I don't game much but I'd try to stay closer to the debian ecosystem, or one of the more well-known distros. There are a lot of cases where there's a debian and ubuntu installer for something and otherwise you gotta compile or hope for an appimage or flatpak. Ubuntu's out because snaps are horrible, although you can get rid of those. Personally I install debian on all my boxes. It's a really minimal distro and things tend to go pretty fast because of that. Debian or I hear Fedora's great.

They say "never shit a shitter", but apparently it should be "always shit a shitter".

The animal industries have their own lobbying and disinformation campaigns. The pro-corporate media environment is an inextricable part of capitalist society. Their CEOs and those of Exxon et al are all basically saying "we're doing what we're permitted to do, it's your job to reign us in for any social good whatsoever". Any rational actor in a society that permits this will do this if given the opportunity. They're products of their environment. Sometimes they'll get ratioed on X, and agree to some small concession, a mere unconscious twitch of the power of the people causing multibillion $ companies to yelp in terror.

In a way, he's right. You can't expect a trillion dollar private company to do anything but maximize profits any way they can get away with. It's in the interest of the public to overthrow capitalism and the responsibility falls on us to understand this and do this. ExxonMobil exists with the consent of the masses.

I skimmed it. I don't need convincing that NYT are lying hacks. It's pretty small potatoes imo compared to their usual shenanigans https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_New_York_Times_controversies

I thought by the headline they were talking about this https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/

Usually NYT can be found with their lips on the metaphorical ring of the neoliberal western order, so if they're not full-throated in support of one of its champions, that's a little interesting but not very.

they can toe the fascist line.

TLDR they're somehow not kissing Biden's ass enough for Salon, no mention of leaks or fabricated stories

I've been riding one pretty hard for my job for half a decade. It's pretty nice actually, I like the 2-axis touch scrolling. I wish it had a middle click, it's way too expensive, and last time I tried to get it working with Linux it was a fucking nightmare.

Soulseek is good for downloading albums and discographies, soundiiz, qobuz-dl and deemix-gui are good for that and also playlists of whatever. It's also a good way to get FLACs. I download genre mixes, pitchfork's top albums, it's a good way to get 80gb of music in a night. It's taken me 3 months to get that much off Soulseek. Sometimes you want to try out artists without downloading their whole discography.
