  • "doesn’t remotely understand or is willing to acknowledge any benefits of a standardized Education ..."

    You capitalized 'education' as if it were a personal deity. The 'benefits' of a standardized education is standardized slaves and worker drones who are compliant and obedient to the state and willingly regurgitate the lies the state teaches them. Wipe the clown makeup off your face.

    Some zombies are so mentally damaged by this system that they defend the petty tyrants who brainwashed them. They defend the system that has robbed them of their potential and their humanity.

    "The system of education that we use in the United States (and many other nations) is called the Prussian Model. Born of Prussia’s military failings in the Napoleonic Wars, the German kingdom developed an “education” system designed to indoctrinate children, year-by-year, from age 6 to 16, into full compliance with the state and its military leaders. The point was, bluntly, to ensure that “no German soldier would ever disobey an order again.”"

    "The system worked. To the world’s horror, German soldiers and citizens — despite growing up in what seemed like a liberal democracy — a socialist liberal democracy at that — committed any atrocity asked of them during World War II."

    "The Prussian Model largely explains why American and British schools are so often staffed by compliant rule followers and petty tyrants."

  • Isn't there a meme about that?

  • It was meant to be humor, not a direct critique. And I don't want help, but thanks for offering. Cargo might try to download another gigabyte of data if I touch it!

    I don't care much for looks. I want something that works good. Every time I've tried KDE in the past decade there have been major bugs that crashed things. I use mostly XFCE and OpenBox (both ugly) and the bugs are so infrequent that I can't even remember the last one encountered. I'm so busy getting things done I don't notice how ugly the desktop environment looks.

    You can rekindle the romance by veering off into cryptology. However, the honeymoon is short followed by battered lover vibes.

    I can't blame him. I recently tried to compile a rust app from github. I did not realize that cargo was pulling a GIGABYTE of data on my bandwidth-restricted connection until it was done. Then it wouldn't compile due to version mismatch. So I tried to update the rust version and that started throwing errors. The last thing I am doing is wasting my time troubleshooting such a crappy toolchain. If I have to play inspector gadget just to install the compiler and libraries to compile a small program, you can forget it. Cargo is a monstrosity and it is NOT a good toolchain if you value time and simplicity. I would much rather the maintainer offer binaries for download rather than requiring me to git clone, apt install, realize the deps aren't in the apt repo, hunt down and compile the deps, run make, then troubleshoot forever and a day before I can even do make install. Just give me a binary with everything built in. Kthxbye.

  • Clever License gives real freedom, individual freedom that is absent from the popular ideological licenses. Clever License doesn't need an "enforcement" mechanism because it is a real gift with no strings attached. A gift with strings attached is a snare.

    No strings, no snare. "Do whatever is clever. Do as you wish with this product."

    "... but anyone with a legal department ..."

    And lawyers have to justify their existence above all other considerations.

  • "Otherwise you’re not really allowing them anything."

    "Do whatever you wish with this product."

    That is allowing them anything and everything they wish.

  • Things like "enforcement" and "attribution" are restrictions, the opposite of freedom.

    Why do you want a license that allows you to sue the users of your supposedly free software?

  • you are trying too hard to be clever

  • The point of the CLEVER LICENSE is that there is no "enforcement." It grants ultimate freedom. The recipient of a product under this license can do whatever they wish with it. Enforcement is the polar opposite of the grant of freedom.

    Read the language carefully. I wrote it with clever care.

    "Do whatever is clever. Do as you wish with this product."

    The phrase, "whatever is clever" means, "whatever you find suitable for your purpose."

    The phrase, "do as you WISH" is a phrase of personal sovereignty, of one's own private law, giving unbridled lawful freedom.

    "Do whatever is clever shall be the whole of the law."

    The phrase, "SHALL be the whole of the law" specifies that the terms of the license are private law. Coupled with the prior phrase, the grantee's wish is the only restraint and only enforcement necessary.

    When a monarch says, "I wish to receive porterhouse steak for dinner," he or she will receive it. In law for a sovereign to "wish" is to command.

    This meaning is similar to the phrase, "Your wish is my command."
