@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
