  • I started the ubuntu path on warty, was a distro vagrant after unity arrived, switched to debian a while which was and is fine, decided to give manjaro a shot and couldn’t stand it, but oh how that AUR made me swoon. Finally worked up the nerve to lose the training wheels and try just arch, got tired of the immense chore that it became and found EndeavourOS.

    I cannot recommend endeavour highly enough. It’s exactly what I always wanted and as long as they don’t completely shit the bed somehow I doubt I’ll ever leave. I can’t speak to your hardware concerns, as I went full team red with common hardware for my last few builds because I knew they would have linux on them. The arch wiki is great. The forum exists. They have a plasma version.

    The only games I have been unable to play are those that have shitty anti cheat software and the occasional very recent release, but those usually get resolved in a hurry. Genuinely no complaints.

    is now, in large part, a referendum on genocide

    No, it isn’t. Part of the problem with articles like this is the idealogical bubbles so readily afforded by modern life to the author. Nearly twice the percentage of Americans are fine (or think more should be done) with the USs arming of Israel than think it is a problem. The percentages within parties aren’t even that far apart. The average American doesn’t care about brown people dying half a world away. Anyone who has been paying even the tiniest bit of attention for the last 50 years should already know this.

    But when you hang out in leftist spaces online, have leftist friends IRL, and read mostly leftist news sources, you lose sight of the fact that the average American is politically much closer to your problematic uncle you only see on the high holidays, than you.

    a vote for her is the best/only way to register a “no” to genocide vote. To state, as liberal Democrat supporters tend to do, that Trump will be worse when it comes to Gaza, obfuscates this point.

    No it isn’t. Doing whatever it takes to keep it from getting worse is in direct service of this point. It sucks that the only outcomes are the status quo or make it worse, but as long as that is the case, then not choosing to not make it worse is a moral failing.



  • I’m not saying local landlords will necesarily be good landlords, I just want them within the jurisdiction they rent in. I want the people they know irl to know they’re assholes and slumlords. I want the local news to be able to stop by their house and ask them why they suck. I want the people who live in their rentals to take all that shit to the same local government they have to deal with for anything they want to do apart from runing rentals.
