I don’t have a lot of T-Shirts anymore, but my favourite is probably one from a youth club in eastern Germany with Boss “MyName” (but the wrong spelling) on the back, and the logo of my late father’s long bankrupt company as a sponsor on the front.
It’s funny, but more in a nostalgic way.
It’s not a smiley.
That’s a whole lot of words to say almost nothing.
I’d go in a different direction - requiring someone to sing your national anthem is wrong. It’s wrong when the U.S. do it, it’s wrong when Canada does, it’s wrong when China does it.
I find national pride hard to understand, but forced displays of national pride are really iffy.
I think Reuters only has a Best of feed from their agency side, which isn’t really that useful as a news feed. All their feeds seem to be shut down, at least the ones I had stopped working.
I trust Reuters more than I trust Media Bias Fact Check. I of course still vary my media diet, but they’re certainly a pillar of it.
Seem to remember that they had a big scandal with a climate change denier editor that changed some articles a few years ago. Good to remember that no oragnisation is above scrutiny.
Water. Cold brew black or green tea if I’m feeling frisky.
I mean, if I felt morally obliged to disclose illegal or immoral practices to the public, I’d be sure to run so somewhere they can’t get me. If there aren’t proper whistleblower protections, you gotta make your own.
one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned
Yeah, let’s keep it to one kind of gambling. I like and use opensuse tumbleweed. Rolling release, never had stability problems.
Yeah, fuck the KMT. But as you have recognised, they aren’t a dictatorship anymore.
And the status quo is that they are de facto a small independent island nation, that is de jure claiming mainland China.
It was more supposed to be a joke about the second reason being much more significant.
Edit: I think this was the first time I missed a black on white sarcasm flag. Oh well, it’s early in the morning, and there’s a first for everything.
Well, I don’t go there for two reasons -
You have an island governed by a democratically elected government, with a population that from what I remember mostly doesn’t want to be assimilated into the PRC. The PRC taking it by force would, in my eyes, be rather imperialistic.
How many anti-masturbation feminists do you know personally?
The same attitude, not the same words. Both “I use Linux, that makes me better”, and “I use Windows because I actually need to get work done” seem rather smug to me.
It could of course be “I use Windows for my needs, but recognise that other might be happier with a different experience”, but to me it feels like “I am a serious adult, and they are not.”
I do believe it’d result in a better company. I’m not convinced it’d result in a higher stock price.
They’re still worth a lot more than almost any other car manufacturer. Without Musk and his pie in the sky promises, what else is left to justify that?
If we wanna go down that metaphor than it’d be in a world where the only options for a fully featured experience currently where a mac and a Chromebook.
Fully Foss Smartphones are great as a concept, and I hope that Linux on mobile gets to a point where it’s usable as a sail driver, but it isn’t there yet for me, and I believe the same applies to a lot of people, which is kinda ironic to say in a comment thread in which I just wrote about recognising how personal experiences aren’t necessarily universally applicable, but whatever.
It sounds like you don’t necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that’d probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.
