  • Electoralists be like

    Jump

  • 90% of people?

    Or 90% of electorate?

    If 90% of the electorate, that's still surprisingly high.

    In many places, many seem not realise a no-vote is taken as a vote for "any tyrant will do", and the no-votes are the majority, ignored.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't? I'd keep complaining, and not accept the notion I can't complain, regardless of voting status. Better than complaining, coming up with better solutions.

    It's a very honourable sacrifice you're making sir.

    You're a brave man to order this.

    You're a genius, sir.

    It's a powerful gesture, Mr Sanders.

    Hah. Imagine if.

  • THE STAR TREK FRANCHISE REWATCH PARTY #31 "Operation -- Annihilate!"

  • Shan't read your spoilers. Thanks for the warning. I'm doing my first re-watch of the original series in over 15 years... backwards. Shall pass each other sometime mid S2. ;)

  • Ferengi are only a couple social revolutions away from becoming members of the federation.

  • Got me imagining a story line where we discover the Pakleds we've seen, are nothing like what Pakleds usually are, and that they'd been drugged to make them stupid, then duped by those who drugged them, to send them forth across the galaxy to find stuff to make them go. Perhaps even on a global scale, for generations, risking population collapse and extinction as all their men are sent into space. But a small enclave managed to escape the scheme exacted on their world... erudite, affable, amiable, prudent, generous, insightful, quick witted, jolly, light spirited, bright, present, conscious, conscientious, not at all like what we know them as, when in their drugged and hypnotically enslaved zombie state of being. ... Once alleviating them of this chemical lobotomy and shackle, the Pakleds could become superb members of the federation. [I'm quite looking forward to seeing the light and nimble, fresh, bright, witty, pleasant, considerate Pakleds now... ]

    Could be a good story to have the federation introspect on all those times they looked down on the Pakleds in irritation and distrust, treating them with scorn, contempt, and dismissal.

    Long live Rodenberry's vision.

  • What are the more obscure independent linux distros?

  • Thanks for mentioning SliTaz. It made my shortlist too. Didn't think anyone else would mention it. :)

    SliTaz evokes a lot of love and joy. It's like seeing a microbus... People just smile. Makes the world lighter.

  • I haven’t tried Gentoo yet, but I want to.

    Come. You want to. And it's easy. Here's a video install guide on how to install Gentoo, that's not even 40 seconds long...

    ;)

    (... 24 days ago. Oh. Did you do it yet? On Gentoo yet? USE flag convertee now?)

    I might switch to Gentoo later, especially if work on the GNU Hurd kernel progresses far enough.

    I was briefly using Hurd with debian about 12 years ago... it didn't hurt. Hurd didn't hurt.

    ... I've been looking over at even more exotic kernels from time to time, yet to seriously dip my toe in... things like ironclad.

  • What are the more obscure independent linux distros?

    Jump

  • Here are some independent distros I think need more respect/recognition:

    • CRUX - It's proper old school, been around for ages, still does things the old school ways, gets you perhaps more knowledge of your system than even archlinux, slackware, gentoo...
    • KISS (and/or Carbs) - Similarly keeps you hands-on tight to your system.
    • Exherbo - Takes commitment, to go from 0 to 10, users as developers. Godly, if you can.
    • SliTaZ - Still as small as the old small DamnSmallLinux, and more pleasant (comparable to SLAX and Puppy).
    • Gobo - Always needs honorary mention. Unique file system layout ... ~ Would be cool if that were simply something we could toggle on any distro... Surely that's just someone taking an afternoon with an LLM making XDG configurations... no? Okay, probably more complicated than I know. ~ But I digress...
    • GuixSD - Manage your system with guile.
    • PCLinuxOS - Convenient, catering to desktop users. Nice community spins. Oddly uses RPM package format, but with apt interface.
    • BedrockLinux - What I've used for about 14 years as my daily driver. It's cheating. ;) Linux's best kept secret.

    Big fan of each of these.

    Also peripherally aware of...

    • venom
    • adelie
    • milis
    • side (uses PiSi package manager)
    • ToaruOS (idk, just saw it for the first time now... showing there's always more to explore...)

  • There are (oh so ironically) so many to choose from in Astronomy.

    Planet for example, or Asteroid...

    But seriously, it's in their name, that they name things, which, as the name's typically used, encompasses so much more... They name themselves as that which names stars, and they cannot even get naming themselves right...

    Misnomers so normalised, many people don't even realise.

    Nommy irony of astronomy.
