It works. I knew someone with a record who took this approach.
Just being self-employed is usually enough. I've been SE for decades (no record) and my only background checks were by private agencies for developmentally disabled adults. These were existing clients who later put me on the payroll - and that's when they checked me out. But not when I was 1099.
[..]"Even worse, Xorg has a mandate to never break userspace"[..]
Xorg is a major fundamental part of the "desktop" part of "Desktop Operating System
The fact that you even listed it as an "issue" with Xorg immediately disqualifies you from making any further statements on the issue
If you think that it's acceptable for a minor software update to break down potentially hundreds of not thousands of office workstations then you are quite frankly insane
By itself, it's not a bad thing. When we are shipping extensions for two-button mice in C with no automated testing, fuzzing, or security review, and no mouse has used those extensions in decades, and that until recently ran as root, that's a problem.
Sure, but by that logic, there's nothing wrong with still using cooperative multitasking.
Eventually, everyone involved knows, it's time. And even Linux has had some major rewrites in multiple areas - don't pretend like Linux hasn't changed immensely since 1.0. Xorg though... hasn't that much...
that is literally not true lol. No other drug gives you cancer in various area of your body. No other drug makes you more of it in less than an hour, except maybe heroin. And heroin should never be tried.
Yeah sounds like youve no idea what youre talking about. First off heroin last longer than an hour. Second, many drugs make you want more within an hour (cocaine, benzos, sometimes amphetamines, alcohol)
and many drugs can can increase your cancer risk because many of them do damage to your organ tissue cause they are caustic.
well idk what to tell ya then. People do coke and benzos until theres no more coke and benzos and the frequency just depends on how much you can handle, or in the case of benzos, how quick it takes you to forget your last dose.
Freely? Without any limitations? Of course not man.
25+ for hard drugs, daily limits, mandate taxes go to facilities for treatment and rehabilitation. Take the hundreds of billions from the global black market for drugs and the tens of billions we spend impotently pretending to stop drug dealers with idiotic agencies like the DEA and all of the sudden we turn a GIGANTIC minus in our budget in to a GIGANTIC increase in funding.
So we can start with prescription drugs I assume? Unlimited access to OxyContin for everyone 25+. It's much safer than any illegally consumed opioids after all so what could go wrong? Oh wait..
> GIGANTIC increase in funding.
That's a silly claim unless you tax them to such an extent that black marker drugs become more competitive.
>That's a silly claim unless you tax them to such an extent that black marker drugs become more competitive.
Not at all. First off, all the money we spend on the dea and other drug enforcement could be instantly recouped. Billions for those d.a.r.e clowns ALONE. Plus, I'd wager to say cost of legal production would be a lot lower than illegal production + illicit shipment to end users. That leaves plenty of room to make a decent buck on taxes. But yeah a big portion of money would come from all the idiotic shit we no longer would have to do with drugs legal.

No. That can't happen unless the tax are extremely high which makes black market drugs more competitive. Also it should be perfectly obvious that full legalization would also significantly decrease costs for illegal producers as well.
> But yeah a big portion of money would come from all the idiotic shit we no longer would have to do with drugs legal.
Hard to believe since you don't actually have any figures to show.
You did. Daily limits is a silly idea that's trivial to workaround (effectively users will just end up paying markup on anything above the 'daily limit').
for most drugs I agree but if we were going to be serious about legal heroin and coke and meth and the heavy shit to me it makes sense to say 18 for most shit then 25 plus a license to get the heavy shit
Even if you don't think it's a large issue morally or whatever, the money we spend policing them, the drugs they do, and the immense wealth of black market dealers should all show you it is a major problem, even if only a financially ridiculous decision for any state to make. Waste money impotently pretending to police drugs instead of generating tax revenue selling them. It's absolutely brain dead how we operate.
