"Straight for the gonads", but in tech oligarchy speak is "straight for the ad revenue".

So there's this thing called the finance industry. They're basically smiling nervously, standing in front of this giant balloon, saying the like "don't look over here!" And "it's not going to burst, we promise".

Let's look in on one of them know...

"...then you pay some stupid goon to completely screw the economy, they get lynched and you walk off Scott free. It was going to crash when that whole neo colonialism schtick would inevitably fail anyway. This will accelerate the crash, so people won't notice even."

"Yes, I'd like to sniff more cocaine off an orphan femur. How did you know?"

The most stable. The best at being stable.

You have to understand. THC is psychoactive. Certain strains that are low in CBD (the antipsychotic) and high in THC can trigger latent conditions, such as paranoia, psychosis, etc.

But, they can also be triggered by alcohol, having a brisk walk, etc.

Because McCarthyism is well and alive.

After 7 decades of fear mongering which has trained the US constituency to not up go left of neo liberal, which - incidentally - is slightly right from center, we see that the only path is further right... into Naziism.

The neo liberals don't know what to do, because they too wanna go further right, because they're fucking neo-liberals.

For me, it's a perfectly fitting compromise, because Fedora is a community that is detached from RedHat and IBM, but it is also the best distribution out there.

They are pushing the envelope and have been for some time. If it weren't for Fedora devs we wouldn't have seen Wayland, PipeWire, Nouveau, etc be pushed to the general public. Also Fedora a libre distribution built by community. If that were ever to change they'd hemorrhage devs.

Compare that with Ubuntu. They want a vendor lock-in via Snaps (and in one point in time Mir), they're currently replacing coreutils (copyleft) with uutils (copyright) and have what I would say is a pretty bad and convoluted GPU stack.

OpenSuSE could probably be a better alternative, if they took the Linux desktop seriously. But they play second fiddle to Fedora and have not even been close enough to push the envelope like Fedora has.

In conclusion Fedora is the best libre Linux distributions out there.

Now if Eelco Doolstra wasn't fucking around, we could have had a super LTS NixOS - but NOOOO.

I stood in line for VHS tapes. I also know that the blockchain is slow as hell and that cryptocurrency is glorified gambling for people with too much money - and I had a friend in the early 2000s that was trying to make a Bitcoin exchange.
