The scene where Picard needs a heart transplant around season 2 of TNG was pretty bad. You can’t just make up words for a procedure we already have. My girlfriend still isn’t over it.

If he does become a true dictator, I wouldn’t be surprised by him dying of old age. The fascist he hands his power down to however, they might see the fate of kings.

In my experience, experience with one distro is experience with them all. 90% of what you are familiar with will be either similar or completely the same. So definitely give LMDE a shot.

I’d personally recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition. After distro hopping for a bit, it has personally been the best one for working right out of the box, both for my games and for my peripherals.

I like the UI, it’s about at my tech level/needs. I have little to no complaints about it, which is as good as it gets.

Don’t worry, I’ve been playing plenty of Linux factorio for the last few weeks to make up for it.

Fascists hate art so this 100% tracks:

In my experience, the liberals lose games like that 9 times out of 10. Either they kill a liberal and doom themselves, or they kill a fascist and then lose the game anyways because the deck is stacked.

What this would actually look like in effect would be if Biden had Trump assassinated by their own rules, either Biden would get impeached by the republicans + a few breakoff dems, or it would start a precedent of political assassinations in the U.S., which would end with a lot of blood.

Either way, it will be a disaster. I don’t want to be a doomer, but I don’t see a way to salvage this shit show.

Right, and trickle down economics works. /s

And Geordi would probably canonically agree, at least with the second bit. Just finished reading Picard the Last Best Hope, and Geordi had no problem taking over the ship yards of Mars to build a fleet to save Romulans.

Even a small percentage is good. The situation is desperate.

The fewer first time home owners that get out bid by corps the better. Doesn’t matter if it is a drop in the bucket.

And that’s even before considering how it would help stop housing from being an investment vehicle.

I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform.

Nobody NEEDS social media, but when a social media does something harmful, they need to be regulated.

That’d be well and good if they didn’t have a monopoly.

many of which wirh anti cheat, it’s not worth making the switch just yet.

I get that. Shit like that is the only reason I stick with a dual boot.

Also, I got a NAS recently with OpenMediaVault and I only have the time to tinker with one thing at a time :P

I also get that. My self hosted gaming server can be a bit of work sometimes.

Any advice on the switch though, or tools you use lmk!

Two things, I’d go with Linux Mint Debian Edition if I we’re you. I’ve found it to be the most compatible with my games, (like 9 out of 10 or so), and have had zero major issues/glitches with it. Plus it avoids the drauam surrounding ubuntu.

The second thing is to keep a separate “home” partition for your documents/pictures/game saves/etc. Mine is [Name]_STC, with the acronym being a nod to wh40k’s Standard Template Constructs. The idea being it isn’t named something generic like “home”, or worse using the home folder.

And anytime I need to back up shit, I just zip the whole partition and put it on a separate drive. If something happens, I copy my standard template construct.

Why wait?

Life on earth sruvived the permian-triassic extinction.

Basically every volcano on earth lit up and choked the entire planet with toxic air, acid rain, continental fires, etc. Life survived that, it’ll survive humanity’s death throes.

Space is big, any civilization analyzing the composition of exo planet atmosphereres wouldn’t know for quite a while. It’s for more likely that they wouldn’t discover it until after several decades of passed, at which point it will have been too late.

That, and there’s the fact that first contact almost universally goes bad for the group with less technology, which is us in this case.

So you may as well just start playing the lottery.

“I didn’t read the article, so I’m gonna make shit up”

Good. Now make it work for everyone’s tax situation.
