goal is, it’s a really hard sell for most non computer science people.




  • I disagree.

    Both sides are bad, no matter who is currently the aggressor.

    Now because there is aggression, the aggressor has an obligation to stop it, and we have an obligation to force a stop in the conflict as well. But that doesn’t make the other party less Bad in this. Both sides killed a lot of innocent people, both have inhumane ulterior motives and both are supporting further escalation. But ofc if there’s only one party doing the fighting, then that’s the party that acutely needs to be stopped.

    This distinction is very important to me, because you are not suddenly the good guy because you stopped killing civilians. You are just not actively doing war crimes which means we don’t have to intervene because of you anymore, which is at least one less reason. But you are not holy because “this year it was only 300 war crimes”.
