  • Case in point, men and women are almost 50/50 in STEM careers around Eastern Europe due to the USSRs policies pushing more women into these careers.

    People don’t realise that these norms they hold as dogma are so short-lived and subject to change that opposition only shows them unable to comprehend history past their lived experience.

    It’s ashame they have to drag us down with them.






  • There has to be someone without to create the demand for capitalism to work, I totally support what you’re saying and in a perfect world those people wouldn’t suffer but there is still an imbalance of power between capitalists and workers and that tension means both sides have to be perpetually hyper vigilant in protecting their own interests against each other.

    Mind you, I don’t think communism is a good system either; humanity should be considering new forms of governance given our technological advancements have solved a lot of problems that these systems initially intended to.

    Anyway that’s my perspective, appreciate you asking for an elaboration hopefully it’s some food for thought even if you don’t agree with me.

    Huh TIL, had a look through my system and it sits at about ~5GB not including disk cache. Been on Fedora KDE since 39 and have put it through its paces so I’m pretty happy with that

    I would’ve reformatted windows twice in that time because of bloat accumulation, and like you said there’s always room for improvement with hyper minimalist packages.

    God I love Linux.









  • Cigarettes have a myriad of carcinogens like toluene, benzene, formadelhyde, hexamine, napthaline and acetone

    Stating that vapes are more toxic than cigarettes over one metric is disingenuous journalism.

    I’m not disagreeing about the lead content but studies like this get picked up by journalists with the comprehension of a tomato and are then misconstrued into these fear-creating headlines for engagement.

    The adoption of vapes tremendously ate into the big tobacco profits, its an extremely effective way of getting off cigarettes. (for better or worse)

    If we instead listened to these studies and developed a similar form of nicotine replacement therapy with harm minimisation in mind under industry regulation we’d do far more for smokers, vapers and our healthcare systems than any fear mongering ‘don’t do it!’ campaigns which time and time again do not work.
