The government has become desperate for funding, seeking out money from their own citizens through taxation. Not only have they raised taxes for every bracket, but the IRS managed to squeeze more money out of Americans through audits for fiscal year 2023 than any year on record. In fact, the IRS shook down Americans for an additional $7 billion in tax penalties alone – a 300% increase from FY22.

What the pandemic taught us:

- If you can’t question "The Science", it isn’t science
- The mainstream media is your enemy
- Our leaders are corrupt, self-serving, hypocritical and incompetent
- Our institutions have been captured by ideologues who are Marxist, misanthropic Malthusians

And now the same playbook is about to be run in the name of “climate”, “inclusion”, ... and any other [thing] these authoritarians can dream up [so people] submit to technocratic serfdom

Switched my two desktops over to Devuan from Trisquel and EndeavourOS. My main laptop is a PInebook Pro which already ran PostmarketOS. So in total all three are now free of SystemD. I used SysVinit on the Devuan machines and PostmarketOS uses OpenRC. On my main desktop I was still able to install the libre kernel afterwards so in many ways it is similar to how I ran my Trisquel machine. Did a lot of testing different distros the last few weeks and Devuan was easily the most user friendly and headache free one I tried that offered a different init option.
