Honestly, I'm using Cinnamon, it has all the stability and practicality of old style gnome with the eyecandy of KDE. However I also use MATE and XFCE if I wanna be frugal on resources.

Holy shit, really? I have had some people genuinely try defend this by saying it's going to be done "on device" (kek) but holy shit.

Go back up your shit and switch. Linux Mint is free.

Proton from Steam allows any game that runs on Windows to run on Linux, alongside all the games that run natively on Linux. The SteamDeck's main OS (SteamOS) is an Arch-based Linux distro, if a steam deck can run it, so can your Linux computer. Thanks to proton, pretty much any Windows game can run on Linux. I literally stream from a Linux Machine.

OK but my whole browser history doesn't get sent to Microsoft to be processed by an AI.

Back up all your data onto a drive, install a simple-to-use Linux distro like Linux Mint or Ubuntu, tell Microsoft to get fucked.

This man is basically saying out loud "Don't date me, I just want a servant I can fuck."

I have had it. 8/10 would actually recommend.

The Slovak PM is a pro Russian anti-queer strongman type who has divided the country.

Oh, so I shouldn't feel too bad for him.

The guy who shot him is a pro Russian writer who has links to a Pro Russian Paramilitary group.

Hmmm, ah, hmm.

Yeah it's not the Porn companies I'm worried about, it's the companies the porn companies use to store the data. Even if they don't leak it, someone can will break in, either a bad actor or the government themselves because, let's be frank, having a list of porn users and what porn they watch is going to be irresistible if they want to spark a scandal based around, say, rival politicians or activists.

Know what's funny? The way politics is going, this could happen but with whoever becomes PM after Sunak because HOO BOY SHIT'S GETTING REALLY FUCKING WILD HERE.

Like the current PM made a transphobic Jibe to the Leader of the opposition WHILE THE MOTHER OF A MURDERED TRANSGENDER TEENAGER WAS IN THE FUCKING GALLERY and refused to apologize. Not to long ago we had a scheme to make kids sing this fucking bullshit in schools because people identify with their home nation more than the UK, not to mention all the absolute horseshit that regularly comes out of the UK.

The UK was never a nation state to begin with. it's traditions are are shallow as bathwater, mainly based around the Empire, which people are quickly realising is a bad thing. It's four, some would even say five nations poorly stapled together with little interplay between the cultures. Each nation sees itself as it's own thing with it's own politics, identity, culture, ideologies, and even languages.

The UK is about as much a nation state as Yugoslavia was.

I live in the UK and everything I have said is from personal experience.

If you think Linux users I'm general are like this, wait until you encounter Arch Linux users.

More like: People on the internet being critical of the current system, Americans on the internet saying "COMMUNISM BAD" as if USSR style state capitalism is the only other possible option.

abbiistabbii , 10 months ago

The core tenant of every form of Communism, regardless of if said party or organisation follows it, is as follows: that the means of production should belong to the workers who work them. If the means of production are not in the hands of the workers, then they are not communist. If they are in the hands of a CEO or a corporation, you have private capitalism or market capitalis like the US. If you put them in the hands of a state, they are in the state, you get state capitalism ala China or the USSR.

The power structure of the state protects an upper class, be it billionaires or "the party". If you abolish the state, but not capitalism, capitalism will rebuild the state (which is why Anarcho capitalism fails every time) and vice versa (which is what happens with Marxist Leninism).

For a Communist or communalist society to work it needs to be Anarchist or classically Libertarian (aka like Bakunin or Kropotkin proposed, not "money first"). It needs to have a horizontal and democratic decision making process that is decentralised, federated, and involves all the members of the community or communities effected. If there is to be a state, it should be to facilitate the colaboration of communities in a bottom up manner. These are the features of almost every single effective or successful Anarchist or Socialist movements from Rojava or the Zapatistas, as well as non-political movements like the Open Source Movement, railway preservatiion movement, and even the early RNLI.

The power structure thant would forbid a free market would be the collective weight of everyone else rather than a state that, sooner or later, becomes the jackboot of capital.
