    Democrats are also conservatives. If you allow the oligarchs and aristocrats to choose who represents you then they will always choose candidates who rule in their interest. You can’t change this system by playing within the ruleset you’re given. Democratic power can only ever be wielded by unions of workers and communes of citizens. Those organizations combine and concentrate the power of regular people and can effectively wield this against the ruling class.


  • Mostly working on getting over covid! In the meantime, I got MacOS running in a VM which was a bit of fun. Host system is Linux Mint 21 and the VM is running through KVM/Qemu. I’ve been wanting to play with it for a while but I’m way too poor to get the hardware. Not a bad system overall, the installer is a bit hinky but users aren’t supposed to see that anyway. Haven’t dug into it much yet but I will when I find some time. Interested to see how closely the experience matches some of the Mac-aligned Linux distros.



  • I’m going to give you two because I pretty much only read nonfiction and I can’t decide.

    Outlaws Inc Which is a lot of fun tales of the adventures of post-soviet aerial smugglers.

    The other is Topsoil and Civilization which you can request a copy of here. This is about how all (from memory) great civilizations have collapsed in part due to the degradation of their topsoil. Its very good, highly relevant, and many years ago started me on the life path I’m now on













  • I’ve been using various distros for the past 6 months trying to find the right fit for my work. I do remote desktop support of many windows based enterprises.

    I use Linux desktop every single day for 8 hours. I also play games of all sorts.

    KDE neon was what I had when I started out and it was great. Zero problems. There’s no reason you’d ever need CLI in plasma desktop that I can see. Fedora/plasma is a no go. Too complex with selinux and you really do need to know what you’re doing. Still quite usable for 90% of day to day

    For the past month I’ve been on mint 21 and have had zero issues and zero CLI time. Been enjoying baldurs gate 3 out of the box, using outlook, teams, various browsers and whatnot. Not going to give a comprehensive list here, but everything works perfectly and almost everything has been installed straight from the software manager.
