Hmmm go figure at the comments here complaining about Bazzite, I’ve been on it over a year now and really like it

I am seeing more and more folks go veg simply because the price, and that’s great! Build a culture of veg meals and normalize the epic curries, chillis, soups, stews, spreads, and tofu / seitan/mushroom dishes

I really like Derek Sarno’s YouTube channel for this reason. I feel very welcome watching his content because he doesn’t browbeat folks who aren’t fully vegan, he just presents an epic mountain of some of the most mouth watering vegan food I’ve ever seen.

Instead of purity tests to keep folks out, we need more people like Derek who hold the door open for everyone, so they can smell the amazing food cooking inside.

I think you need to look into how rare earth minerals are mined. Or how slavery works. Humans treat humans as bad as any animal if they can make a profit.

Consider that humans sometimes bully other humans to death simply for the power trip. That is some pretty horrific physiological torture.

We’re not that far from accepted child labor. Chimney sweeps. Heck there’s a chance clothes we’ve worn this week were sewn by children in a sweatshop. Or the phone or computer metals were mined with child slave labor.

This is why veganism is hard for me, it’s absolutely not possible to live a cruelty free life unless you’re living on your own land with your own spun clothes and never consuming medication (all tested on lab mice).

Drawing the “perfect line” at eating only plant based food is fine, but it’s a far cry from a cruelty free life. Folks get very serious optimizing on one dimension of cruelty (foods not being animal products) but then completely ignore everything else. And then bully others who do not do the same.

I’d rather see a universe like the OP, better to celebrate every step folks do take in the right direction, not tell them it’s not enough. Everyone should be celebrated for:

• making clothes last longer
• buying used clothes
• keeping the same vehicle longer
• choosing vegan dishes when they can
• delaying PC and phone upgrades, buying used when they do
• taking the bus over driving, walking instead of taking the bus
• standing up to bullies
• growing food at home

smh Bazzite doesn’t even get on the list

I switched to Bazzite and I’m really liking it.

I have had a few issues with old SDR software that didn’t work.

All in all, I’m very happy with the change and have absolutely no plan to return.

I’m not loving how childish the students act. Most are sulking and barely seem to want to be there. They act like sullen middle schoolers and not the 21yo best of the best competing. The tonal shifts are jarring, from the main character being bratty and whining and then there’s explosions and violence.

I believe you mean dump into drinking watersheds

Just look for a job and make sure you’ve got a visa. Third world countries have a lot more “informal economy” that isn’t taxed or handled with paperwork so it’s possible sometimes to just find a job without paperwork or anything, but that won’t help you get a permanent visa.

Ideally, you get a visa that allows work, show you’re working, and then the visa gets upgraded to a permanent resident visa. This varies a lot from country to country. If you’ve got a job, some countries are pretty happy to have you adding to their local economy and will extend you a visa. If you’ve got a remote job that might go even faster.

Alternatively if you’re not skilled in any way, you apply to a super cheap college and apply for a student visa, that’ll buy you a few years while you’re getting skilled in something that country needs. Studying to become a doctor, lawyer, or STEM goes a long way. One of these probably is in demand there, figure out which one and take a crack at it. Hard, for sure, but a pretty solid way to build something long term. Of course if you don’t know the language that will be harder, but colleges generally have language classes too, so that could be the first classes you take.

There’s also teaching English, it’s generally not too hard to find work as a tutor or English teacher, I saw the other day like there’s only one English teacher for every 500 open positions. So that’s a possibility too.

Just generally try to participate in their economy. Try to make local friends and assimilate. Think about what first generation immigrants do: find a steady job or bust ass studying tech or medicine.

The generation that is most aware of climate change and social justice, that wants a more free and equitable society for all? The generation that’s had to watch the decline of Western powers through unrelated capitalism? That generation lacks foresight?

Truly one of the takes of all time

Also generational strife is horseshit propaganda to keep us distracted from the class war so maybe keep the pro-billionaire propaganda to yourself

the spacecraft doesn’t immediately lose all the celestial relative velocity just by going into space, it’s still moving extremely fast:

• with the sun and earth through the galaxy
• with the Earth around the sun
• and is still affected by Earth’s gravity, just now it’s able to counter Earth’s pull with a faster motion pulling it outward, so it balances out to appear weightless

Just by going into orbit and counterbalancing the Earth’s gravity with rotational velocity doesn’t mean it’s not still moving extremely fast relative to the stars

wow a Unison comment on the wild! What kind of stuff have you done with it?

Eh kind of but just don’t buy anything and you’ll be fine. And read the actual literature and studies out there

like a pretty hot take backed by the science, there are much better bioaccumulators than comfrey

I don’t think society across the whole planet will collapse, short of a nuclear war in which case gold won’t help one bit

Much more likely that certain areas will experience famine, war, disease, and reduced access to medicine.

Really the best bet is to be able to be mobile if an area has a significant decline you can move to where it’s better

wow she does look like Linus

Absolutely agree. I know much more about operating systems and software that the average person, and I’ve only been able to handle a number of Bazzite issues with Kagi Assistant. Trying to find how to fix something on forums and regular search is extremely time intensive.

Of course keep in mind that if you’re messing around with your OS you might just screw something up and have to reinstall, but so far I’ve not had anything even close to that. Bazzite seems to be pretty hard to break.

Really for me, Linux only became fun once I started using chat tools to help me learn how to make it do everything I wanted. And I’ve been using Linux off and on for work and at home for twenty years. It’s just sometimes really arcane, and the differences between opensuse, Ubuntu, fedora, and mint made it feel like I never could learn how to fix things.

Sometimes things are harder than I want or just aren’t working right out of the box. But then sometimes I’m able to do things that are actually impossible on other operating systems. So it’s really a trade-off. Also it’s getting better every single day. There was an issue I had last month with a controller, I messed around for 30 minutes but couldn’t get it to work. I tried it last week and it just worked. So don’t lose hope entirely.

I always heard they were larger and ate a specific diet of plants that are now extinct, and so have adapted to only eating low nutrition bamboo and it’s caused them to barely be able to reproduce.

friendzone potion, you give it to someone crushing on you or hates you to turn them around. Some might argue showing up with beer / weed is a friendzone potion.

same! We stayed up all night taking turns playing

Same, I’ve blocked every single news and politics and it’s bustling

I knew without clicking this would be Max Payne or Obra Dinn
