From Amazon, og as far as can tell.

I think you need to revisit a modern Debian 13.x distro. From install to hardware support with effortless kde plasma and a stable software level easily extensible with flatpak, it’s what Ubuntu was 10 years ago.

Anyone who says to avoid it today, especially with the AI and rocm/cuda apt packages that just work out of the box, I’m convinced haven’t considered it from an eager beginner perspective in recent form.

Get yourself the cheapest n150 box you can, the 4 port versions are good im case you decise to upgade and convert it to a fw later. Get a 4tb 2.5 ssd if you afford it and a chewp dual or more jbod external for safe backups.

Every year upgrade and stick to proxmox and opnsnese untill/unless you have reason otherwise.

That we don’t afford consumers luxuries to lure them in, they need to fill their own neighborhoods. If no one wsnts to work there, maybe they need more lucrative and exciting work.

I just hate how he promotes “affordable” housing and does nothing to advocate work from home. Every affordable unit is booked 10yrs in advance while developers build 150 condos and have 10 affordable. Literally tricky dickle down economics.

I think the difference is in the breadth of control they can exert. US buying 10% stake in Intel, bailing out auto manufacturers, giving tax incentives to expedite select industries, etc… are very similar to Chinese state control, but not identical.

Fair assessment that’s it’s not a true communism, but it mimics the aftermath of a failed communism which is seen over and over, hence the reference.

Maybe add value to a conversation instead of arrogantly thumping your chest like you know everything?

Don’t discount the internet coming into existence and more and more social isolation in developed nations.

The first case of lung cancer was (insert year), cigarettes weren’t introduced until (later year).

I’m not claiming Tylenol causes autism, but your logic isn’t disproving either.

China has a state controlled economy. No business persists unless allowed. That’s closer to a communist setup than a free market.

It also removes incentive to invest in research, so you need a balance. In communism, that’s not as big a problem.

Don’t forget the stockpiles of cash by not fairly paying their labor. The PRC has been playing the long game.

Let’s use a school bully allegory to see how bad it is.

Big Bully has been stealing lunches and sitting on Little Billy since Big Bully moved into town. Little Billy kicks his shin and steals a nickel and hides it. Big Bully retaliates by pulling off Little Billy’s fingernail and promises to stop if he gets his nickel back. Little Billy complies; Big Bully continues pulling the next fingernail.

All of the teachers are watching horrified, but the superintended is Big Bully’s parent.

You can already see the hallmark signs of a state funded media campaign to undermine any and all claims that the ceasefire has been broken and continues to be so.

They’re using the fact that people are tired of seeing and reading about horrible things knowing they have no control over it. As a result, the public are now personally invested (mental wellbeing) into the ceasefire being real. Even if the bombing campaign and conditions are nearly identical to pre-“ceasefire” levels, the general public is exhausted and takes the (still propagandized) media’s coverage as truth.

RIP, his stream was always so easy to watch because of how good natured he was. Kramnik is a scumbag.

You’re the one bringing up eugenics buddy. Reading comprehension: the long lost art.

I’m starting to believe natural selection didn’t just get us to where we are, it kept us here.

The genetic variation in the human brain will lead to more and more good and bad variations generation after generation. Stupidity used to have deadly consequences, now it’s just poverty (or the White House).

Our society wants to be inclusive and accepting and liberating and safe, but what if that just doesn’t work with our current make? What if these mild deviations and mutations only progress forwards when the weak traits perish? We don’t have that mechanism anymore so weak and dangerous personality traits persist and continue to vote.

It’s a scary thought, but I can’t see anything wrong with the logic, especially observing how it’s taking hold across the globe.

“Gen Z” didn’t topple anything. This is coordinated by big money.
