@bookie @gedaliyah And rivers and crystals are alive, if you define "alive" broadly enough.
What, then, makes a given definition useful? True?
What does it mean to be conscious?

@ExLisper @Vedlt who's The cliffhanger in the second movie was legit homage to the old Saturday morning serials ,Buster Crabbe style. Not that I liked it, but I think it's legit. However, there is no forgiving the Ewoks, the yub yub dance, Jar Jar Binks, or a thousand and one other crass marketing grabs. And by the way, Han fucking shot first, mother-fucker.

@9tr6gyp3 @stat_rosa it's a predatory marketing issue and consumer capture issue. Notice also you no longer own your windows. It's just a license. But your Linux, like free speech free like free beer. Since there's no money in that, no shareholder return to protect, no politicians to be bought, it will always be a back burner reality in the corporate consumerist world.
