El Salvador is literally running a death camp, they don’t plan to ever release the prisoners. They just keep them alive for free labor and to avoid the stigma of running a Holocaust; but Germany was the same at first, they only ramped up the death at the end of the war.

The south was actually more accepting of Jews than the north at the time (as long as they had the right complexion). Thousands served in the confederate army, many holding high rank.

VLC definitely has evangelists, they have just become the dominant culture so you don’t really notice it. They don’t have an advertising budget, it got popular through word of mouth.

I think Linux enthusiasts appear more evangelical because of the deep entrenchment of Windows; you are noticing the push back and debate, whereas with VLC you just see people recommending it and people being grateful for the recommendation.

And if it’s SQLite (which I believe is the default) it’s really just reading and writing a file on the file system.
