No, it’s another distinction. Three different things. Something legal can be moral or not. Something made law can be legal or not. For example, if it’s forced in some way so that formally you couldn’t prevent it becoming law, but it’s still illegal, it’s still illegal.

Which is, other than copyright except for protecting the fact of authorship, why all censorship and surveillance is illegal, and, say, why Armenia legally includes Van, Erzurum, Nakhijevan etc, and the fact that Wilson’s mediation and French mandate have been buried by force just means that Cilicia and Melitene are as well.

Restoring law and order takes effort, though.

They meant backdoors hidden in plain sight, so making it readable, but (EDIT: seemingly) innocent. People do that.

It’s possible and not so hard, just too boring for people to do automatically (EDIT: I meant - as part of usual work), and also bureaucrats have a very different MO, one that you need a commercial company infected by that culture for.

Also governments steal money. It’s obvious they do. Both in legal ways, when some secretary has salary disproportional to the work they are doing and the need for it at all, and in illegal ones (just for the fun of it).

It’s about power and dealing with people of their culture.

The state is interested in less dependence from big corps, but its officials are interested in more dependence, because that means huge contracts with little transparency and lots of time to hide things that don’t look nice.

Personally, I don’t get why people don’t mind doing a search to find where windows hid some particular setting 3 submenus deep, but lose their fucking mind over the thought of doing a search to double check which command they need.

Because they like to believe that the former is how smart computer users do things.

And even Slackware was straightforward 20 year ago

Still is.

but without addressing the root cause it’s like plugging one hole as the dam is about to burst.

How would you “address the root cause”? A hint: government agencies are as clueless as you at best, and benefit from the current situation at usual.

What’s the funniest (and saddest) is when people who are supposedly against private discrimination repeat this when it fits them.

Sometimes they do.

But usually yes, people who become Nazis (or similar) are not very inventive, not very creative, don’t have sense of humor and consider themselves (and some majority they imagine) incapable of those, and those capable - weirdos\geniuses\miracles and such.

Which is why their instruments of choice are violence and scams - they think they can’t do anything else. This also excludes really brave people who consider themselves incapable - because a brave person doesn’t have to believe in having some talent to try again and again.

It’s sad really. But at the same time inspiring, since it means that the better we can educate people (or at least teach them bravery, and bravery can be taught) and the more opportunities for development we give them, the fewer Nazis (or similar) there will be.

Closeted Furries will be presented to the world for the degenerate perverts they are

Dunno, this seems like he’s having fun too, just not clearly enough.

Or maybe it’s really that bad.
