The useful skill of being born rich so you could go to an Ivy League School.

Its called Gaia XI - Its the old MMO, Final Fantasy XI, but its been revived by fans. The complexity and nature of the game make it pretty hard to get it running on something other than Windows.

Snaps filled up my root directory with all their ridiculous and mandatory backups. I had to get rid of them. Flatpaks are alright, but nothing beats native packages.

I finally stopped dual booting Windows after I got the “You can’t log into this account due to repeated log in attempts or restarts, wait 2 hours” BS I ran into a few days ago. Sadly there is one game I can’t get working on Linux or a virtual machine, and one laptop feature that will not work until the maintainer of my device’s Linux drivers manages to get it working for my specific model, but being forced out of my own system and told I’m not allowed to access it for 2 hours is intolerable, and the fact its baked into the OS, and can’t be disabled, even more so.

It definitely looks like space debris breaking up and burning up in the atmosphere to me.

We aren’t long inanimate objects, we’re human beings and we deserve to be treated better than a can of sardines.

I’m not saying it doesn’t work, there are alot of things I think China does right, and I by no means think these representative republics of the west are anything more than veiled oligarchies, as China is a veiled technocracy. I just don’t think its right to call any regime that isn’t accountable to its population a democrarcy, I don’t think its even right to call republics with infrequent or no referendums a democracy.

Except they have a very tiered system, where elections only occur for positions at the lowest level, and the higher tier the position is the less accountable they are to the will of the people. There is no governance by the people there, I would argue there isn’t in most countries that claim to be democratic, but its even more blatant in a system where the rulers aren’t even representatives of the people, just representatives of a slightly lower tier of the only legal party.

I get that China isn’t as bad as alot of news sites say, but isn’t it common knowledge that China is a one-party state? Where is the democracy exactly?
