A real alpha would not feel insecure by simply getting hit on by another dude. That's like being religious and losing your mind because someone said something bad about your favorite book. Fucking weak.

Definitely. If it doesn't or if a CLI has to be opened for a single thing, the majority will not use it.

Yep, if it looks slick, works, and comes standard, people will use it. Just like cars for me: I just want to use it, not understand how it works in order to use it.

You don't need a unified version, you need easily accessible linux hardware (desktop, laptop, phone, etc.). People do not give a swimming fuck about which OS they're using. Whatever's on their hardware will become their main OS.

https://puri.sm https://slimbook.es https://system76.com/ https://tuxedocomputers.com , they are all doing a good job of leading the charge and trying to occupy most segments, but what they lack is still QA, ease of use, and most importantly marketing and support from the linux community. They need to dump huge amounts of money into marketing (which they probably don't have) and the linux community should altogether stop buying bullshit pseudo-supported linux laptops from Dell, Lenovo, and HP.

There are linux shops out there. Stop giving your money to other companies and wishing on linux dominance. It's nonsensical.

The problem isn't land, it's not even the ability to build infrastructure to support displacement, it's the will. Many millions of people would rather others come to harm than change a single thing about their environment or habits. Europe has the space and means to allow 500 million to immigrate, but they freak out about a fraction of that coming over under the most heart-, back- and breath-taking conditions. Instead of voting for everything and anything to be done to make a good life possible for refugees and locals alike, they will vote for parties that suggest those less fortunate be shot at the border. And that for even daring to escape their misfortune.

The only thing I'm happy about is that Europeans are starting to experience the inconveniences of climate change. Those minor inconveniences of "oh it's quite hot this summer", "darn, I may not water my garden with drinkable water", or even losing an insured house due to a storm, are forcing some to face the music. We in the west may huff and puff at the big, unstoppable, rolling ball of climate change that is coming towards us, but ultimately, we will have to adapt. No amount of conspiracy theories like "the government is burning down our houses to make smart cities" will protect the feeble-minded from what's coming.

I love that we will have to deal with consequences of our actions. The only way most people change is through crisis, and boy do we have a crisis heading for us.

Way to treat another human like an input to formula. Good job

Absolutely wrong

USAian society has probably told you there is some kind of formula to calculate whether it's alright. Fuck that. Treat her like a human, not some input to a formula. Be decent, communicate, and if she's fine with it and likes you, that's all that matters. Society shouldn't come between you and another human.

Have the baltics started hoarding arms in preparation for a possible invasion?
