Rogue empire

I can’t believe nothing is coming from the sane half of the country. This will not get any better. So where is the attitude, the boldness, the pride, the ego, the guns, everything that shaped my view of what the US are in the past decades? Where are you?! Writing comments on the internet while people disappear in real life.
I’m going to quote Erich Kästner again:

The events from 1933 to 1945 should have been combated by 1928 at the latest. Later it was too late. We must not wait until the fight for freedom is called treason. We must not wait until the snowball has turned into an avalanche. The rolling snowball must be crushed. No one can stop the avalanche. It only comes to rest when it has buried everything beneath it.
Erich Kästner, 1958

Impressive! I’ve quoted this from memory for at least a decade. I used to listen to him when I went to sleep. :)

“My Chancellor said we should not indulge in superficial anti-Americanism now, but I assure you:
Mine is not superficial at all!”

You have no idea what you are taking about, Teknikal

Schrödingers Russia is on the verge of collaps and about to conquer Europe for three years now

Thanks! This sounded very promising but I don’t get any errors from git fsck, so I have to keep looking for other solutions.

Since the update my pi-hole is stoll blocking stuff, but I can not reach the interface anymore. I’m on DietPi and use Unbound as well.

If these people would do the exact same thing for climate justice instead of a better wage, people would lose their shit and probably drive a few SUV in the crowd.

I can’t decide between Fooyin and Rhythmbox. I’d love to stick with Rhythmbox, but I really miss waveform view.

Wanna watch it with my 6 and 9 year olds soon. Is it that sad?! I skipped through it and it looked nice.

I’ll once again post this, keep swiping

Say the word!

I read an interview with the guy, he said that there are only a few fallen civilizations left to talk about and that he wants to end his podcast with an episode about us and our (first time ever) global civilization. Looking forward to that.
On the other hand, I read and listened to Kim Stanley Robinson a lot. In this podcast, he explains why he doesn’t want to write dystopian novels, that they comfortably trap our mind. That we need utopian stories to not give up and let them™ win. I think he has a point.

Let’s talk about that!
I was running Mint 21.3 using THIS script (tutorial) and it was incredible! It one-stop turned my (rather powerful) computer into an audio workstation. I just installed Bitwig and couldn’t have been happier. All my VSTs worked with Yabridge, which came with the script. It was super snappy and my projects where huge! I edited big projects in Davinci as well.
Then I switched to Mint 22, looking forward to using PipeWire and … it’s not great. I have latency and my old projects stutter. I feel like in missing something but I don’t know what it could be. Davinci is giving me errors as well, so can not use it right now. Need to look into it, don’t want to. It’s frustrating, but I don’t want to downgrade!

My country looked up to the US as a charismatic winner with a big ego and an anger problem, who turned full coked up psychopath now. I listened to the Fall of Civilizations-Podcast a lot and this feels like one. It’s scary to watch and I feel sorry for all the good people living in this mess. But I agree, there is no sympathy left. Let the raging insanity humble the evil empire.

This is a tragedy. And everybody knows the US is a rogue state now. I’m more interested in reading about solutions, then further emotionalizing the debate. This isn’t helping anymore, it just makes ad money and attacks peoples mental health. Everyone already picked a side, so what do you want to do next?

Probably no, as its firmware auto-updates and they closed the jailbreak a year or two ago. But who knows, put it in airplane mode and check it.

Wait, rainbow capitalism wasn’t sincere?!

I absolutely agree. I use it at home for lots of different tasks and put it on my parents laptops as well. It might not be the hottest, most modern disto for the cool kids but it’s a great experience.
