Star Trek literally started from ideas from 1940-1950s SciFi novels. I understand why star wars is more in the fantasy genre than anything, but I don’t understand the need for gatekeeping lol

Imagine releasing a movie in 2026 where writers have control of the writing. Also the set design is amazing, they really did a lot of work to keep CGI use to a minimum and when they did use CGI it was well done. I’ve been a long time fan of the book and I’m glad to see an adaption so well done

I agree they should pay in full, but let’s not pretend they wouldn’t just use that money for more war or something else unhelpful

So sick of the US’s neo liberals masquerading as left. A lot can change in a few years hopefully there will be enough change. In the end all that matters is if people wake up to the lies before it too late. It’s incredible how bad it has to get before people wake up.

The MAGA movement is crumbling but only time will tell if it’s enough. A lot of delusional neo liberals think things will just go back to normal if they get in office next term

FOSS is the way to go wherever possible but hosting your own email is honesty absurd at this point. I know some people do it but for regular mortals it’s not remotely an option.

Dehumanizing dangerous idiots and even down right evil selfish people is still wrong even if they are a dehumanizing cult faction. And it still ends in a net negative for humanity. That does not mean there is not justified consequences for people that cause harm.

Many of the MAGA people I’ve talked to irl are really really dumb and gullible in general, if it’s not MAGA it would be something else. People in power are using that as an attack vector to gain power.

Fascism has always been a movement of near slighted weaponized stupidity

That’s a good point, and I’d have to partly agree with it being lying. But only if I’m talking to arch enthusiasts or well versed linux enthusiasts.

If I’m talking with someone that only knows a few distro names saying you use arch gets what you are using across without having to explain what EndevourOS is. I don’t think it should be lumped in with other arch based distros that use their own repos either. The default config being so close to archinstall is one of the main reasons I switched

The people that support him only give him points when he does something they like, and don’t remove points when he does something they do not like. It’s an important part of the delusion and big surprise dogmatic religious people have trained their whole lives for this.

I’ve done full manual installs and archinstall installs of mainline arch and I would argue endevouros is arch. It’s more than just “arch based” it’s literally a basic arch install with calamaris. It updates from official arch repos and arch kernal ect.

While I only tell people I use endevouros I do not understand why anyone cares if an endevouros user says they use arch lol. What is the difference between that and something like archinstall besides slightly easier btrfs configs?

I’d consider CatchyOS to be in the arch based category but not EndevourOS

Yeah you’re probably right it’s probably about drugs too. They probably don’t like being undercut

It’s a war for oil and other resources they are just using drugs as a cover because it’s worked so well in the past.

I could see them using it a law they only enforce when they want to target someone.

I fully agree that the people doing the work are doing legit science and improving the world, and more than I ever have by doing so. All I am saying is I understand why people don’t trust the corporate companies paying the salary of those scientists.

Those companies will cut corners every chance they can if they think they can get away with it. My problem is with the profiteering ultra rich that push things out they know are harmful. I’m not saying vaccines are. I’m saying the same companies that own the vaccines are untrustworthy.

On top of that the idea that all of academia is holy and not controlled in the slightest by corporate greed is absurd.

Yeah. … but they are the same companies selling them this is well documented

I trust general doctors to be able to fix things like a broken arm, do test for known ailments ect. But I don’t trust them at all when it comes recommending treatment if the treatment is a pill being pushed.

And this is due to multiple personal experiences. the worst being given a near unlimited prescription opioids as a teenager after a car accident without being told how addictive they are. I will never get those years back and I was told it was safe. And other pills where side effects have cause life changing levels of harm I have still not recovered from years later and they never once went over them before giving them out. I can go on and on about all the times I’ve been mislead doctors.

The idea of the holy medical professional propaganda is such bs and stale at this point a quick Google search will show examples of how device and pharmaceutical companies routinely pay doctors through loopholes and they spend BIllions doing so.

I’m generally pro vaccine. But I can understand why people don’t trust the private pharma companies in the US. They have traded trust for profit. Just another reason medicine shouldn’t be controlled by the profiteering ultra rich.

An epidemic preventing vaccine should be open to anyone that wants to use and copy it with the highest level of testing and oversight. Instead you have private companies making more money than god that will cut every corner if they think they can get away with it.

Was looking at upgrading to am5 but wow ddr5 is so expensive and thanks to ai I doubt that’s going to change any time soon.

As a user of just about every type of PEV most electric unicycles are generally safer than scooters assuming you are geared up. You have a much bigger wheel to go over bumps and most modern models will have suspension and good regenerative breaking. Scooters have tiny little wheels and handle bars to cause major injuries.

Most people on euc\electric unicycles are well trained compared to any other PEV group I’ve seen, not that there’s not a fair share of idiot squids.

First you get warning beeps long before it’s truly out of battery then tilt back and slow down to stop. You can enable emergency low battery mode on some and go very slow for a little longer but even in that mode it will slow to stop before it totally runs out.
