The people who want to dehumanize others en masse are almost always fucked up weirdos, themselves. In a way it's not even ironic, just an incredibly predictable trope / individual personality tragedy.
Like over half of autism "advocacy" out there is just affirmation for the self-deluded parents of autistic kids who secretly think it's their fault that their kid is autistic (Even though it's not) and so need to externalize blame elsewhere. Autism advocacy is a minefield because of these people.
Oh yeah sorry I didn't mean for it to sound like I was contradicting you, I just love my EndeavourOS install so much I couldn't help but chirp up! I would not recommend any arch to a new user, including EndeavourOS.
The devs of the OS spell it Endeavour. It's one of those words that's spelled slightly different in various parts of the English-speaking sphere. As it functions as a name here, I have no problem spelling it their way when referring to the OS.
It's not hard if you're into doing Linuxy stuff. A lot of new users are not, or find diving in too fast intimidating. Like it or not Arch is definitely in the deep end of the Linux pool.
The EndeavourOS forums are also a really good help source if you wanna ditch the LLM, users there are pretty friendly and it's probably where it sources most of it's relevant info anyway.
My gaming PC has been running EndeavourOS for about a year now. First ever time running any spin of arch and it's been a stellar expirience. You can pry this desktop from my cold dead hands, I love it.
I recommended Mint to my partner and she wasn't too enthusiastic about it after trying, I have Ubuntu on one of my laptops where she has a guest account and she actually prefers it even after hours of use so her new laptop is getting 24.04. I did do the diligence of explaining that Ubuntu is to Canonical as Firefox is to Mozilla, and why some Linux heads aren't a fan.
Right, it's akin to saying he stole that money from Adobe the same way the media companies imply that poor people making digital copies of music and movies they wouldn't be able to afford otherwise is theft.
Honestly I'm fairly certain they infight even harder than the left does. They just wouldn't self-critically admit to it like we would. Cause they don't self-crit.
Are we talking about actual leftist infighting, or mistaking liberals for the left and calling it infighting?
Also I'm almost certain that the actual left infights far less than the right. The only reason two Trump administrations hasn't started the literal fourth reich yet is because they infight so hard that they can't stick to any plan.
It's very nearly a synonym for value extraction. I guess specifically it refers to the consequences of value extraction on the web, but really I think Doctorow's whole goal with that campaign was to make people aware of how awful venture capital and value extraction really are for us. I'm less concerned with preserving a canonical definition of enshittification as I am getting people aware of the consequences of capitalist financialization. As a well-published author himself, I'm sure Doctorow is well prepared for figurative death of the author :P
It's really five regular roundabouts circling one central roundabout.
