Oh, I agree, nothing wrong with mint. I just like the fact that the LMDE version is Debian based and works with everything I’ve thrown it at.

Figure proof of they ever decide to switch away from Ubuntu and mainline LMDE. Probably won’t happen, but makes me feel better anyway :).

Seconding LMDE. It’s Debian based rather than Ubuntu so no canonical to un-f. It’s my favorite distro. LMDE for desktop, vanilla Debian for servers.

LMDE for future proofing and stability. Sort of a comedy option, but it’s my distro of choice. As easy as Mint, as stable as Debian. I just don’t trust Ubuntu and since it’s a Debian based distro, why not take one more step…

I’m in the same boat. I love that it makes self hosting easier for me. It does what I need and even gives me a small extra measure of security. I admit, I use it because I’m lazy, I could do it without Cloudflare and do for some services. So, I figure if it truly becomes urgent or intolerable I can drop it from the stack.

which is a nonconformist

Thank you for this, it puts it in terms that make a lot of sense. This really helps explain a phenomenon I see so often. I know a few folks who are certainly not pro-trump, but are very anti-political. I’ve been told that I need to shut up, and things would be fine once the next election rolls around.

These folks might not like what’s happening, but they are fine conforming to it.

Maybe it’s a me problem, but I think it’s going to take a little more work than the bare minimum.

The chart has spoken.

I wish more people would see it.

My American GE dishwasher just broke and I ordered a part from their US based site. The 17$ part ships from China, I have no idea what’s going to happen. Guessing I’ll be handwashing dishes from here on.

My wife had cancer young and it caused her to be unable to nurse our children; she just couldn’t produce enough and so we bottle fed our kids. It’s been over 10 years but she still gets shit on for it by certain types (including some in my own family who remind us whenever they get a cold). She is so goddamned, rightfully angry with the types who try to shame people for not breastfeeding.

Those types are in charge of policy right now.

I’ve never thought about it like that but it makes so much sense. The hate in the heart of these people runs incredibly deep, I know because my own family has disowned me because I refused to “take the red pill”.

I am a leader in a youth organization and we have a few autistic kids in our group. They are wonderful kids, and their parents are just amazing with their patience and love for all the kids. I can’t imagine the difficulties they face, but I’m so truly blessed and happy to have these kids in my and my children’s lives. I’ve worked with special needs kids a few times, and the pure joy they are capable of is something that sticks with you.

But I’ve also known a few less involved and less interested parents who denied and refused care for their kids who clearly need help. I can’t say I know the political persuasion of any of these folks, but I’m pretty good at inference…

I’m not religious at all, but seeing these mouthbreathing maga fuckwit’s, slavish fealty to that pedo-protecting rapist criminal, has me reconsidering.

I like ‘sloppers’ as a term for the morons distrubing and consuming the shit that the clankers are excreting.

I have noticed that some of the regular creators I watch seem to look a little AI lately. I honestly have been questioning reality a bit; that’s probably the point.

Lol, I meant Reimann too since he’s German, but mostly because I’m an idiot.

Fucking hilarious that this is party that starts seizing the means of production.

It was never, ever even once about states rights. It was never about fighting communism. It’s all racism, always has been.

My relatives who’ve been screaming about mark of the beast and shit for years sure confuse the hell Out of me when they voice support for this while wearing their maga hats.

Excellent choice, would be amazing, a perfect pick. I’d toss Riemann or Ramanujan into the mix if I could pick anyone and ignore the language barrier.

To be frank, if you put Angela on this list my answer would be her a thousand times over. Shes just so damn engaging, love her content.

Agreed, not the person I respect the most or believe is going to reveal the most truth. But he’s the best one on the list to keep you engaged and entertained for 3 hours.

I was really expecting them to lean into my stupid old joke. I’m a vegetarian once removed, I only eat animals that only eat plants.

Can’t even clear that low bar of creativity.
