Nitrux is the only thing keeping me sane in this world and I’m still here waiting for my return and the next time I’ll be able to buy the new one

Tattooed on the lower back to be more specific

It’s funny that I am rewatching the series right now. Thankfully it is still as good as I remember it

I don’t really care about the real init war, but I like this conic version!

And with the countless different distributions, its a polytheistic one.

I get what you mean, but the way you worded it makes it seem like you experienced dependency hell for 20 out of 25 years…

That one is my side OS 😆 . My main is Nitrux.

My distro didn’t make the cut. That meme is just the tip of the iceberg…

If you want to try some niche music service there is resonate.coop which encourages exploration by making it cheap to listen to a song once. However, if you like the song and keep going back to it it will be considered “purchased” and you will no longer be charged when you listen to it. Last I checked there was no offline mode for purchased songs but they were working on it.

I relate to this all too much

Welcome back to Linux!

Like…totally man…

Everyone sort of enforces the rules as they see fit now. The difference is there is an expectation to not resist when someone is abusing their power because they are an authority figure. Under anarchism, it is your peers holding each other accountable, and your right to question actions against you is accepted.

But that is sort of why it’s the first step. You were using Windows and were bothered with ads. So you may have looked into an alternative you heard about called Linux. You are new to Linux and maybe ask some questions on forums and interact with people from all over the world that are taking time out of their day to help you, which gives you a sense of community. Then you learn that Linux is licensed as Open Source Software, and that people are working together to create something for the benefit of people, not for profits. Then you start to wonder, what else in my life that bothers me is a result of profit motivation?

This is true and sort of adds to my point. If I am going to risk being oppressed oppressed anyways, I might as well risk it for a system that, if done halfway decent, can lead to more fair distribution of resources. Currently a lot of wealth is being funneled into the hands of a few.

I don’t stop with authoritarianism as the only measure of people being oppressed. There are a ton of ways USA citizens are being oppressed. We just vote for who our oppressors are.

“Dictatorships are inherently unstable: you can slaughter, imprison, and brainwash entire generations and their children will invent the struggle for freedom anew. But promise every man a chance to impose the will of the majority upon his fellows, and you can get them all together behind a system that pits them against each other.” Source

The problem with this argument is that the risk for someone taking advantage of the situation to accumulate power is the same under any system. I would rather take that risk for an economic system that aims to treat everyone more fairly than for one that, by design, sends wealth up to a select few who hoard it.

Don’t forget its not just man-hours, but man-lives too

I’m down for it

That looks.pretty cool!
