The founding fathers said a two party system would be the downfall of this country, so no, its not intentional.
Authoritarian party win? Do you even know who I was going to vote for? I guess any third party means authoritarian to you? No, and its not just Biden voters, its people who vote for Trump as well. We all need to pick a different canadite now. I'd personally vote for Chase Oliver.
You may think that's how the system works, but at it's root, you can pick other choices, not just one or the other. The more you say that, the more real it becomes, and the more hopeless you make everyone else feel. You have a very nuanced view of how everything works and what type of person I am.
Jesus dude at that point just vote for someone else 💀
I agree, though I haven't watched the debate yet. Personally, I have mixed views on current America, particularly on mass surveillance. But I believe we can change that if we all try hard enough!
I appreciate Chase Oliver's views and see him as a better choice than RFK in my opinion. He's running as libertarian, supports immigration, opposes war, is pro-gun rights (his motto is 'Armed and gay'), against government surveillance, pro-abortion, 38 years old, and wants to end the war on drugs. I feel like I could vote for him, even as a right-leaning straight white male! I really don't like Trump or Biden, and I refuse to give them my vote.
I'm just looking to have my users not use JS to shop at my store. I'm not too familiar with web dev terminology.
Hello,
I'm trying to setup an online computer store via YunoHost installed on my VPS. I'm okay with payments to be handled via a third party payment processor (who preferrably also has no JS, but I understand that is probably unlikely). I also have my domain up and running, so I'm ready to test whatever I can get.
TIA!
Honestly, should I keep it or no? I love this domain name, I'm just trying to use it for my blog :P
Oh shoot, yeah I don't have the money for that lol I'm just a small computer store. Is it okay just to use it for my blog then? Thank you and everyone else for the advice!
It is, this is my first website so I dont really know about trademark infringement too much.
I actually just tried installing it yesterday on Debian, I was able to build everything successfully, but I couldn't figure out how to actually apply the theme. Unfortunately, the developer hasn't written a guide for it yet. Would you be able to help me? Looking forward to your reply!
I will definitely come back with photos, I'm getting the Thinkpad on Friday or Saturday :-)
I'm also looking into customizing GRUB to look like this:
Edit: also planning on using this for my DE:
Hello all,
I have a cool little project I'm doing for myself, I bought a ThinkPad T60 and I'm going to install Libreboot on it. I want it to be themed and look as close as possible to Windows XP. I plan on installing Trisquel and building Cinammon DE from source (they don't have it in the repositories), and then theming it from there. I'm wondering, can I change the bootsplash to the animated Windows XP loading screen?
Well, theoretically they can, and it's already been proven that they can tap into anyone's phone, so what's stopping the NSA from spying this much? The use of proprietary software in literally everything, and companies such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. secretly working with them, not only that, but the amount of exploits the NSA has on hand is insane.
Every search you make, email you send, text message, voice chat, location, and most likely the conversations you have in your own home are monitored and stored in a database for whoever knows how long (probably forever). When I hear land of the free, I immediately think bullshit. We are slowly losing our freedoms, what can we do to prevent this? I mean, when Edward Snowden dropped the leaks, people protested, but barely anything changed. What can we do? This post not only applies to Americans, your own government in another country may possibly does the same thing. Feel free to comment!
Windows XP, but it was during its ending phase, so I think it really was Vista. My first Linux distro was Kali Linux because I wanted to be a cool hacker when I was a kid. I never got too much into it then, though. I then found Ubuntu, and strangely enough, I switched to Trisquel, which wasn't too bad. I decided to go all the way and buy a T400 with Libreboot/Trisquel when I was about 15 years old and used that as my second computer for about two years. I learned how to start installing Libreboot myself. It was a really fun experience (not really, there was a lot of quitting and crying), but it taught me more about GNU and the entire philosophy. I started to learn more about GNU and RMS when I was 18. Now I'm 20 and use Arch. The end.

Using Arch GNU/Linux (Tried installing Debian, couldn't get the AMD drivers to work properly, so I'm using Arch for the moment)
Can run Stable Diffusion, LLMs, and basically all my games at 1440p High to Ultra settings (RDR2, GTA V, Arma 3, etc.)
GPU passhtrough doesn't work for the moment, but I can still run virtual machines. This is a Haswell motherboard, which can be 100% freed in the BIOS over time when we have enough Libreboot devs who can reverse engineer the rest of the blobs. Intel ME is also disabled (theoretically, since you can't actually fully remove it). This is a build that I did for fun, in the future, I'm planning on switching to a Z690-A motherboard with DDR5(can be flashed with Dasharo firmware). If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
