BaldProphet, to linux in Get ready to welcome more new users soon!

Honestly, I suspect that most people who refuse to update to Windows 11 are already Linux desktop users. Most of us have more than one computer and use Linux on several of them.

BaldProphet, to world in The US is thinking about letting Ukraine use its weapons to strike Russia, even if it enrages Putin: report

It's good that you are willing to acknowledge that. A lot of people on here truly reject the concept that the situation is more complicated than "stop supporting Israel". People are quick to spout that without thinking about the knock-on effects.

There are even people on here who are outright in support of Hamas, an oppressive Islamist group that has a far worse human rights record than Israel.

Lemmy users don't understand nuance. "Israel bad" is all they understand.

There is one significant difference: Hamas does not, as far as I know, have any nuclear weapons.

BaldProphet, to politics in The economy is thriving under Biden. So why don’t Americans believe it?
BaldProphet avatar

I'll believe it when I stop getting only rejection letters for entry level jobs.

The solution is to stop bailing out mismanaged companies. Crony capitalism/corporate socialism are scams.

When people of good conscience are forced to support a literal genocide because of how broken our system is…

When people are incapable of understanding nuance...

I pity the rest of you who would choose complacency and the path of least resistance over doing what’s right.

This is some extremist cool-aid stuff right here. I hope you find the care you need.

BaldProphet, to linux in How the heck am I supposed to get into Linux?

It sounds to me like you're overthinking it. Download the ISO (or ISOs) of your choice and set up VMs in VirtualBox. Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy. Experiment and try it out with no risk at your leisure.

Associating Joe Biden so closely with genocide demonstrates a lack of capacity for understanding nuance. Supporting Israel doesn't automatically equate to supporting Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza, but it does indicate support for the Israeli (and by extension, Jewish) right to exist. One can simultaneously protest the genocide in Gaza and support a friendly, cooperative Israel.

Sounds like you got your daily dopamine hit. You should probably take a break from social media until you've calmed down.

Let me rewrite this headline:

"Democrats would rather elect a literal Nazi than Joe Biden"

Which is bull, but essentially what the article is saying.

If you won't vote for Biden because of Gaza, you are an ignorant, narrow-minded idiot and you are handing Trump the presidency.

BaldProphet, to worldnews in Norway, Ireland and Spain say they are recognizing a Palestinian state in historic move
BaldProphet avatar

Great step for the Palestinians. If they can expel Hamas and institute a legitimate government, they could have a real shot at independence.

Unfortunately, there will be no real Palestinian state as long as Hamas maintains its influence.

BaldProphet, to california in Why UC grad students are going out on strike
BaldProphet avatar

Yeah, UCSC feels like an odd choice. Maybe it's because they've had a lot of union activity there over the past few years.

BaldProphet avatar

Yeah, it's not like they need more excuses than they already have to drop insurance plans.

BaldProphet, to linux in How do you make Linux more popular?
BaldProphet avatar

Why does Linux need to be more popular? This isn't some NRM with a proselytizing mandate. Use whichever OS you prefer and let others do the same.
