  • Took me a minute of googling to be vaguely sure you meant what I think you mean: the comma marking the end of your dependant interjectory clause there?

    at least in America**,**

    If so: I have no idea what you are talking about, that’s drilled into us in school. Maybe people get lazy on the Internet but it is part of the rules and gets taught and used here

    If I’ve misunderstood: what are you talking about, then?

    I think immutability is extremely important for someone who is just starting out

    It really isn’t, though

    as well as starting on KDE since it’s by far the most developed DE that isn’t gnome and their… design decisions are unfortunate for people coming from windows.

    Good thing Mint uses Cinnamon, which with the flip of one toggle on install changes between the Mac and Windows style environment. To the point my wife literally didn’t notice at first she was on Mint and not Win 10

    Not gonna bother with the rest of your comment if the start is that weak, tbh

    I just want people to know that they are welcome to change their minds, nobody is going to mock them for doing so, or say I told you so.

    JSYK: I and many others are putting great effort into letting them know that they’re not welcome, because Nazis who voted for this wanted this, no excuses at campaign #3. They can either die or live in obscurity until they do, period. The time they were allowed back was pre-24 election, simple as

    I went to get it after leaving the comment and am devastated to remember that I had it saved in a text file that I lost. I’ll try to remember to dig through my history to find it, but I do know I found it by basic web search a few years back and that there are many of them in existence, so it shouldn’t be hard to find one of your own if I forget

    I get mine from an IRC channel that has basically everything imaginable

    Torrents and shit are cool and all, but hopping onto IRC and saying 'Hobbit, Tolkien" and being sent 100 download links is, imo, the best

    Run it through Calibre and boom, you’ve got a cheap and quality e-reader with free books


  • Mint CE for my desktop (might distro hop soon for multiple curiosity based reasons, all my data is on non-os drives anyway) - easiest to just get working when fast-swapping, IMO

    Debian for my server - it’s the flavor of Linux I’m most familiar with over the years & for my server I dont need any of the shit Ubuntu does

    STEAM OS for my Steam Deck (I use it as a TV PC so desktop mode is common with it), because it’s really good for that purpose


  • Alternatively:

    Government attempts an economic revival with incentive for young people to move to these places. Some will naturally take hold and flourish, others will not

    Not perfect either, but gives the places a fair chance and leaves the outliers that can survive. Sometimes the burden of the old shit (not just people) can be too much and drag revival down as well, so it wouldn’t be permanent megacities

    Just spit balling off their idea
