Is the operating system "Linux" or "GNU/Linux"? What do you call it, and why?
dicks out for Harambe
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
I lean to GNU/Linux lately because there are a lot of attempts these days to wipe the principles of the FSF out of the picture in favore of a mere "open source" view that's more palatable to corporate plunderers, the same sort who push for more "liberal" licences rather than GPL so that they can grab cheap source code and roll it into proprietary products. A Linux without the principles of GNU behind it and with increasing amounts of unfree software worming its way in is little more than a crappy third Windows/MacOS. Preserve Free Software's freedom.

Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?
If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this:
Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag.
Thanks for listening.

Agreed but what about loli. I mean I know shota is absolutely haram but Stanley Kubrick. True Story?
There's way too many people crying "pedophile" on the internet these days that it's starting to lose its meaning. While there are legitimate cases of actual child abuse, porn, and grooming being inflicted on real children through places like Twitter, Tumblr, and Discord, it becomes a joke when people use said cases to justify their argument on why loli and shota should be banned.

That doesn't mean people won't want to use it at all and it's getting some activity now; it should stay.

Bumping because I think it's an interesting topic
I've found that it is objective, but not in the way people think it is. The vast, vast majority of people will generally perceive art the same way. If a movie is dramatic and does a good job being dramatic than everyone will see it as such.
If we apply this to the theory that art is communicate, than it should follow that good art is art that the public agrees on the artist with.
In other words, the value of a work is subjective, but the clarity of it is objective.
If someone tells a bad joke, the joke isn't bad because it is a joke or even because it was a joke about something you don't like, it's bad because he paced it wrong.
Supposing that goodness in this context means: value, worth, importance.
The way I see it, the concept of goodness is purely a product of human mind.
Since "goodness" is not measurable objectively, it is subjective.
The answer could vary a lot depending on your definition of "goodness", of course. If it is effort taken to create something, you could probably measure that. Or, perhaps, like the other anon said, clarity. Human reaction is measurable, too.
The thing is, however, your definition of "goodness" and the criteria used is still based on subjectivity somewhere down the line. The question is, where exactly? It's based on your values, of course.
OP is asking: "Do you think there are any cases in which certain pieces could be considered objectively better than others and why?"
Taking >>7 anon as an example, he essentially says "if art should communicate, then art should have clarity". If you accept this, then indeed it is a case where one piece of art could be considered better than another one. (not sure if it could be called objective)
Prove me wrong.
Yes but there are boards shittier than this
The important question is : does anyone in this planet even know the existence of the board in the first place?
I can't see any reason to waste any time on it. In the end, isn't all we need already here? Would life in space even be sustainable?
I agree with you
fuck space
To let the human race live on and not end it with the unavoidable end of the world.

The moment that humans leave Earth is the moment that they get cancer from space radiation because humans haven't evolved to withstand the true effects of the Sun due to the Earth's Ozone later.
Let me put it to you this way. No matter what happens, as long as we live , our very existence dooms this planet. now matter how many farms we plant, no matter how many mines we dig, we will never sate the devilish thirst of man. If we do not expand into space (which is an entirely possible prospect) society will collapse in on itself, our need for resources greater than our means to provide them. The sooner we are able to expand into space the sooner our we are able to meet our unstoppable and inevitable demand for resources, and the sooner we can preserve human life, prosperity, and our planet.
Srry for typos. Poor editing skills//
Yes the universe will surely collapse in on itself before our sun dies and we use up all of our resources. How moronic.
Human life is not worth preserving
Harvard Professor Howard Gardner’s brilliant conception of individual competence, known as Multiple Intelligences theory, has changed the face of learning and development. Professor Howard Gardner (Harvard University) has identified eight intelligences including musical–rhythmic, visual–spatial, verbal–linguistic, logical–mathematical, bodily kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intra-personal, and naturalistic.
In recent years, MIT can potentially include existential intelligence and pedagogical intelligence too. Tens of thousands of educators & researchers have explored the practical implications and applications of this powerful notion, that there is not one type of intelligence but several, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in self-understanding!

The teaching of history should convey only facts and be free from political motives, personal opinions, biases, propaganda, and other common tactics of distortion. Every claim that is made about history should also be accompanied by documentation proving its basis. Only responsible scholarship and teaching should be permitted. Those who intend to support particular political interests and agendas should have their biased historical interpretations criticized for lacking proof.
