Yes, I agree, I was projecting about five or six years into the future.

I have a 2008 iMac running Mint just great.
By the time Apple Silicon is truly old and no longer supported, they will probably support Linux fine. It won’t be just Asahi either.

Model numbers are on the bottom of the computer printed in light grey on the aluminum.
If your computer is an A1466 It’s the most common kind of air, and fairly well supported in a few distros.

Put ZorinOS on it and use it as a laptop. Easy. Or Mint. Both work nicely on a 2015 Air.
I have a few and was going to use them as servers, but laptop battery management is too fussy for a server setup. Now selling them cheap with Linux.

Huh, I guess you don’t know folks who have fox news on all the time, then. It’s pretty common in Alberta. The values are pretty in sync after years of that.

To be fair, sure, fuck the yank dominance of topics.
To be clear, though, this is a shitpost about how you can’t escape authoritarianism no matter your creed or country. Buckle up kids.

Fuck, Dean, lately all you seem to do on lemmy is gripe and insultingly correct people while getting it wrong yourself. Hope you feel better soon.

Sam_Bass’s comments are mainly mildly contemptuous one-liners. Condescending is part of the persona, and when others interpret that manner as right wing, it seems to affirm sam’s misanthropy.

I fully believe that you are antifascist in sentiment. I also see that you are asking people to show some skepticism about media that is obscure in origin and used to evoke strong feelings.
I was a media literacy activist for decades and this was one of the basic points, that framing can reverse the meaning of an image or video or even story. So you are essentially just asking people to show a little media literacy, which is laudable.
Your manner of argument, in a highly charged subject, is tone deaf, which is what seems to have triggered the downvotes. Righteousness is druglike, the veracity of the recorded action is immaterial, and we all need the narrative that punching nazis is normal. Plus, actual nazi propaganda techniques include sowing doubt about their existence, making false equivalencies, minimizing their transgressions, etc., and the tone deaf manner made it look like you were doing that.

You know, the subcontinent has around a billion people on it? Who see it scattered all around, for thousands of years.

Well, for one thing, the supply of googly eyes will run out and you will have to adapt.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 3 months ago:
Gold is good as notation for big things, like an excavator and a dozen barrels of diesel. You can’t trade that shit for cucumbers and canned tuna.
You can use gold as an excellent long lasting conductor for electric equipment. You can make it very thin. It would make a comeback in basic dentistry, as you can actually eat it: it’s non-poisonous. Doesn’t tarnish. A smith can do a lot with gold.
Gold is a resource. That said, I don’t have any right now. Just some silver coins, and some packaged goods like knives and flour mills (business leftovers). Given the market insecurities now and gold’s all time high price, wish I did.
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 3 months ago:
To clarify, when people colloquially refer to “the collapse of society” they don’t mean that all forms of society would cease to exist, but the failure of the nation state, or possibly the international order, and the long supply chains that go with it. Etc.
So society at various scales would still exist, in overlapping ways and jurisdictions. Basic units like neighbourhoods and firefighters and towns and regions would be organizing based on the old rules and adapting. People organize well in the absence of warlords, so that and extinction events are the threats to trade.
The value of trade goods might be indeterminate if a comet wipes nearly all of us out. Otherwise, many people love to dicker and argue about the value of things, so I’m pretty confident about rare raw materials like gold having both utility value and a reasonably inflated exchange value in a prolonged regional or international crisis.

Consider this: every record I play has a faint recording of the room, every time it has been played, since no turntable or cartridge is perfectly isolated, and, being diamond rubbing against vinyl, will leave some trace of the room sound behind.
