Your caption totally doesn’t match these graphs.

‘The lesser evil’ might as well be left (leaning) from the majorities POV. In that case the shift would be to the left. And furthermore you seem to be assuming that this shift continues because you keep voting for the ‘lesser evil’?

I think that’s contradictory. Voting for someone is telling them you like their course best. Why would they change their course if they are already getting the votes? (Or lead the polls?) They would only do so to capture another parties audience - and only if their own ideas are not popular (enough) already. So the contrary is true: Parties tend towards whoever is getting more votes. This is only logical, because that’s ultimately what they need.

Having to vote for a ‘lesser evil’ just means your system is broken, corrupt, or you feel like you have no other option. In functioning democratic systems, you will see fluctuations based on the general sentiment towards current topics. What’s currently going on tends to have a much more significant impact on voters than any ideals.

To give you a very simplistic example: Economy bad -> People vote for guy who (they think) will fix it. This was a big factor in Trumps victory. (And there are probably also more racist then you think.)

I dunno, I think the baker might already give you their bread if you threaten them with death

I have enough void inside me already

The former acted because he was personally affected by a person supporting exploitation within a liberal system, the latter leads an authoritarian regime that allowed their CEOs to do what they do until they got annoying for whatever reasons.

So if you want to talk objective results here, sure, one of them got a higher kill count. However, who has the moral high ground here is not even up to debate IMO

Funnily enough I had more bugs on Tumbleweed than on Arch. Admittedly, most of them were probably not on Tumbleweed, but it seems like there are just much more people caring about Arch. Otherwise I can’t explain why it gets so much better support

2-4 I have never had any problems with, file bug reports if you do I guess

I’m not sure what to make of this, but I assume you wanted to say KDE does what it’s supposed if you select the Wayland session. This would lead to my follow-up question: Why not just use it?

Wayland has been the preferred session for KDE since late 5.X

I don’t know if it is available yet, but KDE Linux sounds pretty cool. It’s kinda the same “Arch for everyone” take on Arch that Valve has going on with SteamOS, but with some pretty fancy stuff planned.

If you want to learn about a couple of cool customisations, you could also take a look at Garuda Linux, specifically the Dragonized Gaming Edition (aka Bloaty McBloatface Edition) or XeroLinux (although I don’t know if that’s maintained atm, I think the dev had to flew from a war in the middle east)

Is it legally wrong? Yes. Should it be legally persecuted? Absolutely. Is it, in this specific instance, morally justifiable or even admirable? I would say you could definitely argue that.

I’m not familiar enough with the dead guy to judge, but from what I have heard I’m leaning towards “yes and yes”.

If you can afford it and want ultra low power consumption, latest gen Intel is for you. If you want maximum performance or go for older gen APUs, AMD is pretty much always better.

Edit: Since Intel’s naming got super confusing: I’m talking about Core Ultra 7 256V and 236V. I’m not sure whether the 288V is worth it. Note that the 256 and 236 also have 32GB variants, if you think you need more than 16.

“Ok, so would you send me nudes? I’m not looking at them, I would just like to have them.”

KDE Linux to me sounds like the desktop Linux worth waiting for - although if you are willing to put in some work, EndeavourOS is half way there and available today

I would want Windows 11 if it wasn’t a total privacy nightmare. I have been a Windows user for a long time, but MS scared me away the moment the started requiring online accounts. Half my life is on my computer, they can fuck right off with that. Windows is generally pretty good for work computers, but I rather take my private business elsewhere

There are more devices that ship with Linux or actively advertise support for it than ever tho. Of course far from the majority, but it’s a start that you can get basically anything with Linux if you want

I would love to call the headline clickbaity bs, but it’s technically accurate and somehow this makes it worse and better at the same time.

If you smoke, you better start vaping. If you vape, you better stop vaping. It’s that simple.

If you can’t, at least don’t use throwaway and sketchy products for anything you plan to inhale.

This is so stupid. Messengers offer easy access to E2EE, but they are not the only way to make it work. So doing this changes nothing, even assuming you need E2EE to distribute illegal material.

And I want to stress this is not even true. Or can I not just go on the internet and download a movie, which is definitely illegal and aggressively persecuted?

The thing is, much of the new stuff is intended to replace old stuff. Modern C++ is a completely different experience than old C++ - actually a much better one imo. But then there are two problems which make things messy:

1. Lagacy code, where introducing new concepts without updating the older parts increases complexity.
2. People who don’t know or don’t care and just copy-paste whatever, mixing styles and standards.

In both cases, you end up needing to know how to do things the new way and the old way, while one of which would be sufficient.

There are exceptions of course (try{ pun(); }catch(const NotFunnyException& err){ return NOT_INTENDED;}).

I saw that statue irl on a tour I think. I can’t really get the story together, wasn’t she some kind of local celebrity and touching the chest of the statue is supposed to give you luck in love or something?
