Phone runs Android. I used to work as an Applecare Advisor supporting iOS and OS X.


Heavily inspired by? I understand that Linux is not derived from Unix source code. But the system architecture… Is extremely similar and in many ways functionally the same.
In art, music, literature, architecture, and ideas, something can be derivative because it inherits a form, vocabulary, conventions, conceptual framework, or design tradition from something earlier.


“They didn’t oppose X, therefore they accepted X, therefore they supported X.”
An argument from silence combined with false equivalence (or invalid inference) does get you -fallaciously! - from non-opposition to support.
“She didn’t say no. I didn’t rape her. She wanted it! She begged for it.”


I do suppose Linux is a Unix derivative. So you’re closest. But no cigar.


BeOS? Oh dear, no.
I could see running Haiku.
Just kidding, no way!


There’s typically a keyboard shortcut to copy things sans formatting (plain text.)


… Menu, then “View original…” with the rainbow pentagram(fediverse icon) copy that link


That brings back a memory. I got banned from the computers in highschool because I sent a message to everyone on the network using netware. They called me a hacker. It’s literally just clicking the system tray icon and go into like send message… The message? “Hello World!”

I’ll sleep soundly.
I’d personally distinguish “support” from “indifference, ignorance, resignation, partisan loyalty, and prioritization of other issues.” That’s actually central to your argument. If 30% approve of something, that doesn’t mean 30% are committed ideological supporters willing to defend every aspect of it. Political polling is not a census of people’s souls.
Links to the specific polls vaguely referenced would also be helpful.
