“[G]reatest example of global cooperation in history” is probably an overstatement. Perhaps eradication of smallpox?

ChromeOS or Linux Mint

I think Bitcoin was a good proof of concept that this system can work and scale. Ethereum is trying to be the viable option. I personally like Monero. I am sure in a hundred years or so if crypto is still here, it will be more viable and stable.

Oh I thought you meant Epstein uses fish.

TIL I am unintentionally boycotting

Source? I’ve seen the bash reference manual in the files

Interesting. I’ve never had any of these issues. It might be because I use a tiling window manager (shoutout Aerospace) instead of Apple’s own window manager. Also, I’ve never really done any development on the mac itself. I just SSH into my Arch Linux server. MacOS is just a frontend to my browser and terminal basically lol. I don’t really care about my laptop’s OS since it’s just a frontend for my server. I just bought whichever laptop was sexiest.

I agree. Bitcoin has become more of a store of wealth than an actual currency. Similar to gold. If you live in an authoritarian and corrupt regime and need to use money, I’d suggest Monero (XMR).

Perhaps Americans don’t see the point of crypto since USD is the world reserve currency for now, but cryptocurrency has been a great way to have economic non-cooperation with authoritarian regimes.

When the government can inflate the currency at whim to pay out their billionaire friends while leaving the common man to suffer, crypto is a nice escape hatch since it has a fixed inflation rate. You don’t have to worry about government supression of funds for journalists either.

They don’t because they are not allowed to. Valve makes game developers sign a contract that if they want their game on Valve, they cannot put it at a lower price on any other store.

I recommend GNOME because it has a very good philosophy on Free/Libre software and it doesn’t stray far from it.

What is wrong with Mac? I find macOS to be very clean and nice. I find it similar to KDE Plasma.

99% don’t know what the Fediverse is. I can’t blame them for jumping ship to Upscrolled since it’s what they have heard of.

Isn’t upscrolled created by a Palestinian? I doubt he’d be okay with censoring a genocide against his people.

I said if EVERY protestor was armed with an assault rifle. Search up black panther armed protests for examples of where this worked.

Source? I didn’t see gun rights being taken away anywhere in the US. If every protestor was armed with an assault rifle, I doubt ICE would have the balls to kill anyone else in broad daylight

Wish they’d move to the Fediverse instead of people uninstalling TikTok to install some other app that could potentially change its algorithm or funding at any time.

2nd amendment right 😉

If is. It’s free (orI guess libre makes more sense since they are French) under Apache-2.0

No need to figure out WINE. Steam will figure it out for you. Just click the Play button.

Linux today is VERY different from Linux 10 years ago. The switch won’t take a whole weekend like it did for me when I first tried Linux many years ago. Just install something like Linux Mint (the most user friendly and stable Linux distro) and the set up will be as easy as something like windows or macos. You never have to touch the terminal if you don’t want to.
