And in proper democracies, all of these tribes are represented in parliament and make policy together.

It would get boring if we get comments like this (i.e. that say nothing about the particular comic posted) underneath every comic though :/

Yo, wtf. Their VPN, Relay and Monitor are basically the only Mozilla services I’d use and pay for.

If the “'d” means that you’re not paying for it… That might be the problem 😢

I kinda like the concept, but I’d feel bad about wasting energy rebuilding my custom image every day just so I can have that one extra package installed :/

I don’t get it… Is the joke just that conservative cartoons label everything and use straw-man stereotypes?

Lucky kids. I remember when I switched to Linux and encountered my first app store (Synaptic). That was already such a huge improvement over random .exes, and app stores today are way, way better.

Absolutely. Luckily there are plenty of non-walled garden solutions on Linux, e.g. Flatpak.

I don’t get the supposed reasoning behind that, as in: how are unions creating a “lords and peasants situation”? Who are the lords, who are the peasants?

(Perhaps he’s thinking about the common American implementation, where you have union workers with union privileges, and regular workers without? And then the former would be the lords? Although even union workers don’t rule over their non-union colleagues, I don’t think.)

(Caveat: I don’t really know the Swedish system either, but I doubt he was talking specifically about that.)

This is the main reason I don’t generally rebase on anything except versions I intend to stay on if things work well. Yes, you’ll keep your files and folders, but the updated software will write to them, and those will stay there too.

For example, new versions of Firefox might make modifications to your profile directory that might not work in earlier versions of Firefox. So if your rebase gives you a newer version, than reverting will break your Firefox profile.

(Now with Firefox specifically this isn’t usually a problem, since even older OS releases will have the latest Firefox versions, and Firefox itself is pretty stable too, but the concept could also apply to other software.)
