  • Oh, I actually meant Windows at home. Windows at work is definitely problematic.

    But at home, for my own stuff, Windows just works, with zero setup or maintenance hassle. I used to do the whole Linux thing, had set up dual boot (again for games that only work on Windows ) it was not only not fun, what was I getting out of it? I found myself not even booting to Linux because it literally was not providing me with anything I needed.









  • A lot of people swear by this whole “death of the author” philosophy because it let’s them ignore the literal stated intent of the author in favor of whatever pet theory they have. Which is fine, but you can’t use it in a debate about theories about the work. There isn’t a right answer to what you want to believe, but there often IS a right answer to what the actual author actually intended, especially modern authors in the age of information.








  • Question, do these bodies have teeth? And if so would these teeth exist without the EU?

    My understanding of the EU is that the only thing they can really do to coerce uncooperative members is threaten to revoke membership.

    So, if these bodies are not EU, and it wants to impose a sanction against a member nation, by what mechanism can it enforce that?

    Just wondering.
