Lawyer here: this isn’t necessarily correct and in America it’s state dependent. There are absolutely parts of the law you can waive, including negligence of a party which is likely your bungee jumping scenario with the rope snapping.

Thank you for your helpful replies! I will put it in my “someday” inbox when I feel the need to shave some yaks or when debina/ubuntu/fedora piss me off about something. :)

Thoughts on NixOS? I have heard a lot of positive buzz, but I don’t think I understand it fully. (I’m primarily debian, ubuntu, fedora, arch user, and I’ve admin’d a FreeBSD server too).

There was another change in control of it in the early oughts I thought. Maybe not ownership but whomever was running the site changed.

Slashdot in its heyday was great. Then that sale happened. Somehow I ended up skipping Fark and Digg.

How’s revolt?

Check out org-mode in emacs. It’s amazing.

Well, I don’t think it will STB, but YouTube needs a FOSS equivalent that has the same capabilities sans ads. But, that’s $$$$ infrastructure so I don’t know if that will ever come.

BUT, I really hope that by the time Discord pisses off its users, that matrix or another federated equivalent will have figured out the UI/UX to capture a large chunk of those users. I used to live in IRC, but discord finally killed it. And I hate using proprietary software for so much chat.
