Hey there! My achievements are small, and I'm amazed at your level of organizing, but I also took part in something - I've helped organize locals against illegal construction site in the area. If they would push it, not only it would destroy our small and dear park, it would also severely stress water supply and cast a big shadow, breaking the laws on insolation norms (we live in a very cloudy city as it is).

We organized 24/7 watch and were not hesitant to call the police while others worked with papers and invited officials. As a result, the city governor has personally visited the place and the construction was banned. We were also offered financing to reorganize and improve the park, and are currently working on a makeover.

In the place where I live, people are generally politically passive, but this case has proven to me that even here, change can be achieved.

Being alive is the only time when you can influence something, and as such, when your actions mean something.

When you're dead, it's over. There could be an opportunity for you to make something better for others or for your own enjoyment - but now all chances are gone.

So, why letting go of this amazing ability?

My apologies, I missed that one!

This is probably going to seem wildly low-effort compared to my usual posts here

My man, you just compiled tons of obscure posters from the corners of the Internet. I admire your dedication, and this does take an effort.

That's a useful addition, thanks!

 

Hello there, fellow Linux folks!

So, having previously tried Arch and some of its derivatives, I've found it incredibly useful to have systemd showing processes when I turn my system on and off.

However, my current distro (OpenSUSE Slowroll) doesn't do this. Is there a way to enable it?

Just to open it gently

Short answer? I don't.

What if your worldview just happens to align neatly with your temperament, your social environment, or whatever gives you emotional relief?

It does. The things is, though - I happen to prominently share basic human values, such as kindness, mutual aid, cooperation, and care, all of which are normally seen as "good".

My social environment is very median, and I do understand the regular person as I am one. I know the struggles people in my group face, and am open-minded about struggles of others outside it.

I feel relieved in the world where people are good to each other, and if that's not what we strive for, then humanity has abandoned the very core of its own morals. When such basic things are betrayed, it's always a sign of corruption, an attempt to justify greed, or selfishness, or something else.

Then comes the critical examination of ideas that claim to lead us there, whether they could be contradictory and leave us with a very different place than we intended, either because not enough thinking went into original concept, or because it was a con to begin with, clearly serving the corrupt interest of the few.

Fair!

The vote resulted negatively, BTW, as far as I've heard. 32-bit are there for now.

Fedora is just a no-drama distro that works, and I love it

It's a very recent development, so no wonder you missed it. Yes, Pewdiepie went full Arch with Hyprland and made his Steam Deck into a server and I'm not even joking :D

Then it's a good thing he owns up to his mistakes? Maybe a group of Linux haters following him will change their mind as well.
