It is a product of its time and occasionally filled with pretty racist themes. It’s also very good.

Distro - System level stuff. A “type” of linux. Mint, Fedora, Arch, Ubuntu etc.

DE (Desktop environment) - Surface level stuff, i.e. how it looks, behaves, and often what default apps you use for basic stuff like text editing. Gnome, KDE, etc.

Distros have a default DE but often provide different versions using others for people who prefer them.

You likely won’t need to interact with any of that other stuff except flatpaks. Just think of it as a form of distributing and running software.

From another fellow nordic, I honestly think any vote that is not for AFD or the pro-russian left is good enough at this point. I also think that CDU suck, but the important thing now is keeping fascism and Russian influence down. Other values are secondary for now.

Your vote matters, the influence of AFD must be minimized.

Actually great news! Really like the feature and was consistently annoyed when you had to fall back to Google for those languages.

The US is really rocketing toward hard fascism at a rate that makes the gains of the nationalist parties in Europe look pretty tame by comparison.

What the fuck is even going on here, this doesn’t even align with their own weird agenda? This just seems psychotic for it’s own sake.

I hope you guys can get through it without anything dramatic happening, but I don’t think the world can afford to rely on the US being consistently reasonable any more. This is genuinely Russia level stuff.

I think it’s clear that we can never rely on the US again in any respect. Absolute chaotic backwater sinkhole of an oligarch fascist state.

We’re on our own.

Maybe it’s good that we know that now.

Oh yeah, definitely this. The economics will probably never allow it to be deployed at a scale where it will make any sort of difference.

Instead, it is used as an excuse to not take any action on climate change which is actually realistic, albeit hard.

Nice implicit population visualization. Per capita might be more revealing.

Yup.

Sure, the long term productivity and quality takes a nosedive, but the shareholders don’t care about that as long as the numbers for the next quarter look better.

Name them. Name the politicians.

I think Poland is tracking a couple of years ahead of those of us further west, so it’s useful for us to see how you resolve the damage the right wing populists have caused. I think many of us will face the same problem in the future.

Good luck guys.

Good lord, have we learned nothing? At least wait until they’ve actually voted, they can still find some exotic way to block us.

Edit: We made it!

Congrats guys!
