“Unstable as hell”, “breaks for no reasons”, “seriously insecure”, other distros “work perfectly”. I find this kind of uninformed hyperbole tiring, but probably entirely descriptive of your own user journey. Arch is intended for technical users, not “average users” (Whatever that means), and people should not be recommending that their uninitiated friends start their Linux journey there unless they’re prepared and capable of providing technical support. I used Fedora and Ubuntu for decades before moving to Arch a few years ago, and I’ve never loved an OS more than I love this one. But that’s my journey.

You can distill it further. Social hierarchy is the template of all these “disasters”. The original sin, if you will. These are all just exacerbations of social hierarchy.

I’d say the bicycle easily makes the top 10 of all-time best inventions of humanity.

This bumper sticker is just an edgier version of the “I bought this before Elon went crazy” one.

Kaczynski was a quintessential reactionary ecofascist, no additional qualifier required. But a lot of people have their first encounter with radical social critique in his writings, so absent any further critical theory his direct acts are often categorized as romantic rebellion, rather than the grossly misdirected randomized murders that they were.

It’s quite the coincidence that as soon as there was a charismatic (In a way) Harvard grad with a CIA mind-control experiment in his past writing wheat pasted manifestos about technology as the root of all evil while he blew up civilian science researchers, NYTimes - The supposed dignified record of the political center - Was willing to post that shit in full page spread, unsolicited. They didn’t do anything of the sort for a certain charismatic alleged green mario, when he identified social class as the blame. It’s almost as if social hierarchy wants to skirt blame for it’s externalities and instead misdirect it onto scapegoats.

Fuck Kaczynski, read Bookchin.

Unfortunately I think that in reality Canadians have almost as much work to do on their own government as Americans have to do on ours before they can be considered anything but than one of the US’s closest allies and supporters.

• French anarcho-communists invent the synonym “libertarian”
• US fascists locally co-opt the word to obfuscate the inseparable nature of capital and state
• Person on explicitly leftist forums vibe checks that by “anachist” you didn’t mean “libertarian”

I’m tired, boss 😂

I actually yearn for a transnational workers cooperative space company that collects startup capital from crowdsourcing and fundraising.

Would probably have to host the physical operations somewhere in the global south, as the big authoritarian nations would likely be a bit hostile to the idea of making any domestically-developed cutting edge orbital rocket engine technology FOSS.

I think we’re already in the middle of both of those.

‘A car killed a child’ same shit different context

Sounds great!

David Graeber, rolling in his graever.

You know what, that is a fair point!

Thank you!

Or if you’re me, yay -Syu and wait 4 fucking hours (Because you barely ever remember to do it).

What do you think all that tax revenue is for?

A corporate environment without wiggle room for excess would also shake out a lot of grifters.

This just sounds to me like a strong argument for not letting corporations deduct expenditures from taxable revenue.

Holy shit what are these AI-ass essay length replies, tax corporations more you fucking squares.
