WÜNSCHE ich mir, meiner Familie oder Freunden das zu erleben? Nein, aber evtl. ist so etwas langfristig die bessere Variante.

Wer weiß? Vielleicht muss halt erstmal alles RICHTIG den Bach runter gehen damit was neues, besseres entsteht.

Wenn ein Staat oder ein System die Mehrheit der Menschen nicht davon überzeugen kann für ihn zu kämpfen dann hat der Staat ganz einfach seine Legitimation verloren und wird untergehen, so einfach ist das.

First: It’s funny, because it is happening to Russians

Second: It’s fucking scary, because it can happen everywhere. Fuck cars that rely on digital services.

Honestly? Do you want the “real experience”?

Set up a VM (or a spare computer) and start an Arch install following the various tutorials.

Why?

Well, Arch may not be the best daily driveable distribution if you want just an uncomplicated experience, but setting it up from the bare bones boot medium and slowly following the (very well written) instructions in the wiki it will give you a solid foundaition going forward and UNDERSTANDING what you are doing.

Also - while not explicitly Linux and quiet a bit dated - i HIGHLY recommend to read The UNIX Programming Environment, written by the guys who are responsible for this branch of the OS evolution in the first place. It is a nice read to understand why - to this day - some things are the way they are to this day.

You really don’t see it, right? This whole “Oh my god, he is a fash!” talk has to be a godsend for big tech and the corpos as a whole. Instead of cooperating - even with people who might hate your guts in another setting, and fighting THE MAN - you rather opt for infighting and purity testing. If you would think about it - just for a minute - you would discover that you have more in common with an ultra conservative, confederate flag waving redneck than with the “nice, diverse, clean and woke” corporations and organisations who are removing freedom from us all, cut by cut, slice by slice…

God is that a retarded take… “fashtech”… i cannot stop shaking my head

I, personally, think Omarchy is the best “easier to install Arch” out there - you can hand out a flashdrive to anyone with at least the most basic IT-knowledge and they would get a working, useable and upgradeable system within ~20 minutes.

Didn’t you get the message? The rules based world order is out of the window, now we are back to might makes right.

This is the point. About twenty years ago when I first met this guy I thought I HAD to convince him to upgrade to something more modern because, well, “new is better” I guess. Luckily he declined my offers and stayed with this system.

Now, this man is for me what would call a living legend. He bought this system when the PET was brand new, state of the art tech and was perhaps the first veterinarian in a radius of 100 km with a computer. From this point on he wrote himself tons of software for his personal use, modified this software for changing circumstances (and still does so!) and kept this system running.

THAT is permacomputing!

Honestly, the very best i got from a client of mine, a veterinarian who is about 80, he runs his whole Praxis on a Commodore PET (i mean, its a natural choice for a veterinarian), which he bought somewhere around the time i was born. His reason: “I don’t need no Windows, i need no Linux or anything other than the computer i am accustomed to. It does what i need and it will do so till the day i die”.

USA = Legal Modern Mafia.

Every empire that has existed in the known history has been…

Shamelessly promoting the instance which is run by a buddy of mine:

Well, if China invades Taiwan everything in the region (at least) is going to hell one way or the other and everybody knows this. So, i think this threat is a somewhat unneeded publicity stunt.
