There IS reason for preinstallation, there are many people out there who lack the passion to research Linux, and would gravitate towards the familiar - Steam, in the case of gamers. The point is to make a switch away from Windows as unproblematic for as many people as possible. Also, Valve is developing a desktop version of Arch SteamOS.

Making an OS easy to use in everyday life is the key to mass adoption. If the EU wants to get away from Microsoft’s garden, that means advertising valid options to people who aren’t attuned to Linux.

Money isn’t the issue for SteamOS, it is awareness and making it available as an pre-installed option on consumer PCs. The EU could create standardized pamphlets about Fedora, Red Hat, and SteamOS, mandating stores to present that digestable information to consumers so that they know what flavor is best for their usecase.

Ideally, that would be part of their initiative. There are multiple angles that can be taken to encourage Linux adoption. Standards for formal documentation and technical support options are two prongs on the same trident.

Linux isn’t very good for the casual person at this time, due to conflicting, dated, or missing documentation. If people are to be encouraged to adopt Linux, it should be toward distributions that have official technical support.

Hopefully the French will also endorse Fedora, Red Hat, and Valve’s SteamOS. Microsoft is a huge security issue, since it isn’t clear whether MS would bend to DOGE’s whims. The NLRB and other aspects of the US government had DOGE set up accounts, which were accessed within 15 minutes by Russia.

I don’t think Kamela lost due to her gender. It is because she had no legitimacy since there was no primary to sort the chaff from the wheat, and she simply didn’t have enough time to effectively campaign. Plus, bad advisors who wanted her to play by the standard Geronocrat playbook. Walz was carrying Kamela, until he was muzzled from pointing out how ghastly the Magat menace was.

Freedom is black folks being able to shoot Klanners who try to burn down their homes. The 2nd Amendment isn’t just for pricks.

Yeah. There was a time I merely thought the other side was misguided, but would see reason if we talk. That isn’t how it works. Bullies only recognize power, and one should know when to speak their language.

Hell no. You want us to surrender to evil people.

I am skeptical about your assertion about needing a dude. So how about a compromise? Both AOC and Bernie primary for president, putting the other on the ticket as their VP. If one of them is defeated, they hand over their voters to their counterpart. The best candidate wins, and we get a fully progressive ticket.

Agreed.

CGP Grey: Your social security card is insecure.

It isn’t even a fun harem. No dancing ladies or neat see-through clothing, just an IVF jar and a botched penis implant.

You probably should ask the Covert Cabal channel on Youtube about this. They specialize in counting Russian armored assets - how many are still in storage, the rate tanks vanish, and so forth. They ought to know specialists and how to get the most cost-effective footage.

I wouldn’t be surprised if CC someday covers concentration camps, seeing as how the Trump Regime is an Russian organ.

…honestly, I probably should buy some cigars or cigarettes from Wish or something. The way America is going, those will buy a lot of food and things when the American Dollar implodes from all of the fuckery.

We will need a whole new SSA computer system, just to kill this question dead. Same goes for EVERY department. Some 20 years from now, I guess DOGE would have fulfilled its original mission of updating American computer infrastructure, in the most stupid and malicious way possible.

That is why AOC is there on the ticket. VPs exist to take over if the president kicks the bucket.

Bluntly, we need good people in office. While I definitely support reforms to force age and term limits on our politicians, that can only happen if good people are willing to change the system. The system is currently run by corrupt and fossilized politicians who won’t permit change. Getting good people into office is required for positive change.

This takes time, one where a Bernie-AOC presidency can enable. Bernie and AOC, unlike the likes of Pelosi, will allow younger and progressive people to take leadership roles throughout government. It will take at least 10 years to replace the old guard - a two term progressive presidency just isn’t enough for that sort of generational shift.

I would like both Bernie and AOC to run for president, each with the other as their VP. Either winning would improve America.

Ideally, we get Bernie-AOC for 2028 and 2032, then AOC + ??? for 2036 and 2040. This nation is in dire need of dedicated progressive leadership, considering how far right the ship has tilted.

Al Greene, Jasmine Crockett, Tim Walz, and Saikat Chakrabarti. When Trump starts to openly murder American citizens, I expect many fired military leaders will suddenly be leading National Guards.

AOC should team up with Blue State governors to campaign solely in their states, with their protection. Trump WILL try to dispose of her, it is only a matter of time. Having a state’s National Guard to protect her from Dogey goons will be key to allowing AOC to continue working against the regime.
