    Oh!? Well this is my head-cannon of the diffences…

    US Communists - Just buses? Are you kidding me? We need at least 50k km of highspeed rail, make rail travel free for all, even tourists! And seize all gigafactories and data centers to pay for it.

    US Democratic Socialist - Let’s do what Europe does* and provide free bus passes next to free healthcare.

    US Progressive - Let the free-market decide for men. Free bus passes only for people of minoritized identities and only if the bus will combat climate change, so diesel buses are out of the question.

    US Liberal - Let the free-market decide. Free bus passes if you can prove that you’re using it to go to work.

    US Right-wing - Rob the poor blind! Those who don’t contribute to society, should be punished for it. And no buses. If you need a ride, buy a car. If you can’t afford one, then get a job you filthy commie! Also, it’s the rich that contribute to society, so it should be the poor who should pay the most taxes in order to help those who keep the US economy thriving.

    US fascist - Transportation should be free for everyone, but especially for the native Americans. We believe in the power of the native Americans. And this all the fault of the rich. So kill the rich, kill the rich, kill the rich…Juice! Buses are part of their (((globalist elite))) agenda, the agenda of “you will own nothing and be happy”. Look up who runs the WEF. Pay good attention to their ((( affiliations ))). So let us native Americans, who speak English and aren’t brown, unite against the Khazarian (((billionaires))) and their brown globalist allies. We should provide free bus passes for non-native Americans however, under the condition that they’re run by ICE and only with destinations outside of the US.


    • Very few countries in the EU provide free bus passes, so this group would actually be more to the left than EU social democrats and more close to EU socialist parties.

    I actually don’t know. I’m not that well-versed in communism, but I’ll try to make a suggestion:

    Marx never said to force communism, an envisioned futuristic system, to happen, the same way that one shouldn’t force capitalism in the year 900, during the time of fuedalism if some visionary would predict such of type of governance to happen in the year 800. Even if you think capitalism is better than fuedalism, trying to implement it by introducing ballot boxes, constitutions, parliaments and such, likely would get you killed by the nobility and/or clergy, because you forgot to increase the increase the power of the merchants first, so that they could revolt, with lawyers by their side, or better said in front of them, against the old powers.

    Trotsky wanted to implement a world government or capitalists will do everything in their power to try to destroy it.
    Stalin wanted to develop socialism further in the Soviet Union into a better working model for other countries to emulate.

    Furious debates ensued on who was on the right track.



  • It’s been my experience throughout the years.
    I haven’t personally heard “I have nothing to hide”
    since Huawei phones started to become banned in my country.

    The moment they became popular they went from
    “I’ve got nothing to hide” to “I’ve got nothing to hide, but this is different. Huawei is subject to the Chinese State.
    Those other phones are made by our allies. We may have found time after time again that all phones of all our politicians have been tapped by the US and it’s true that no matter how hard our best security experts searched for listening bugs in these devices, they found diddly squat, but if you own one of those Chinese phones and think you’re not being listened to, than you’re being naive. Naive naive, !be scared!, naive national security naive.”.

    Yes and the manual install taught me how to deal with DEs refusing to start without having to do a full reinstall.
    It’s such a pleasure to be able to save your setup no matter what the issue, apart from the time I accidentally erased my hard drive with a sudo rm -rf * command that was supposed to wipe a USB drive.

    Homework.

    College used linux because I did computer science.
    Topic: concurrency. College then gave us a programming assignment that required adding a code library, which I had never done before or even heard of, and thus did not understand.
    Since this was a library that was platform-specific, they had made one library for linux and one for windows.
    Way too late I got the gist of it but still couldn’t install the library.
    Since the question contained the linux directory structure I was convinced that the windows library was broken and every other college student finished this task in Linux.
    Thus I installed Linux.
    Ten years later I understood and finished the assignment.



  • That’s been argued before, saying that the French revolution was just a fluke and we’ll go right back to monarchy rule, replacing the Capetian dynasty for the Bonaparte dynasty.

    The fossil fuel revolution has replaced fuedalism with capitalism and so will the ground solar revolution replace capitalism with socialism.



  • I went from Sailfish, to Ubuntu phone, back to Sailfish,
    then bought a Pinephone due to the war,
    not knowing if the Finnish company would survive
    before going back to Sailfish.

    Pinephone, despite it being the most linux of phones, used up too much battery power.
    Ubuntu phones were already miles better.

    Sorry, but I’m not a fan of jokes at the expense of the colorblind and self-doubters,
    where you have people keep guessing and second guessing what’s in the pile of dots.

    Especially when this is on Lemmy.

    If you are colorblind and even if you’re not.
    You’re being lied to here.
    There’s nothing in this meme.

    Topic Starter should come out and confirm.

    Hmmm… I do mind that they look the part so you can at least recognize them.
    Avatar the last airbender movie was the worst offender of this,
    because at least one cast member looked like another character from the show.

    So the 1st one I have no issue with.

    2nd needs a tan and spraying his hair to gray/white,
    5th needed more red hair like this:
    https://images8.alphacoders.com/127/1272798.jpg

    The 3rd and 4th ones look ridiculous though.

    I don’t know from which movies they are but
    If #3 has an iconic beard, then #3 needs a beard and some better clothes if those clothes are iconic as well.
    #4 is a no.




  • Have had both. Still have Sailfish because the phone is cheaper.
    Also I thought Ubuntu Touch would be discontinued and I no longer use Ubuntu on my desktop,
    but an Arch-based OS.
    Best thing you can do is buy a phone that’s most compatible to the OS.

    So Fairphone 5 or Pixel 3a for Ubuntu Touch,
    and Jolla 2 for the Sailfish.

    Do not buy Pine64.
    Pine64 is unusable.
