wdym? Every single week there's protests. Are you part of an org? If you're part of an org maybe you'll hear about them more?

I think people are having a "Napster moment" with AI, watching it disrupt the status quo and being afraid of it. I think there's way too many anti-technology hot takes.

However, AI is absolutely a threat to and a weapon against the working class (or will be very soon). The capitalist class is just salivating to use this tool to further exploit people.

regardless of all other factors

Yea that's not what DEI is. Look up affinity bias and why we need things like DEI.

Once proton integrates an office suite I'll be all set. (It's in the road map. When? Who knows?)

Linux mint de

You're going to distro hop (we all do) so just start somewhere. It's debian based, so what you learn will be applicable to like 80% of the distros out there.

I like gnome. Plasma is nice too. Lately I've just been using minimal i3 window manager.

Good luck!

Both are imperialists. Both are evil. You don't remember ole two-tap Obama?

I don't think Dems are even capable of doing anything. They serve the same Capitalist interests that the Republicans do, so this isn't surprising. The system is working as intended. People are slowly starting to realize this.

That said, anything is more than nothing, which is what they're currently doing. At minimum they should do what the Republicans do whenever Dems have power: block, harass, impede, shutdown, filibuster... The problem is that there's always a cohort of Dems that vote against party lines (again, working as intended).

yea reddit is insufferable now (well, has been for at least 10 years)

The mod-system is totally toxic as well. I can't stand it.
