@alas @vaporeon_ not sure

@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

mornyawn btw . also @clock, what time is it

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)

@vaporeon_ yeah that should be completely reasonable

@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

@wallhackio @Lucy tea is delicious though

mornyawn btw . also @clock, what time is it

@amy you like the hot and ready sauce?

@coriander haven’t they fur a while? i remember much purrefurring them

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
