This is a plot point in one Stargate episode. It was a bit less melevolent but still scary

Indeed.

So you are saying Mastodon won’t take off because people need to choose a server but also because having a “default” where majority will ptobably end up is bad - but this is literally the solution to the problem you mentioned

I meant no disrespect. I was mainly thinking pre-Vista, possibly pre-XP. Certainly didn’t expect someone in their 20s to be around Win 95. Maybe I’m just seeing myself older than I actually am.

Thanks!

Yeah… and Ukraine clearly shouldn’t have signed without it

Never really got into it but really loved the concept.

Also RIP the MMO that should’ve been.

And that was the issue of the memorandum - it should’ve included something akin to Article 5

It’s still a cool bubble. The initial hype was bound to diminish, but it is still a cool little place. Has it’s own issues, but still. Here since the exodus, never looked back

It is the limitation of democracy and why it is the worst (except all the others) - because it allows this.

How to fix this? These would be a good start: don’t polarize the society like this and create us vs. them mentality. In place of power hungry populists have people in charge who want the best for the country. Don’t enable fascists - they never should make it this far. Respect other people. Invest in education so people understand these basics.

And this is not just about US. It’s scary that this is wherr us got because they are such a big player on the world stage

Doesn’t look like my type of MMO but will try it anyway. Would be interested on what you think about it once you play

I wish you luck and safety.

Take it up with Winston Churchil - I was just paraphrasing his quote.

The point is democracy is terrible, but we don’t have anything better.

All Americans? As in every single individual? I don’t think so. There are many who will suffer under Trump regime I’m sure.

The generalized Americans? Hell yeah. And I bet majority of the individuals I mentioned above would back it up

Well yeah - they recorded the MP3s as lossless audio, clearly

Democracy really is the worst form of government, just not as bad as all the others…

Unfortunately in such polarized times like now, even though majority wants this, the ammount of people for which this is unacceptable is only slightly less than “the majority”. And besides, I believe a big part of “the majority” is just gullible enough to be persuaded they want this while it actually goes against their interests

This is the way, but also be vigilant - if they really wanted the thing, they might’ve gotten it themselves. If possible, double check this.

Which is to say, in essence, pelmeni are a type of pierogi

Tbh, using Linux Mint feels really familiar and most software you can just install from the software center. In many ways it’s easier than setting up Windows. Sure, there are some specifics but for just every day use, there is not much of it.

I put off trying Linux for months, only to find it’s not really much change at all. I even at one point had to buy new Windows license because I was not in a place where I had capacity to fiddle with new stuff and it was such an unnecessary and huge mistake. Finally bitnthe bullet a couple of months after and I didn’t boot to Windows for months now - and the transition was super smooth. I changed my primary boot drive from Win to Mint very shortly after the transition.
