  • I never see Fedora recommended enough, but it's really good for beginners. And by that I mean people new to computers, not just Linux. GNOME is a good looking by default, intuitive to use, simple DE.

  • What counts as 'black'? Perhaps people from minority groups shouldn't be excluded from regular history, so every group doesn't need its own history month - it's just history.

  • I don't use a VPN, and haven't got a letter from my ISP in all the years I've been pirating.

  • This definitely happened ❤️❤️❤️

  • You can only know that at the present moment a doubting being exists. Anything else is just empirical, and therefore not true knowledge.

    • There is a big difference in killing a child who already exists, as opposed to opting to not create a new child
    • Cars are also harmful for the planet, and are the cause of many deaths, public transport is a far better system
    • Bringing new life into the world, which we know is full of suffering is unethical according to many people
    • We have far too many people in the world already. The more people there are, the less say each individual has in affecting their government and country
    • Women's role in society is not determined, solely or otherwise, through how many children they have. Neither are men's or nonbinary people's
    • Some women are biologically incapable of having children
    • I just skimmed your comment, you wrote far too much for me to read in depth
  • They could theoretically implement this because of unencrypted domain names and ISP blocks, but if they actually tried this, that DNS over HTTPS thing Mozilla was working on - I'm sure it would get a lot more attention, be rolled out very soon, and disable ISPs being able to see or control which domains you were accessing.

  • Calm down Satan

  • You think they don't have backups?

  • Flatpaks let me isolate app files and disable permissions, RPMs give me greater access to the system files.

  • Please don't. I like having options, sometimes RPMs are useful, sometimes Flatpaks are useful. Let me choose.

  • Titanic for sure, there is almost nothing wrong with it. Most movies are pretty bad in my experience, with the runtime of TV shows allowing them to be better. Back To The Future is okay though. Maybe one of the Futurama movies? That's kind of cheating though, as it built on a TV Show

  • Whenever I look at anything I wrote more than a year ago I cringe at myself.

  • Try talking to them first, asking questions and getting them to evaluate their own beliefs. Many people are indoctrinated and manipulated into a system that they haven't really considered and would be better of rejecting. In that case, non-combatitive conversation can go a long way to enact actual positive change, rather than just virtue signaling to people who already agree with you.

    If they're not receptive to that, and still causing harm, it's necessary to stop them via any means necessary. But still, try to avoid harming them as much as possible. As Milgram's experiments demonstrated, most people can do horrific things when a trusted authority figure tells them to. Remember, they are still people, and sometimes people are influenced to do bad things.

  • You can't seriously mean that. There's good stuff happening all the time, the lockdowns in COVID (even if the MPs were hypocrites, the legislation itself was good), adding LGBT+ awareness to PSHE for all state schools, pledging even more money to the NHS, free school meals, the ULEZ Zone.

    Just because there's also plenty of bad stuff, and lots of progress to still be made, doesn't mean they don't do anything good.

  • The corporations should just be taxed twice as heavily on it, reducing tax isn't the answer to prevent corporations buying up the farms. As they don't die, corporations should just have to pay 'inheritance' tax every 50 years.

  • I've never understood that either. I've usually hated when I'm perceived as a man.

  • Elon Musk was always an asshole billionaire, he's not significantly worse now he's taken of the mask
