For most of us, we aren’t in college to learn a specific skill so much as we are there to learn how to be taught. To prove we are capable of taking instructions and producing results as requested.

This is true to the extent that you won't be solving Organic Chemistry 1 or Linear Algebra exercises at your workplace, but I think it's misleading. If anything, from my experience, people focus too much on producing the results and not enough on learning the skills. A lot of people stay on the mindset of "I only need the degree / where am I going to need that / the industry has moved on from this" and don't build strong foundations

dust: better version of du. There's also diskonaut which is an interactive tool.

spaces in rm are a classic one, they're even mentioned in the Unix-haters handbook

which is kinda stupid because they have two words for 4 (shi and yon) and only shi sounds like death.

We have to change our voting system

You think that one of the two major parties will help you do away with the voting system that favors the major parties? This is not how it works. Having a few people that support change in the party is meaningless as long as it is not a stated objective (which it isn't)

Maybe the democrats should pull their heads up from their asses and realize that "vote for us or else" doesn't have the rallying power they think it does, especially when they're repeating it every election cycle.

Just some thoughts from someone outside the US.

GPLv3 fixes that

Because Arch's philosophy is being easy to develop, not easy to use

That's the WM or DE plus the individual programs. An i3 install with the same dofiles will have the same aesthetics on each distro.

Not really, since bits and bytes represent the same dimension of data.

Your argument is like saying "why say a car can do km/h when it is really m/s"

You're equating monthly cloud storage payments to paying 40$ per TB of external HDD storage?

For reference, 200GB of iCloud storage are 3$/month, so 36$ per year.
