  • I mostly just pretend that thing's can get better, if I just communism hard enough. Also sex and drugs.

  • For the second question, the Arch Wiki has loads of helpful information. It doesn't just talk about Arch stuff though, it goes over a bunch of programs and configurations.

  • Me too! I selfhost searx (not publicly available, though some friends can access it). I sometimes end up having to use DDG though.

  • I'd like to think that's just because so many english speaking leftists use a non-google search engine.

  • Took a look at their voting record on wikipedia, and the advancement is impressive. Good luck!

  • The NSA said this? Looks like it's just going to be assembly for me from here on out. /s, ofc

  • Kinda just ideological commitment. I sorta just started using Linux right off the bat, the only time I wasn't a Linux user was way back when I was using the family Mac. Linux has gone quite far over the years, in quite a positive way.

  • Emacs or Neovim could also serve to replace Word, depending on what you need it for.

  • If you really want word, you could try Microsoft 365, where its in your browser instead of a thing you download.

  • CoreCTRL, but written in Rust? Based. I'll try it out when I have the time.

  • Arch, becaus AUR and rolling. Alpine, because lightweight. opensuse tumbleweed, because rolling and SUSE does cool stuff. NixOS because declarative. Guix, because declarative and bootstrapping.

    Those are just the distros I use, I'm sure others are nice too.

  • talk of political organization outside of violent revolution is frowned on

    Then why do so many people talk about how they are voting for

    ? Admittedly that's mostly on Hexbear, but if anything I think we have too much electoralism and too many
    s.

  • China's foreign policy hasn't really been the best. They mostly avoid doing anything super cool outside their country.

  • Iosevka, 100%. I've tried out a few others, but I keep returning.

  • All of them, basically. Arguing with people on Discord got pretty wild sometimes, and one of them straight up pulled up https://slurs.info and tried to use as many as he could. I suppose trying to argue with those people was a mistake, but I didn't get doxxed so all's well that ends well.

    In person? Most of the homophobic or transphobic ones, though I don't think most of them were personally directed at me. K*ke (I'm not Jewish) and n-word lover are also pretty bad.

  • here /s

    For international stuff I mostly follow the BBC and Al Jazeera. More locally there are a few pretty cool news sources in my area.

  • Use it to install gentoo or Linux From Scratch

  • It's more similar to not believing Goebbels radio broadcasts about the USSR. We don't distrust NED, the CIA, or the State Department just because they did something bad once, but because it is both a consistent pattern of spreading misinformation and because it is their stated purpose to rile up dissident groups in US opposed countries.

  • "A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA" - then NED president Allen Weinstein
    NED's President Carl Gershman said that the NED was created because "It would be terrible for democratic groups around the world to be seen as subsidized by the CIA."

    It's literally a group that does CIA stuff, without using the CIA name.
