The @ was commonly used by Spanish progressives about 10 years ago, but it has since been superceded by the 'e' because... you can actually say it lol

I'm trying out Arch on my laptop atm, and tbh the only real advantage (at least for me) is that the packages tend to be a lot fresher than on Debian-based distros. The question is how many of your packages you really need to be that fresh.

I think a lot of Arch users feel like wizards because they connected to the home wifi using the command line, but if you've tinkered with (/broken then had to fix lol) other distros, you will have done all this stuff before

This government is 100% going to crack down very hard on the mob (including antifa, just wait and see) while implicitly agreeing with everything the fash are saying. I'm sure that won't make matters any worse!

Jonathan Pryce received a fair bit of criticism in the nineties for his "politically correct" (read, not explicitly antisemitic) portrayal of Fagin in the musical Oliver!. Listening back to the cast recording, it's actually a revelation — Reviewing the Situation, which had always been played for antisemitic laughs, is suddenly revealed as an incredibly powerful song, brimming with pathos.

Between 1880 to 1920, British colonial policies in India claimed more lives than all famines in the Soviet Union, Maoist China and North Korea combined.

Ah The British Empire - somehow even more evil than you expected, every damned time

Just accept that the podcast class are a necessary evil who will have to be [redacted] once they fulfill their historic purpose, and you can stop worrying about this sort of thing

Yes I agree 100%. There's no other way to do it.

For 'pro-business' read 'swingeing privatisation' but yeah the whole thing is a mess, and I'm not sure it's possible to have 'free and fair' (whatever that means) elections under such conditions.

Wrt reasons to doubt the result, electronic vote counting/voting machines are reason enough imho — but that throws a load of other democracies into question 🤷
