I’m not disagreeing with the opinion that imperialism is one of the biggest large-scale problems facing humanity, and that the US is the current worst offender.

I’m just pointing out that at the root of imperialism are a few powerful people attempting to rule over the rest of us. Tech-feudalism in the digital world is another huge problem, as is the rise of fascism. And they all come from class warfare, at least in my humble opinion.

But I am also not pretending to be as informed on history and current events as many other here, and I am no attempting to lecture anyone as if I know better. That would just be decisive and counterproductive.

I agree, I just like to remind people what the end goal is.

The only conflict that matters is the class conflict. Everything else is a distraction. Eat the rich.

I had the same thought. I signed up to be notified when the project starts, but never got an email.

Perhaps they have just had massive delays, but I too would suggest caution.

That’s exactly what I mean. Just like email, different providers/servers can do things a little differently. I suppose that’s just a side effect of being decentralized.

It is more than most contribute. (⁠ ^ ⁠ᴗ ⁠^ ⁠)

Do you have all those categories for posts? Or is that just a suggestion ?

I use voyager, so I only have media,link,text as options. I must admit, as much as I love the fediverse, it can be a bit confusing sometimes .

Damn, you got some harsh comments for just posting a YT link.

Thanks for posting. We need to grow the fediverse, and low-effort stuff like this helps too.

Nice rant!

I’m not going to nitpick, agree with you. Like you said, nuance is everywhere, you can’t talk about general things without leaving out a load of details.

I think you have the right focus. So many people are focused on false dichotomies. Right vs. Left. Innovation vs. Tradition. East vs. West. The list goes on. But they are all distractions. Trivial differences that are magnified by the 1% to keep the masses at each others throats.

The class war is the only real war. The 1% (quickly becoming the 0.0001%) vs the rest of us.

Eat the rich.

You just called luddites idiots, and then proceeded to suggest they embrace…the core tenants of luddism.

Hmmmmmm…did you read the atricle?

I have been using bazzite for over a year, and I am very happy with it. It works very well for gaming, and I have had zero troublehooting outside of getting some mod managers to work.

But immutable distros are different, in general you can’t just install GUI programs if it has no flatpak option. (for CLI stuff there are distroboxes). There are ways, but depending on what you want to do other than gaming, I would check first. Also there have been some episodes of drama among the maintainers, which makes me worry a bit about the future of the distro.

Mint is a great distro too, and from what I hear it for sure it will work well for gaming. I’d say the main differences are:

Bazzite:

• immutable, so you never have a broken setup
• lots of gaming setup done out-of-the-box

• some package installation restrictions
• some maintainer drama

Mint:

• flexible to use various methods of package installation
• No drama (?)

• Not immutable, so it can break if you fiddle with stuff and are careless
• no out-of-the-box gaming setup (but it is not a giant project to setup)

If the AI slop infects Wikipedia to such an extent that it becomes unusable, then such dusty backups could be very valuable. I completely agree that the issue at hand will not be solved by a simple backup, but it won’t hurt either.

Thanks. That’s so cool.

I’m a little confused, can this thing run standard linux cli packages?

It’s not crappy, it’s appropriate for the use case. This is not some flagship android phone, it’s meant for tinkering, for texting, maybe some mariocart on the metro. Also the thing doesn’t cost $1000+, which is a good thing.

I’m currently at roughly 2.5/1, but I’m not happy about it.

I’m in my mid 40’s and other than the comfortable shoe thing I tick none of these boxes.

So…yay me?

Perhaps that was exactly the intent, to ensure that only actual humans read the content? Germans certainly are a breed of their own, but if they (generally speaking, of course) are not ones to do something odd like that without intent.

I have been using bazzite for over a year after starting with ubuntu, and then doing a “I’m doing everything myself” arch install (I learned SO MUCH).

I love it. I got a little frustrated about some of the package installation restrictions, but then I read about distrobox, and now I have an arch box, a ubuntu box, and an ollama box running a local LLM. No more problems with finding CLI programs. I even used the arch box to run adb and fastboot to flash android stuff, it worked flawlessly.

And of course gaming and standard desktop tasks work with zero problems. Next I’m going to convert my wife’s Windows 10 PC to bazzite, and setup excel and some proprietary software for her.
