Hereis my take: Democracies tend to be able to peacefully coexist, make compromise and cooperate. Because most people doesn’t want to go to war. Most people want prosperity and share it rather than die for it. As long as there are non-democracies or poorly working democracies around, you’re gonna have to fight to not loose what you have. Concentrate power and you are more likely to have to go to war. Cause the few peope with unchecked power does not care about you or your grandma.

Only when the powerhungry feel emboldened enough, do they start conflicts. So it is a prerequsite to have to group up with someone, to messure up against whoever they intend to steal from.

From my perspective; it is generally democracies, that tend to more reflect the will of the people, that are constantly defending against oportunistic dictators that want to shape the world to exploit their- and others peope, to their personal benefit.

In prosperous times, dictators are not so aggressive, but in less prosporous times, they tend to need to start conflicts. They have nothing to personally loose from it. If they have nukes, they don’t even have to fear assasination when they mess with everyone on the globe.

GOG tends to be my prefered source of games. DRM free and i have the option of making my own backups. I never felt the need to though. And i love the convenience of being able to download my games.

If people have a good internet connection, they prefer the convenince of downloading their games.

edit: a sizable portion of people

Well, it’s illegal with very heavy punishments to blame putin or the war.

Of course I would not be very surprised if trump tried to make criticism or insult aimed towards him illegal.

I fear bad health, not cause what other sees, but cause how it will affect my quality of life. I also fear pain. I never feared getting chubby. It was never an obstacle to social interactions. I say eat what you want, don’t overdo it. If your doctor tells you to stop, then follow their recommendations. I don’t think it’s ever a great idea to engage in self destructing behaviour, such as smoking, no matter your age. Avoid messing up your body, and the chances for a happier life goes up.

Well, putin won’t have any personal consequences. So he is alright.

Are they maping exact cable locations so they can sever them easily later, when it suits them?

Lots of flat space maybe. Or they are just claiming the territorial water that way. Idk.

Well I did write down that I was going to win a billion money and move to the moon. I have much less faith in gambling now though.

Yea, troubleshooting is not that fun. That is why I would just abandon a piece of software that gives me trouble. As long as there is an alternative.

It is not recommended to paste things blindly. I would double check every command that is suggested. Chatgpt is good at it, in the sense that it usually gives something that looks alright and works. Sometimes it doesn’t even make sense. But instead of composing the commandline from scratch, I take what it gave me and look up what each switch does. It saves time and I am bad at figuring out how some commands are formated, based on the man file.

Yea chatgpt is great at this. Yea, installing stuff can be confusing some times. Happens more rarely in windows. Pick the method that is easiest for you. If it does not work right away, use an alternative software. The more popular, the better support and ease of use. Hopefuly Valves efforts in linux gaming and microsofts crackdown on privacy, pushes more people towards linux. Only the future will tell where this is going. I remain optimistic.

I have a feeling that they are planning to use the survivng ukranian women and children for something.

Oh so this is why russian ammo dumps are always blowing up.

How do we get more mass surveillance? I know! Lets make up a reason why we should implement it. Children!

I want this as a wallpaper. Scan my eyes over a large area of this stuff sounds fun.

GNU\Linux awareness is a good thing for everyone! If everone was aware; we would have better alternatives across the board.

So now they will have nk blocking troops, so they can free up some of the current ones.

It’s xen. This simple piece compels the viewer to wonder whether this is after gordon has passed this island or if he is just to arrive. And will he arrive via long-jump or a crackling spark in space time? Makes you think.

And the average lifespan of a cat, listed on the cat article of wikipedia, is 13 years. Coincidence?

Civilized places outlaw corporeal punishments of children. So jail should be the thing disuading crazies from engaging in it.
