I would be glad there was at least an explanation for all their terrible decisions.

Smile in his face I'll say, "Come let us go
I've a cask of Amontillado"

Sheltered inside from the cold of the snow
Follow me now to the vault down below
Drinking the wine as we laugh at the time
Which is passing incredibly slow

"What are these chains that are binding my arms?"
Part of you dies each passing day
Say, "It's a game" and I'll come to no harm
You'll feel your life slipping away

You who are rich and whose troubles are few
May come around to see my point of view
What price the crown of a King on his throne
When you're chained in the dark all alone

"Spare me my life only name your reward"
Part of you dies each brick I lay
"Bring back some light in the name of the Lord"
You'll feel your mind slipping away 

Just a song I was suddenly reminded of - no reason....

Solche Flausen treiben die Dir dann in der Grundausbildung schon aus.

Also denke ich mal. Ich habe verweigert und habe statt dessen Zivildienst geleistet. Ich bereue nichts, auch wenn das zwei Monate länger gedauert hat als Wehrdienst.

Hahaha... Steuern zahlen ist doch nur für Arme 😂

Or, in other words: take from the poor (the people), give to the rich (military industrial complex).

Of course it does not make sense. It does not have to. It is a diversion. Basically, attacking trans persons is the new anti-abortion campaign. The latter's extreme results have pissed off even "conservative" voters when it directly affected them, as well. So now they picked a new target to attack that is only a minimal percentage of the entire population and only minimal support from the population at large. It is not even about trans people, it is about riling up people about some made up bullshit (like trans people eating children or whatever) so people do not start thinking about how the super rich make them super poor. It is all diversion from the class struggle. Keep them fighting some imagined enemy so they do not start building guillotines and chopping off the heads of billionairs. That is all there is to it, really.

The OS is just way more transparent and communicative in a way that facilitates learning (once you learn the basics of how to communicate with it, such as not being terrified of the terminal)

I could not agree more. Linux is not perfect in any way, but at least it tells you what the problem is. Windows? Oh sure, you can probably get that information somehow, somewhere, in some event log that is only recorded if you sacrifice a chicken at midnight and dance around a campfire on one foot.

Episode 2.18 - Brigadoom. Normally, musical episodes are shite, but that one is brilliant.

Nice try, thesun.co.uk

Why would Trump care about that - all he cares about is that he and his buddies made a bazillion by manipulating the stock trade from this whole adenture.

I play all kinds of games and they just work. Sometimes you have to adjust the settings a bit, but to be honest, that is rarely the case. At first I had problems because I wanted mod support for Cyberpunk 2077 and I tried to get the Nexus apps to work (any of them) and it just would not work. But then, someone suggested the native Linux app Limo which works very well for me for installing and administrating mods. For installing and starting the games, I used to use Lutris a long time ago, but now I rely on Heroic Games Launcher, and unlike Lutris, it has not let me down so far.

I use Bazzite btw.

If Github just kills repos without explanation, then using Github for anything is a mistake.
