Lichess is mentioned in the left column but not in its own, funnily enough.

Eh, it does happen from time to time tbh

Two things can be true at the same time.

Rationally I agree, but at the same time I actually really like the passport booklet. I don’t know, it feels so much more official.

Right, I must’ve overlooked that. My bad.

You can easily use it with Nextcloud, to name one example. So yeah, it’s a good suggestion.

The Waterlilies on display at the Orangerie is one of the best art installations I’ve ever seen.

Clearly not the point of OP’s question though

Deal

+1 for starting out with Proxmox! I’m about to switch my main server over to it, and I wish I started out using it. I’ve played around with it for a while on a second server, and being able to use snapshots and Proxmox backups from the start would’ve saved me so much time.

And it won’t ever be true until you can pick up a PC running Linux in a big box store. I could see the Steam Deck (and Valve’s rumoured upcoming console) to make a dent in the PC gaming space, but it won’t make a difference to the purchasing decisions of your your aunt who uses her pc to check her emails.

Should corporate buyers ever get tired of MS’ shenanigans they might switch over to Ubuntu, but I’m not holding my breath for that.

Both Lenin and Castro were obviously better than the regimes that came before them.

That’s what the revolution will not be televised has always meant though

They advertise aggressively because running a VPN is ridiculously profitable. I do agree with your apprehensive feeling, but at the same time their advertisements do make sense.

No, the US supports Israel because it’s in the interest of their own capital class, which is also why the Brits supported the creation of Israel in the first place.

The idea that the US supports Israel because of Israeli leverage also sounds quite a bit like antisemitic conspiracy theories, and I’m surprised people throw it around willy-nilly.

Honestly very disappointed in the comments here. There’s a valid point to what he’s saying, and the “have you met people?” line of thinking just talks right past that.

How does an AI provide you genuine partnership? The kind that allows you to grow, enriches your life and makes you happier in the long term, I mean.

To be clear, I called that dude a conservative because of his username combined with his comment.

Leaving that aside, our patriarchal capitalist society (yeah yeah, buzzwords, I know) is very good as misdirecting frustration to mask the underlying dynamics; a lot of people, both men and women, are increasingly lonely because of societal problems. Decreased social cohesion because of different urban planning and the focus on the nuclear family for example, both of which are directly tied to capitalist ideology.

If you then get frustrated and blame that on feminism, that’s textbook conservative thought. A lot of people are misled into thinking these things (because misdirection of frustration is crucial to capitalism), even people who mostly aren’t conservative themselves. That’s just a product of the ubiquity of conservative thought.

Either way, I hope you can help your friend to escape that way of thinking. It’d be better for everyone.

…I swear these takes mainly reveal the fact that conservatives like you just see women as objects and that you don’t care about genuine partnership.
