  • That’s partially because like many other words and names (just consider Isis, an important goddess of ancient egypt), “socialism” to most people means the type of absolute control that communist countries usually feature. But of course, as a word/concept, socialism is just the application of socialist policies, not even remotely alluding to some absolute end goal or so. And naturally as a part of society except a tiny minority at the top, most people would benefit from more socialist policies.


  • Well, what do the duty declaration and duty tracking sticker say?

    At least over here there ought to be one that tells you what the seller declared the goods and their value as, and another that tells you either the specifics of the duty fee calculated, or one with a large (over here) letter+number combination that tells you which standard category this falls under (usually for duty free packages).

    50 on 300 is is ~17%, so that’s a pretty normal duty depending on the goods and which country they originate from.








  • Are *buntu flavors risky for my workstation? Should I be considering Fedora?

    Why would they be risky? O.o They’re the preferred workstation setup at my place because Ubuntu is spread enough that it can be relied upon to be the distro admins have the most experience with (which is a self-perpetuating thing, I am aware).




  • If an article hasn’t cited any sources, then, imo, it isn’t news

    News are those sources for a lot of situations. Someone has to create the primary source at the point of something happening or existing. That’s a news article. This can later be cited by somebody else “As reported by Reuters at xyz…”. There exist other sources of course, which are, kinda, The News™️ in their respective areas of events. Scientific findings usually have published works as their primary source. Computer vulnerabilities use CWEs or something equivalent once made public.

    What source could a reporter sitting on a street in a civil unrest cite? Signed, ID-verified, named and double-checked-against-birth-certificate statements from people around him?
