Thanks for this explanation. This was my understanding as well, except for the GNU part.

I asked because the parent commenter directly above my first comment made the distinction between the operating system and the kernel. I wasn’t actually sure what the overall umbrella “OS” was for Linux, since as you say the kernel is Linux while there are GNU packages. I can’t really recall someone on Lemmy saying what exactly the operating system is for any given computer that happens to run Linux as the kernel.

I guess this scratches at what the definition of an operating system is: Windows, macOS, or GNU/Linux. In reality, doesn’t Windows run on the Unix kernel? Why don’t we call it Windows/Unix then? Is Unix used with other “operating systems” that layer on top of the Unix kernel itself?

I went to school for electrical engineering btw and had to take many classes about digital logic and all of the entry level stuff about PCs at a hardware level. Didn’t really get taught much about what goes on top of the hardware aside from maybe microcontrollers with Assembly and C.

Thanks anyways!

Allegedly

As a Linux n00b, now I need to know which is the kernel and which is the OS.

Spain should quickly establish trade relations with China in the absence of trade with the US.

We’ve already seen Germany violate the statutes of the EU by (allegedly) harboring Benjamin Netanyahu while he has an ICC warrant for his arrest.

No strong reasons to stick with the federation right now

What!? TIL. Fuck man

Loved it when Panda Express had their Beyond Original Orange Chicken. Hadn’t had that food for years before they brought in a vegan protein option.

Need more vegan protein options everywhere!

Please dear god USS Gerald Ford soldiers keep shitting so the carrier is incapacitated and the US can’t invade

it is not true.

It is

It is not. I’m sorry you have a different version of reality.

Both of you admitted animals are lesser when you negated artificial insemination with rape. There’s no going back now.

You’re telling me to be civil while theunknownmuncher’s beliefs are allowed room to breathe.

You take a side when you do this because these types of belief should be silenced. Genocidal, violent, psychopathic beliefs should not be given platforms to fester online.

Telling me to be civil is muting the response needed to counter these horrific ideas. This type of apologia and these kinds of ideas contribute to furthering domestication and slavery of animals.

You are being the equivalent of a US Liberal telling Leftwingers to follows rules and procedures to counter Right-wing fascism. Ideas of oppression, no matter the group of people or species of life, need to be shunned.

Then why won’t you say that artificial insemination IS rape?

Because that’s my whole argument. It has been my whole argument, and will continue to be my whole argument, regardless of how much you try to derail the conversation.

Artificial insemination is not a veterinary procedure though. It’s a forced action on a animal that violates their consent.

How the fuck do y’all not recognize this.

I’m questioning your support for psychopathic opinions. Because it is psychopathic to think of animals as lesser beings compared to humans that deserve less dignity, respect, and moral consideration.

That is what both you and theunknownmuncher are defending. Disgusting.

Theunknownmuncher said that I trivialize the experience of human rape victims. I never said anything that would trivialize their experiences. I advocated for broadening the scope of what we call rape to more than just humans. It’s anthropocentric to think that only humans can be raped.

Does this sub encourage bad faith discussions? That seems to be against the principle of civility.

Meet psychopathy with civility? Interesting response.

You made a personal attack when you put words in my mouth and forced me to take a position I never held.

I’m defending myself accordingly.
