Started his life supporting genocide. Ended his life supporting genocide.

May he learn something in his next life.

I like Luhmann’s theory better. What i like about it is that Luhmann argues that the smallest denominator of a social system is a realation between two. Habermas says it can be brought down to an individual. Which in my mind defeats the “social” part.

Where exactly in Habermas is such an idea expressed?

I love his

but feel this ponderous two-volume set

is thoroughly refuted by our last two decades of experience with electronic communications.

Very interesting! I hope it gets upstreamed soon, there's a ton of potential for "mental overhead" simplification in the nix ecosystem, this seems like it could be a huge help for that.

Hi, I'm the founder of Docker. I started it in 2008 (under the name Dotcloud) and left in 2018.

How did it feel the first time you or someone on your team built a container and ran it?

idk, is "drug trafficking" enough justification to topple a country? I don't really think so. And the claim is rather spurious anyway...
biggestlou · 2 months ago
Ignoring the results of an election seems like a reasonable justification to topple a specific leader (no country is being toppled here)
