Don't understand how you can say political power is under the rule of law in the US when a man with tens of felony counts is about to become President. It's been known for decades that there's one justice system for the proletariat and another for the bourgeoisie.
Wouldn't bother with Mint, the ui is OK but I had package conflicts arise when I was running it in the past. Ubuntu or Debian if your hardware is old enough are both better choices.
One problem with it is that deleting a file in Syncthing may also delete it on other machines. And a backup solution will keep multiple versions of old files which can be lifesaving if you make a bad edit.
I think having a lot of questions is good actually. Even for signing up for a bilibili account, you have to answer a lot of questions to demonstrate that you understand certain things about the site. Compared to the amount of time that you are going to spend on the site, it's really not that much and it cuts down a lot on bad quality content. You can think of it as an alternative to the way that somethingawful makes you pay some money to join the site. It requires time instead of money, which is good because we're trying to cultivate an international and working class culture here.
Space elevators are likely not feasible. Off-planet mining would probably be a better fit for autonomous robots as long as weight is a factor in sending things to space. Plus, you won't get people to space with a railgun.
As for the question of population maintenance, it's not necessarily a crisis in itself. One thing is for sure, though: any policy viewing women as docile broodmares or encouraging more pregnancy without a comprehensive and clear analysis of the whole situation and the input of educated women will not succeed. If any country can successfully encourage more births it would probably be a socialist one. The GDR had relatively good policies for its time, for example.
Getting large numbers of people into space will be prohibitive for a long time. It's more important right now to focus on the problems of the here and now. Build international socialism and improve habitability of the world.
To me "unfiltered" and "celebrating the diversity of political thought" means "allowing fascism and fascism-adjacent speech." I go on this site precisely because we generally don't allow such nonsense to be posted. Filtering speech is a necessary part of creating a good community.
The #1 rule of Christianity is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. It's clear that many so-called Christians are not following this simple rule.
I'd rather use Ideavim in Android Studio.
