  • Fucking hope this site is in no way representative of the voting population, because Jesus Christ.

    That, or all the “I’m totally a progressive that suddenly learned about Gaza last week and refuse to vote for Biden because of it” astroturfing is shifting their gears to Harris.

    They were looking for a new unified attack vector, and then she went and said this and they realized they could just keep doing the same old tired shit.

    Reminder: if you give a single shit about Palestine or the people who live there, you will do everything you can to prevent Trump and down ballot Republicans from winning. At all costs.

    If you can’t see the forest for the trees, you’re gonna find out real quick what happens in Gaza when Trump wins. Assuming you actually give a shit about those people and aren’t just using them as political pawns to try to change the sentiment regarding Kamala Harris.




  • I don’t know what it is you want to distribute, but if it is newsworthy or political in nature, I think most media outlets (like “legit” ones like WaPo, NYT, etc.) have ways of contacting them through Tor for situations where the person with the information might have legitimate fears for their safety (e.g. whistleblowers).

    But that’s really only for a certain type of “post.”


  • Fair enough… It’s been nearly a month since I commented here so I don’t remember the exact situation, but if having a lot of updates was an issue, then yeah maybe not EndeavourOS. There may be LTS versions, but since it’s based on Arch, I’m not sure. I personally don’t mind it, and have yet to have a single issue with an update “breaking” something (though I have Timeshift set up to take a snapshot before updating just in case), but I guess

    I could see someone being annoyed by having the little thing pop-up to tell you how many things you could update, but I kind of like it I think. It kinda feels like I’m very slowly, incrementally, making my laptop better, albeit usually in ways I can’t even perceive at the time.

    But hey, everyone has their preferences. That’s why there’s a billion distros to choose from.

    FYI, I just switched to Linux few months ago from Windows and have been using Arch/EndeavorOS with KDE, and have had a wonderful experience.

    I have a relative who’s been using Linux for years, and that’s the one they helped me install. I needed their help a handful of times the first couple of weeks, but since then I’ve been on my own and I love it.

    Depends if you want bleeding edge or not. I don’t mind it, but I get update notifications like 3x a week.
