@mekkaokereke So high crime rates causes people to want to vote republican more so than usual?

@tripu @admitsWrongIfProven

One could argue (im not sure if im one of them mind you) that a collective in a free-market is no longer a free market. If you support anti-trust legislation that stops companies from collaborating to fix prices, and that such things represent an unfree market, then one can argue large unions are equally violating.

A good way to start a feed on a new social media site is doggo pictures, right?

**CALLING ALL FRIENDS, ADVOCATES, AND ACTIVISTS** A leaked e-mail from a Texas Department of Protective Safety trooper documents the remarkably cruel measures Governor Greg Abbott has instituted at the border to deter crossings. These include hidden razor wire traps, the withholding of water even in extreme heat, and orders to push migrants—including children and infants—back into the Rio Grande where they might drown. The sight of razor wire to corral innocent human beings has echoes for me personally, when similar wire surrounded the Japanese American internment camps of my youth. We cannot let Governor Greg Abbott get away with this. I'm calling on you, my friends, advocates and activists, to help put a stop to this by signing the petition demanding the Biden Administration puts an end to these inhumane practices against migrants in Texas.

@trinsec Yea, its a shame I cant tell you which ones :) but there are a lot.

@BigMcLargeHuge

Absolutely. I am generally quite "sick" of most people who are firmly on the left or right.. but he is an exception.. 90% of his stuff at least is stuff I can support.

@ambihelical

Yea its not even on the order of learning a new distro... its more like learning a new distro AND a new programming language.. its a significant bump.

But my god it is a game changer if you can get past that learning curve! I cant even begin to list all the nice things you get.

@georgetakei

As always thanks for bringing this stuff up, its important... Really appreciate all you do.

Three simple steps to keep up to date with your emails:

1) ignore all incomming emails
2) wait until you have at least 1000 unread emails
3) select "mark all as read"

Please follow my newletter for more tips!

That said the fact you are no longer a newbie is a testimant to those distros being good newbie distros... they did exactly what they should, give you a workable desktop and give you the chance to learn as you go.

@cunningstuff Yea those distros, as well as ubuntu and debian I'd say are all entry level distros... great place for a new linux convert to start.

@cunningstuff Debian and Ubuntu is going to be the easiest of the distros... Arch is one step more advanced, and its a noticable learning curve leap (but teaches you alot)... NixOS is a rather huge leap in learning curve over that, but also equally worth it.

@cunningstuff

NixOS has a fairly large learning curve... So that alone its not for everyone. But it is absolutely worth that effort.

That said if you want a more traditional distro that is still well done Arch is not a bad choice.

Im increasingly wondering, would I be aware of all the political view that could possibly exist, if birdsite wasnt adamant about shoving the worst of the far left or right in my face?

I really dont think about politics that much, as Im an artist and musician. Maybe an Neurosymbolic dev.
