Yeah there 100% is and probably always has been. The yeast strain, the varieties and processing of the barley and hops, the water source, the process etc all make for wildly different products. So a make that has a distinctive and popular beer will absolutely guard the recipe. This was true at least back through the medieval period, and there are some Belgian beers that still have proprietary recipes that are hundreds of years old

Of course. The GUI package manager is the first thing I always show people. I was still just making a joke though

Linux users install chrome now…?

Yeah I think that industrial agriculture is a horrifically destructive activity for the environment and humans, and less tractors and more small scale local sustainable agriculture would be great. The UN agrees with me on that one too BTW.

Well that’s a dumb thing to say. That money was stolen from other people to start with. This is like robin hood, but the rich guy steals from the poor and then gives part of it back to them so he pays less tax, which would have meant he gave more back to them…

This is a friendly reminder that medieval peasants had more freedom of movement, worked significantly less hours/days per year, and had stronger and richer community and family loves than anyone in our advanced modern society.

I do love modern medicine though

You’ve just said the same thing but you don’t understand.

Reducing that job from 18 months to a few weeks frees up workeder for other tasks. That means nobody gets hired to do those other tasks and people who would otherwise have good jobs have nothing.

It also means the people Stoll there can be easily coerced into working for lower wages because there’s a line of people at the door who will happily work for less since they’re currently unemployed.

That’s what replacing workers means and that’s the effect of labour reduction. It puts power into the hands of the owner of the tool instead of the people who use the tool to generate cashflow.

This is capitalism - the one with capital exploits the many without, all backed up by the exclusive right to violence of the state which is owned and run by the capital owning class.

Yeah I think that’s kinda the point. Fedora does a bunch of things in really specific ways that aren’t at all like Debian based distros or Mac or windows. Eg - Selinux. So you, initial experience is pretty poor if you don’t know a decent amount about what’s going on

I have mint on my big rig, on a new Intel nuc laptop, on 2 VMS, on 2 proxmox VMS, on my home file server made of old parts, on another laptop from like 2005, and now on a wyse 5060 terminal.

All of them run perfectly, connect to file shares, automatically find my printer, etc. Not one crash ever, and it all works like clockwork day in and day out. I’m halfway through baldurs gate 3 on the big rig now and can play it remotely via xrdp from the laptop.

If you want a system that works and let’s you get on with life I’d reccomend it

Everything is politics kid. Sticking your head in the sand is no different than allowing people with evil intent to do whatever they want.

We can, will, and must continue to talk about everything through a political lens until all the problems of the world are resolved

Big ol yikes right there

What is your issue with installation exactly? I must have done 200+ installs of 2 dozen distros (not you Arch) and its always been smooth and easy. And quick. Like, the whole process only takes 15 minutes for most distros

Should also be available in most Linux Repo’s from what I know.

Try not to crush me for the wrong words there, its 3am

Is this what the kids pass off as a meme these days?

I had a look at this a few weeks ago and loved some of the features. Having no option to keep data local or any simple cross platform backup (even if those will be implemented later) turned me off a bit. Having sync from PC to phone was great, although it relies on either thier cloud system or doing a bunch of tech setup I’m not good enough to handle. Overall good concept but a lot of things made me uncomfortable.

I then found Obsidian which is similar but seems to have a bunch of better features, and is all stored locally in standard formats. 10/10 If you like the look of any type chack out obsidian

Hey that’s fantastic, thanks. I tried downloading my audible books a while back but couldn’t get it right. It this does what it says, I might finally be able to actually own the things I bought!

Heelo there
