  • Highlighting the issue through all the propaganda isn’t exactly nothing.

    It doesn’t take all that much for the plebs to understand how much they outweigh the ruling class. And that they can end it if they choose to do so.

    The propaganda machine is huge and fickle, it takes a lot of constant work to maintain it. It can crumble quickly if it gets hit or can’t work properly no longer (proper foss media).


  • I mean, can’t even compare, it’s nowhere near yet, but we are definitely fast-tracking to the USA system.

    Step 1: The public sector is underfunded for decade+ bcs various austerity measures and low profit taxes & increasing loopholes. This bleeds not only tech purchasing but workforce too (to either private health sector or completely unrelated sectors with low wages).
    Step 2: Insurance businesses are massively stepping up their offers & are directly buying healthcare providers (with market consolation happening there anyway) to ensure claim cost control.
    Step 3: Make it necessary for everyone to depend on private sector healthcare & have private insurance.

    Luckily the water wars, mass migrations, and other more-or-less-world wars will get us sooner.



  • My grandparents (now 90+) didn’t care much when I would change their distro, they are currently on Tumbleweed (just bcs thats what I decided to run on everyones computer I’m asked to maintain).

    I would keep their general experience about the same for their use case (same desktop/desktop dock shortcuts, same browser ofc).

    But yeah, Fedora (def Silverblue) or wherever you are familiar with.
    (Lol, I never actually tried Mint myself, but that too - like a modern Ubuntu alternative)
