  • Torvalds should create a standards/stewardship for a my-first-linux introduction to linux. Super minimalist and specifically puts limits on its complexity. Make it good enough for the average person who has installed windows machines to be able to install

    And every one of you linux people need to support all distros including the ones youve never heard of, or wouldnt touch it with the appropriate substitute of 10ft pole

    The amount of bickering ive seen about “best distros” is insane. You people sound like rabid sports fans, or idiotic ford vs chevy luddites.

    Linux as a brand needs a massive overhaul of its public image.

    And that happens by making it dumb stupid easy for people to get started.

    What does your computer need to do? Identify a set up, including a version of all the tools 40% of all users will need or rely on, and make it simple to plug a peripheral in and make it work seemlessly.

    IIIRC im told Mint is most of the way to this.

    If gamers are who made windows what it is today, i think its going to be content creators who will push the next era of pc users




  • Just some advice for all of you affected by this.

    Begin demanding a response from the ownership of this company.

    “Is this Message approved by your board, and owners”

    Just leaving doesnt make a difference, and some of you in the comments bought services right before this. That fucking sucks.

    We dont have journalists and media on our side to help any more(arguably we never did, but that’s a separate discussion)

    I think there are still good bones in Proton, but you know where at least one piece cancer is, and its in the worst spot. Demand as stakeholders that they remove the cancer or admit its not going to happen. Repeat your messages until they publicy respond as a company not just the head of it.

    Its a shame if you dont do at least as much as expressing that they owe you an explanation and that you need the company as a whole, to why this had happened

    This is a betrayal to many of you, tell them exactly what they need to do

    Good luck. It only takes one of you to suceed and we all win



  • And we have tried to clean the slate many times throughout history, but we always get back to where we are. And it will probably work, but i dont think we can until we weaken this digitally reinforced system this time. I think it needs to be broken more before we can get rid of it and the mechanism to breaking it is very simple, we the people need to use the system as much as the corpos do.

    So if we keep money circulating and OUT of investment, we gain power again over finances. Maybe not enough to reverse the problems, but enough that we CAN get to a clean slate.

    I think it will take a world war that changes the maps forever to happen any other way, which i think would be worse for too many people who wont survive. If this was in ukraine hasnt already shown us


  • I think we really just need to remove the burden of having to work yourself to death just to pay for the existence you didnt ask for.

    Which is why UBI or other similar strategies are becoming popular again. Ive thought a lot about this recently and we have too large or a system that depends entirely too much on transactions of money because it is a much easier way to trade goods and services as opposed to some kind of bartering system.

    But money and power corrupt everything over a long enough period of time. Massive turmoil can short circuit that as in times of crisis where values can shift greatly.

    I think the systems we rely on can’t really be dismantled at this point. We need to create an equilibrium before we can start that dismantling of useless,broken,restrictive,unethical, ways in which we transact with other people.

    UBI should be used as the mechanism to achieve that equilibrium so that everyone can use the system. If we arent able to financially exploit people anymore than the people will be able to live for the themselves.

    Not everyone will want to use that opportunity for self improvement, and we need to work to build a system that lets people not have to be a part of it while it still provides for them to live their unasked for existence in much more meaningful manner.


  • Conservatism is a vile plague of inhumanity, oppression and death and should be treated as such. It is due for a cure.

    And yet they seem to be the majority, or close to it. So one has to ask, why is that so many people turn to it. It has to give them value. And is that value real or perceived.

    For some it is very real, usually the exceptionally wealthy. Which means conservatism is profitable.

    Not having empathy for anyone outside of your in group would make it easy to dismiss or justify the fact that the first rule of capitalism is find a weakness and exploit it
