  • It may mean the user doesn’t think their use is similar enough to the people who make the distro/DE, or trust the distro makers’ decision making ability.

    If a distros’ makers think snaps are a good idea, or that the distro shouldn’t by default show available security updates, or have a UI that hides how many open instances there are of a program unless you hover over an icon, or hides the titles of those open programs, or hides panels; then the way I use a PC is too different from the way they do - and there are likely more things in the background that we disagree with which can’t as easily be changed like UI settings.






  • “Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents, and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities; and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: garbage in, garbage out. […] If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain’t going to do any good; you’re just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here… like, the public.” - George Carlin https://piped.video/watch?v=cBrbXOmnW70


  • It’s like 99% of the Christians I’ve met have never read the Bible, or think no-one else has ever read it:

    In Luke 6:29-30 “If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.”

    Luke 6:35 “love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back.”

    Luke 16:13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

    Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”



  • To possibly fix this, vote for people who’ll start drastic geo-engineering and who’ll make laws that’ll jail everyone who:

    1. has kids unless their community has a fertility rate of 0.01 (this needs to stay in place for several decades),
    2. drives vehicles that run on fossil fuels or electricity,
    3. flies,

    The nazis killed millions of people. If you have a kid in a community with a fertility rate more than 0.01, drive, or fly, despite our current human overpopulation, then you’ll be killing billions of people and causing a mass extinction event by making the biosphere unlivable.



  • No they’re not - having a kid in an overpopulated world is 2 orders of magnitude worse in the USA.

    • 2.4 tonnes of CO2e released per driver per year with the average fossil-fuel powered car.
    • 1.2 tonnes of CO2e released for electric car users in most countries.
    • 117.7 tonnes per kid per parent per year. Wynes et al. 2017

    Human overpopulation is not only the biggest contributor to push us over climate-change tipping-points, it’s also the root cause of almost all other causes. It’s also the root cause of unsustainable habitat loss and pollution. It’s also the root cause of factory farming and industrial fishing, which causes more pain and suffering every year than all other atrocities ever committed in all of history combined.
