Wait--who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline in your estimation, Germany? Do I understand your position correctly?

That’s good to know even if anecdotal. Damn shame. My brother was born in Kostroma. I can’t imagine getting out, choosing to indoctrinate myself, and then voting for the party that hates Ausländers. Thanks for sharing.
Is there any country that is unscathed from this instability? This is the most global instability I’ve seen in my entire life. The Great Recession was one thing—this is much different.
I feel like every week a new country is wavering.
where can I learn more about .world lore
This is my third or fourth alt on Lemmy since joining. I love that I can stick to one account or change instances if I feel like it. It’s not too difficult to get used to! I’m getting a desktop app next.
I like that there’s an application process for each instance. That gives you a good idea of how the instance is managed and what to expect.
I love that I can get German news and interact with Germans and German language speakers. Or, in other words, I love that it’s not default centralized American.
It’s really cool seeing their instances next to everyone’s handle. There’s so much here! I feel a lot safer. I love that everyone is human.
I see @[email protected] everywhere. I have been here a day and I think I have upvoted them 15 times already. Haha
For the real life sorcery duel option what schools of magic are allowed?
This is so cool! What kind of foam did you use? I feel like this would be a great 3D print too :)
Great work!
I just want to second this comment and chime in with my experiences. (Thanks also for the information on Framework as I’m not familiar and love to learn)
My family primarily uses Thinkpads. We refurbish them for fun (and often give them away to our community). We run Linux easily on almost all our Thinkpads. So far, Linux works very well even on some old machines (as old as 2012 which wouldn’t be what OP is looking for but still worth mentioning).
We try different distros all the time but mostly stick with Fedora and PopOS.
Right now, I am on a refurbished Thinkpad T480s running PopOS. The 7th gen processor is probably too slow for OP but it runs Linux great and it can even handle running a large dwarf fortress through Steam haha. The T480s also has a touchscreen option (and screens can often be swapped out). The T480s screens usually have a hinge where they can lay completely flat (although, I’m not sure if they are pen compatible).
A more recent Thinkpad with a better processor could be an option for OP to consider in addition to the other great suggestions you made. :)
This is one of the issues with oligopoly and unrestricted subsidiaries. At that point, every product is an A/B test for the same few companies. The illusion of competition is confusing for the consumer.
But it’s also the nature of our current supply chain and how we manufacture goods—we make products together and goods don’t have a strict nationality anymore like citizens do.
The confusion is maybe a good wake up call for how insidious this issue has become. America slacked on enforcing their anti-trust laws and now the world gets to pay for their mistake.
I hope all of you boycott the hell out of America. It will hurt me personally, but it is necessary. Don’t let up.
