This guy scrapes

What do you think we should actually do about those problems? Ask nicer? Vote harder?

I think your rent should be due a week early this month.

because these topics are de facto censored on most of the internet

Complaining about capitalism, landlords and US Politics are censored on most of the internet? Have you been to Reddit or Twitter?

Also aren’t a bunch of other websites specifically dedicated for discussing specific topics? I.e. modding video games, agriculture/horticulture, etc?

Are there like a bunch of bloggers complaining about living in the West that are being censored, or are they just not popular because they’re terrible writers and have 0 reach?

Also no one talks about Linux besides weird and niche communities. It’s not censored either. I say this as a Linux user.

Sorry, I agree. I don’t know why I simply said “fired.”

I think the cop should absolutely be fired prosecuted, but I don’t think police shootings are to “justify the need” for police officers to keep their jobs.

That doesn’t even make sense: police officers involved in shootings are likely to be investigated by IA, which is compounded stress ontop of a job that probably already sucks, who’s possibly even pushed out of the force by IA, and if the shooting an officer was involved in was in fact justified (not this one) you’re left with an officer who’s unfit mentally and will likely feel some guilt for the rest of their lives.

In the world you think we live in, encouraging police shootings because it “justifies” a need for police leaves you with a bunch of underperforming and mentally unstable bunch of police officers and a forever staggering rate of total police officers and their presence in neighborhoods where they’re actually needed; as people will resign and no new officers will replace them.

The car the lady was driven off in was like decent looking ~2020 model car. Maybe it happens the way you say it does, I don’t know. I’d like to see data that shows if either how you what you say is true or not, but generally when I’ve personally witnessed shoplifting it’s not done by people who seem like they’re truly struggling.

Just the fact she has to shoplift probably also means she has very little money or is struggling to get buy on her sallery.

As much as I don’t think this woman should’ve been shot, shoplifting isn’t usually done by people who “need/have” to and it’s also usually items that aren’t necessities. Ask anyone who works at an Ulta or makeup section of a department store. In fact, I watched a lady run out of an Ulta into a car that sped off who, according to employees, stole a bunch of perfume and they told me and my girlfriend they were likely going to resell the perfume online.

Well as the project README says

Labwc is a wlroots-based window-stacking compositor for wayland, inspired by openbox.

So it’s not quite a DE.But it looks interesting. While I myself don’t use Wayland, I’m all for new WM/Wayland compositors. If it’s as nice as Openbox, then I hope it does well.

Jokes aside, don’t get caught up in picking the most popular or most hipster distro or DE (desktop environment). Pick one, stick with it, get used to how Linux works.

Linux Mint, Zorin OS, Debian, MX Linux (if you got a pretty old laptop) are decent start. All have graphical installers, so just follow along.

When you get to disk partitioning, most people start with

1GB for /boot

Up to 8GB for swap

The rest for /, EXT4 or BTRFS

Or

1GB for /boot, FAT32

Up to 8GB for swap, swap

64GB for /, EXT4 or BTRFS

The rest for /home, whichever you picked for /

You might see ZFS or people talking about it, don’t worry about using it. Keep things simple for the start.

After rebooting and everything seems to work, dive in, friend.

Sure, I don’t disagree. But you can’t fire them simply because Islam isn’t pro-gay.

But I need proof that Eich was going out of his way to specifically oppress the gays, not a “well obviously” or tangential claim. If he simply donated to some Republican who later turned out later to actually be anti-gay marriage, who’s to say Eich didn’t know they had that position?

And we don’t even know if Eich is against gay marriage, no one here has shown proof of that. Should I assume you’re possibly Islamaphobic because of your comment? I don’t think I should.

We can’t assume people’s positions based on nothing tangible. It comes off as obnoxious mind reading. In fairness, the internet created these mind reading games all political sides do, because it gets attention and likes. If someone truly holds a disagreeable opinion, you should be able to sufficiently counter it. Granted, that’s a whole different think when we’re talking about being in the workplace.

He was ousted in part because Mozilla is supposed to be and open and inclusive place to work,

So by “open and inclusive” that means “everyone has to have the personal opinions, even when they don’t bring any of those opinions to the company?”

To clarify, I think gay people should be allowed to marry. I don’t agree with the supposed position Brendan Eich has. I say “supposed” because you haven’t provided any proof that this is his position.

Here’s 2 great questions you should answer:

1. Should Muslims be allowed to work at Mozilla?

Islam is very anti-gay, and if you’ve met any Muslim immigrants, I have, they don’t think the gays should marry either. Among, uh, other things. Depending on age and where they’re from.

2. Should you be penalized/reprimanded/fired by your employer for having opinions they don’t agree with?

Let’s say this: you work for a Pakistani Muslim and in a workplace that’s predominantly Middle Eastern and North African. He doesn’t believe in gay marriage, you do. You donate like $50 to some LGBTQIA+ organization. Should your boss fire you?

Or let’s be less controversial: you want to legalize all drugs and donate to a candidate who thinks the same. Your employer had a family member who died of a heroin overdose, and they’re pretty anti-drug. Should they fire you?

Or lastly: you’re a Republican. Your boss is a registered Democrat. Neither of you talk politics at work and you get along well and you do your job. Should they fire you?

hard to do that when your boss doesn’t believe you should be allowed to marry.

Was Brendan Rich going out of his way to tell any gay people at Mozilla he thinks they shouldn’t marry? Was he bullying gay subordinates? If he was, yea, he should absolutely be fired. If not, it doesn’t make sense to me for an employer to fire you for personal opinions you hold that don’t effect your day-to-day job.

Hey now, spam is made of pork! What cuts of pork we’re talking about, well, that’s a different question.

Saves you whatever they marked up the price to for adding the “organic” label.
