    No one in the Linux community wants to force users onto Linux. If they do that, then they are morons and should not be listened to.

    Windows is blatantly forced on users through monopolistic practices and underhanded dealings going back decades.

    I know what I actively will choose. Also it is my choice. It doesnt have to be your choice or even the right choice. Choose what you want and what you need. No one in the Linux community can or will force you to switch to Linux.

    For some of us, X11/Xorg is better , way way better than using Wayland.

    Linux means we should have a choice without sacrificing our freedom. So if I want to use X11/Xorg or Wayland, I SHOULD MAKE THAT DECISION.

    Looking at the garbage trash fire that is systemd.

    Only way I can get SysVInit back is if I use Slackware, Devuan , so a complete switch of distro and tools. No choice no freedom.


  • I can tell you for a fact, in 1999, we were running Windows3.11 and MSDOS 5.x on a brand-new Pentium II ? or something like that, because the DSP-board and daughter-card system didn’t like Win2k. We were all on the network. Everyone ran Win2k Pro while loading the test codes via network / SMB/CIFs share to that machine.

    Same could be done using Linux on all those systems except for the test rig.

    NO YOU DO NOT have to use Windows on your desktop just for your toolchain. Put that shit on a separate test-rig and isolate it.

    Best Practices and Good Standard procedures makes it possible to use Linux on the Desktop.

    It is a matter of ability and talent to do things properly using the best tools at any given time.

    Swyers disease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_gonadal_dysgenesis

    A Genetically-born XY person with fully developed female-organs and no visible male-organs hence failed to go through male-puberty remaining for all intents and purposes female-adjacent.

    The Olympics committee via Scientific investigation have determined that Swyers disease persons are essentially female from birth including physical characteristics hence an exception has been made to be allowed in the Olympics female category for participation.

    Trans-persons are still not allowed in the Olympics female category no exceptions.


  • If you make promises during campaigning as the Democrat nominee, but fail to implement it in your entire term, expect the worst kind of outcome after. You might not care, but people do remember. And NO if DRUMPF doesnt keep his promises, there are a legion of real convicted felons who will ensure someones promises are kept, Drumpf is the symptom, the RNC/DNC is the disease. If Corpo dems do not get the eff out of politics, the next election will ensure there will be no more need for either party.

    Times Up 'Murica. Git gud or FAFO.








  • Are those Golden-Orb Weaver spiders ? Those things make MASSIVE webs that can catch small birds!

    Also if you live in the tropics, either be friendly and cool and dont disturb them Or be gentle and cool and DONT disturb them. It is quite easy to pick off their web strands and let them rebuild a different layout not going across human paths.

    In my young age I have handled these in the wild where very few humans tend to wander around. Unless you panic and try to squish them, they tend to be very docile and not at all aggressive. These things are very okay building in urban areas as much as in forests.

    Not all spiders are equal. So treat nature with respect and stay the heck away unless you are some kind of scientist or specialist in spiders.


  • India is a very corrupt democracy. As an Indian, I can tell you that sports are inherently corrupted to the degree in which money flows into it. For example, cricket is a sport rife with corruption to the point that the entire world cricket organizations and matches and tournaments are all suspect due to the heavy involvement of Indian corruption spreading its vile degenerate fingers into everything cricketing worldwide.

    The only way you can trust anything here is if there is an independent individual measuring system that is completely corruption immune and resistant to external influences.

    For example, physics, chemistry or scientific measurements. If a boxer is doping or throwing their fights etc. You can measure for those.




  • By raiding and gutting SocialCare, Medicaid and Medicare and government emergency funds, the US Govt and State govt and other govt orgs have been running up the debt like crazy. Only way that debt and spending continues is by having a working population that steadily grows and increases each individual output while cutting back what they can consume.

    Starvation wages and rampant inflation is easy way for govt and private orgs to extract wealth from the working populace.
