I was so disgusted setting up Windows the last time I had to do so. The installation process was just upselling/shoving adware. And now every other update bricks your pc.

At the bottom of user skill, you’ve got your aunt who needs a Chrome bootloader. Linux is perfect for them, maybe better than Windows.

My school system had thin clients running CentOS growing up and nobody had issues.

Your fingerprint being one of like five people running TempleOS would deanonymize you lol.

We've also regressed a lot making it easier for China to close the gap. Our maternal and infant mortality rates were already terrible before gutting Roe v. Wade so those will continue to worsen. Colon cancer rates are spiking in millennials yet insurance companies won't cover earlier screenings. Republicans continue to allow Americans to be priced out of affordable healthcare and in fact are gutting services for disabled, low-income and elderly Americans under Project 2025.

Russia has stayed in a very small area of Ukraine that is predominantly inhabited by ethnic Russians.

That "small" part is about 20% of Ukraine and they are only "staying" there because that's the limit of what the Russian army has been able to secure so far. Putin would be tap dancing in Lviv if the Russian army could take it.

While the war in Ukraine is not the same degree of tragedy we are seeing in Palestine, there are still issues with ethnically Ukrainian children being taken from their homes and ethnically Ukranian citizens being told they must either take up Russian passports/citizenship or leave. Forced migrations also count as genocide/ethnic cleansing.

Your first postulation is correct. The US is not prepared for drone warfare and it's showing. The US is firing expensive missiles to intercept cheap Shaheds. I suspect your second may also be true but idk.

Wait a minute. That sounds like letting the free market work itself out. We only abide by that when it's the proles getting the shit end of the stick.

This likely ties back to Stephen Miller. This guy despite being descendant from immigrants with liberal family (who disowned him) is super into white nationalism and he gets off at the suffering of non-whites. He pioneered the kids in cages/family separation policy during Trump I and he directed ICE to be confrontational with immigrants and protestors during this administration.

The citizenship data is two-fold. It gives companies like Palantir more data to train on and also helps fascists like Miller determine who is a citizen, who isn't and lets them figure out how to exert maximal harm. Previously this meant neighborhood raids with tools like ELITE built on aggregate data. With the backlash of the raids, they will switch to quieter strategies. They may shut non-citizens out of banking, look for any organizations that help migrants out financially and shut them out. There have been murmurs of something similar planned using data acquired from hospitals.

Lebanon would have had to have launched a land reclamation campaign big enough to make the Dutch look like amateurs or made their own Greater Lebanon for the headline to have been in anything other than percentages.

We might seem something like how his pedo pick Roy Moore lost to a Democrat in Alabama because Republican turnout was so low. Idk about an overt MAGA civil war. Most people I know who voted MAGA are just really quiet now and "don't want to talk about politics."

We won't. They are entrenching themselves by buying up news outlets, influencing social media algorithms, pushing American exceptionalism and jingoism in the classrooms.

Elon: hails from the OG apartheid state, in his free time boosts racist stereotypes about black people, far right influencers and far right political movements, one of which is literally the remnants of the Nazi party and does the Nazi salute for the whole world to see. This guy: totes not a Nazi
