This is literally a post of someone trying to find a workaround for a problem that only exists on windows.... A question was asked and an appropriate answer given, if you refuse to accept the answer, thats on you, go read a different post

Democrats are also conservatives. If you allow the oligarchs and aristocrats to choose who represents you then they will always choose candidates who rule in their interest. You can't change this system by playing within the ruleset you're given. Democratic power can only ever be wielded by unions of workers and communes of citizens. Those organizations combine and concentrate the power of regular people and can effectively wield this against the ruling class.

I'm going to give you two because I pretty much only read nonfiction and I can't decide.

Outlaws Inc Which is a lot of fun tales of the adventures of post-soviet aerial smugglers.

The other is Topsoil and Civilization which you can request a copy of here. This is about how all (from memory) great civilizations have collapsed in part due to the degradation of their topsoil. Its very good, highly relevant, and many years ago started me on the life path I'm now on

Preinstalled on consumer hardware like Chromebooks in every school or for some unfathomable reason some of the nursing homes I work with?

Where I live in Australia, 1 hour out of Sydney, I would pay that for 1/3 the data at 1/3 the speed. Went with starlink instead.

There are 7 million dead people who I'm sure would argue that point if they could. Do you think a respiratory disease spreads through some other means? Or do you just not understand anything about the situation?

Yeah and dickheads without a clue or a sense of morality will continue to take other peoples lives to save themselves a minor inconvenience. Murica!

How about we start by making the whole thing less of a rort to prop up the power companies? I get 7c/kw for the 40-odd kw i make in the day and then pay 38c/kw to buy it back at night.

I had a pile of old parts of all sorts of machines sitting in some boxes. Was poking through and thought "hang on"... Bing bang boom threw some bits together and built a new PC to run a jellyfin media server on Mint. Don't even know what most of the parts are...

I've been using various distros for the past 6 months trying to find the right fit for my work. I do remote desktop support of many windows based enterprises.

I use Linux desktop every single day for 8 hours. I also play games of all sorts.

KDE neon was what I had when I started out and it was great. Zero problems. There's no reason you'd ever need CLI in plasma desktop that I can see. Fedora/plasma is a no go. Too complex with selinux and you really do need to know what you're doing. Still quite usable for 90% of day to day

For the past month I've been on mint 21 and have had zero issues and zero CLI time. Been enjoying baldurs gate 3 out of the box, using outlook, teams, various browsers and whatnot. Not going to give a comprehensive list here, but everything works perfectly and almost everything has been installed straight from the software manager.

I'm not just going to downvote you here, because I think this is an information problem.

Here's a cool video about mask efficacy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GndKYJ4uBI

And a study on the topic: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7106e1.htm

The tl:dr is that masks are ac5ually extremely effective at reducing infection by respiratory diseases if both the infected and uninfected parties wear them.
