Installed an SSD and Linux Mint XFCE in a old notebook (2012) with 4GB of RAM and works like a charm

Socialism really would never work without repression, they would need to take from the most rich and might need force, so people will not accept the new system might cause real problems, so it will need more repression

This why big revolutions always end up with repressive regimes, even the French Revolution (that was not socialist at all)

And when you have an authoritarian regime in power they will want to remain in power, the original goals of the revolution will be lost and the new regime always think about itself first. So you can’t control what this regime will find acceptable or not.

The democracy needs concessions, needs to accept in parts the other side, this why Nordic countries have a better social equality and a very capitalist oil extraction

It’s Dune. Great book but original movie needed improvement

What if we had a candidate that is not on his 80s, maybe?

This “Bernie” mentality elected Trump twice already.

She is right it’s not the title important and right now Dems needs someone that would unify the party. Trump won not because he had much more votes than 2020, but because Harris had 6 million votes less than 2020

I am already seeing a lot of Dems saying again they will not vote by X or Y… MAGA is voting doesn’t matter what

So the party will need someone that unifies more the party… but it seems unlikely

It looks like tor “protect the kids” everything is allowed

Looks like it was never about “protect the children”

I do the investe with games. I never play a free to play game that costs much more than a full-price game

I would think would be wrong to go against the constitution and first amendment… no freedom of speech anymore?

First amendment is very clear you cannot make any law that would limit speech

Why I am learning this form Lemmy and nowhere else

And where are democrats screenings and making this a big deal?

People need to look Hungary and understand to protect democracy everyone need to have a united front, even if it’s not the perfect candidate only with everyone using their right to vote, they can make their voice to be heard

Michel Jackson allegation never been proven and most likely people thar said such allegation for money for it from tv producers.

I am really not convinced he abused children and it was never proven

Microsoft making win 10 free, get money from windows users with services and OEM, so forcing people newer computers makes OEM licenses to be sold …

I worked for Microsoft years ago. Nandella early years were great, quality was part of the process, engineer on automation like me had a great time.

Then he lost his kid and he returned something changed, managers were much less flexible, they started to fire people and luckily I was able to change jobs before they start the annual layoffs.

Instead of giving raises they prefer to cut 10% every year and hire cheaper… my friends that remained say the morale is very low

And this change things, when you like the place you work, you work the extra mile, when you are afraid of being layoff you just fake you’re doing more, you try to pull the rug of others instead of collaborate, ambient gets toxic and quality and true innovation suffers.

But for this you can get a Mac, and would be better than Linux. I do use macOS for work but my personal computer even for gaming is using Mint.

But you know Kamala Harris was bad for Gaza. Lefties that refused to vote are getting what they asked for

Linux is easier than ever to adop, distros like Mint just works out of the box, gaming with on Linux with proton and newer Wine much easier now…

Macs are cheaper than ever with MacBook Neo, if you want something that would just works out of the box.

So people have options and they need to realize there is tons of options for every need.

Still much better than what is going on right now

This. They will find any tiny problem if you’re against them… it will get worse when they decide people born from immigrant families are not American anymore. So they can go back generations

I guess the round and rounds of layoffs are really not working for general morale and this reflects on their products
