Debate

-
Debate is often confused with arguing.

An argument is simply a verbal disagreement.

A debate is two opposing sides making a case for their own belief. There's an opening statement, a presentation of facts in support or not in support, a cross examination.

Arguing is natural.

Debate is an art.

Klipsch R5 Bluetooth earbuds

-
My only complaint about these is how none of my devices report battery information. IPhone always says 80%, Pixel, Windows, and Linux devices all reported nothing. An app for these earbuds would be most welcome. Sound quality, superb. I had a pair of Klipsch X11s and these are just as nice. For Bluetooth earbuds, they've really impressed me. Every other pair I've had has sounded tinny. And bottoms/tops out quickly. These guys? Very nice. I haven't had them static out once yet. The mic is also quite nice. It picked up my voice in every circumstance, wind, quite, large echo-y room. And never seemed to be effected too much by what was going on ambiently.

The Open Source philosophy is "You know what's in it. You like it: Contribute. You don't like it: Fork and make your own" That is libertarian at its core. Do what you want, I don't care. If I don't like it, it doesn't matter cause I don't use it. I'll fork and make my own community. Do we need morality? Yes. Do we need some sort of societal order? Not really. Hear me out. What is better because the government touched it? What has actually improved after the government got involved? People breaking the law being punished? Yes. People doing what they want and the government saying they have to do it differently? No. Murder? Government should be involved. Insurance? Fork and make your own. See, the reason insurance is so expensi...

PowerShell

PowerShell attempts to solve the problem of Windows being GUI oriented and having little to no CLI controls. The trouble is PowerShell sucks. The syntax is inconsistent and there is no verbose option for 90% of the commands. Compared to the POSIX consistent shells, PowerShell is still very, very, VERY immature.
