  • In traditional agriculture, you just feed, house and care for an animal, and when its young stops drinking milk, you keep milking the mother so it doesn't stop making milk.
    I can't see any suffering in that.
    Industrialized milk production is a complete perversion of that. It's what happens when you take a symbiotic relationship and add Capitalism.

  • Well yeah that's your brain that's used to the Internet. One newspaper and maybe a weekly journal with Op-Eds and background reports is enough to stay informed.
    You don't need to read every article from every point of view.

  • Same here.
    Fun fact: I was recently forced to find a new apartment.
    Instead of throwing myself into the grinder that is the online rent market, I posted an ad in the local newspaper (it cost 36€).
    Several landlords answered and basically told me they don't like to look for renters online either.
    After all, most landlords are senior citizens.
    The apartment I found through the newspaper was much better and cheaper than anything available online.
    So the way I see it, the newspaper subscription saved me around 200-300€/month for the foreseeable future.

  • It can't. I use a very simple script to combine updates and the basics of system maintenance:

     
        
    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    systemctl --failed -q
    yay -Pw
    sudo pacman -Syu
    flatpak update
    flatpak uninstall --unused
    pacman -Qqnte > ~/.local/share/applications/pkglist.txt
    pacman -Qqdtt > ~/.local/share/applications/optdeplist.txt
    pacman -Qqem > ~/.local/share/applications/foreignpkglist.txt
    pacman -Qtd
    pacman -Qm | grep -v yay-bin
    sudo find /etc -name *.pac*
    yay -Ps | grep Cache
    
      
  • Is it 32bit or 64bit?
    If it's 64bit, with at least 4GB of RAM and an SSD, you can pick whatever you want.
    I'm a fan of Linux Mint Debian Edition for beginners.
    If it's 32bit, MX Linux is probably your best bet.

  • That's actually one of the reasons I switched from Debian to Arch.
    Dependency resolution shouldn't differ based on which front-end you use.
    Debian has dpkg, aptitude, apt-get, apt, synaptic, the Software Center...
    Fedora has rpm, dnf, yum. SUSE adds a couple more. I don't get it.
    A linux distro should have one package manager, doing different stuff with it should be done via different commands/options inside it.
