You have to remember that the left in america is not in fact left at all. Just that the political spectrum got purged of anything left of full blown capitalism during the red scare, and now “the left” is entirely the same as the right, aside from their social policies.

Both are capitalist, pro deregulated free market money loyalists who have successfully reframed the left vs right question from an economic to a social one, and are perfectly content having the peasants bicker over reproductive rights and immigration, neither of that endangers the capital.

So with this added context, the reddit population is actually predominantly liberal to progressive. Lemmy is definitely more left leaning though, for better or worse (tankies 🤧)

To be fair, the blog post details how they plan on avoiding such an issue in the future

That’s the sub slogan of this cigarette brand: “its toasted!"

I believe it is just some fancy way of drying the tobacco they have patented for marketing or so

My shisha broke guys

Certainly, I am German myself. Everything that happens in us politics happens here as well some while later. I just didn’t agree with the suggestion that it is Germany again “leading the way”.

The real reason is the russian digital warfare campaign on the West that has been ongoing for years, while our societies are entirely unprepared and helpless against this new type of conflict and have allowed Russia to prop up sycophantic far right parties all over the West, beginning with the trump operation.

The fourth Reich is rising in the states, if anything.

I know you skimp on your education system, but do you not understand my words? Patriotism doesnt automatically mean america. This isnt about who or what or how your country can avoid going full masks off fascism, this is a semi serious comparison between nationalism and patriotism in a comic format.

And if you want to talk to Americans about american problems I suggest a less international community dedicated to such musings, instead of self centeredly derailing a random, at best tangentially related comment section.

Again, why are you even talking about america? I certainly am not, and the op is just a generalized patriotism vs nationalism comic. The above commenter you replied to originally makes no indication they are referring to america either.

I get it, your system failing is a hot topic for you, but outside your bubble nobody knows or really cares about the inner workings of your government, beyond which senile capitalist you eventually elect to change nothing for the better.

Why do you assume op is an american? Not everything is about, or from, or related to, or on reference to, your failed state lol

The issue is 3 years old, I honestly dont know why it is being dredged up again. I also dont know why any of this matters, use something else if you care about the dev beliefs some years ago.

Asking someone their country of residence is privacy intruding? Lol

In the strictest sense perhaps, but I dont think a criminal could make something of the knowledge that I am from Germany.

That is far too democratic to ever be a thing in your country. The political system is financed and thus owned by the capital, so they will never permit a not capitalist to have any political success. Bernie, a by all objective measures very moderate leftist, is the furthest the spectrum goes, and he is more tolerated as a sort of token minority than realistically able to affect any real change.

If people were able to select and push their own candidates the whole big money oligarchy collapses.

It wasn’t entirely serious, obviously there are both tasty and filling salads. Just that I am fairly sure that croutons exist because at some point someone chewed down on a pile of lettuce and thought “this ain’t it”

Just a language thing tho, in my native they are called hunchback whales 👀 not quite as impressive

I’m not saying we should shutter all the others or make a Linux for profit corporation, just that if there is a sort of “base” Linux that can be used and referenced as universally as windows, with the same capability, stability and compatibility, catering to the same crowd of dumbest possible user, that would go a long way in my opinion in getting Linux more widely adopted.

You mean the one where you help the suicidal PTSD cop neighbor of yours? I actually liked that one, showing how even the good people in the police are ruined by the abhorrent injustice they have to tolerate from their corporate masters.

In case you mean the river storyline, dude is just an uncle on a mission.

Dont forget that the vast majority of users either doesnt know Linux, distrusts Linux, has heard rumors at any point in time about some feature or component not working as perfectly as under windows, is uninterested in computers beyond their daily usage function, or finds themselves in a social circle or job environment hostile to Linux.

What Linux needs to get widely adopted is settle for one central distro, iron out all bugs and compatibility issues and do a bunch of testing with windows users to determine what differences they are confused by. The goal must be to create total feature and compatibility parity with windows, and make the whole process so incredibly simple that even absolute morons with zero interest in computers can both use it instinctively and not miss anything their windows used to do. Then run a massive adoption campaign.

Now I know many aspects of this are directly opposed to the fos ethos, but if Linux ever wants to claim market share they need to spend big on it and pick up the users where they are; in a place of zero user ability and a lot of ignorance.

I mean, I also acknowledged them as philosophical dilemmas in another comment, but I suppose it is my own fault for not clarifying that in the first.
