I'll tell you, nothing bricks as hard or as irreparably as Windows. I have never had to actually reinstall Linux due to some problem (though it's a good practice security-wise).
Yes, that. Always be conscious of what impression some information is giving you, and analyze whether your reaction is based on a full view of the situation, or if it's just the reaction that the information was shown to you in order to provoke. Because that is precisely the level propaganda operates at. The "they spent years carefully calculating a takeover" narrative is not compatible with the "toddler throwing a tantrum" narrative. Either one, or neither, must be true.
The abyss in the enforcement of international law, and the absence of any conscience, gives rise to the "just one more chip" approach to land seizure. The settlers also largely have an insane sense of entitlement to the land based on their religious mindset.

Anyone else see the Chinese movie "To Live"? The same basic thing happened, but in the context of a criticism of Maoism - guy's daughter is speech impaired and they take her to the hospital to give birth, but the medical students have denounced the older doctors, and botch the delivery, so they have to fetch one out of imprisonment. Ironic that we see the same thing play out under Trump/Musk, isn't it.
Doesn't that work with just a big USB stick? I've definitely plopped a Linux HD in a new computer and had it work with almost no changes (fstab and maybe adding graphics card support).
Circulating Teslas is 29999 vs 30000. If there's 30k worth of demand, they'll make a new one. Oversimplification but that's the idea. "Raising more awareness", I mean... maybe? Actually, probably, if it was really a huge spectacle.
Financially, this doesn't make sense. Decreasing supply without changing demand means more money goes to Musk/Tesla. Same principle as a stock selloff.
No, I'm talking about the electorate. As for the issues where the politicians have a bipartisan consensus, usually that's when the electorate starts making doublethink-style excuses to find a difference where there isn't one.
Probably takes a whopping 5-10 developers to set up the systems in question from scratch with FOSS. "From scratch" as in, not accounting for whatever insane backwards compatibility requirements exist, though that's not some impassable obstacle either.
I'd say, of the ruling class. Said fascist movement being basically a stage production of their creation. Said neutered opposition (Democrats) likewise being a stage production of their creation.
People often disagree with this framing, but honestly, spend a few years comparing viewing events through this lens vs through the D vs R lens. Things will make a lot more sense.
Americans are ruled by a politics of opposition. Anything Trump does, the opposite must be good. Anything Biden does, the opposite must be good. Nobody thinks about anything from scratch.
"Democrat" refers ambiguously to both the politician and party elite, and the general electorate that associates themselves with that organization. The latter is, in the majority, "against it" in the sense of responding to a survey question that they don't like it, but not nearly enough to actually do anything about it.
MAGAs have no reason. "Trump said so." Probably nuked because it became a nuisance for credit card companies and banks due to enforcing rules against overdraft fees and deceptive lending practices. On the flip side, it's yet another trade regulating agency with an overlapping mandate on a hundred different industries, meaning any company in those industries has to comply with every one of those agencies' interpretation of the law. Speaking from experience here, that is a headache even to people with good intentions.
How's enabling genocide working out for you? The world is collapsing.
This hideous reality was here before I was born. God knows what will happen to it in my lifetime, but if it goes away, it will be because of the solidarity of the people, not because of cowards continuing to rubber-stamp every crime against humanity the system wants to commit.
I've gotten pretty far in using it, great tool with plugin integrations.
