checks out. As we all know that history started in 2022 and anything before that is just lore dumping.
You could just call the Free operating systems GNU/Linux or NonGNU/Linux.
“Vanilla linux” is vague terminology and distorts history.
Do not use browser based password managers as they’re often not encrypted and are tied to that particular browser. Self host/use Bitwarden along with the web extension or KeyPassXC.
Since you’re also getting a desktop PC I highly recommend sticking with just ethernet and not messing with wifi firmware/wifi cards. You should also skip bluetooth as well.
If you want to play proprietary windows freeware/drmware you always have Bottles, Proton, Lutris, GOG etc. If you are forced to use a VM gpu passthrough for a game, then that game is not worth playing because the developers don’t care (why should you then?)
If you want an instant plethora of games you can always look into sophisticated emulators that allow you to insert shaders/upscale graphics rendering, always a good use of a powerful GPU to play retro games on a 8K resolution on vulkan.
Privacy and best practices are nearly universal across most user-obsessive distributions like Mint or Zorin and by extension most if not all distributions. Don’t let anyone tell you that one distribution is more “private” than another.
Mint is simply just better than Zorin in everything that Zorin tries to do, perhaps if this was a year ago things would be different, but Zorin is just not as well maintained as Mint is.
If you like the look of Zorin, that’s okay, most people do. But all desktop environments can be customized to your liking.
Use Mint instead, Zorin is not as well maintained or looked after like Mint.
I wish we could conduct pre-Natal testing for autism
This always sends chills down my spine because I used to internalize that thinking before and genuinely not see what was wrong with it.
I hate abelism so fucking much, its a libs diet fascist cola.
It was good bait to trash on Brike though, it awakened something in me.
It’s the textbook definition of queerbaiting. The showrunners shoved multiple toxic (straight) romantic subplots into the story that led to no development (cheating, etc), made jokes about one of the male secondary protagonists being sexually harassed by a woman of higher socioeconomic class, and Asami (the person Korra is supposed to like) gets little to no actual character development (shes also neolib fascist) and has a out of touch, disgusting torture scene of the main protagonist that is 99% someones barely disguised fetish.
The gay kiss at the end must be contextualized with the fact that the show was doing so poorly at this point that any sort of way to get the pot stirred would be beneficial. It angered the already frustrated Nick execs who saw the show as a huge financial black hole (and now a brand liability) and let Brike disguise themselves as progressive and hide the reason why the show was canceled (which was because the writing team as a whole were irresponsible, immature losers who had shown us that they have nothing useful to say).
OP’s post shows that Brike are still both con-men who have nothing useful to say besides their half-baked lib opinions that they stole from others.
On the other hand, The Owl House, which was authored by an actual queer creator, is a textbook example of how not to queer bait audiences. They got the “brand liability” axe as well, but The Owl House itself is a intensely queer narrative. Don’t even try to say that Korra walked so that the Owl House could run, that’s just insulting to the Owl House.
I would pay to see zaheer and his queer coded posse kill murder neoliberals and monarchs for an entire season.
Korra has a bad habit of making all the villains cooler than the protagonists.
It’s so sad because Nickelodeon actually let Brike get away with a lot of stuff in Korra (on-screen torture of protagonist, on-screen execution of political leader, fascist dogwhistling, contradictions of industrial capitalism, woman protagonist, adult main cast) all for it to be squandered on an orientalist neoliberal imagination that has nothing to say.
If I didn’t know any better I would think that Brike were charged to write Korra so that they could ruin any sort of leftist thought in children’s television after ATLA’s mindblowing success. But it was most likely because Brike are extremely egotistical white who drive success off of controversy and clicks.
Also it’s really funny that the straw that broke the indigenous female protagonist’s back was the queerbait kiss at the end. The nick execs really could not tolerate that.
Oh god, I hope this is just speak and not actually going to be in the show.
At press time, Netflix began promoting the new live action show with the tagline You Are Literally Aang.
Yeah, there’s no hope anymore.
Michael and Bryan (“Brike”) are huge libs themselves. We should always credit Aaron Ehasz, the lead writer for ATLA, with the actual success of the show. Brike were responsible for the art and set direction while Ehasz led the writing team through its 3 seasons.
Ehasz left the writing staff which left Brike to handle the narrative for Korra. This led to both ATLA and Korra being so different that Nickelodeon actually removed the “avatar” branding from Korra (which used to be called “Avatar: The Legend of Korra”).
Korra is not just “libbed up” it was a liberal betrayal. Everything that was set up in ATLA was cannibalized, retconned, or spat on by Korra. The worst thing about it is that the show did so poorly that it is mostly likely the reason why we don’t have more high-budget Avatar media beside the Netflix live action even though Avatar still has a sustained fanbase.
Fuck Korra, it should have never happened, even the queerbait at the end. Brike are hacks and the live action is likely going to be another flop unless production staff has rigorous quality control.
Libs will still seethe about a two state solution and then pat themselves on the back for “ending apartheid” by creating an ultra rich capitalist regime and an overexploited palestinian “homeland”.
Because there’s fault on both sides… amirite???
Remember to be anti-zionist as well as pro palestinian right to return!
Can we keep heartstopper and Alice Oseman though? Maybe a little brit on the side.
I’m not familiar with warp+ but having used Mullvad VPN with most distributions I’d say to see if it supports OpenVPN or Wireguard configurations. That way you can talk directly to NetworkManager or the respective vpn program.
Perhaps Fedora does not have a unique package dependency that Ubuntu has since Fedora is heavily oriented toward systemD and selinux for most system tasks that may be handled by different packages on Ubuntu/Debian distributions. Warp+ may be designed in a way that only expects a ubuntu/debian derivative distro.
I’d try consulting cloudflare customer support for more guidance and to see if they can replicate the issue on their end.
and has even stated he would support the United States moving into North Korea
So he supports nuclear holocaust? It seems that he’s not completely void of US chauvinism. I think a lecture on the Korean war would fix that quickly.
China putting the “Free” in Free Software.
You can always use the Steam flatpak since Valve packages their Linux runtimes seperately within the client. I might be wrong, but flatpak should solve mismatched version/depedency hell.
You could also use declarative package managers like Nix or Guix to also avoid this same issue.
Don’t worry, Linus Torvalds has also complained of the same thing when asked whats holding back the GNU desktop.
Based KDE enjoyer vs. Pog GNOME fan moment. Also, you’re wrong but also right in so many ways.
