Yeah, yeah, all these books say do A and don't do A and the hypocrite choose which he likes better to say which is right and who's the true Scotsman... theoretical or historical contexts matters little on street-level reality. Meanwhile, I can safely say all the crap I want about Christianism and even wear anti-Christian symbols, however one must watch his back if he does the same with Islam.
I thought that by always referring to books in the plural, calling it the desert trilogy, and mentioning the Dark Ages, it was obvious that I'm not singling out the burning of the Qur'an as good... in my country, it's not Muslims who have infected politics and try to push religious law, but a sect of fundamentalist Christians... yet, the laws they want pale in comparison to sharia, so I feel sorry for countries with people on the streets calling for sharia.
You are asking the wrong group to stop being asshole*
Burning religious books is a reaction to religious people being assholes... when they are not assholes people don't burn their books. It reminds me this cartoon I saw once, a priest beating a guy with a huge cross calling him sinner, infidel, or whatever, and then the guy gets fed up and takes the cross from the priest and breaks it, then the priest starts crying religious intolerance.
She is pretending the Muslims are ok with it and he is just being silly and juvenile and no one cares, but in reality Muslims have already rioted and murdered several people for it.
Yeah, the real reason is that the followers of these books want to push their beliefs onto others, turn them into laws, and ignoring them won't make them go away. In every place where the followers of these books became the majority, the minorities are extremely repressed. The last time we were entirely ruled by those books, it was known as the Dark Ages, but there are several other countries currently living in their own Dark Ages because of the same desert trilogy. That book literally says its followers should kill me and others just because of the way they were born, so fuck it, it deserves no respect from anyone, it has nothing to do with race, it's 100% religion.
If people following those books could stop trying to impose their stupid beliefs on others, that'd be great... You don't see anyone burning Hindu, Buddhist, and Taoist texts, do you? Well, I mean, except for when we see Muslims destroying historical and archaeological sites of these and other religions because they're not their religion...
I wanted to test this DuckDuckGo browser and had to create firewall exceptions to improving.duckduckgo.com and staticcdn.duckduckgo.com just to be able to install it... I already had it blocked because sometimes I use duck.ai and the connection to those domains serves no purpose to the service, and I had already opt-out of the "anonymized" telemetry, so I don't know why I was still connecting to improving.duckduckgo.com... off to a bad start.
There is no official communication between the NSA and Linus Torvalds. In 2013 when he was asked about a Linux backdoor for the NSA and said no while shaking his head yes, it's officially considered just a joke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gRsgkdfYJ8
Later that year his father mentioned it again... is it an official hearing? It seems like they are also questioning people from Microsoft, but I didn't find info on that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwRYyWn7BEo
Red Hat introduced systemd in 2010. My info about it being a subsidiary of a Big Tech was incorrect and I removed from my original message. It was only bought by IBM in 2018.
I had a page I recommended some niche movies, comics, etc, I wanted to move it to Mastodon, but just mentioning the name, year, creator/director/writer/co-creator/etc, what it's based on, a short summary and commentary where I try to be very succinct, it's already over 500 characters... it's worse if I try to quote something from it... the future is for those that can only read headlines.
The whole point of the sacrificial lamb is to be sacrificed. Without Judas, the prophecy wouldn't be fulfilled, so the only way he could betray Jesus was by not turning him over to the Romans.
While all the other disciples pretended not to know him, Judas stood up and said, "Yeah, that's him", the real MVP.
From what I heard, people hate systemd because Linus Torvald was approached by the NSA to create a backdoor on Linux, he said it wouldn't be possible to change the kernel because there were too many eyes on it, there was a mysterious hack of kernel.org introduced a mysterious code but it was spotted and removed... well, what was the only other thing common to all Linux? The sysv-init, but it was too small, too tight, too specific for them to create a backdoor there, they needed something big, bloated, doing way more than it should do, like it was just supposed to start the system but it can also do unrelated stuff like handling DNS, and an American company shows up bringing systemd, that solved all the problems the NSA had to create a backdoor on Linux, and all distros jumped into the honeypot :)
OP just deflecting and ignoring... here's the deal about privacy:
If the company doesn't advertise itself for not saving logs or selling your data: Don't waste time with the ToS.
They are saving logs and selling your data.
If the company advertise itself for not saving logs or selling your data, but it's American: Don't waste time with the ToS.
The government can legally force them into cooperation while placing them under a gag order.
If the company advertise itself for not saving logs or selling your data and it's not American: Read the ToS if you want, but it's not important.
You will hardly find anything that is not open source recommended for privacy. Read independent code review of the software and third party audits of the company.
