This, tbh. Propaganda is a hell of a drug. And the worst part is, it's not a drug most people willingly take. They're blindsided, their phycology is abused to suck them in, and before long, without even realizing it, they're in a completely different reality, scared and paranoid. It's terrifying and sad.

I'm a huge coffee drinker. Used to have a machine. It broke. Bend using an aeropress and French press for awhile and find that I really don't miss the machine.

The best time to save the planet was 10 years ago. The next best time is now.

The presidential debate, in which Donald Trump repeated the debunked claim that Haitian immigrants were eating common household pets.

Honestly, it seems to me he realizes he fucked it up, and the fact he blames 4chan suggests some level of self-awareness. I really hope he logged off that wretched site and apologized to the woman.

My comment wasn't "Linux works perfectly in every single regard." It was "Linux isn't hard to use for the things that do work on it." I'm well aware Linux isn't right for every use-case, nor did I say it was, I said it wasn't hard to use. Compatibility is a separate issue here.

My guy, there are entire countries controlled by Islamic Extremists where you're lucky if all they do is kill you when they find out you're LGBT, and it's entirely for "theological reasons."

I put this in quotes, because I'm not nor have I ever been a Muslim. But Islamic Extremists will kill gay people for supposed "theological reasons."

It's most definitely not just America doing it because "mah holy book says it's wrong."

It depends! You'll get a lot of recommendations. And they're probably good recommendations. But there are most certainly Distros out there that are very simple. I would suggest you don't be afraid to Distro Hop until you find one that you really feel at home on.

If you're looking for something that's simple, out of the box, and out of your way, I'd avoid anything Arch based. Ubuntu or Debian based Distros will have the most documentation and therefore minimize the amount of time you spend looking for answers, however, Fedora based Distros, in my experience, are rock solid and sit comfortably between stable and the bleeding edge.

"We have no idea what happens next."

I'm pretty sure there's a movie about this.

I don't get all this "gaming on Linux is hard" non-sense. All I have to do is set a specific flag on Steam and click play. That's it. One step, and 99% of my library just works, sometimes better than on Windows.

If it isn't on Steam, I search for it on Lutris and Lutris installs it for me, and I click play. And more often than not, it just works.

Hell, the mother fuckers that make Final Fantasy XIV's quick launcher made that shit a flatpak! And it's so fucking seemless, not a soul would know that game isn't a native Linux game!

Where's the difficulty?

So many people get so overly upset about Everette's violent tendancies, missing the point that it's art, and it's basically a collective vent piece. Everette says and does the things so many people have fantasized about to cope with obnoxious and rude people.

It's art. Just enjoy the catharsis.

Given how fucking shitty that brand is in terms of quality, they must not contribute very much.
