i completely switched to Affinity suit some 3 years ago at work. I was so excited when the affinity4linux install script dropped. but performance makes it near useless. slow and stuttering.

here is for hoping gimp and inkscape can one day match.

how is it not a systemic problem if it allows people who does not belong in power to exploit the system and gain power?

like, these fuckers has, since the days of reagan, kept adding holes in the system so they can cheat to win.

patch those holes and they got no chance. start with the EC. then broadcasting. then legal bribery. and we're off to a good start.

i think we are, but the archaic system in place allows the cavemen the same chances as everyone else to compete and thus you have those like Trump getting elected.

the American guy who has been pushing for chat control through Europe so he can get paid destroying all privacy and spying on all European citizens through his Palintir, you mean, and ultimately delivering all power to the US.

it takes a certain kind of evil to literally recreate Sauron's Palintir. What is it Gandalf tells Saruman?, "There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power." He is literally following the script lol.

i mean i did that too. i dated someone filthy rich and it entirely warped my world view for a few years. it was a slow chip at my integrity but when i finally broke off the relationship and looked in from the outside of what i had become. just wow.

and it isn't the money that corrupts. yes its probably part of it. but its the people you associate with while rich. you adopt part of their world view. you get influenced. you learn of the justifications. the whys. the reasons X and Y is done. its the entire fucking package of it that eventually changes you.

i'm glad i had the experience because now i have a fundamentally better understanding of humanity in general and the concept of how "power corrupts" actually looks like on the inside and in myself and how i could easily avoid it had i been able to see my own thoughts and behaviors slowly get corrupted.

and yes my initial thoughts going in was "that's really weird but who am i to judge" until it became the norm.

so if this guy was ever a socialist. its pretty easy to understand what happened. and how it could be switched back.

and even then, unless you unlock it for law enforcements upon request. you will serve lifetime in imprisonment or until you agree to unlock it and whatever if any crime is within the locker to continue imprisonment. so safeguarding data really doesn't matter in the end anyway because any sensitive data kept anywhere will be used against you either by the law or by criminals. which often times seems to be one and the same.
