For business usage, it's really just Debian and Red Hat as options, along with their derivatives. For personal use, add Arch to the list.

Other distros exist but people don't generally need to worry about them, their stability or compatibility, etc. This includes developers as well as users.

The BBC are accused of bias "from both sides" because their job is to establish and defend the establishment's preferred Overton window; or in other words, to set the standard for what "impartial"/"common sense" is held to be.

To the extent political beliefs are down to individual values and preferences, there is no objective centre, and moderacy amounts to a "golden mean" bias. On the other hand, to the extent political claims are able to be proven or disproven by science, at least one side must be wrong and only one can be right, and so the centre is simply ignorant.

Or so I've heard, anyway.

Iran is treated that way because they're openly opposed and work counter to US interests, giving support to both Hamas and Russia, for example. Neither Pakistan nor India are so reliably anti-West, so even if they could plunge the world into a nuclear winter, there's little propaganda motive.

Basically, what the bourgeois media report on isn't what's important for people to know, but what's important for the bourgeoisie to make known (or, well, make believed).

This would make sense if Labour weren't a copy of the Tories, and Starmer wasn't elected because he was another hard right figurehead running when people were upset with Tories for letting too many BAME and female people into top spots.

In short, if you want any sort of human rights then blue and red are off the table. Have been since Corbyn was purged.

PFAS, pesticides... Almost every synthetic and a lot of the natural chemicals used in industry have unknown or known-bad side effects on hormones, behaviour, brain development, everything. And most countries don't regulate anything that doesn't outright hospitalise you right after exposure.

Nietzsche wasn't a nihilist, though. Nor was Heidegger.

And Heidegger diving into the reactionary deep end is incompatible with Nietzsche, whose actual argument re: nihilism was that things like history, tradition, and Heidegger's "authentic Volk" are without value.

Maybe they are actually talking to "God" but that god is Nyarlathotep. 🤷‍♀️

NATO is a military organisation which is led by the United States. The war started from expansion threats by NATO against Russia; or in other words, the war is NATO vs. Russia.

As NATO is and long has been led by the USA, the Commander-in-Chief of the USA speaks for them.

(As for why, if it's NATO vs. Russia, NATO haven't gone all-in? Because they could very easily start World War III that way, and no one is very keen on doing that.

Oh, and also because they don't give a fuck about East Slavs.)

Do you think the Soviets should have run around slapping random people who used to be in the Wehrmacht? Do you think throwing your milkshake at some German who supported Hitler in 1932 would have stopped the Nazis?

Punching random goons achieves nothing for the people. It is not praxis, it is not a revolutionary action, and saying you support it doesn't suggest that you take actual steps to oppose anyone.

Are you saying the CPC is libbed up for deliberately using reeducation and formal justice systems to resolve the recurrent terrorism problem in Xinjiang rather than using force and naked brutality like liberal "democracies" usually do? Keeping in mind that the Xinjiang policies have been effective while imperialist violence has deepened and entrenched conflicts, and that those ongoing conflicts which have been resolved through pure force specifically use lethal weapons and mass execution, not some embarrassing discount Incredible Hulk imitation.

Or I guess we should be real here that you're just fedposting.

I think in America it's usually called hydric acid! 😨

Finally a chance to say "fully automated luxury gay space communism" and actually have it work in my favour.

This comes from someone who genuinely believes in the right to punch Nazis.

Well, I see the problem now. Punching people doesn't solve Nazism.

If you were advocating for reeducating them, revoking their right to vote, or even putting them in prison, fine. But punching people is just some weird power fantasy, "I'm better than you because I beat you up."

The fact you think beating people up just to feel dominant or whatever is good politics shows you have a lot in common with Pewds... and, well, Nazis.

Why shouldn't I be able to have the files mare.png (a photo of a horse) and MarE.png (a photo taken on a vacation in March, fifth in the series after MarA, MarB, MarC, and MarD)?

Or rainsley (a text file, no extension, with notes about a story I'm writing) and Rainsley (a directory with art of the same character the file is named after)?

Do I strictly need to be able to do these things? No, of course not. But the file system is more flexible and functional if I am able to.

And every major population in the U.S. would be annihilated in return. If China decided to nuke their own coast, America would either do nothing about it or come to a swift and total end.

All humans are basically pure evil.

You've never been fucked in your life. You can complain about being fucked when you live in Gaza or Syria or something. Until then, stop pretending you're some kind of victim because you blow money on expensive tech shit and partying.

Let me be more blunt about this.

You're going to die. No matter how much money you make, no matter whether you own your own house or not, no matter whether you can buy whatever food you fancy, you are going to die.

If you're spending your life just thinking about how to make more money, your life is pointless. Do something better with it.
