Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Your opinion is importantEnglish
3·4 days agoI’m married to a white woman. I think advocacy for segregation is a flawed and impractical position, but, at the risk of hypocrisy, I understand and commiserate with the foundation behind the argument.

This one happened.
A little internet sleuthing will show lots more in your 5 decades of supposedly nothing.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What OSes do Microsoft servers run on?English
3·11 days agoNaturally, I could look it up, but what is Azure Linux?
Is it a fork of RHEL? Cloud Linux? FreeBSD?
Edit: Here it is.
In a similar approach to Fedora CoreOS, Azure Linux only has the basic packages needed to support and run containers. Common Linux tools are used to add packages and manage security updates. Updates are offered either as RPM packages or as complete disk images that can be deployed as needed. Using RPM allows adding custom packages to a base Azure Linux image to support additional features and services as needed. Notable features include an iptables-based firewall, support for signed updates, and a hardened kernel.

11·12 days agoAmericans have had a long tradition of organizing and resisting. The 40-hour workweek was bought with worker’s blood. The apathy of the American body politic is a relatively new attribute, historically. My opinion is that it metastasized in 1971.
~I was taught all of this in American public high school and public university. Howard Zinn was required reading.~

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How would an anarchist society work?English
51·12 days agoTaking the definition at its etymological root, all anarchy means is “without rule”.
In my head-canon, that doesn’t necessarily mean the lack of laws, state, institutions or governance; the implication is that there are no citizens or individuals with permanently elevated authority in the polity of government. Without rulers.
Many, of course, disagree with this mostly on the basis of practicality, but I’d like to think it’s another way to describe the concept of “No gods, no kings, no masters, no slaves.”

A “jig” is afast lively dance, usually somewhat comical in appearance.
Because jigs were often performed as comic interludes or sketches at the end of plays, the word “jig” started to mean a a piece of entertainment or a “performance.”
Eventually, slang-users in Elizabethan England started using “jig” to mean a clever trick or a “con.” If you were “playing a jig” on someone, you were fooling them.
“Up” means that the “time for the performance is up” or concluded. The most common way we use “up” to mean finished is in relation to time. When a clock runs out, the time is “up.”
Imagine a cup being filled with water. When it reaches the brim (the top), it is full; it can’t take anymore. In the same way, when a situation or a “jig” (a trick) reaches its limit of time or tolerance, it is “up” at the brim.
In English, we often add “up” to verbs to show that an action is finished 100%. This is known as a “completive particle” in the study of language.
