I just got a comment deleted and my account banned from noncredibledefense@shitjustworks (or however they parse that out). It was a shitty meme fantasizing about Japan getting to do more murdering in China, in the event of a war over Taiwan. I got called a tankie and banned for questioning whether Japan had any appetite for a...

Why bother appealing to voters when blue MAGA will demonize and spread misinformation about anyone who dissents for free, all while “yEs, BuT tRuMp”-ing any and every criticism.
At this point Biden could shoot a guy on 4th and democrats would screech “sure but you’re not seeing the forest for the trees, TRUMP SAID HE’D DO IT ON FIFTH!”
I’m not increasing shit. Biden is increasing the odds by seeing vast swatches of voters say “genocide is bad” and telling them to eat a dick.
One day, you blue MAGA types will grow up and realize this whole “only WE can save America and if you don’t vote how we say its actually YOUR fault” shtick is just as fascist as the types you claim to be saving us from.
Biden is working to remove red tape from stripping leftist orgs of nonprofit status, and to make ANY criticism of Israel legally antisemitic so they can strip any college that “allows” protests of funding and accreditation. Both moves are fascist as fuck, but y’all don’t actually mind fascism that benefits you - Thats why you all dedicate your time to attacking leftists, your politics and Republican politics are 95% the same. Same reason Biden will never find a “red line,” dems would rather a Republican win then move left even a pinch.
This isn’t about disagreement. They intend to rebuild the country in their image which involves taking out everything and everyone they don’t like. If it’s a choice between my culture, my life, my friends and family being burned or burning them -
Windows 10 EoL is fast approaching, so I thought I’d give Linux a try on some equipment that won’t be able to upgrade to Windows 11. I wanted to see if I will be able to recommend an option to anyone that asks me what they should do with their old PC....
Linux is plenty ready for “most users.” I recently saw a meme that applies here, about experts/enthusiasts overestimating the “average normie” in their field even when they’re trying to account for most people not being on their level.
GPU Drivers, app stores
“Most users” scroll Facebook or Twitter and watch Netflix. Distro comes with firefox? GG. 🤷♂️ While I don’t think its widespread (and hope lol,) ever since the Facebook app integrated a web browser there are people (usually younger iirc) who think Facebook IS the internet. Loads of people almost wouldn’t notice if you switched their os overnight, if they have a desktop/laptop at all.
As for people looking to change to Linux due to MS business decisions, let’s be real - they’re by and large already techies. Its also not the 90s anymore, there are resources abound and SOOOO many users to have your problem before you do.
Personal nitpick for me, nothing to do with OP but the overall sentiment - Using the terminal is NOT THAT BALL CRUSHINGLY HARD as people still make it out to be, certainly not for stuff you may need it for in modern times. I have fedora, I need spotify. “sudo dnf install Spotify” “y” ta da. Certainly not an adventure, IMO.
I know open source office alternative play pretty well with the proprietary file types now, perhaps the same is true for GIMP and whatever other graphicy stuff? Worth looking into.
I’ve always been familiar with Linux and tech but always used windows cause gaming. Last week I stripped all my drives and set up dual boot to daily drive Linux with a windows fallback for whatever I might need windows for.
Fedora was up and running in no time.
Win 11, I had to jump through the hoops to avoid logging in, it doesn’t label your drives like Linux does so you have to guess or cross reference somehow, twice as many reboots, pages of data settings.

Linux is still not ready to replace Windows
