I think he means ctrl-r.

Damn, I conflated the two numbers. I am shame.

It’s not as bad as it looks, especially if you aren’t hardcore, but for long-term linux users it’s not great.

Debian has become what Ubuntu wanted to be: An easy, clean distribution that basically just works, which is a major reversal.

Also consider fedora.

But don’t be worried about Ubuntu, it’s still completely usable.

Something definitely broke in society

Population density has increased dramatically, more people in constant contact = more conflict with opportunities to escalate.

We should let people out in the middle of Alaska carry GAU-10s if they want, and if you live in a city you shouldn’t be allowed to carry a handgun.

It’s a question of risk assessment, crazy people have a rough normal distribution, but are significantly more dangerous when armed in dense population centers.

I do have a problem with them, the same problem was solved, better, with other technologies like appImage (which doesn’t litter your mount list with 100 meaningless entries).

Even flatpak is better, snap is an also ran they’re trying to force on us without being as good as any of the competitors.

Qxl does, it’s fairly modern.

Otherwise you have virtio and virglrenderer, which are as modern as it gets this side of pcie pass through or intel’s sriov.

Vga is fixed iirc, the original frame buffer was tiny, the emulated one gives you 16mv

Cirrus logic gives you 16mb too iirc, then you can use other drivers that give you more,

All I care about is #7.

His base doesn’t think it’s sports.

They think it’s pro-wrestling, what bothers them is that they aren’t always scripted to win like they’re supposed to be.

Russian cultural paranoia.

They cannot consider themselves safe unless they have a ‘perimeter’ around Russia.

The thing is: that needed perimeter is always growing, eventually your country becomes part of it, ask Poland and later east Germany, Afghanistan, and eventually, your country.

I grew up in the south, I understand them perfectly.

Imagine growing up your whole life being told you need to be angry because you’re the greatest but everybody else takes what you deserve from you.

It used to be that pesky northerners took away your slaves, but that evolved to taking away your rights to enforce your own laws (Jim crow), then your rights to be Christian the way you want (school prayer, abortion, insisting on a Christian country), then forcing you to tolerate gays who are abominations against God and nature, then letting foreigners come in and steal the one thing you have 9f value, your citizenship.

All while being rich coastal liberals who never did any real work because they set the rules of the game that your parents never understood, but education can’t be that important, you’re all the chosen of God and your pastor explained that there’s no knowledge that you need outside of the truth of the Bible.

So you have a choice between a loud, uppity foreign woman telling you why you’re not good enough in her fancy words, or somebody who talks sense and tells it like it is, and you know he’s right because it’s what you’ve always known in your heart.

They were raised on 3 things: college football, NASCAR and pro-wrestling, and they never got involved with politics till now, so they use pro-wrestling as their model, and he is clearly the face right now.

It’s cowardice.

If they know for a fact he’s a busted flush, they’ll all come out of the woodwork gunning for him, but they’re all such complete cowards that nobody will stand up if there’s any chance he might be able to hit back.

Also:

They have fox news, which tells all their fans that this is only meant to stop the 52 million illegals who crossed the border last year from stealing the election like in 2020.

They absolutely have.

You know how I know? Because they’re getting more and more insane while also less and less able to do anything meaningful about anything, they’re crazy and impotent, both politically and in their personal lives.

This is literally what winning looks like, finish strangling the serpent.

They’re dixiecrats, they took over the Republicans during the party switch.

its best-selling jet.

This isn’t the major point of the article? Their best selling jet is the most famous for falling apart and crashing into the ground?

Got banned for saying Russia was committing war crimes in Ukraine.

As a comment to a AP story showing evidence of Russians committing war crimes in Ukraine.

Apparently that was ‘bigotry’.

This was 2 weeks after getting banned for threatening violence. For posting a NBC news article reporting on the Trump shooting. They reversed that on appeal, but I’m not appealing the second one, they’re just broken now.

Basically anyone can report anything and they don’t have anyone to review it so it’s easy censorship. Yet somehow the subs that actually threaten violence have no problems.

Ya gotta move ya ca’!
