  • I have some insight for the average joe.

    When you buy an American made product its a sham 99% of the time.

    I used to run an injection molding machine for a job. And made parts for a well known brand.

    The parts where made from LG plastics from china, on a Japanese injection molding machine ran by me. That got paid $16.40 an hour, with no benefits.

    The parts said “made in America” on the mold.

    Utter sham, im all for american jobs. But its bullshit to say its made in america. When all the parts that make it are not American.

    There should be some legal president that if it says “made in america” it must be 98% american resources.

    Not some dog eggs, of well i bought some plastic from china and the machine from japan. And had the american press the button to make the part. Therefore its an american made product.

    Now im not saying all company’s are like that but majority of them are.

















  • Some real talk.

    Can we just include the 4 most popular text editors on basic systems??

    Like i wanna scream when there isnt my text editor installed on a lightweight distro.

    Vi Emacs Micro Nano

    For context,

    Debian ships with nano and vi Openwrt only ships with nano

    Like cant we just include small editors. In a perfect world i would want neovim installed. But i understand its larger and has alot more dependency’s.

    So having VI isnt as good but im willing to be reasonable.

    JUST INCLUDE VI

    the reason i learned vim is because VI is installed by default on almost every distro.

    Im tempted to try emacs tho
