I was on Arch for two years, then on nix for another two (to be fair, now I can say I liked Arch better). After that I recently went back to fedora (which I used before I switched to arch), because I decided that if any problems show up on my pc I want it to be 99% not my fault. I basically learned to value stability over versitality, even though that's kind of the opposite of why I started using linux in the first place lol
On the issue of the senate here I present my opinions nobody asked for: I live in a country with a unicameral parlaiment with both party list and local representatives serving in it and boy it has it's problems too. To be fair they are caused by shitty election laws and I'm fairly certain most of the USA's problems are a result of that too. The two party system is way more harmful than the senate in my opinion and while every state getting two senators sounds stupid I do see it's advantages.
For one it does not guarantee a good system but it does guarantee a stable one. Obviously the people who came up with it thought their system was pretty good so it made sense to make it hard to temper with. Then people figured out the system wasn't as good as they initially thought and turns out you can change stuff if enough people around the country agree.
In my country it's election (for everyone in the parliament) every four years, whoever wins probably gets to rewrite the constitution if they are into that and the other half of the country goes to the streets for like two days before realizing they will just do it back all in four years.
If I had to summarize I think the senate good be a good system. It isn't but it could be.
So yeah I do envy that kind of system even if just a bit (well the fact that more than one person here seems to think things would be better if their system was more like someone else's seems to indicate the system itself may be irrelevant), but this may not be my best take ever, given it's 4 AM when I'm writing this lol
I don't know... I've always found Kaczinsky an interesting guy, but now that I'm around halfway through his book, I find his arguements surprisingly weak as in he doesn't really put a lot of effort into justifying the basics. He just goes on to say "yeah obfuscating the process of survival is bad" and sure I can see how some people might find hunting rabbits with bows more fulfilling than looking at Excel all day but if you don't accept that immediately then his arguements become pretty weak.
Some say we live in a post-truth world. I say we live in a post-realism world. It's not that objective reality vanished once this massive scale in ideological separation happened, it's just that people stopped giving a fuck once it happened. Objective truth didn't vanish though, most people just live without letting it inconvinience them.
I find it so incredibly funny that the graph is basically "Yeah all opinions different from mine are pure evil, while mine is well-learned and righteous as always."
yeah it only becomes a problem when every company realizes they can do this at the same time and so being honest in an interview isn't an edge anymore, since no one is doing it
There is no such thing as a banana seed. All banana types are singular lineages of clones. All bananas of a certain type (currently cavendish is the one exported to all around the world) are the same genetically, that's why they are so susceptible to colony-destroying fungal infections.
edit: i meant commercial banana types, as we were talking about the preservation of those.

Sure it's happening and it's very ironic, but I feel like this meme is blaming the poor on some level.
"Equating the tools and processes with the people" is such a good way of putting it that I gotta remember to remember it.

Not even an attempt at nuance.

This post simultaneously speaks derangement and Lovecraftian horror.
It looks cool but I don't really get what it's for. Someone explain?
