I've seen a world where access to knowledge and power is paywalled. And I've seen the one where that freedom is a granted right. I know which one I picked, and it's because SO HELP ME, IF I CAN'T FIX IT MYSELF, I WILL BREAK IT MYSELF!

This may shock you, but if you think like this, you might be a hardcore leftist.

Also, I'm reminded of the Ghostbusters (1984) quote:

Dr. Raymond Stantz: Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've WORKED in the private sector. They expect results.

The quote is the least believable thing in this move about ghost blowjobs

Yup. I've been in academia and in private business. Academia pays terribly and expects a fuck-ton more work. I'm sure there's places where you can just sleaze by without doing much, but I never saw them. (Which isn't to say that all academic work is good work. I saw people who got far doing poor research, but they were also working very hard at it.)

Well, programming lessons taught in 2016 are still pretty much going to teach programming now, so it shouldn't be too hard if you put your mind to it.

Not sure what the discussion was, but, I recall they changed terms like Master/slave a few years back (maybe in the linux kernel), to make things nicer. I have no problem with this (not a big deal).

[-] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think changing "slave" is a good idea, but "master" isn't a problematic term; however I still prefer main because it makes more sense to me and it's already a common programming term.

All that being said, we clearly should've changed it to "The Mistress branch" instead.
