Thankfully Fedora retracted the 32 bit proposal.

I think you’re right, and they may be exaggerating a bit. From what I can tell, this would be almost act like a 4th setting between power-save and on-demand mode, so you still get most of the benefits of power-save mode, but without the need to switch back to on-demand when you do something intense.

It gathered 160k signatutes in 3 days thanks to all the new press, hopefully we can keep up the momentum.

I suspect a VM would introduce latency (big no no for music production), and I can’t imagine getting ASIO working would be easy (though I’ve never tried it).

According to WineHQ, Ableton’s compatibility with wine isn’t stellar. FL Studio works quite well in it, but switching DAWs can be a pretty major undertaking.

For Linux native DAWs, Reaper and Bitwig are the two best options. Reaper is the most affordable at 60 bucks, with an infinite free trial.

Since that video was posted, there’s actually been a swell of support thanks to some big youtubers making videos about it. It’s already gotten 100k signatures in 2 days, so all hope may not be lost!

One possibility is using it exclusively to access its grammatik grammer checker as a non-AI and non-subscription based alternative to ProWritingAid or Grammarly.

Otherwise, it’s still genuinely a solid option for those who want to do word processing in a terminal, which is a niche use case, but some people are into that. Perhaps as a distraction free writing environment.

TrilliumNext Notes is a great one.

Coincidentally, I made a post about the merits of replacing ProWritingAid or Grammarly with Grammatik, a grammar checker from 1998.

More info here.

GRRM uses WordStar 4.0, an even older and more arcane DOS word processor from 1987.

I don’t disagree that it ended badly, but had the movement not been pacified by the government’s bait of reform and a new constitution, it could’ve been revolutionary.

Your people showed the incredible potential of collective power and collective civil disobedience. The documentary shows both the victories, and the failures to learn from, just as Hong Kong did.

The political system is completely fucked. I think going grassroots with direct action is currently the best way to both resist, and build horizontal decentralized power that isn’t prone to corruption.

1. find local communities and get involved to make connections
2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This targets the establishment’s income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
3. Contact a union and attempt to unionize your workplace so that the general strike is even more effective (plus, ya know, better pay and working conditions as a bonus!)

This method would not only work in the US, but anywhere in the world.

Union Suggestions:

• 🌍 Global: IWW (Français) - (Español)
• 🇦🇷 Argentina: FORA
• 🇦🇺 Australia: ASF-IWA
• 🇧🇷 Brazil: FOB
• 🇧🇬 Bulgaria: ARS, CITUB
• 🇩🇪 Germany: FAU
• 🇬🇷 Greece: ESE
• 🇮🇹 Italy: USI
• 🇳🇱 🇧🇪 Netherlands & Belgium: Vriji Bond
• 🇪🇸 Spain: CNT
• 🇸🇪 Sweden: SAC
• 🇬🇧 United Kingdom: UVW

4. Continuing to participate in publicly visible resistance demonstrations like 50501 (the next one is July 17th) to encourage others to stand up with you and prove to that there are millions of others who will join them in the fight. A large part of Nazi Germany’s success in taking over the country was a lack of massive public demonstrations against the new regime, making people feel helpless and afraid to take a stand.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Look at how effective these methods were when used in Chile in 2019.. If we completely reject the political system and rebel on a mass scale, there is NOTHING they can do to stop us.

Highly recommend Linux Mint. It’s the most beginner friendly, smooths things over, has a great app store, and will make you feel mostly at home.

It’s a fun little game. Def worth grabbing if you haven’t played it.

It’s quite possible these guns really are just going off due to stacked tolerances. ForgottenWeapons did a good video on the theory.

It used to be a fork of Mint offering the desktops they dropped, but since they switched to Debian as the base, I don’t know of any reason to pick it over Debian itself, it’s pretty pointless, AFAIK.

Some parts of it are rougher than others, but I’d say it can still be pretty fun.

You can sometimes find good quality used cookware from thrift stores (goodwill, habitat for humanity, etc).

For new, Costco has some pretty good deals on stainless steel pots and pan sets from I think Tramontina. They’re pretty highly regarded, and should be a BIFL. I bought a small set of them, and can confirm they’re pretty great.

Consider directing that rage into the methods seen in the Chile documentary in my first response (I edited it in, so you may not have seen it).

I think it’s good to be prepared for a civil war scenario, but we should be doing everything we can to avoid one.

Don’t be a hostage of the gun… But have one and know how to use it well.

Unfortunately, the liberal party in Germany ultimately became complicit with the Nazi party.

Our current democratic party is completely corporate captured, and do not have any ethical fortitude to stand against the regime. They are cowards who will take the easy path, even at the expense of us all.
