There’s very less evidence to support that. I can only recall one incident where a blanket infected with small pox was handed out to a tribe and the officer who did that was later severely reprimanded.
But anyhow, I am not trying to downplay the ill intent of European settlers, I will just quote this here “history is written by victors”. The blanket incident is all I recall about deliberate disease spreading. who really knows? How many hundreds of such incidents went unreported?
To be fair more people died from the diseases brought by the settlers.
Is this an online quiz? I wanna take it
Plot twist: you elder brother has been the lead KDE propagandist all along.
Yeah that’s totally not a worse death.
When you think about it, it really did change the world for almost a century. It lead to ww1 which sowed the seeds for ww2 and when that came to end, communism had been strengthened enough by stalin capatalizing under the pretence of a nazi free Europe.
Unpopular opinion: it’s more of a coping mechanism for the third world countries.
Sure UK and much of Europe had big and terrible colonies but there were still many like sweden and norway which did not. Thus the assertion that developed countries all have built upon exploitation is not entirely true
Assertion 2: countries such as china have shown that economic development is possible when you have a terrible history of war, destruction or otherwise poor economic background. Sure personal freedom is a joke in China but to say it isn’t an economic giant is false. Poland after ww2 is another example, much of their intellects were killed and warsaw was everything but ruins at the end of 1945
Assertion 3: geography, the age groups of the people and culture all affect the development of a nation much more than their history from 80 years ago.
- from someone who has keen interest in history and lives in a third world country and seen corruption, bribery and every form of idiotic economic decision that a government can make to not let the country be a better place.
Yesss let’s go.
I can finally die in peace.
I was actually refering to the headline in the picture but yeah this is an interesting piece of information too, I know the post’s title was sarcastic but didn’t know it was such a thoughtful joke haha
I have never contributed directly to open source, perhaps because I have never felt truly confident about my programming skills. But I have always done all that I can - starring repos I like, helping beginners with linux related issues, contributing to discussions in forums, promoting foss in a friendly way wherever I can and leaving feedback and reports wherever I can.
I guess it’s something Yet I find my mind wandering sometimes If I am contributing enough.
Right, it makes sense to me now. The double “as” was definitely confusing, but “identified” instead of “named” immediately made the sentence clear. Thanks.
Is it me or the headline is worded strangely?
Ah yes enslaved chromium
Lol that’s a pretty fun idea actually- just to see the commits evolve over time. I know there are over 1 million commits but yeah when you think about it all of them pretty much document the state of kernel at that time.
Some glance at the comments in the video tells me that this video aged like wine, the guy might be harassing coworkers. I say might because, I am not 100% sure.
You might as well tell others to just use windows at this point.
Edit: Yeah sorry, my point is that freedom is what makes linux linux. I don’t really think you have ever used linux mint before and I don’t want to sound like a white knight for linux mint but you should atleast be a little less condenscending towards a distro that has been among the top distro for beginners to switch and has fulfilled the role of a full OS without ever needing for many like me to dig too deep into linux configs and stuff. Mint’s development towards debian is only a good thing for many users like me because it preserves the future in case of a ubuntu upstream issue, besides freedom is the spirit of linux.
It has the verified mark and I am absolutely sure a reputed platform like Twitter doesn’t approve those for random accounts.
Nope it’s me that doesn’t care more about this than you!
