  • Why concrete?

    It's energy intensive (~& polluting), unhealthy, and does not last.

    Various other options are available now. Lime hempcrete, and various myco-based solutions, for a couple examples.

    With various suppressed technologies, if de-secreted and availed, we could even be building giant forest arcologies, and even linking them up to create vast forest arcologyscapes, increasing the carrying capacity of earth into the hundreds of trillions. Not saying we should, just saying we could, and that we have so much headroom without these crooks, these rentiers, seeking to keep others down just to maintain their power over others, even if it means making themselves worse off than what they could be in real terms, in egalitarian freedom and abundance.

    Also, I hear there are already sufficient number of empty housing to house all the homeless... but the hoarders do not want to avail that for good use. They want to remain complicit in the manufactured scarcity to increase their return on investment, keeping the bubble growing.

  • I remember in 2004, a friend of a friend had returned to our local, and as an ex-colleague of Trump's he told us stories about what a joke of a played narcissist he is, being primed by his psychopathic handlers for a puppet presidency.

  • Could have swore that was going to say "worse than Hitler".

    Imagine USA gets a system where people vote for what they want, not merely against who they don't want.

  • Not every.

  • Fits. My boomer parents around 70 are boobtube addicts.

    PS, 70th comment.

  • It's the freedom, not the Linux.

  • I've won when everybody gets the principles of free software philosophy, along with other essential freedoms, free roaming, free speech, free assembly, free press, free energy, free healthcare, etc.

    It's the freedom.

    Free to use, study, share, change.

    The Free Software Definition

    The free software definition presents the criteria for whether a particular software program qualifies as free software. From time to time we revise this definition, to clarify it or to resolve questions about subtle issues. See the History section below for a list of changes that affect the definition of free software.

    The four essential freedoms

    A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms: [1]

    • The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
    • The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
    • The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2).
    • The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

    A program is free software if it gives users adequately all of these freedoms. Otherwise, it is nonfree. While we can distinguish various nonfree distribution schemes in terms of how far they fall short of being free, we consider them all equally unethical.

    In any given scenario, these freedoms must apply to whatever code we plan to make use of, or lead others to make use of. For instance, consider a program A which automatically launches a program B to handle some cases. If we plan to distribute A as it stands, that implies users will need B, so we need to judge whether both A and B are free. However, if we plan to modify A so that it doesn't use B, only A needs to be free; B is not pertinent to that plan.

  • Thanks for that reply.

    And...

    Thanks for the update edit.

    I'm on bedrock linux, already got my X server from other distro strata.

    Spent (more than) a couple hours wrestling my artix today, and it seems to have other issues (that I have ideas how to remedy tmro after sleep), that had been further preventing me from trying Konform, failing on gpg. Shall see how it goes in the morning.

    ... packaged for void linux would be cool too. ;)

  • Oh, even when websearching for "star trek miles o'brian" all the results say O'Brien.

    ... I seem to have slipped into an alternate timeline. I was 100% sure it was always O'Brian.

  • I already know that I won’t be able to use apt,

    ... You can. Could hijack it with Bedrock Linux, and brl fetch <any distros using apt> or import

    <any distros using apt>

    . Of, if that's too non-trivial a system change, perhaps just Distrobox? It'd let you use apt too right? (I don't know, I've never used Distrobox since I already use Bedrock). Or could go really wild, and make it like PCLinuxOS, and have apt handle your rpms. Or just alias the commands to make it familiar.

  • What should I expect switching to Fedora?

    Smugness.

  • Sitchlin's decorticating machine. ;)

    Oh, but wait...

  • Is Ironclad "Almost There"?

  • When I last tried hurd (around 2014 iirc), it was "there" enough. I'm not sure what this other "there" others are on about, like it's a hard binary transition point to being usable, as if it might as well not be working at all. It's there enough to give it a go. Long time.

  • Baulk a loud perplexed "YOU WANT TO BE LED!?!!"

  • Main thing I noticed too.

  • “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”

  • may like fish's better.

  • what shell is that, that uses "," between commands?
