I am so sick of this guy.

I hate to say it, but there’s no fast answer to that question.

The best answer seems to be what most smart countries are doing right now… slowly unwinding their dependency on the US and finding alternative suppliers for everything critical they need so they can get the leverage they need to criticize and resist. This has the added benefit of isolating the US economically, reducing its currency’s ability to influence things.

Over time the US will grow less and less able to throw its weight around, and eventually a tipping point will be reached where picking an ideological fight with the US won’t have a major impact. That’s when the US will be stopped.

Gallows are too slow. The guillotine was introduced precisely because you couldn’t effectively and cleanly eliminate problems fast enough.

But I can admit I misread it and thought we were talking guillotines and not gallows at first.

I’ll back off in the interest of not seeing the revolution get bogged down in infighting over WHICH tool we use to execute the capitalists.

That is ridiculous.

You also need a blacksmith.

That’s why they filter directly into spam.

Choose one at random from those with easy installation. Use it for a week. If you like it, stick with it. If it’s frustrating as heck, try another distro. Your skills picked up from the first one will very likely transfer over. As you narrow down your experience with what’s frustrating you, you can pinpoint what things you like and which you don’t and settle on the perfect distro for you.

There is absolutely NO way to know that before you get your hands dirty and see what these options are and their quirks.

I still have a headhunting agency who refers to me as “B42857”. Apparently some bug is getting emails to me addressed to their internal reference number.

This is one of the reasons I really like the lore dive in the Knights of the Old Republic game.

You get down into the deep Sith philosophy, and yes, Sith evil, but there actually IS a deep ideology behind it where you can understand what they’re going for besides cartoonish evil for evil’s sake. An unrelatable and vile ideology, but an ideology nonetheless.

Because he won. This is all over with. This is an enemy he’s already defeated, and he’s not UPSET, he’s HAPPY to see his beaten enemy lamenting about how he’s been beaten. He’s THRILLED about this.

Was Trump culpable? Absolutely. 100%. And he should be in prison. But the useless asshats did absolutely nothing for four years, probably because they were afraid of making him a martyr, and now it’s simply impossible that he can ever be held criminally accountable for anything again. Regardless of what happens from here on out, that stain is on them.

The real vibe of the 90s wasn’t some idea of perfection - there were still injustices and problems everywhere - it was that most people believed and saw evidence that every part of life was getting BETTER. When you saw a problem or injustice, you could actually believe, with good evidence, that that problem was only a couple decades away from being dealt with and gone. The faith that human ingenuity was supreme and we were all more or less on the same “ever upward” trajectory was incredible. We’re probably centuries away from anything like that again, and it’s devastating.

ALL the fungi are super bugs!!!

Welcome to the jungle, baby. You’re gonna die!

Proud morons. Not wanting to admit you’re a goddamn idiot is a hell of a drug.

This was the promise of Brexit - no more of those pesky, overbearing EU safety regulations in exchange for trading deals with the devil for bad products that don’t come CLOSE to replacing what was lost.

In many cases that accessibility is a full-on neutered replacement for a previous system that offered more user control and customizability, removing options from power users, so one man’s progress is another man’s step backwards.

Repairability isn’t about the physical realities of executing the repair - that’s a user end problem to be solved and people are often eager to tackle those.

It’s about the manufacturer not being allowed to explicitly make design decisions that make it intentionally harder to do so than is strictly necessary as a side effect of the basic design.

I guess with that much masturbation, I can see how he died at 38.
