I actually like potatoes, the safest food in terms of digestion and, sorry, body odors. With some sunflower or olive oil and salt potatoes are actually delicious. Add just some beef or herring, and some raw onions cut in rings (preferably the red sweet ones, but not necessarily), and maybe some thyme, and it becomes the food that should be.
Except I’m too lazy to go grocery shopping for that herring alone.
As I said, it’s a baseline for Turkey. Relative to that baseline he’s almost an Islamist, yep. Relative to it he was also a liberal initially.
Ah yes, the guy who had no ill will towards anybody, tried to unify people to the best of his ability, and provided cheaper food for the poor… is a Nazi!
You mean Mustafa Kemal had no ill will when his army was massacring 200k Armenians in Kars and further during Turkish-Armenian war of 1920? Or burning Smyrna with its inhabitants?
The best argument in favor of any pessimism about future is how Westerners conditioned to know that Hitler is bad, very bad, praise Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. BTW, in kinda similar terms to the popular praise of Hitler in English-speaking countries before the war.
As a person he was absolutely not better, however he was intelligent enough to pick achievable goals.
I know, it’s basically impossible to be a politician in Turkey and not some kind of that.
If you look at most Sunni societies, their political ideology optimal point is simple - behead all the infidels, take all that belongs to Muslims, and that’d be all that Muslims claim, and institute Sharia law.
Young Turks and Kemal managed to transform that into a viable nationalist ideology. To be centered on Turks instead of Sunnis.
No secular regime in a Middle-Eastern Muslim country after them has managed to achieve that.
So - Erdogan’s Muslim part in ideology is about equating Muslim and Ottoman, not about returning to the initially described system.
Well, compare setting up replication under Oracle and PGSQL.
Ekrem is Kemalist, which is very similar to a literal Nazi, but in the current world I’ll even agree he’s kinda better than many other variants.
I don’t get your confusion.
Sun buys StarOffice, Sun opensources it into OpenOffice and supports its development, Sun goes under and gets bought by Oracle with all its stuff.
Then yeah, Oracle killed most of what Sun was doing altruistically (or as part of their desktop\workstation strategy that didn’t transpire, who knows). Including OOO.
with a database and a tech company attached
There are three real DBMS options for enterprise - Oracle, PGSQL, MSSQL, and Oracle is the most powerful and least problematic of them.
Companies are not beholding to their customers, they are beholden to stock owners.
I don’t think you realize how much of an improvement this is over other really existent options.
One can be a serf, or a slave, or a city dweller in a privilege-based society, or a peasant in some despotic kingdom. The list of options is long, none are good.
Fuck Oracle,
Suppose so
fuck Sun,
Either you are so ignorant you don’t know what Sun was, or you are out of your fucking mind.
and fuck Larry Ellison
That’s up to everyone, I personally don’t find him that attractive
You’re talking the CEO of a company who sued Google on the premise that header files, a descriptor file for what commands can be used and what parameters they took, should be copyrighted?
Oh. That part I didn’t know.
The CEO who poisoned the OpenOffice community so thoroughly that the fork, LibreOffice, was founded by the leaders of OpenOffice and became the de facto standard instead of the original, and it happened overnight? That guy?
Yeah, that was just the habit probably.
*Humanity problem.
There are some solutions invented, but they require work and revolutionary wars. And the functioning system, I think, will be as close to ancap as to Trotskyism. Won’t be clearly “socialist”.
Especially those who are perfectly in the right legally and morally.
Dunno, Larry well understands what he does unlike most tech CEOs and owners today. Oracle was allied to Sun at some point. Larry has that demonic appearance, but he’s less of a threat than literally anybody else of them. Especially since Larry already has enormous power which he abuses less than expected.
Why does it matter if its RFK stupidity or outright eugenics. Both are wrong.
Google the word “deontology” and ask yourself why it’s most important for doctors and military commanders.
There is no justification.
Of course there is, people do such a huge multitude of wrong things, that such a little one having no justification would equate it to unimaginable evils, and thus normalize those evils. Don’t do that.
Police in a European country has no justification to ignore (and even help) a daughter of another country’s president holding enslaved people in her basement and showing them to princes of that country like animals, and her little torture room, and those princes treating it as normal, and her just calling police when someone of those enslaved people dies.
RFK Jr has all justifications possible to be stupid. Now him putting his paws on someone’s medical records may be just illegal, so maybe someone should put pressure on that point.
Try pitchforks
I’m compensating people carrying water for something unknown. It’s better to not argue in the directions unknown just because they are opposite to known bad.
You probably mean Windows Phone, not mobile. Yes, Windows Phone 7 and 8 on Nokia phone were really compelling.
No, I mean Windows Mobile. Windows Phone with those tiles - no.
Once Apple had a foot in corporate, their success became cemented.
Dunno, it felt like the cult part fired much earlier and for much longer.
Why is everyone jumping at eugenics when RFK Jr. behaves generally and on this subject like a typical person (of the generation exactly right for that) who’s been frightened to death in the childhood by a suspicion that they may be autistic, or some event like a meltdown in unfortunate circumstances, so now has that idea that autism can be cured, because he thinks he’s been cured. Or something like that.
Now, I’m extrapolating a very specific case of my dad (had ideas similar to RFK Jr’s on health for some purposes ; I can’t find a system in separating cases where he feared doctors as if they were spreading black death, and would pick a fortuneteller over them, and cases where he trusted any medical worker over anything I had to say), whom I know to have had such childhood trauma for certain.
I mean, with a guy who likes spending time alone with wild animals, eats raw meat and jumps from honest climate protection activities to this, and reportedly has weird sexual habits, and also talks like RFK Jr. does, suspecting him to be autistic doesn’t seem weird in the least. And then variants connected to him being probably autistic pop up.
I mean, this may lead to eugenics, but this may also be RFK Jr. stupidity and some trauma. I’m repeating myself, stopping.
That’s fine, a human or any other life too only grow until they die.
The problem is that some companies don’t die when they should.
That includes Microsoft and Apple and Intel, among others.
