I think the R is ripe for some socialist ideology, they spend so much time demonizing the D that they could say “we promise baby money” and people will go nuts.

What’s the term when a country has a brain drain but caused by itself?

Caveman@lemmy.worldto Malicious Compliance@lemmy.world•[Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TVEnglish52·4 days agoIn a hypothetical where there’s a murderer with a machine gun killing children that will not be prosecuted in court then wishing them to be dead is pretty reasonable if you want the killing to stop.
Not saying killing is moral or that people don’t have the right to live because they do but how else would you stop the murder if the government doesn’t?
Caveman@lemmy.worldto Malicious Compliance@lemmy.world•[Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TVEnglish51·4 days agoIf one side kills 100 for each one of their own killed there’s a big difference. Other factors to consider is when your land is blocked off from the outside world by land, sea and air and being routinely invaded. The Geneva convention says there is a right to resist occupation on top of that which Israel did sign.
TL;DR: Try installing some on virtual box, by all means try Linux mint cinnamon but also try Ubuntu and Fedora KDE.
Linux has some jargon and since you want to learn I’ll give you a quick rundown of how a variation of Linux is composed.
“Kernel” is what makes Linux Linux. It’s a way of interacting with the hardware.
A “distribution” or “distro” is a one of the many flavors of Linux.
They are usually “based” on a common foundation like Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Nix and whatever. These also work like an onion where Mint is based on Ubuntu which in turn is based on Debian, all of which use some version of the Linux kernel.
A that’s just a base will just get you a terminal (also called a shell or console) and is very useful to make a server for example.
What most people think of as an OS is the user interface (i.e. clickable shit). The terminology in Linux for that is “desktop environment” (DE).
You’ll see a lot of distributions mix and watch between a base and a desktop environment such as Fedora with KDE, Ubuntu (Ubuntu with Gnome), Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE), Bazzite (Fedora silverblue base with either gnome, KDE or deck DE).
You mentioned Cinnamon. Cinnamon is a desktop environment for Mint so a Linux Mint Cinnamon contains the code of the following:
Linux kernel, Debian, Ubuntu and Mint as a base and Cinnamon to interact with it by using a mouse and keyboard.
There are currently three bases that are really popular right now, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch. In the DE there are currently two that are most advanced, namely KDE and Gnome but Cinnamon is not far behind.
In all honestly, none of this matters all too much, just install a couple of popular distros on a virtual machine like Virtual Bok and do a vibe check.
Take a couple of these, install some programs and fuck around with the settings for a bit, install themes and whatever or watch a quick YouTube video on it:
- Ubuntu (gets hate for being corporate but is solid, uses Gnome)
- Linux mint Cinnamon
- Fedora KDE
- EndavourOS (an arch based distro that’s supposedly easy, haven’t tried it)
- Bazzite (weird way to install programs through the package manager but hard to fuck up beyond repair)
- Something with the Xfce DE just to see the “lightweight” look.

Upvote stuff I like such as positive news, shitposts, windows bad and Linux good posts.
Downvote rarely, only if the post is factually wrong or misleading and I’ve spent the time to confirm. “Person shreds other person” is a shit headline and unless he hit a 10 point debate combo with a knockout I’d Downvote.
Caveman@lemmy.worldto Autism@lemmy.world•I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who lost friends and family, just because they voted for the current president.51·7 days agoI’ve heard that autism world view is more governed by values instead of which group you’re a part of. The question “describe yourself” was studied and autistic people respond with “conscientious, stubborn, eager to please, sharing and believe firmly in the pursuit of knowledge” while neurotypicals respond rather with “white Christian man from the Midwest” etc.
Honestly, to me it’s painfully obvious what Trumps game plan was going to be and there was an example of it before where he enacted the Muslim ban, had an anti Latino sentiment, inhumane detention camps and so on.
It seems to me that the voters didn’t feel included in the economy and they felt their way of life was slowly being removed by the Democrats so they voted for fascism. Instead of voting for the bad option they voted for worse because the bad option hadn’t been working for them so far.
US politics is a shitshow.
