I think it’s a very important frame. Everyone should have a good, long think about how much money it costs them that billionaires exist. And it isn’t distributed evenly, basically every european and american has spend tens of thousands of dollars so that some people have more money than they could ever spend and use it to pay politicians to keep that dough rolling in, stabilising a system of redistribution of wealth from the poor to the rich.

The same holds true for rich and poor countries. Most poor countries today are poor because they have been plundered in one way or another.

1 trillion dollars divided by 8 billion humans could pay each and everyone if us 125 dollars, which would go a long way in poor regions.

Or, framed differently: Tesla stole 125 dollars from every human alive to give it to Elon Musk.

Giving money (especially in the form of services) to people who need it, immediatly injects money into the economy. Because needy people don’t save big sums. When they have money to spend, they spend it. It remains in circulation, serving the economy until it reaches the hands of someone who can afford to not spend it. The very instant money reaches rich folk it could just as easily not exist anymore for all the good it does then.

The US cannot afford tax breaks for the rich, but injecting money into services and payments for the poor has a really good return on investment for a country.

I don’t doubt for a moment that humanity can be extremely wasteful in any economic system. But capitalism sure embraces and enhances our worst tendencies.

And the Trump regime has a vested interrest in propping up other fascist to “prove” that their economic model (robbing the populace) can work (at least until they are done with their raid)

Thank you, all this alphabet soup carries no meaning for me.

Next they may want to hang pictures of Rommel, Manstein, Kettle or Guderian, who - just like Lee - were defeated enemy generals.

That’s honestly not stunning, not stunning at all, more like… expected, yes, that kind of talk is exactly what I expected of a Fox News host.

Look, folks, I’ve been hearing a lot, a lot, about this thing called Linux. Ever heard of it? Sounds European, doesn’t it? Probably invented in Brussels, or Sweden, maybe Russia, I don’t know. Total disaster. I call it Socialist Windows, because that’s what it is! It’s chaotic, no one’s in charge. Total mess. Bernie Sanders running an IT department, terrible. Meanwhile, Windows, great American company, by the way, very successful, very strong.

Yeah, well the DMA wasn’t going to cost most EU politicians much of their good ol’ corporate lobbying monies. But switching the EU off of Micro$oft would definitely not only lose those funds, but also introduce way more vigorous counter-lobbying.

One pro of the EU’s glacial pace is that they frog-boil the shareholders, meaning most counter-lobbying activities are relatively tame.

But damn, do I wish they would just give the finger to all those american corporations and start a 4-year transition to OSS.

Gotta LOVE the EU, they’re working at a glacial pace but sooner or later (most likely later) it changes the landscape for the better.

If only enshittification would happen slow enough for the EU to catch up to.

Am a heavy metal dude. Can confirm that I absolutely disapprove of this weak ass faker.

If you feel threatened in your manliness from checks notes … wait what? Eating soup?! Ironing? Crossing ones legs? Successful women?

Dude can’t handle soup! Soup!!

Asshole needs to grow a spine and put a brain on it.

Verdict: Not metal

Never felt so much more in control than when ditching Windows and installing first Linux Mint and later Kubuntu. Gonna try Arch in the future to feel like a god and completely in control over what happens on my machine.

Because the servers are subject to their respective national laws and regulations and the governments are all to happy to take down uppity servers full of people who are opposed to those governments.

The rules regulating speech on our servers are not there to protect the rich or the system, they are there to protect the servers, so we can continue to call for direct action, even if we can’t outright call for violence.

It’s either regulated speech or no speech at all.

depends on your Distro, for Linux Mint it’s just the Driver Manager.

To access the Driver Manager in Linux Mint, follow these steps:

1. Click on the Menu (Taskbar) in the lower-left corner of your screen.
2. Navigate to Administration.
3. Click on Driver Manager.

Once you have opened the Driver Manager, follow these steps to install the Nvidia drivers:

1. The Driver Manager will prompt you for your password. Enter your password and click on Authenticate.
2. The Driver Manager will scan your system for available drivers. Once the scanning is complete, you will see a list of available drivers for your graphics card.
3. Select the recommended Nvidia driver from the list.
4. Click on Apply Changes to start the installation process.

Then reboot.

For most problems you can really just google stuff like “Linux Mint Nvidia Drivers”

The only way to pay for subscription is with a credit card, no thank you, my culture mostly doesn’t use those and I don’t have or want one.

at least in the US

And there’s your answer
