The Menemen

He was designing software for hobbyists and later for the consumer market, he is not Oppenheimer.

I think assuming that militaries would design/use specific software and not use software for hobbyist was a reasonable assumption.

UK, the red party

You are talking about Keir Starmers party?

Yeah, it became difficult. Whatever you say publicly, you first have to consider if it could be intentionally misinterpreted to silence critical voices. There are too many malicious actors.

Many people lost their livelihood for that and imprisonment is always possible.

Here is the first entry of a google search. But it happened several times. Many people, probably several thousands by now, have been arrested and/or sued for saying or writing this phrase.

Sorry, it is in German.

Mind that SEK stands for Special Task Force. Those guys come in full armour, masked and armed with full auto weapons.

And yeah, that is what the mods and adminis of feddit are afraid of. It is a very realistic fear.

Ich sage nicht mach alles mit. Ich gehe regelmäßige auf Palästinademos und bin bei Mera25. Aber ich bin nicht so blöd mir das zukünftig unmöglich zu machen, wegen eines Sprüche, den ich sinngemäß ersetzen kann, ohne Probleme zu bekommen.

Yeah, you have to chose your battle. You can have your life and the future of your children get ruined only once.

Tbh, I can understand it. There have been police raids kicking in doors of families with small children at 5 in the morning for having a Facebook post saying “from the … to the …” (I am also in Germany…). The police went through all of the families belongings and took all web-connected electronics.

The situation is really rough here in Germany.

My guess would be that in some countries the petition was just not well distributed. People won’t sign, if they never heard about it…

Also the title, maybe? I read ot and almost scrolled on, because i thought this would be some incel shit.

Kubuntu is just really well polished. It works really well and stable nowadays. Only downside is snap.

Also have a look at Linux MX. Also very well polished and some really good tools.

I am not only on .world (actually started out there and moved over here), but yeah, for me that was the last straw. That official app is just an affront.

Oh my, if you had stopped voting the lesser evil 20 years ago, you’d not have Trump now. Also, asshole move to derail the discussion by getting impertinent “brain dead” and starting to downvote, simply because you disagree (blocking you for that, as it annoys me).

This whole theory has been 100% proven by the current shitshow here in Germany. Everything I wrote has already happened and fascists much, much worse than Trump are currently the first among polls in Germany as a result.

You could easily argue that the guys constantly chosing the lesser evil brought that catastrophic discourse shift over us, that made the lesser evil of this election worse than the worse evil of former elections.

I am not from the US, so my insight there might be limited. But here in Germany I started to hate the lesser evil fraction so much. The lesser evil here is now openly representing far right ideologies, activley supporting genocide, made it borderline illegal to critizise genocid, killing refugees at the borders, deporting people into regions were they face immediate lethal threats, initiating harsh social cuts while demonizing the poor and are discussing cooperation with open fascists. They are constantly normalizing open fascism, everday a little more. If Germany slights into fascism again, it will be mostly the lesser evils fault.

Fuck the lesser evil. They became more dangerous than the fascist themselves in many respects.

It was also Hindenburg and von Papen back in the 1930s, the lesser evil, who was paving Hitler the way to power.

edit: Lol, I startet this meaning to write 2-3 sentences, seems the lesser evil caused a writing frenzy in me.

I think this is not as simple as A controls B. There are many groups and individuals active in both countries who influence politics and media. I don’t think anyone centrally controlls them. It is a way more chaotic system than that.

On a notebook it still can be troublesome. I know from very recent Asus TUF experience…

Fedora or Ubuntu. But I’d say the important part is that they probably provide all necessary drivers.

Ubuntu. But I think that will be almost everyones answer who started with Linux in the late-mid 2000s.

Edit: Oh wait. Might have been Knoppix to resuce some data from a broken windows installation.

Also darktable, rawtherapee, DigiKam and Krita. Not sure if those are suited to professional work, but for amateurs they are more than enough.

Did the meaning of “neoliberals” change? Didn’t that mean conservative economically liberal people like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney?

I remember when the steam machines where first announced and how excited I was. I am still excited. :)
