Have fun, drink water.

Gotta love how the Iranian gov cares about the US working class more than ours does.

It's not the fascism they're worried about, so much as the decay. The conditions could lead to looting by state actors or whoever. To your point tho, UK is def not a better choice unless they have some kind of bunker.

She was a CIA plant in the movement. Meant to rhetorically drive a wedge between feminism and socialism. She watered down 2nd wave feminism to a bra burning spectacle with little substance.

After reading remarks from libs on Lemmy, I want to point out two things:

1. No significant number of leftists would vote for a real estate mogul turned fascist gameshow host. If you believe otherwise, it's likely because it makes thinking about the US political situation easier by giving you another illiberal fall guy.

2. Voting in the US is a pastiche of democratic participation, made to look like we've been handed all we need to make the democracy machine go brrr. We revere it so much because it's the best we've ever had, but other braver and more imaginative people have tried more direct, less capitalistic methods of democracy, usually before being crushed, libelled, bombed or couped by the US and its allies. If Americans ever find the backbone to collectively fight and make sacrifices for something better, future generations might have a chance of not growing up in the most grotesque, inhuman future imaginable. Libs can help with this, but you're the only ones who can decide whether you put your efforts toward capitalism or democracy. They're like oil and water.

I meant to say internet. Tysm for correcting me. I'm truly grateful and humbly request that you take an unchaperoned bath with my teenage daughters.

True, but from my distro-hopping I learned there are quite a few Linux distros that throw tantrums when you try to install w/o wifi, and some ISOs that flat out don't allow it. I'm not technically sharp enough to find the link, but this and most of my other problems with Linux went away when I stopped using distros built with systemd.

CachyOS is fast, sure. But have you tried Void? MX? Artix? PCLinuxOS? All very fast, and way fewer tantrums/stability issues. Systemd acts like a bureaucrat that checked out long ago, but keeps the job because of the benefits and does it as spitefully as possible. It's about what I'd expect from a corp like Red Hat, and one day it'll ask for your government ID to install.

The Linux community should get serious about systemd and how it talks to newcomers about it. It's annoying now, and it'll be a liability later.

I've got a spare laptop at home, so I'll def give it a try.

Someone mentioned that this looks like a beginner-friendly version of Void. I've been using Void for a few months now and calling me an intermediate user would be a bit of a stretch. Void is very easy to use, mostly because it rarely breaks or crashes. You almost never have to pop the hood, and anything can be searched online. I think a user would be better off using Void, but do what you want.

Mine's great, but it takes so long that by the time it proves correct, everyone has the AHA face and says "boy i wish someone had told me this 15 yrs ago before it was too late".
