This comment has got me in a spin. Isn't GNOME the standard DE of fedora workstation?

If people could delay their gratification, and just not buy form scalpers then more chips will become available, and will get greater profits and the scalpers will be left holding the bag.

Win win win.

Didn't be obtuse.

To fix your logic "It would be a failure if his goal was to keep his movement alive at any cost". That clearly wasn't his goal.

Or have I missed the point entirely, and this is not a discussion but some point scoring thing based on digestible one liners.

It's not a failure, he made a choice. In hindsight we see it as the wrong choice, but we don't know what the alternative is. We will never know if it was right or wrong, failure or success.

Nothing is ever so simple.

Cold turkey worked for me. Took me 4 attempts. I wasn't hard on myself for failure, I noted what happened (emotional trauma, stress, alcohol) and prepared myself for the next attempt.

I wanted to quit, so when I relapsed it's not because I wanted to smoke but because those little cancer stick bastards were trying hardest to kill me. But if they were going to be tough, I could be tougher. I found it easier when I could see the cigs as my enemy.

Look, I don't want to disagree with your point.... But I can't stand by as you suggest that we evolved from cave men.... We may have created civilisations, but we've not evolved into a civilized creature... We're still as uncooked as were 60k years ago.

10 years ago I learnt that southern New Zealand slang uses bespoke or custom as an indicator of poor quality. Someone shittly welded a tow ball onto their car, that's a 'custom job'.

Your poorly assembled second hand IKEA bookshelf that's falling apart and well fucked? A bespoke piece of furniture.

Those words have never bothered me since. Thanks kiwis.

The correct response to this is to ask them to move their bag and sit next to them, whilst there are other empty seats next to other people nearby.

Punish their greed.

I'm inclined to suggest some minor edits... "Either you voted yes or you're unengaged and/or racist and/or have been manipulated by a brazenly racist no campaign."

Can't be solved, says only country in the world where it happens regularly.

Well your first statement is a subtle strawman. Ross said this way is the only way, because no one else is trying, not that it was the right way.

Secondly, fallacy fallacy, just because it's a false dichotomy doesn't mean it's not also correct. Can anyone just start up another initiative now? Not technically, but practically. Or would any serious attempt just join this movement to add to the momentum. Then if this fails, when can another attempt be made, how long till the 'political will' burnt by this campaign is regenerated?

That's sure is some verbose ignoring you've been doing.
