And I'm old enough to remember when it wasn't so goddamned hot.

I've been on Devuan for several releases. Root on [mirrored] ZFS based on the Debian instructions with some tweaks like writing init scripts, Nvidia driver and CUDA installed from the runfile, X11, KDE, wireplumber, etc etc. My Zen3 MiniPC and Zen+ laptop also, less Nvidia. The laptop is even still on the last version because it just runs a browser and CHIRP.

The best description I've heard is that they want police protection from their slaves, but I don't think that truly captures their full flavor. The description needs to include something about being deluded enough to think they will be in the slave-owning class in the dark future they are happy to help bring about.

You don't like politicians who serve the public and keep promises huh?

Schools across the country used to teach you how to read, write, drive, cook, and even shoot. Yes, in California, too. By the time I got to school we were only shooting arrows, though. I was able to take classes in cooking, woodworking, plastics, and electronics in public school, but you could feel the Reagan pinch for sure. The only instrument my elementary school could offer me was a dented trombone.

Hahajhahahhaahhahahahhahahah

You think leftists don't want to debate you because THEIR ideas don't hold up? Clown shit.

I hope you're wrong because otherwise we're all fucked. Yes, you too, and only a very short time after the rest of us

Systemd doesn't do that, although it causes other problems, like breaking early boot logging when part of its mission was supposed to be fixing logging. It doesn't have significant requirements...

Lolol you think smart people talk to you

Do they not use the same arch?

Sounds like you have that backwards. The bum is ungovernable due to scarcity. It's prosperity that makes people controllable, by giving them something to lose.

What, crypto? Good point, I should call it cryptocurrency to differentiate

Most people's PCs use less than 500W.

Ok, but I'm partially innumerate. I simply can't do longer sums in my head because I can't keep track of the digits. It may be related to my almost total aphantasia. So I'm never going to be able to do that shit rapidly without a calculator.

A far bigger problem is that people don't learn to think critically so they don't ask the necessary questions. It doesn't matter if they could do the math in their head if they don't understand why.

Lolololol as if we were seeing the fruits of anything but the malignant tree of capitalism
