Add up the large individual contributions and the PAC contributions.

Is that larger or smaller than the small individual contributions %?

Is the small individual contributions greater or lesser than 50%? Keep in mind that to be the “majority” you must have more than 50%.

As someone who has never done any serious coding work or collaboration, hadn’t touched Linux in 18+ years and am really only fluent in windows and Mac, and with limited time to get up to speed, I fucking love opinionated guides.

Tell me exactly what to do to get it up and running. Let me learn along the way, but don’t expect me to be able to read and understand the pros and cons of lets encrypt vs other solutions.

I simply do not have the requisite base knowledge to make informed decisions on this.

If you wanna leave it up to me how to do a golden gate assembly, quick change reaction, or a gibson assembly, I can handle that.

Understanding the nuance of docker networking, reverse DNS,maintaining SSL, and just generally how to make it so I can use a hostname and not an IP address to access my services locally is something I want to learn. Eventually.

It’s not that your critiques of guides are invalid, but they may just not be structured for general learning. And their target audience is temporarily ignorant fools like myself.

Have you not been paying any attention?

THEY FUCKING ESCALATE WITHOUT AN EXCUSE ALL THE TIME.

Where is this bullshit “oh guys let’s not agitate them it might make it worse”

THERE’S NOT MUCH WORSE THAN LOSING FREE ELECTIONS

ESCALATE. FIGHT. FUCK THEM.

There’s definitely hope that it synergises with what’s going on due to the steam deck.

Personally, I can’t wait to buy two controllers and the machine. The flawless experience of the deck is amazing. And because it’s Linux, I’ll just install YouTube, jellyfin, any app as a non steam game and I’ll have the perfect smart tv appliance.

Stream games, play games, run any program I want through steam big picture - I can’t wait to bury my Shield.

I’ll never have to connect a tv to WiFi again. I’ll never see a fucking ad for anything on my TVs home screen again. With KDE connect my phone is a remote. I’m so fucking pumped.

I’m curious if you have recommendations on how to structure or keep the notes. I find that I struggle reading technical documentation or how to structure notes so they’re easy to refer to. Have any tips or guides you can share?

I’ll give this one go just on the off chance you’re being genuine - since you seem to have some sense of rationality to your position.

You’re wrongly underweighting the damage that will get done while the courts correct things. Yes, eventually the courts would restore broadcasting licenses. But there’s appeal after appeal after appeal. That could kill the stations even if ultimately they’d win. And don’t say that the licenses couldn’t be revoked in the first place. They did it to fucking science funding. Funding mandated by Congress just stopped, and Congress did nothing. Sure it’s coming back now. Kind of.

We know how this plays out already. And we can’t even count on the courts. The supreme Court has shown a total disregard for their duty with some of their rulings.

Like the executive order on birthright citizenship. Before the supreme Court the government didn’t even argue the legality. They said nationwide blocking orders were the real problem. The Court agreed.

Or the use of race or language as a cause for ice detention. Blatantly against the forum amendment and the Supreme Court said it’s fine. They’re snatching US citizens for fucks sake.

This is all easily searchable. If you really care about being rational and reasoned, you’ll put in the effort. This isn’t people desperately trying to be wrong. These are people that have seen what is likely to happen. They’ve updated their priors more accurately than you.

The other consideration it has is on net luggage weight. Yeah, they’re still checking bags for “free” but they’re smaller and lighter - saving fuel by increasing efficiency. And that’s also a good thing from a pollution point!

I think you’re confusing cause and effect. Pensions have been done for a while before people really embrace jumping ship constantly because it’s the only way to grow your wage.

If I was offered a pension, I’d be way less likely to jump ship every 3-4 years because management assholes only ever give a COLA 1-2% over inflation.

But…that’s the point. That’s why it’s brought up. It’s to show the ridiculousness and hypocrisy of their position.
