  • He and allies like Elon Musk argue left-wing governments use the legal system to silence opponents

    That is a fine mental gymnastic there.

    I hope I’m not erring on the side of over-simplifying reality to make it abide to my limited mental capabilities to comprehend it, but more likely it is them, “He and allies like Elon Musk”, who by doing what they normally do are using the legal system to silence themselves.

    Mind I’m not defending the free-guns-for-all policy so dear to a sadly large part of americans, I’m just saying that the tool is not the real issue, that one would be the finality of the action and the fecklessness, the morbidly carelessness and yet horrible thoroughness, attached to the though of ending or seriously harming another person. That one is a cultural problem, and very deep.

    Sure guns were instrumental to spread and nourishing such culture, but if it wasn’t the gun then the will to kill would have been manifested through the next available tool.




  • For a beginner, Linux Mint is perfect

    Mint for Mint then maybe the Debian Edition (LMDE) instead the the common one based on Ubuntu, which again is Debian just LTS. Also, if OP is tired of Microsoft enshittification imagine him finding out Ubuntu’s company Canonical decided that apt command should sometimes install snap packages instead of deb binaries, because “reasons” (NVM lucky us at Mint there are sane people). Or that it tried to put ads in their OS even before Windows even tried.
