  • You will actually get some hardcore libertarians unironically making the argument that regulations are completely unnecessary as long as you have a strong court system to award damages in the event that harm is actually done to an individual.

    Which, sure, in a frictionless, spherical universe full of perfectly rational actors that exists only in a textbook, maybe that argument has some merit.

    In the real world it means arguing that disfiguring people or giving them horrific terminal cancer should just be a line item on your ledger, next to rent and breakroom coffee.




  • If people don’t want these things in their air, why don’t they just vote with their wallets and NOT BUY products that create these byproducts, or move to a place that better suits their snowflake-lungs?

    Worst case, if you develop cancer after 5 years of exposure, you can exercise your right to sue the company for damages and be made whole again.

    We don’t need government hamstringing industry when the free market can sort these things out!

  • Beginner here (to Linux and networking anyways), running Unraid for about 18 months now. Fully agree, it’s been great for actually getting up and doing useful things quickly and relatively pain free.

    Eventually I would like to try working backwards and getting things running on a more “traditional” server environment, but Unraid has been a great learning tool for me personally.

    It’s like… Maybe some folks learned to overhaul an engine before they got their driver’s license, but lots of people just need to a car to get to work and back today, and they can learn to change their oil and do a brake job when the time comes.
