  • How to get into linux and stay with linux?

    Jump

  • My issue has been with #1 on your cheat sheet. My first modern (post 2014) migration attempt was with Manjaro, but every time I would install updates it would break secure boot. Then 2 weeks ago it just flat out killed grub.

    I decided to take the advice of many people on the Linux side of Lemmy and nuked Manjaro in favor of CachyOS. I like it quite a bit more than Manjaro, and limine kicks grub's ass, but I keep running into more limitations with the package manager. I look for windows software alternatives, find they should be available on the AUR, but then have problems getting an installation.

    There is a lack of good documentation for using AUR on Cachy, and things aren't intuitive for a long time Windows power user. That doesn't even get into flat pack or AppImage. It's a very steep learning curve.

  • The Hunt for Red October did the same, the first minutes are in Russian with subtitles and then it slips into English mid sentence as if the audience adapted to the language. Very effective actually.

    Doesn't change the fact that it's Sean Connery's brogue on a Russian naval captain, but at least it somewhat explains it. Clearly the captain is from wherever the Scottish equivalent for Russia is.

  • It's almost like the Bible is actually a collection of separate books written by a bunch of random people with wildly different ideas and perspectives over hundreds or thousands of years, and not a single coherent document written by a single omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent entity.

  • While you make great points, I believe the previous poster was probably complaining that those people who are in it just for the community are still (by and large) voting and supporting keeping their community on a local and national stage. If you vote in Christian nationalists or support "Christian" laws because your church is advocating for them, it doesn't matter if you personally just like the music and church picnics. The same goes for tacit upholding of Sharia Law by social Muslims.

    It is incredibly hard to be a social Christian or Muslim without a belief that even if they aren't 100% convinced about God, their book is better than the alternatives. They are (again slightly generalizing) in support of the good aspects like "love thy neighbor" and subconsciously give weight to their book overall.

    Those who have fully deconstructed or were only ever religious by outward appearance or for protection from a Christian or Muslim society shouldn't really be lumped in as a Christian or Muslim.

  • What exactly is the problem with Manjaro? I ended up trying it, but my switch to Linux from Windows 11 has been hampered by Battlefield 6 and a few other games. Did I make the wrong choice for Linux distro?

  • No, it's clearly not "brown people from over there". What you are describing is assimilation into your culture. That requires that the people immigrating want to assimilate and join "you". Also, a subset of sickos within "Western" culture being pedos is not the same as a society that believes child marriage is normal (or preferable).

    Fundamentalist Christianity (any denomination or offshoot) is generally a "white people" culture and is also fundamentally incompatible with Western liberal society just as much as Islam is or Hindu caste is etc, so no, it is not just a "brown people" thing. White Christians don't need to keep practicing things that harm kids, but it is part of their culture so they still do. And they influence or attempt to set the law to conform to their cultural beliefs. That is the concern with non-assimilation and mass immigration of any kind, anywhere.

  • A peaceful and united world without borders would be awesome. I wish I could be as optimistic as you, but when we have so many examples of one culture completely wiping out another I can't get there. Tibet is a "recent" example, all Native cultures in North and South America are more. Most of Africa as well.

    I do think that not all cultures are equal because all cultural institutions are not equal. Child marriage, caste, women's rights, LGBT rights, etc. are components that make up cultures, and everyone thinks their culture's interpretation of these is superior and should be enforced as the norm. This will be THE blocker for a united one world society without borders.

    Looking into why there are too many people coming from country X to fix those problems, no matter how generously you are trying to make sure their plate has enough, will invariably run into cultural clashes with fixes. International solidarity and support should increase, but at what point is that cultural colonialism? Can for example Sharia Law coexist perfectly with liberalism? Can a society made with conflicting ideas about autonomy exist?

  • Calling it all racism is a thought-terminating cliche. Not all groups of humans have the same societal values, and that is not intrinsically tied to race. It is economic in origin. There certainly are racists like you describe, but they are most likely a vocal minority.

    The wealthier a society becomes, the more picky it can afford to become. Personal autonomy can be selected for easier when hand to mouth subsistence isn't taking up 100% of your time. Things like Abrahamic religious laws arise from subsistence societies. This doesn't make cultural friction any less real or impactful.

    Women's rights and abolition of child marriage is the result of privilege, but that doesn't mean they are bad things. When "most" people talk about integration, they are broadly talking about adoption of those values.

    To your final point, sadly a mass reduction in habitable land will almost inevitably result in reciprocal population loss. Probably violently through wars of conquest for the remaining resources.

  • To be fair, many against illegal immigration push for going after companies who hire illegal immigrants. A lot of those many would prefer to go after the employers first, because you solve a problem at the source and not by treating symptoms. E-Verify and employment law are supposed to do that, if there is no economic incentive then most illegal immigration stops.

    As for seasonal migrant workers, there are laws enabling them to do it legally. They need desperately need to be updated and expanded, but the legal groundwork is there.

  • Shouldn't that be an easy question to answer though?

    If a supermajority left-wing government changed immigration law to free and unrestricted passage across borders, making anyone who sets foot on US soil is legally a resident if they wish and further entitled to a pathway citizenship if they want it, then that would be the law and must be followed.

    Anyone would still be free to run their campaign on changing immigration law back, or to something else. Economic and societal performance under that hypothetical law change would determine if a supermajority of "change immigration law to XYZ" then gets elected to do that.

    There is always a possibility that putting no or too few limits on immigration causes irreversible damage to a country before course correction can happen, but the same is true for extreme polarization and unresolvable political divide.

  • The Constitution is not the totality of law nor was it ever intended to be. It is the guide rails that establishes the scope that the rest of the legal system exists within.

    How would framing immigration in comparison to the Bill of Rights even push the same buttons as the Second Amendment? The Constitution grants Congress the authority and requirement to protect the country and to set naturalization law, which is immigration. There is, as you said, no constitutional right to become an American citizen.

    Piss off right-wingers with Due Process, because Constitutionally everyone on US soil or in US custody for any reason, and that means Everyone with a capital E, is covered under Due Process.

  • Not to counteract that there is definitely a decent amount of racism involved, but isn't your point about law changing hypotheticals basically useless? If the government changed any law making any currently illegal immoral thing legal, wouldn't anyone not care about what's legal? And just because something is legal doesn't make it right. Some states still have legal child marriage, that doesn't mean anyone should like it and there should be mass efforts to make it illegal.

    There is definitely a middle ground between open border immigration and what is happening now. Not everyone who is against illegal immigration is racist, and I would hesitate to even attempt to claim racism is a majority reason. It's has become a thought-terminating cliche the same way "woke" or DEI is for the Right.

  • Who would have thought Amazon caused all this by killing brick and mortar stores and malls, thus creating the mall cop to ICE pipeline.

    All this time I thought it was caused by Amazon dumping money into the Trump administration. Completely different.
