When you think about it, it really did change the world for almost a century. It lead to ww1 which sowed the seeds for ww2 and when that came to end, communism had been strengthened enough by stalin capatalizing under the pretence of a nazi free Europe.

I don't know man, those tools - they seem rusty to me.

Aye, I can't argue with that
Unpopular opinion: it's more of a coping mechanism for the third world countries.
Sure UK and much of Europe had big and terrible colonies but there were still many like sweden and norway which did not. Thus the assertion that developed countries all have built upon exploitation is not entirely true
Assertion 2: countries such as china have shown that economic development is possible when you have a terrible history of war, destruction or otherwise poor economic background. Sure personal freedom is a joke in China but to say it isn't an economic giant is false. Poland after ww2 is another example, much of their intellects were killed and warsaw was everything but ruins at the end of 1945
Assertion 3: geography, the age groups of the people and culture all affect the development of a nation much more than their history from 80 years ago.
- from someone who has keen interest in history and lives in a third world country and seen corruption, bribery and every form of idiotic economic decision that a government can make to not let the country be a better place.
I have read this a hundred times and it's still as beautiful as the day I first read it.
Yesss let's go.
I can finally die in peace.
I was actually refering to the headline in the picture but yeah this is an interesting piece of information too, I know the post's title was sarcastic but didn't know it was such a thoughtful joke haha
I have never contributed directly to open source, perhaps because I have never felt truly confident about my programming skills. But I have always done all that I can - starring repos I like, helping beginners with linux related issues, contributing to discussions in forums, promoting foss in a friendly way wherever I can and leaving feedback and reports wherever I can.
I guess it's something Yet I find my mind wandering sometimes If I am contributing enough.
Right, it makes sense to me now. The double "as" was definitely confusing, but "identified" instead of "named" immediately made the sentence clear. Thanks.
Is it me or the headline is worded strangely?
Yeah that's totally not a worse death.
