  • Reminds me of a thread on Reddit of photos of Israeli missiles stuck in civilian buildings (apartment blocks). People asking where it was from and not one comment stating it was a Syrian city and where the missiles came from.
    Treat everything you see as unconfirmed, no mater if it is for or against your beliefs. Manipulation is everywhere.


  • For Arch, I’d go with something like EndeavorOS. The installation is easy for someone who knows what a file system or software repository is and I absolutely loved that you can install a bare bones system: just the desktop and almost no apps and you can go from there and install what you like (I wish fedora offered this).
    I ended up not using Arch/Endeavor because of rolling releases and I found the AUR dangerous. I mean, its not dangerous, but anyone can put anything on there and its your job (and the communities) to make sure its good. I think a “build all the software yourself” is a great philosophy, but it only fits computer geeks (and I mean this in a good way). We cant all be Richard Stallman. I think for somethings, I can accept an “arbiter of software” who curates what gets on the repo and what doesn’t and that its shared via compiled binaries instead of code.


  • Fedora’s philosophy is free software only. So vanilla Fedora ships with FOSS only. Imo, they’re really good at this, but I personally couldn’t live with that. The community maintained fusion repository is essential because of Nvidia drivers and full ffmpeg. Steam is in a separate non-free repo as well.
    Other than than tidbit, Fedora is easy to install, well maintained, has a large community and wide third party support (as in software devs often build “native fedora” binaries available on their repo).
    I prefer it to any other Fedora based distro, but for the reason above, it may not be best suited for the average lemming.









  • It’s not that bad. You’re generally not aware of what you’re doing for the first 10 years. Then study for the next 10. Then, if you work to live and not live to work, you might get something out of life. Anything post work, I kinda see as a bonus, not a goal. Predisposed medical conditions may mean you aren’t seeing those years anyway. Actually… it may be that bad lol.
    Just don’t take it that seriously. Live till you die.



  • Lol no. They’ll just hire some people to do it like they always have.
    Create a fucked up world where a small handful of people control every resource. Everyone else has nothing. Give a few people a little more and they’ll kill for it. Its never going to be robots, we’ll be killing and be killed by our own kind.


  • Don’t most countries offer subsidies for photovoltaics? Put solar on your roof and your energy bill goes down. That’s the most direct government investment I can think of that will effect you directly.
    Other than that, its supply and demand. The government building huge solar arrays wont bring your bill down if the demand for energy keeps rising. They’d need to build more production than there is demand.
