Oh no, poor Donnie! You want Elon to come and suck your toes? (I heard it’s something the cishets do, they’re weird like that)

He’s probably a grade-A bootlicker for the fascists, specifically for those sucking each-others’ toes in the White House. Conservatives and cis-people tend to be weird like that I’ve heard. Which is good for those in charge, as the people crave for TikTok for its druglike addictive qualities and thus the current King (bless His orange visage) in the White House (long may He reign) would get more of the people’s approval, while having bootlickers like these dudes in charge of it He’d also appease the zionists’ thirst to kill, rape, pillage, burn, enact genocide and rule over every muslim and muslim territory in the area, specifically right now the Palestinians, unimpeded, by blocking everything that even slightly smells of being pro-Palestine.

Indeed. But does it really matter who sells who which area of land, with all the people and other natural resources contained within the area, if it just leads to a future where the rich stay rich, the people (of the areas) stay poor, and the bombings never cease?

As to the question: a desolate, corporation-owned and capitalistically-ran dystopian hellscape apparently?

Yeah, I don’t care and never will care how good of a product some fucking capitalist techpig has created. I am that kind of a person who feels nauseous when confronted with AI-slop on the internet, like on youtube or something. Just now I uninstalled Firefox and removed my mozilla account because it seemed to me that they are going to turn completely fascist (considering how they force AI and other capitalist shit on you) any moment now.

So yeah, you’ve outed yourself as either an uninformed or misinformed useful idiot for the capitalists, or a willing bootlicker. I suggest you get up to speed on the goings-on in the world and what you should be doing in order to fight it. Like survival in the woods, how to operate high-calibre firearms, and the means to produce explosives and/or incendiaries. Or, you know, stop complying with what the capitalists tell you to accept - stuff like AI, always online DRM, internet of things…

I’m pretty sure it’s because of the unironic recommendation of something as shitty and - more importantly - capitalist as an AI. That’s why I’m downvoting at least. Welcome to Linux though.

Ok so this is the worst thing I can think of, mainly because now there will be an absolute metric assload of an influx of newbies to Linux with the reading comprehension of a fucking toddler (ie. the entire fanbase of this fucknut whose probably apparently still a fucking nazi or something? Don’t know, never could stand him) flooding forums and other places after some “artificial intelligence helper” of some megacorporation told them to “sudo rm -rf /” or something. Let’s just hope they’ll mostly stick to everywhere else but here

Gonna have to go with alcohol and benzodiazepine abuse for this one, basically because it’s the only one that I have beaten (citation needed). Only one relapse in the past 10-ish years or so! Though it took a few relationships with it, and I’ve gone through multiple hospitalizations (some even voluntarily), and because of that combo and all the other shit that was going on in my head (not to mention the cocktail of SSRIs and eventual SNRIs like Effexor at max dosage combined with stuff like Seroquel at max dosage for literal years, of which Effexor is still the bane of my existence; and stuff like ECT) there’s like this hazy quality in my own past for me. As if I’m talking about someone else. I can’t even remember most of my life from around 2013-2018 or so.

I’d say the worst part about abusing benzos with alcohol is how good it feels. I still have the cravings. Like even now I’d be up for it. That combined with the fact that it only brings out the worst in me, every narcissistic and sosiopathic tendency is not only brought forth but amplified also. And it’s unhealthy in general.

So if you don’t happen to die in your sleep; once you wake up and realize just how many people you’ve hurt, when the full weight of your own actions and the coming consequences descend upon you, you just might hope that you did. Vice, thy name is me

The type of language spoken in that general area (along with at least one neighboring town) is considered “the purest” in the nation, as it has the least regional differences compared to anywhere else, so much so that the nation’s most famous composer’s wife (herself an accomplished academic) used to live there back in the day to study the language.

Well, here’s hoping it will get bad enough soon enough for most all of people realizing what is wrong with the world, and whose fault most bad things happening is.

Yes, I agree, and I do believe the kid’s parents would also agree. And it’s not like the kid is given free reign to roam the internet, looking for the most cancerous, brain rotting, worst AI-slob the internet can provide, no. It’s more like a TV basically, with age appropriate shows running in the background, and in our own language no less. He basically seems to occasionally take like a breather of sorts, stopping for something to bite or a sip of his milk or whatever, before running along with his childish endeavors.

But yeah, absolutely. Too much screentime in early childhood can and will lead to developmental delays, and in order to raise the optimal human being one should optimize every aspect of the child’s life, adjusting at optimal intervals all according to the child’s personal development. But you know, life doesn’t work like that. And yet, as I just stated to the comment you replied to, I am thankful for your concern; we’re all trying to do our best for this kid. If my little gift of an old laptop can bring joy and happiness into that little dude’s life, that is basically enough for me.

I really don’t want to start arguing against this sentiment, because I agree with it. But the kid in question is not my son, and however much I personally don’t agree with using a screen as much as my friends have with the kid, I also understand why it has come to this (that the kid’s parents had decided to use a screen to calm him down, which it does) and how different peoples’ life situations can be. Also it’s not like he’s completely swallowed by the bright lights and colours and noises the screen provides, at least as far as I can tell, as whenever I am or anyone else is around he likes to do other things as well (such as playing with his physical toys or engaging in other activies kids like to do, such as climbing furniture and doing somersaults and stuff) though I’m obviously not there all the time. Also he goes to daycare where the screentime is minimized I assume, and more emphasis is given to social education and stuff.

And this laptop wouldn’t even be his first, this would be basically an upgrade over the old, beaten-up laptop his dad has had laying around.

So yes, thank you (all of you, other comments as well) for your concern for this child’s wellbeing. We will continue doing what we can towards doing the best we can with the information we have at the given moment.

Yeah that’s part of the plan already, actually! Because that HDD is like real old

Yeah, I’ve considered Fedora a few times while distrohopping. But I didn’t ask that.

Oh yeah, that sounds good. He’s a smart kid already, for sure, and his dad is an old nerd (like me tbh, except 10 years my senior) so yeah, might just do something like this… But maybe at first keep it as a Youtube-machine, until he learns to speak and comprehend more stuff. But thank you for the idea, though! Really didn’t consider this before.

Weird (but not really unexpected) that Chrome uses less RAM in this case. I think I’ll consider this too, thanks!

Just realized it’s 14 not 16, but yeah I actually used that thing for gaming! Even games that were kinda new back then, up until Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor which ran at like 10 FPS. Thankfully I got enough money to buy and build my first desktop after that. Which served me faithfully for some 10ish years with no upgrades, even running RDR2 (with graphics so low it could be considered minus), which actually kinda surprised me!

Addendum: I should add that the distro should be Debian or Arch based basically (as these are the ones I know best, or have the most experience with), because if something doesn’t work (for some reason) I will be the one debugging it, and I kinda don’t want to learn a new distro and its quirks in order to do so. Because I’m lazy like that. So I’m gravitating towards maybe Manjaro or L/Xubuntu.

that kind of careful lawyering takes time

This is advanced skullduggery!

But yeah, no one was ever going to do anything about anything. Why would they? It’s not like they actually care about you people. And it’s not like my country isn’t a trainwreck on fire sinking fast into a swamp, but at least our cops are given an education longer than that of a barber’s before being given a position of authority, with deadly force to enforce. But, given how much my country nowadays loves to ape whatsoever daddy Amerikkka has done or is doing (I’m looking at you currently-being-privatized once-public healthcare and fascists in the government!), I ain’t exactly holding out hope for the future of our police force.

That was 5 years ago. What’s with the fucking hold up; the fat, doughnut-eating, trigger-happy, right-wing gun-nut, klan-members that are the police force there didn’t wanna agree to not systematically discriminate and/or use excessive force, huh?
