I'd be the first to sign up. I think if Mars is ever a possibility, it would have to be a one way trip. It won't be a possibility until someone can land fully automated mining and fabrication equipment, but once that happens, the first people there will have to go to colonize. There'd likely be no way back for generations. They'd die there ...

Sign. Me. Up! :blobcatsalute:

@hachi @ainmosni @ArdainianRight @SNEK I'm not even going to respond given the shitshow you caused the last time you baited someone into this.

people seem to get really upset when i point out that the akkoma developer removes/breaks functionality on purpose just to make a political statement or something

Why is the dissident right obsessed with that VHS static filter?

There is no way you can support CPS and not be a socialist/marxist. If there is an organization that can take away your children, then your children are basically property of the state.

@jeffcliff @danielhudson @xianc78 @givenup @Fullmetal2255 >The point is to reduce the co2e at the national scale.

Humans are carbon too, so genocide it's justified by ecologic means.

@tinosoft @danielhudson @givenup @Fullmetal2255 @jeffcliff Agenda 2030, The Great Reset, or whatever you want to call it is not communism, fascism, or late-stage capitalism. It's a rebrand of an old ideology known as technocracy, which was a proposed system from the 1930s where experts (or people claiming to be experts) are the ones in charge, money is replaced with energy credits (or in The Great Reset rebranding, Carbon Credits), and nation-states are replaced with administrative areas known as "technates". It failed back in the 1930s because it wasn't technologically feasible at the time, but now it is thanks to advancement of computer networks and AI.

Linux Mint :linuxmint: es una buena distro GNU/Linux para los que quieran salirse de windows y quieran probar.

Lo mejor de todo, lo instalan con interfaz XFCE y con eso ya se corre en computadoras de bajo recursos e imposibles de actualizar debido a la obsolescencia de su tarjeta madre.

No requiere tanto manual, ni ir a los foros para hacer muchas cosas; eso sí, configurar el Samba es algo que uno aprende por las malas.

@berkberkman @BigDawg869789 One more thing about System76 is that they are one of the few hardware manufacturers that disables the Intel Management Engine which is a universal hardware backdoor that is present in all Intel CPUs since 2008. Granted, it is ultimately a band-aid solution as you are still giving money to Intel, who are most likely either going to eventually blacklist System76 as a customer or make it harder to disable the backdoor in future processors, but it's better than nothing.

@BigDawg869789 @xianc78 I recommend against buying Alienware desktops longterm. Save up for System76. Maintaining an Alienware prebuilt computer has been nothing but trouble for me. A lot of them aren't easy to replace since their motherboards are unique (in a bad way); you can't just put a random SSD, RAM module, or GPU without any problems from their computers (even if there could be support). The AIO cooler is also a pain to deal with over time, especially if you forget to clean out any dust. Those System76 motherboards on the other hand are simpler to repair. There's documentation available, too.

@berkberkman @blaaablaaaa @BigDawg869789 You should always ask any potential employer if they issue laptops to workers, when applying for a job.

@BigDawg869789 @blaaablaaaa Anyway, if you want a Linux PC for gaming, this is the one you should be looking for. They are designed with gaming in mind.

@blaaablaaaa @BigDawg869789 The only real problem you run into at this point is if you apply for a job or take a class that requires you to run a Windows program that refuses to run under Wine or Proton. In that case, you will need to dual boot (have two operating systems installed on your PC) or have a Windows VM.

@blaaablaaaa @BigDawg869789 Also, if a game is not on Steam (or if it's just a regular Windows program), there is Wine which is what Proton is based on.

If you are into emulators, pretty much every emulator in existence is on Linux as most emulators are open-source. Though emulators for 6th gen home consoles and beyond are kind of hit or miss on Linux, at least from my experience.
