BREAKING: Man announces he runs Arch, btw

Yup. The elderly generally do not do well with:

  1. Major surgery
  2. Immunosuppression

And they're asking for repeated episodes of 1 and possibly 75 years of 2. I'd be all for letting them slowly kill themselves this way if it weren't for the fact that every organ they use is an organ that could've been given to someone who actually needs it.

I'm not in the US, but here in the UK I made the switch too.

I went from Windows PC + Windows laptop ~2 years ago to now having a Linux PC (ZorinOS), Samsung tablet and a home server running Proxmox with an Ubuntu VM for Docker.

Never been happier with my setup. The grass truly is greener over here.

Our father... great guy. The best guy really. And he says the same about me. I hear it from people close to him all the time, he says 'Donald Trump, great guy, not like Biden'... And he lives in the sky, can you believe that? Right up there, with the planes... The great American planes.... Boeing. And you know where they're made? I'll tell you where they're not made... China

Or something like that anyway

I'd love to open the news one evening and not feel like we're another step closer to the apocalypse.

Honestly, fuck Trump. Where my Luigis at?

I think both of you are oversimplifying.

Choice and freedom take on an entirely different meaning when you have a state media bombarding you with anti-Ukraine propaganda 24/7. It's easy for us to say from the sidelines that we'd never get swept up in a war against innocents, but probably a lot of the soldiers have been fully indoctrinated with the idea that Ukraine are a threat to their families. Not to mention they probably now have friends and family who have been killed or wounded in this war.

Putin is the real villain here. He not only started the war, he's the one who has kept it going by his refusal to withdraw troops, silenced political opposition, lied to his population, influenced global politics in his favour by buying elections, and used his subjects as fodder in this pointless war.

It's fucking twisted the amount of suffering one thoroughly evil man can cause.
