I’m in the same camp. I have home servers that run linux and it works great there, but on the desktop I’ve run into a surprising amount of stability issues. It’s honestly worse than it was 20 years ago in that regard.

Hello, I am wondering if I could get a stranger on the internet to let me know if I should use Linux. I just wish more people would literally just say “Use Linux”.

Corporate media, including “left leaning” and “progressive” outlets, routinely misleads people, especially around the listed issues of crime, public benefits, and immigration. Check out https://fair.org/ for tons of examples.

Wow, if only there was an organization whose purpose was to inform the public about the current state of the world, maybe they could do something about it

Looking forward to the How to Cook That video debunking this

They didn’t realize that those that work forces are supposed to be the same that burn crosses

Being good at hiding your vice is not a virtue

Tell me you know nothing about the kennedys without saying you know nothing about the kennedys

It’s got lots of uses:

• driving up fossil fuel revenues
• providing a solid excuse for laying off a bunch of employees
• disciplining labor
• offloading blame for unpopular decisions
• increasing surveillance and nonconsensual data collection

This is the one post I’ve seen here that actually tackles the main problems. Climate change can’t be stopped without degrowth, which means putting a stop to capitalism.

I’d like to add: while there would be a lot we’d have to give up, life under a degrowth economy would be good. Way better than what we have now. We’d all have more leisure time to focus on stuff that matters. Sure, we’d have fewer gadgets and toys, but we’d be able to spend more time with loved ones and engaging in creative and fulfilling hobbies.

This is extremely important: we are not at the point of no return.

Climate change can be stopped, even now. It will take lots of work, but it’s possible.

ClimateAdam, who has a PhD in climate science from Oxford, made a video about this. It’s 5 years old, but he’s still making videos with similar points today. It’s my understanding this is still the predominant view amongst climate scientists. The main reason I think this is that there aren’t many calling for geoengineering, which if we were at the point of no return would be something we’d have to explore.

The reason this is so important is because as climate change denial becomes more and more infeasible, it will get replaced primarily with climate change defeatism. The sooner we start pushing back on this, the better.

Because it’s the wrong size

When you want to feel special but not enough to go to the effort of using FreeBSD

“have to” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here

It’s so strange how the press covers Nikki Haley like she actually matters.
