So when I see the likes of BAR having to code-switch, I understand that this is necessity for survival, because there’s no instance of code-switching that isn’t.
cfgaussian was saying that BAR repeats a lot of NATO talking points about Ukraine and you're saying that repeating NATO talking points is actually "code-switching" for survival. Ok, then what's the point? What's the point of having a leftist org that repeats imperialist talking points?
Violence is physical force against a living thing (vandalism is physical force against inanimate things). The things you're talking about are emotional/verbal abuse (which are still also bad, and you could argue are worse than physical violence, but they are not violence).

No great reason, really. I've tried Arch before and it needs a bit more manual administration than I prefer. The goal was to get off of Ubuntu and, having never used Fedora and Ubuntu being close to Debian, I just kind of went with what I'm more familiar with.
Sick. I literally just switched from Ubuntu to Debian
Great analysis of the perils of a for-profit system. One linked article calls it out explicitly:
Google Search provides a “free” service, but the cost is a source of information corrupted by a profit-seeking entity looking to manipulate you into giving money to the profit-seeking entities that pay them.
And later:
That’s because the markets do not prioritize innovation, or sustainable growth, or stable, profitable enterprises.
Never quite fully connects the dots, tho:
Until we see a seismic shift in how major investors treat the companies they invest in, this cycle will continue.
So close.
Also, best explanation I've heard for why bosses are so against remote-work:
This is the problem at the center of almost everything I’ve written. Why are bosses mad they can’t bring people back to the office? Because their alignment of business success isn’t really tied to profit or “success,” but rather the sense that they are “big” and “successful,” which requires a bustling workplace and “ideas.”
