I have to admit I'm glad that Elon Musk & Donald Trump exist, to balance this crazy world of censorship

Lol, yeah they're totally free speech absolutists and not fascists who attack their political enemies and anyone who doesn't kiss the ring. /s

A funny meme, but sadly real...

No, it's not. The government isn't scared of censoring lawful speech, regardless of how many guns we have. That's a fantasy promoted by gun lovers with a hero complex. Look at how many protests to which they send goon squads. Also, average Americans have no idea what goes on in Europe. Americans are self-centered ignoramuses and think the entire world revolves around them.

So Twitter ( aka X ) bought by Mr. Musk is a relieve. Apparently ( since they clean it ) a space with no, or less censorship Hooray !

You can't possibly be this naive. You're trolling, right? Elon Musk is a Nazi. He routinely silences people he doesn't like, especially anyone of note who calls out his bad behavior.

So, I don't understand , why the fuck, Twitter ban people that use TOR !? If they were really wanted the common good...

Because they're not. They don't give two shits about the public good. Elon bought Twitter to influence elections; it's his personal propaganda machine. I can't believe you are this ignorant...

Any way Twitter is a centralized platform and this is not good ! can't wait to see a real decentralized place, kind like Lemmy, but Lemmy can be bring down too easily ! compare to an .onion

No it can't. Governments around the world would have to take each individual instance down. They can't just ban Lemmy, because it's not a single company.

Also, Mastodon exists. Do some research on the Fediverse.

I don't know the reasoning, but since the uBlue main image is meant to be a sort of base template (iirc), my guess is there was a decision to downstream all of those additions, to allow child distributions to improve the build process and make their own opinionated changes.

You might try asking on the uBlue discord.

Women and BIPOC couldn't possibly be as skilled as white men. No possible way they could pass the same tests and qualify to be astronauts.

Timeline of Project 2025 goals so far. There's plenty of P2025 breakdowns on YouTube, and I recommend checking out at least one.

Generally true when we're talking about capitalism.

That's not necessarily true for FOSS projects, however, since money making isn't necessarily their goal. Linus Torvalds doesn't force you to watch an ad or sell off contributors' data to get the privilege of using the Linux kernel, for example. Bazzite doesn't sell IP addresses of people who download their distro to data aggregators.

However, you should do your homework and check who is in charge of projects like these and note what changes they're bringing.

Sounds good to me. The plutocrats in my country need to be taken down a few notches, and I'm already looking for ways to spend as little as I can in US companies (except local small businesses).

1. It doesn't. I'm with you there.
2. Many countries in Europe have very strong anti-defamation laws, unlike in the US. What you are allowed to say about people is very different from what you are allowed to say about practically anything else. Since OpenAI is in control of the model, it is their responsibility to ensure it doesn't produce results like these.

And as someone who has had the pleasure of visiting the Houston Space Center and been inspired by what humans have achieved, that's a genuine tragedy.

You can write to any folder in /var and /etc (/home is actually a symlink to /var/home).

Bazzite is atomic, and you can't just install whatever you want wherever you want like a traditional distro. It sounds like you're making directories in your home folder, so you should be fine to set everything up there, as long as Lutris knows that's where the wine prefix is and your game knows where to find the mods.

My English teacher used to do variations on this joke.

Sounds like you should run for office.

It's going to have to start at the local level. They're usually the ones that have less budget and less influence to sell, anyway.

They could, and if I was an EU government entity, I would do my homework on what they were offering, even if they were acting 100% in good faith.

However, helping governments get away from the clutches of the likes of Apple and Microsoft seems like a noble goal, and if this idea spurs that change regardless of the adoption of this distro, I think it will have been a net positive.

From the subheading on the ReadMe.

Community-led Proof-of-Concept for a free Operating System for the EU public sector 🇪🇺

So it's made by the EU in the sense that the maintainers are likely citizens of the EU, I guess.

An aunt used to make these lamb cakes for Easter. They always looked fantastic with the frosting and coconut, but they were surprisingly dense, and they tasted like they were made with lamb fat or something instead of butter.

I am food adventurous and will eat just about anything, but inedible doesn't begin to describe these cakes, and she had no clue they were terrible, so she kept making them for years.

Take it up with George Carlin's ghost 😉

Salt Typhoon is still ongoing, as well.

Don't support fascists. Even if you have a VPN.

I don't know what any of that means, either. I think real world increases in performance are something like 10% for general computing, but it's negligible for gaming.

The only thing that's distinctly different from EndeavorOS is they have their own repos for optimized packages and their own helper interface for changing kernels, adding common packages, getting drivers, etc.
