Reminder that Rex Tillerson (former CEO of ExxonMobil) was the Secretary of State under Trump’s first admin. This is nothing new.
NixOS is great for granularity since everything is “reinstalled” every single time you change your configuration, and it’s extremely customizable. Fully declarative systems are a gamechanger IMO.
CachyOS is great for when you want a lot of pre-optimized software for your specific CPU archirecture, but you don’t want to compile everything.
Artix is great for when you want Arch minus systemd.
Alpine is great for when you want a very lightweight system, also without systemd, but also using musl instead of glibc.
As if the prison system in the US wasn’t already unnecessarilly cruel.
They’re betting on GTA VI dominating the news as well.
Depends on the game. Many games are still playable from disc.
That explains why billionaires have been fleeing NYC ever since Mamdani was elected.
Oh wait, they haven’t.
They’re just trying to ride out the backlash until we all get distracted enough by other news to forget about it.
And how are we going go change campaign finance laws until we elect politicians who don’t take corporate money?
This isn’t a chicken and egg problem. There is a very clear starting point.
Hence the entire new guard of the Democratic party not taking corporate PAC money, and the entire purpose of this post.
Also, are we really still playing the “both sides” game in $CURRENTYEAR, where one side is openly fascist?
Both of those are soft forks of Android, meaning they still exist at the whim of Google.
The only real alternatives are Sailfish (proprietary userland, relies on Halium for its devices to run, which means the devices have a limited lifespan as they rely on a specific version of the Linux kernel that will eventually stop being supported), UBPorts, Droidian, etc. (also relies on Halium, but the userland is open sourcs), and mainline Linux distros like PostmarketOS (has one device that is fully functional, but is extremely slow, but device support is slowly improving over time).
All of those alternatives also support an Android compatibility layer, presuming you don’t rely on device attestation DRM like Play Integrity.
Imagine someone unironically using Facebook’s VPN service.
While we’re at it, the stock market is also easy to con, influence, and rig if you’re powerful enough.
Assuming it wasn’t rigged in 2024 like Elon claims to have done.
