This article was written around 6 months ago and it seems prescient to reflect on our future OS options/habits as we are currently sorting out our online community clusterfuck/fuck you Spez. I feel like many of us have felt the motivation to branch out into a flavor of Linux OS and have read about the brave who took the step only to come back and say "games don't work" or that you need be a hackerman to run such a setup. Interesting light content to munch on and would love to hear from any brave pioneers who switched and are liking it. Better to start thinking on this now than in a year and change when so many of us will be corralled into the stocks and pushed into Windows 11.
The DNC in general is what happens if you made a party that focuses only on messaging because doing actual things misses the point. They are utterly convinced that the way to victory is running right down the middle because the centrist position is where you have to make the least meaningful changes (or at least delver on them). Harris and Walz had a window but it disappeared once they committed to the "do nothing message." It's the same message Biden ran on with "nothing will fundamentally change."
The recent overtures of Dems like Newsom are a furtherance of this rhetoric and belief, and his shift to the right is to where they now see the middle. Dems aren't a party. They're a fundraising apparatus. And that's why the majority have no meaningful opposition to contribute. The funds raise themselves with a shell of a candidate running for president or a fascist in that same office, which is why they seem so unconcerned.
It's to their own peril and the peril of us all, but there isn't going to be a change to these peoples hearts. They are only there to serve themselves and be the alternate choice. They were never driven by fundamentally held ideals or values. People are confused why so few Dem politicians have risen to the moment but they have. You're looking at what the Dem opposition looks like and what these people are truly capable of. It's the highest form of their art.
