Orion does it now too.

They live mostly on gels and polymers I think.

Hasn’t been my experience

Hopefully Debian or LMDE. Canonical is becoming a mini-Microsoft.

Yeah the CIA doesn’t like any of that too much.

…and head to bed for me.

As long as you have no oil, there’s no reason to fear us.

Nah. Democrats protest, Republicans vote. Funny how one of those groups wields a grossly exaggerated amount of political power.

I used to believe in that ideal, but any government product that Republicans can possibly ruin, either by destroying or criminally defunding, will be either destroyed or defunded.

The horse is out of the barn. It would take 200 years before we could cleanse the stain of the GOP and their shareholders from this world, so it’s never going to happen.

I pay $10/mo for Kagi search. If they stop satisfying what I want from them, or they start misbehaving, I’ll cancel it.

US and EU are both racing to implement an array of anti-freedom, authoritarian internet bills. What stable nation-state are you willing to fully entrust indefinitely with regulation of what you do online?

I do think the transmission infrastructure of the internet should be publicly funded and owned, but not what happens on the wires.

That’s just text, not video or audio.

Passion projects still cost bandwidth, if not hosting fees.

Also, major news and media sites are not going anywhere. Little passion project sites will not replace a platform like YouTube. Serving video is expensive.

Wealth tax. 0.1%. The rich will see it as adding a .1 onto all of their investment expense ratios, and I don’t give a shit.

If you Emerge, Gentoo would at very least tell you before you install something that it’ll break as a result of dependency issues with a list of said dependencies, and offer to update those dependencies for you.

Portage really is an incredible package manager.

I think it’s funny that so many Linux users talk about how locked down Windows is, when 90% of them live in an effective walled garden defined by their package manager, or other inborn restriction of their distro. I doubt that even 10% are compiling from source with any regularity.

Why do you need to wait for someone to repackage FF for you before you install it? Just go get it if you run Arch BTW, but you know the overwhelming majority of ArchBros really only know how to install it through Pacman.

Real Chads don’t use a DE.

Zorin.

Me too! Well, technically Yellow Dog Linux, but that lasted all of two weeks.

I know Ubuntu has had that for a while, which means that others probably have as well.
