Fedora, I usually wait 1-2 weeks for the last bugs to be found+fixed and extensions to catch up, and then just upgrade in-place. Haven’t had a major upgrade problem for years now, it’s mostly as smooth as any other offline update. And I don’t feel like I have to reinstall the OS every few years on Linux either.
united, indivisible republic
So no federalism anymore, just one centralized state power.
All baronial and other feudal estates, all mines, pits etc. shall be converted into state property
The mortgages on peasant farms shall be declared state property
All private banks will be replaced by a state bank
All means of transport: railways, canals, steamships, roads, posts etc. shall be taken in hand by the state
So the state owns and manages all land, all finances, all infrastructure, and all means of mass transportation, on top of all the things the state controls already.
Idk what you think centralization of power looks like, but imo this is it.
Because that’s what creating an all-powerful government leads to. Imo the key is splitting up and balancing the power, not concentrating it in one easily corruptable entity.
One of us One of us One of us! :)
No! I prefer ______, and you are WRONG for thinking otherwise!
Why stop half way? All you need is a benevolent dictator, shouldn’t be too hard to find, right?
Some of these points are good, some are just absurd. Letting “the state” handle everything and hold all the cards, and then actually believing that it won’t be coerced and corrupted or that there won’t be strong disagreements about how to handle things is just delusional and wishful thinking on a grand scale imo.
I agree that most modern countries need to strenghen the public sector, but you still need checks and balances between powers, individual responsibilities and freedoms, real-world economic feedback and incentives, and so on.
Cause it’s one big part of why the Fediverse and Lemmy exist in the first place.
We wouldn’t need all this decentralization overhead if centralized sites were trustworthy and focussed on serving their users. The fact that they are not is what leads to privacy violations and enshittification, hence why people created the Fediverse and why we are here (at least most of us I presume).
I unironically think that quality political satire is a good way to engage with politics.
It often cuts right through the BS and talks about issues that regular news or talk shows are afraid to touch. Also, it’s always clear that what’s being said is the opinion/interpretation of the artist, so you’re encouraged to think about it for yourself and see what you agree or disagree with.
You have to be careful not to rely on it too much, and also use other forms of media to inform yourself, but it definitely helps when trying to get into political subjects.
There are a few variations in German:
Ofc all of them are combinations of existing words: (hin)zu/dazu≈added to that, bei≈with, (hin)ein=into, gießen/schütten=pour, schutt=rubble, geben=give, rühren=stir, mischen=mix, zusammen=together. You could probably build many more, but those are the ones I think are fairly common, and also found entries in German online dictionaries for.
German is really just an elaborate word construction project.

Such a simple solution for the cookie banner issue. But it prevented websites from tricking users into allowing them to gather their data, so it had to go.
One cup of coffee on the balcony every morning. Just sitting there, enjoying the atmosphere, watching people walk by (I live near a park), maybe meditating a bit.
Afaik the stated reasons for moving back were pure BS, or at least blown out of proportion. It mainly came down to the people in charge being very “friendly” with M$. Munich got a new major, he publicly called software-freedom “idiological nonsense”, asked a consulting firm that partners with and sells M$ products to analyse the situation, and everyone was shocked when they recommended M$.
Nope, not if you use the Beeper Bridge Manager. I’m running two bridges right now, without having my own Matrix server.
You only need to selfhost the bridge, it can use their Matrix server. Makes it much simpler.
Self hosting their bridges is really simple, if you have a device to run the Docker containers on. That way you don’t have to give them your logins, all they get to see are encrypted Matrix messages.
I have flickering issues with some Electron apps. Everything else seems to work fine, including a 2nd monitor. But I still dual-boot Windows for games, I’m waiting for HDR support to fully make the switch.
Yea sorry for that, I had the same thought as you right after I posted my comment.
I don’t think I would even call a being like that “god”, more like “evil spirit” or something.
Isn’t the god supposed to define what good and evil even is, and wouldn’t therefore any monotheistic god be “good” by definition?!
Welcome to the Linux community. :)
You will probably never understand everything about Linux and all of its included and associated systems. That’s completely fine, no one does! That’s why we are many, and it’s what asking for advice or help is for. You can just learn whatever interests you at your own pace, and know that there will always be interesting things you haven’t seen yet.
