Plus it can allow sending and receiving of email and files, if you so choose.
Stallman has said many times he wasn't trying to move the state of technology forward with GNU projects - just trying to have a libre computing base because it was the best political option.
It would seem to be a good base to build something like ActivityPub on top of.
The FBI doesn't give a shit as long as it's the anus of the average citizen being ravaged. They only care when it's against the 1%.
Every member of the group of heroes in the story is a realized character with their own motivations (borne out more in the DLC), and all of them, if you are looking for a relationship - notice _you_ not the game, would be potentially interested in the player character.
Yes - by reinforcing in people that confidence is disjoint from competence, and that 'trust-but-verify' is the best policy when evaluating people's competence.
Fire (read: impeach/do not re-elect) those that do not their job by spending money not for its intended purpose. Discover this by regular, full, public audits.
Prosecute those who commit embezzlement and larceny and send the to prison if convicted. Make them serve long prison stints with no hope of parole for having violated their position of public trust and bar them from holding public office or lobbying positions on penalty of more punitive prison time.
As it stands, capitalism serves little positive social purpose. The overwhelming majority of laborers get paid little if anything for their work, and still there is a glut of production. So there should be no fear of the world losing lots of great production if there was no capitalism.
Most of the benefit of capitalism is reaped by the middle men, who profit off the work when the laborers that made it have long ceased to do so (if they ever did). Abolishing capitalism will thus mostly affect these middle men, and have little effect on labor itself.
Those laborers that still want to get paid in a capitalism-free era can find business models that don't rely on capitalism, like the military, collective farming, or secret police-like models where one is paid for future work.
I think they disagree with you here, bud.
She was recently determined medically disabled by the federal government and now just needs to get through the financial eligibility steps.
My girlfriend has lupus - diagnosed at eight. The lupus destroyed her kidney by her fourteenth birthday. She got a transplant at sixteen. Her transplant was covered by her mom's insurance with the rest of the costs falling onto our state's medicaid because she was a minor and her mom, an RN, was not well to do. Her medications were also covered by her mom's health insurance and picked up by our state's medicaid program.
She and her mom moved to another state when my girlfriend turned seventeen, so from that point it was her mom's insurance picking up the medication. She and I started dating when she turned eighteen. At that time, all of her drugs, including anti-rejection medications, were $5 per 90 day supply at the local pharmacy under her mom's insurance.
Her mom lost her job when she was 21, so my girlfriend lost her insurance and was unable to afford COBRA. My girlfriend did not qualify for medicaid in this new state because she was not a minor, pregnant, or considered disabled by the federal government despite not being able to work with the lupus. At this time, our best option for her medications were discount mail order pharmacies, which cost $1000 per 30 day supply, which we could barely afford with my computer programmer salary, as I could not add her to my insurance due to us not being married.
For awhile, she was on PCIP and then a plan made available on the ACA exchange. Her premiums were $400 per month, and that made her prescriptions $20 per 90 day supply. So it brought the costs from $1000 per 30 day supply to about $450 per month, counting insurance. We managed to make this work for a few months before I was laid off from my programming gig and lost my insurance.
We moved back to the state she moved from due to a job offer. She still did not qualify for medicaid, but my new job allowed me to add someone to my insurance if we were married or domestic partners. So we got a domestic partnership, and her drugs now again cost $5 per 90 day supply.
So I've been with someone on both sides in America - good insurance, no insurance, basic insurance, and then good insurance again. We really need to find a better system. We've survived by luck and really tight financial planning.
The idea for sudoedit is that it allows you to allow non-root users to safely edit files, and if they shell out of their editor then they've not gained root rights - they edit a temporary file as a regular user and then sudo moves the file into place after it is edited.
