Riots always start with local minority and get more and more people engaged.

America is not lost, and has plenty of people ready to take it on the streets. They just need a push. And having others around fighting for their future is the kind of push that can wake such people up. It’s way easier to join rather than start.

That’s what happens to many authoritarian shitholes: progressives move and evacuate, loyalists remain. That’s how the country gets screwed more and more.

And US is a pretty high-stakes country, so losing that would be very bad.

Fair enough! But won’t they flip again to start the program?

The most beautiful thing about this program is that it would work.

Various bit flips will once lead to all numbers being in the correct order. No guarantee the numbers will be the same, though…

If it’s not gonna happen, more fascist measures will be introduced - without people’s hesitation outside Internet comments.

A solid organized riot does change the course even for most authoritarian governments, even if they happen to suppress it eventually. Politicians should feel that their position is not as solid as they would like.

But the further people prefer to not intervene, the more entrenched authoritarians become and more draconian measures are implemented. As such, the government is strongly interested in making people think rioting doesn’t help. This is part of many authoritarians’ playbooks.

Except minority rights (including, but not limited to LGBTQ+, especially T), healthy immigration policy, right to abortion, fair economic policy, environmental policies, and a million other things.

If you are from the US and you criticized people living under authoritarian regimes for not rioting hard enough, this is your time.

You still have it easy. You won’t be taken into prison for standing with a piece of blank paper. You won’t be beaten with batons and taken into custody for reciting Constitution. Yet. Go ahead before it gets there, and may you never see a true authoritarian horror.

Otherwise, all your words are not worth a dime.

The world: literally doesn’t care

I, in fact, do not :)

You’re not, it’s just that sometimes you paste your passwords outside browser, and opening a browser for that is doable, but feels wrong :D

Also, the app has a more convenient layout as it can afford more screen space.

VMWare, GNOME Boxes, QEMU+virt-manager

Personally using the latter, appears to have the best support and more configuration options compared to alternatives, as well as advanced options like GPU passthrough etc, though it has a bit more of a learning curve, and each alternative option should be fine.

My switch to Linux started 1,5 years ago with Manjaro KDE - and since then, I am still a fan of KDE, which is kind of “Windows UI done right” for me. Ergonomic, configurable, consistent. I also find Pantheon, Enlightenment, and Budgie to be cool concepts, but from a practical side, KDE is a no-brainer for me.

Mint comes with Cinnamon by default, and I guess that’s what you’re using. For me, Cinnamon is too old-fashioned, it’s like you’re back to at least Windows 7 timing. Some people like it, but for me it’s just old and out of touch with the progress of UI’s.

GNOME used in Ubuntu is good with app theming (yay for adwaita!), it is unique and minimalistic, but its overall design is just…not for everyone, and customization is heavily tied to unsafe practice of plugins which has been exploited many, many times.

With all that said, try everything out in a VM or something and see what’s good for you. There are really no wrong choices!

Modding a niche Lemmy community is a breeze, honestly

Not much is happening, but not many troublemakers, either. Modding is pretty much zero effort.

In case you’re wondering, yes.

Oral is above everything

But anal play is really good too for those into it.

Second that.

It feels very good, both physically and emotionally (after you get used to the idea you can be on the “receiving” end). And many, many girls love it! They love to experience sex in a very new way, love to feel what you normally get to feel, and you’ll likely love it too!

Agreed with you!

Comments do drastically differ between .ml and .world. On .ml, you’ll see more sympathy towards Russia and China.

But the issue on hand is way bigger than that. It’s importance is not in Russia getting sanctioned somewhere else - it’s in the destruction of openness and trust in the open-source community, which has far more reaching consequences. What has been done is pretty unprecedented - and dangerous.

And I’m surprised other Linux communities are silent on the matter.

Kernel cannot follow or not follow any legal rules. Linux Foundation can.

And if regulations become a serious issue and go against the spirit of open-source, it is time to move the Foundation somewhere else.
