Yeah I agree, it’s not a very good graph. I just get frustrated when people ridicule the US political system for everything. We have a lot to fix (like what’s causing women to become more liberal), but I think we need to focus on what’s actionable and reasonable to fix. We can’t become +20 more liberal overnight.
The graph is about young people, not the entire population. Young people in America are historically more progressive than older people.
Also why does liberal and conservative have to be on an absolute scale? The words liberal and conservative seem to me at least be about pushing politics in one direction or another. Because policy is always subject to change, shouldn’t the words liberal and conservative be relative to the political system they exist within?
Umm, I don’t. We’re a Republic, always have been.
I think it was around the time of the windows 10 beta, I was trying that out and also dual booting with Linux mint.
I remember being a little frustrated with getting games to work great on Linux, but even more frustrated just using Windows. So I thought “Linux makes me less mad, I’m just going to use that”
I don’t see a problem viewing our current predicament a post apocalypse
Predicting the next century seems a bit much. But I’m glad they are experiencing success, I hope we all benefit from their discoveries.
“chown” is a command for changing the users and groups who own a file. But the options “775 xyz” are used with chmod, a command for changing what permissions the owners and groups have over a file. I’m not sure what you’re trying to do so I can’t tell what part of the command is wrong.
Either way you can run a command with elevated permissions by putting “sudo” in front of the command. Or by switching to the root user by using the command “su” or “sudo -i” (if you have sudo access, but don’t know the root password)
Bloat is just a meme, it comes from a time when sysadmins would need to optimize every aspect of a system to get the most out of it (like not using vi, because it took up too much space/memory). You will never need to get that much performance out of your machine.
I try not to install programs all willy nilly. If I want to try something new, I’ll fire it up in a vm. I mean this about programs from 3rd party sources, and compiling from source. Anything in the repos is good and will uninstall cleanly too.
On fedora you get more programs through RPMfusion. It’s sort of official, but also not. And you can also check out the copr repository, this is more like fedora’s aur. Opensuse’s open build service also sometimes has packages that work for red hat systems.
When I first started I wanted Linux to work just like Windows. It took me a while to shift my perspective to the way Linux people do things. I don’t know how to speed up that process though.
I can’t afford a Mac
I watched a video a little while ago , I think the only value winamp has is nostalgic and historical. If it was really open source maybe we could get a really good fork and that’s about it, I think. Maybe I’m missing the point, let me know I’m not very smart at this stuff.
