Thanks! Learning more every day

Also, beautiful design, and probably not bad for a touchscreen (terrible for mouse though)

If I understood it correctly, in this context it means that the icons normally retain the original logo and color scheme, while incorporating them into a single style.

In theory - sure. In practice - all countries in the world have to agree to raise taxes, even though individually they are better off betraying this agreement and lowering them, thereby attracting the rich and ending up with more, not less, money.

And if all countries agree to tax the rich the way they should, we might as well go and build socialism everywhere, because not having everyone onboard is a main issue there too.

As someone born in 2000, I’ve personally seen it and I think most people around me did. Maybe someone didn’t, though.

The question is: how are they gonna get back on track?

One thing to remember is that Democrats, just like Republicans, are sponsored by the rich, and have their hands tied against taking drastic measures that would actually improve lives of common people against the interest of businesses. This is primarily why key economic points they rallied with never came to fruition.

It is very obvious they meant it draws no power from the grid. And it doesn’t, indeed, acting fully autonomously.

Cyberpunk is more about finding something normal among a clear dystopia rather than finding dystopia among normality :D

But it is immersive and emotional indeed.

Interesting, never heard of it! Thanks

Having read them all at some time in the past, I feel like, while they capture a lot of modern problems and are scaringly accurate in many of the predictions they make, they still don’t create this “everyday” feeling.

Brave New World is probably closest to capturing what I’m looking for, even though it too opens immediately with a dystopian picture.

The thing is, it would be interesting to explore, in any form of art really, this progression from feeling completely normal about what happens to figuring out what everything actually means, which could lead to people questioning and investigating things in real life.

Thanks, will look into it!

I already do, and it’s great!

It’s just that this post evaded all my filters anyway thanks to phrasing :D

Luckily, I am not

Me: unsubbing every single politics community

Showerthoughts:

I’d argue plenty of people are simply not aware such alternatives even exist, and don’t bother researching.

Internet could be a different place if more people cared.

With that said, even then we’d probably be in a minority.

I, in fact, do not :)

You’re not, it’s just that sometimes you paste your passwords outside browser, and opening a browser for that is doable, but feels wrong :D

Also, the app has a more convenient layout as it can afford more screen space.

VMWare, GNOME Boxes, QEMU+virt-manager

Personally using the latter, appears to have the best support and more configuration options compared to alternatives, as well as advanced options like GPU passthrough etc, though it has a bit more of a learning curve, and each alternative option should be fine.

My switch to Linux started 1,5 years ago with Manjaro KDE - and since then, I am still a fan of KDE, which is kind of “Windows UI done right” for me. Ergonomic, configurable, consistent. I also find Pantheon, Enlightenment, and Budgie to be cool concepts, but from a practical side, KDE is a no-brainer for me.

Mint comes with Cinnamon by default, and I guess that’s what you’re using. For me, Cinnamon is too old-fashioned, it’s like you’re back to at least Windows 7 timing. Some people like it, but for me it’s just old and out of touch with the progress of UI’s.

GNOME used in Ubuntu is good with app theming (yay for adwaita!), it is unique and minimalistic, but its overall design is just…not for everyone, and customization is heavily tied to unsafe practice of plugins which has been exploited many, many times.

With all that said, try everything out in a VM or something and see what’s good for you. There are really no wrong choices!

Congratulations! Hope it goes better and better for you two!

Yes, congratulations!
