What they should do is one of those replace-words add-ons making rightwingers talk positive about DEI or talk shit about anti-immigration, see how quick people above 60 nationally change their mind

as a child I fell very hard for the meme that there had to be something in me behind the influence from others, and thought I was just a shell in comparison to everyone else

My parents had some of the ancient ubuntu (or ubuntu based?) distros that they let me play with, I myself tried Manjaro in 2017 for a month (very scuffed back then), and then full Arch Linux since March or Apr 2021

Haven't bothered switching since, but if I did, I'm lightly curious on the NixOS hype. Why yes, I just installed Arch Linux for the archbtw, but also it feels like it just works for me at this point (yknow, till the next fuckup akin to the grub2 fiasco)

yeah :)

Power Off to secure that things get updated and resetting float integers in case they would go haywire

Poweroff could use more write cycles on the SSD because it has to read everything at startup, but suspend has to keep supplying power to the RAM

for this, I would say SSD is more valuable personally, so if that was my only reason, I'd suspend to RAM every time

My computer's generally doing stuff I have it set to do, so I don't suspend to RAM

Laptop gets turned off when going outside, also encrypted

This is the fucking issue.

It simply overwrites your nuance.

Well Mullvad used to have port-forwarding, either it was a pain to maintain or it was abused

Yep, if they can control thought patterns, they can control what you do, and then they can control what you want

The end result being "well why wouldn't I want ads that show me personalized ads? I'm likely to give more of a shit", not knowing that you're signing yourself up for potentially even limiting your nuances Surveillance Capitalism style

as a former cashier, fuck talking to people, the mind's enough

LETS GOOOOOOOO

e: yeah i flipflop

~~I empathize a bit, but it's not like democrats haven't been getting more leftward either.~~

~~The truth is though that ultimately, politicians are gonna be malleable to those who are going to vote, both because of the very simple "if I focus here, I will be more likely to get the most votes while providing due change", but also because the idea of democracy is based in the trust that publics will emerge to voice their concerns to the politicians.~~

~~Most politicians are just not online enough to gather the discourse that we would be experiencing, and also there's the whole issue of not knowing how much of it is foreign interference in a trench-suit pretending to be the voices of the locals. That's why direct calls to voicing these concerns to local politicians, and being willing to hear them out as much as they hear you out matters a lot. Some do forget over the years, but a lot join politics because they genuinely want to make life better.~~

if the last month has taught us anything, real 4D chess would be "make the Switch 2 here, we'll exempt any tariff that goes to it, and lift the ones on you"
