California is an absolutely beautiful state. Its natural beauty and geography are spectacular.

But it's crazy expensive, Californians are annoying and elitist, and has big social problems in its cities.

I'd use a mainstream distro. I came to Linux in 2017, used Ubuntu for 4 years until I got tired of them forcing snaps down my throat, and then went to Arch. I have never distro-hopped, but I also have never had any huge issues with the mainstream distros.

The main distros really are well maintained and do tend to "just work". Dare I say, especially Ubuntu.

Yes. It's actually rather tragic I strive to run my business NOT using big tech. But we need an app for our users. On Apple this means you simply MUST pay apple. 100/year is not a lot. I just don't want to give them my business.

If true ew. I actually just recently learned that Windows 11 requires a Microsoft account (you can disable it by going into the registry) but it officially actually requires it. Fuck them.

I feel a little more sympathetic to them for the Nazi stuff than for any current shit they pull.

I have to wonder, had they said no, what the German state would have then done to them. Essentially any state can require a company to produce wartime goods.

So young (to die). I wonder what happened to him.

I think we've lost thr plot a bit. Yes, the US is one of thr only countries without a national ID, but that's sort of beside the point.

Whatever ID you onr is forced to use, national or not,, the issue is the state tyrannically policing teens behavior.

I think IT might not be as easy as you think. Academia is a bit more open.

IT isn't quite high skilled enough to get in. They'd almost certainly need an employer to say they couldn't find a European to do the job, which is exceedingly unlikely.

Yup, outside of the desktop, Linux rules the world.

Absolutely not, nor should they. People who commit homicide are charged with homicide. People who instigate riots and conspiracy are charged with instigating riots and conspiracy.

Oh I disabled that a while ago because their hardware random number generator always returned 0xfffff...

Honesty, hardware random number generation seems sketchy. Something you'd expect government backdoors to be in.

😂😂😂

I agree on principles, but they only want to prevent it outside of Muslim countries' embassies though.

Realpolitik. They probably just want to have good relations with these nations.

I've managed to do it for my personal email and find it very rewarding. Sadly, I could never use it for my business. It's just too risky and there may always be a few delivery problems here and there.

VPS hosting, BTW, not home.

Ew. This sounds like massive public investment in space for massive private profits in space.

Ooh a lot of people here seem very pro-nuclear-power. That's cool!

I earned a lot of money in high school. Now I live in Europe and the culture is very different. That sort of thing isn't done here.

I actually don't know how I feel about it one way or the other. It's different, but I did like actually having a decent amount of cashflow for a teenager.

There are people who claim to be feminists on Twitter calling for genocide against men daily.

Sadly people fall prey to rather ridiculous ideologies including, it seems, this moron at the Trump rally.

Finally some levelheadedness. Wholeheartedly agree. There is much to be done. But elements of the movement have ecome somewhat cultlike unfortunately.

Lawl. There was a point somewhere in that rant. I went to university in the South and I do miss the food on occasion.
