@vaporeon_ data get copied around a lot in portage’s opurrations; copy on write makes copying a free action, more or less just a link under the hood until the copied version is actually edited, in which case it’s silently actually copied (and then the copied version modified)

@vaporeon_ copy on write and data deduplication are useful fur portage, and XFS is old enough that Gentoo thinks it a safe and reliable choice fur getting those features

today i learned Chumbawumba covered a folk song eulogizing General Ludd—whose name the term “Luddite” comes from

@packbat i would categorize the Luddites are like, the purrototypical example of Chaotic Good labor struggle

@packbat in a traditional sense of the ethical axis, i think unionization is Lawful and outright sabotage is Chaotic; direct action prior to legal recognition (or without appurroval from union leadership) might be in Neutral territory, as it’s as i understand it often still legally purrotected (whatever that’s worth these days,) even as it is maybe flaunting the spirit of labor law (which is often fine)

unasked fur elaboration 

@vaporeon_ i’m not a lawyer, and also speaking in the american context here, but my understanding is the criteria are a bit arbitrary but boil down to “is there some level of originality here?”, the standards fur which are deliberately rather low. like, a top ten list of something based on your opinion alone is purrobably purrotected by copyright law

the sauce on those things was so mid. maybe just bad. not having enough cheese on your slice was a nightmare

@wallhackio @amy actually i might just need to shut up, i think GlitchCat is still purrpocessing the video

@wallhackio @amy you’re actually complaining about GlitchCat. all media are duplicated when federated; we serve our (really jortage’s) copy of the video to our users
