  • I’m not actually sure I understand it. What about Mint is easier or more user friendly than say, a Fedora spin?

    And if having that decanonicalized Ubuntu base is important, then why not install Tuxedo OS instead? Plasma is by far the most Windows-like DE in my experience, and it is more developed and featureful. Cinnamon, as I understand it, is still stuck in X11 land, which is less secure, and only in maintenance mode.












  • Just to avoid catching ire for adding nuance, I want to preface everything by stating that the nazi regime was obviously a criminal scourge upon humanity, and it’s perpetrators entirely irredeemable. If the nazi regime was ever falsely accused of anything, it will always just be irrelevant little details, in the face of the sheer bulk of provable horrors committed by them, their collaborators, and the weight is on the shoulders of everyone within their borders, who was of legal age and sound mind, and who didn’t do anything to resist.

    With that out of the way, the descendants of the Allies should stop swallowing the propaganda of their forefathers raw, and instead try to take an honest, critical look on this part of their past.

    The fact of the matter is, the Nürnberg trials were a farce, more a show trial and a kangaroo court, of Victor’s parading around the defeated, conducted on a legal basis that didn’t exist, with many punishments (executions) being violations of the inalienable human rights that were soon after proclaimed by the victors, as an encodification of the core values that they claimed to espouse.

    The trials were a mockery. Surely, it would have been possible to prosecute and punish anyone deserving of it, by the laws of the pre-1933 Weimar Republic, which, contrary to popular belief today, was not abolished in a legal manner in the first place, and so would still have jurisdiction.

    Anyway, the Nürnberg trials are an awful ideal to shoot for - especially when we today finally (and fairly recently) have managed to establish a proper International Criminal Court, with authority and legal basis to dispense real justice against the perpetrators of crimes against humanity. Recognise that court, and insist on it carrying out justice. When you ignore thst court in discourse, and choose to hold up an 80 year old mock trail as the standard of justice, that just makes it all the easier for any future victor to quickly carry out their own kangaroo courts, executing based on what’s politically convenient, while slowing the path towards a legal world order.



  • I mean, a country with minimal military spending (or, one that doesn’t have their own encrypted satellite network) can get a commodity device that gives modern connection speeds with very modest latency.

    But the empowerment it obviously gives to an underpowered military is phenomenal.

    Indeed, that’s how it was sold. But that’s not what it ever really was. What it really is, is a big fat on/off button in the hands of a private corporation, and the nation where that corporation is based. It’s generally a bad idea to put the on/off button of your entire military into the hands of an outside power, as is made abundantly clear now.

    This kind of technology isn’t really feasible for smaller nations to establish on their own. The only countries that should ever rely on Starlink, or it’s equivalent, are countries that either control it, or countries that are already vassals of countries that control it.

    Not like Ukraine exactly had a lot of options at the time, of course…




  • The problem here is that those are filters, and the newcomer will usually still be faced with several options, which will still make them scratch their head.

    A wizard is a good idea, with simple questions, rather than filter buttons.

    But it needs to end up telling you “here you go, this is the one you want!”, giving you just a single instance. Doesn’t matter that multiple will probably match the answers given - then just pick one at random. Chances are, they will be equally happy on either, and if not, well, it isn’t very hard to switch to a new instance later on, when they have become regular Lemmists.



  • Can you delete it a little harder? It’s still there for me. Maybe you only put it in the thrash bin. You need to either empty the bin, or press shift+delete in order to delete it permanently.

    Godspeed. We’re all counting on you, oh ye who has the power to delete all of Reddit!

    P.S.: Not trying to make fun of you, btw! Just entertaining myself. “Deleting” something sounds so different when you’re used to using it through your browser. :D
