It is the limitation of democracy and why it is the worst (except all the others) - because it allows this.

How to fix this? These would be a good start: don’t polarize the society like this and create us vs. them mentality. In place of power hungry populists have people in charge who want the best for the country. Don’t enable fascists - they never should make it this far. Respect other people. Invest in education so people understand these basics.

And this is not just about US. It’s scary that this is wherr us got because they are such a big player on the world stage

Agreed, Copilot was one of if not the best named AI I think. Why they would want to rebrand it to something so bland so quickly is beyond me

I wish you luck and safety.

Take it up with Winston Churchil - I was just paraphrasing his quote.

The point is democracy is terrible, but we don’t have anything better.

Democracy really is the worst form of government, just not as bad as all the others…

Unfortunately in such polarized times like now, even though majority wants this, the ammount of people for which this is unacceptable is only slightly less than “the majority”. And besides, I believe a big part of “the majority” is just gullible enough to be persuaded they want this while it actually goes against their interests

Pretty sure at this point nothing will

Rationally I know you will smell one another but I still maintain the opinion it will cancel each other out as a joke - to great frustration of my wife

And not a “don’t do this” kind of warning. More of a “this will happen, get ready” kind of warning

Hey, I’ve seen this one

18? I wish. Getting dark at 16-17 here now.

Let me put it this way - I know nothing about programing and was also scared of all the terminal talk and stuff. And I can vouch for Linux Mint.

You know how you sometimes havento use command line in Windows for some issues? That’s pretty much comparable to terminal usage from my layman perspective. I installed Linux Mint on a separate drive and only booted to Windows once or twice since then - it’s been couple of months now

You are in your 20s so you probably won’t have a referrence point but to me it felt like going back to simpler, older Windows version

I just have a soft spot for Warcraft-style orcs. Something about their seemingly brutish nature and deep sense of honor. I also just like their visual style, be it the race, their fashion or architecture.

At least he is honest about their intentions I guess?

Depends on what you are looking for. I think Lemmy works great and I only really go to reddit when a google search leads me there for something. Though I do miss the niche communities and the “there is a subreddit for everything”.

Lemmy is also healthier, I used to just scroll through reddit for literal hours, it’s possible to reach an end of sort for the time.

Definitely feels more like reddit used to feel - though with caveats.

This is great, thanks for that link!

Nothing in Slovak either. Slavs got srewed.

I never could remember until I was well in my 20s nd heard the righty tighty thing in HIMYM of all places

I heard there were issues with those, but not sure on the specifics

I never used linux and was surprised how easy and almost seamless the transiton was.

What are the issues? Genuine question.
