Killing other humans is often justified. For instance, it would be completely justified to kill someone who was in the process of shooting up a school.

In the same way, billionaires are guilty of causing the deaths of millions of people through their hoarding of necessities. Killing the billionaires would allow this wealth to be redistributed, saving potentially millions of lives.

I feel the same way about Americans.

You’ve actually got it backwards. The ranking algorithm (rankdex) developed by one of the engineers that founded Baidu was published in 1996, two years before pagerank. Some of Google’s early patents actually cite the rankdex algo.

Not like it matters here

You’re putting a lot of faith in whoever packages the ‘distro’.

Obviously you have the same problem with trusting FOSS software distributions, but it’s mitigated by things like Linus’ Law and reproducible builds.

That being said, I personally use tiny11 VMs for certain non-critical things at home and work. I’d never use it for anything security related, or as my main OS, as there is a non-negligible chance that it’s compromised (and there’s basically no way of knowing).

We get on edge about the constant military/economic threat of China

Not everyone in Australia watches Sky News

Fuck zionists

Why do bots! Love exclamation marks! So much!

Where else does this happen regularly?

No, it isn’t. You can fully believe in people’s ability to rehabilitate and change, while also being aware that not everyone rehabilitates and changes.

The needs of the perpetrator of a crime need to be balanced against the needs of society at large. This is why you get your license taken away from you when you drink and drive, or why you end up on a sex offenders register.

In this case, there’s a valid argument to be made that this person represents a danger to society, and the need to protect/inform people from him outweighs his desire to not have past crimes revealed.

Hard to make the poor people richer when the rich are taking an increasingly large share of the pie.
