Nature is healing

Try to think why these supposed “threats” are such a big deal for an alliance of countries so far away from the region to be affected, and you might stumble upon the real reason why they hate China so much.

Spoiler alert, it’s because they can no longer take advantage of China like they did when it was under the boot of the British. They hate that it’s a sovereign country that works for its own benefit, and that their footholds in the region are unable to reverse the course of history as they’d like.

Hating on the humanities has been a talking point of the right wing for a long time, specifically because the empathy it nurtures leads to solidarity instead of survival of the fittest mentality. They say that these studies are useless to society, while capitalists are the only class that truly sits on top of society and leeches off of it

Still, adding feds to a group chat is a management issue, same as inviting people to your home

Maybe there’d be some hope for that to happen if everyone in the EU hadn’t been conditioned to be racist as fuck against anyone to the east or south for centuries

Nobara does seem pretty cool

I’d say Bazzite but I would warn him (and since he’s a developer already it might not be a big deal) if he’s looking to do any sort of dev work or whatever with Bazzite then prepare to utilize stuff like distrobox, flatpaks, etc to accomplish stuff like that

That’s what I figured, I would be very annoyed to have to use images for software I would simply do an apt install for in other distros, so I’ll leave out Bazzite from my options definitely

This is usually a good idea, but I think Arch would be a bit too much for him

Still, any Debian derivative would be just as easy for me to help and also for him to find help online, so that’s the main reason I’d choose Mint over Bazzite

ujust is not a package manager, the way I understand it from this thread is that it’s just a convenience script that internally will use one of the other methods shown in the doc you mentioned (brew or flatpak for example). So it still seems risky to me not to have access to common linux package managers besides brew

A 70 euro KVM Switch that I use to switch all my peripherals between my work laptop and my home desktop at the press of a button. My work has a hybrid office policy, so on the days of the week that I need to pack my laptop or plug it back in, all I need to do is remove or insert three cables from the laptop’s ports only, no need to bend under my desk and move the desktop cable to the laptop. It also means that I can very easily switch between work and personal things when there’s not much to do or I’m waiting for a build etc.

that looks really cool, but I’d never risk it malfunctioning and hurting my cats, no amount of good reputation would be enough for me to risk it

Was on vacation to Italy waiting for the train to go to another city, and we met another couple there from Mexico that made some small talk. They told us that they’re going to get married after this trip, then we then talked about our countries and the economic and political struggles of them both, and they gave us a Mexican peso which we had never seen before. Despite it being a pretty small moment compared to all of the amazing things we saw in Italy, this is still one of the fondest memories of that trip

Rawtherapee is really fucking good, I used it on Windows before discovering Linux

really putting the ‘fed’ in ‘piefed’

It’s also very interesting how someone who seems to really dislike a country they don’t live in having what they claim to be a social credit system, are the ones who actually implement the fucking thing in their own software

I don’t think anyone is gonna hack you because of bash being a larger codebase

If I absolutely had to pick one as insecure, it would be anything other than bash since it has been around for so long, has its code read by so many people, that there’s no way that a major hole exists in it

Overall though I don’t think security or performance is a good metric for you to pick something as simple as a shell, just pick the one that gives you the best experience and features. Being compatible with bash is a big plus because it’s the industry standard, like zsh for example

Maybe some instances can be de-federated if it’s shown over time that they exist specifically for that purpose, but on a platform level I don’t think anything can be done, not without messing up the core feature of it at least which is decentralization through ActivityPub.

It’s inevitable that it will happen as popularity increases and certain organizations become aware of it, it will have to be a constant struggle unfortunately, similar to socialist states existing alongside aggressive capitalist ones.

Great take, I hadn’t thought of it like that but it makes perfect sense and explains certain behaviors in a certain thread

I used to experiment around with various distros some years past until I got into Arch. Haven’t distro hopped once since, I’ve completely erased Windows from my life and I’m gaming exactly as I would if I was on Windows. I never have trouble finding a package since almost everything exists either in the official repositories or in the AUR, and I get the latest versions with all the new features and fixes. Rarely some things do break because of the rolling releases, but it’s almost always just a matter of a single google search to fix. For me it’s worth it for having all the latest versions of everything.

My opinion would be different for a server or a work laptop where stability is much more important. For servers I would pick Debian for sure, for work laptop I’d consider Fedora probably

Trump may be the perfect idiot to act as the facade of the capitalist class and pull all the spotlights on his person, but he isn’t the one calling all the shots. As always, it’s the capitalists that really shape the direction of politics, and now they have a great loud distraction so they can pass all their fascist policies to terrorize the working class and make it all look like the decision of a few bad apples that corrupted “democracy”.

When all this is done, assuming that there will be another election then, they will say that the big bad cheeto man has been defeated and now we can live harmoniously again, returning to the blissful ignorance of everyday class exploitation.
