  • I’ve never had a Manjaro install not break in the 4 times I’ve given it serious tries, all from updates. I could’ve avoided a few them by checking the forums first, but one was due to not updating for a couple months, which seem to set it up for failure when I did update.

    I can’t imagine cursing a newbie with it.

    In comparison, Linux Mint has virtually never given me trouble, even if left not updated for months.



















  • The first part seems to be for people who are unfamiliar with the games. The political analysis begins at 19 minutes.

    The games go into:

    • Discussion of monopolies, how they are used to exploit, and how they use state force to maintain their position to prevent competition
    • The Carrot character is an anarchist in the first game, who infiltrates the weather factory of the second game to document the exploitation of its workers. He then gives the player a quiz about US economics so that you can infiltrate a board of directors, but when he becomes a member of the board himself, becomes a liberal reformist.
    • In the third game, the devs put an easter egg only accessible by editing a config file with an obscure code, which adds police branded riot gear to the marching fascist candy soldiers, in a reference to the 1999 Seattle WTO Protests.
