  • Nah. The plow improved society when everyone said the same thing.

    The time can be invested in expanding and creating new things. Inbred societies that lost their industrial capacity only have the option to extract and reduce with gains and improvements. The capable use what they have to create more and new things. Puritan fuckwits believe they are in some kind of final state of technology. They aren’t even out of the stone age yet. The next era of major technologies is entirely biological. It is the key to sustainability. The USA forfeited that future for dogmatism and corruption in the medical field. All of the sciences require 5 sigma results except for medical. It is 3 sigma garbage. Things called breakthroughs in medical are insignificant irrelevant noise in physics, chemistry, and astronomy. One day biology will be fully understood and an engineering corpus. That is the day when true interstellar travel becomes possible. If we get to a complete understanding of biology before the next major planetary cataclysm, we will own the galaxy in 100k years. Planets are gravity prison cradles only suitable for the most primitive lifeforms.

    The reason we are so backwards in the west is extremely simple, we are not meritocratic. Wealth is inherited. All of our present leaders have inherited wealth. Business acumen and intelligence are not hereditary. There is no path that bridges from the masses to the top classes of society to lead by merit. The lack of potential growth and mobility has crushed the culture into dystopian decline. There is no mechanism to stop this inherited wealth cancer. It is terminal.





  • The shit isn’t made here. China is more than capable of creating all of this stuff without the USA. The US companies are only pricing the stuff at below what it costs to do the same natively.

    This is just like what has happened with Nvidia. Right wingnuts are too stupid to understand how monopolies work. One must suppress the market to prevent the fiscal viability of competitors.

    Everyone knows of the Raspberry π? That is Broadcom suppressing the trailing edge compute market as a monopoly. They are selling a set top TV box chip to use in the Rπ at cost from the fab only using any excess down time on a trailing edge fab node. They are preventing Rockchip, Allwinner, and Mediatek from grass roots scaling. They are also spuriously passing off their manipulative monopoly move as a charity and tax write off, while undercutting a free trade market, and doing it with a proprietary device in an open source community space by making the Rπ the path of least resistance with disproportionate software development funding.

    This is how all US companies work. The device you are looking at right now is likely running a proprietary Qualcomm SoC. The orphaned proprietary Linux kernel is the reason you do not own the device and it is not supported for the real life of the hardware.

    Dogmatic fools blame the tools. The tools are never the problem.


  • All distros have niche purposes, but most components are compatible.

    As an abstract concept, Linux From Scratch is like ultimate god mode. That walks you through everything in extraordinarily overwhelming fashion to build a operating system from scratch.

    Gentoo is like LFS on easy mode with a package manager to help you stay on top of a working system. It is still like maybe demigod mode. The main thing with Gentoo is that you have access to compiling everything from source, so you can integrate any changes you would like to make to packages within the package manager.

    If you understand a UNIX operating system on a LFS/Gentoo level, Arch is like both of these, but with binary packages.

    Debian is primarily for a more complete base system with stability where they make long term support kernels. Debian is primarily for creating custom tools on servers and for reverse engineering hardware. Most hardware drivers come from Debian.

    Red Hat is the goto for commercial server stuff. Many Kernel maintainers and developers work for Red Hat. Fedora is up stream of Red Hat and has most of the tools from Red Hat. The book The Linux Bible is the goto book for learning IT and networking and is written around Fedora/Red Hat.

    So the reason for the bla bla bla is because understanding the purposes of each of the distros will guide you to essential documentation. This is the key to intermediate level Linux; when you understand where to look for information across all distros.

    • LFS will walk you through any components in tutorial detail if you can find the entry point and ground your understanding.
    • Gentoo is likely to have similar tutorial guides and information that has easier entry points.
    • Arch is like the giant warehouse of components. Arch has the wiki which is the principal documentation on the components themselves. What Arch is not, is tutorial. The wiki is an encyclopedia. Use it as such.
    • Debian has the bootstrapping stuff and documentation to port onto new hardware or explore.
    • Red Hat/Fedora have the information and tools for the kernel and networking. If you want to mess with something like the CPU scheduler or configuring numa architectures, these are the places to look for documentation.

    These are general loose guidelines. For your monitor resolution issue, I would start with Gentoo and Arch. I had a similar issue when I tried Arch back around 8-9 years ago, but I do not recall the details and it has probably changed considerably since the X11 to Wayland transition.







  • Maybe, but the issue is likely loneliness in need of an outlet. The relationship is a manifestation of the deeper need for a meaningful connection of some kind. Try to be a part of that connection if you really care.

    Negative feedback loops cannot produce positive outcomes in any system. One must add positive reinforcements to achieve positive growth. Mocking or shaming are negative feedback tools. If you use these with any human, the human is far more likely to double down on the behavior. In essence you are training the human that communication with you or by the same mechanism is a problem they can easily resolve by not communicating further.

    They already have a relationship. View this like a tribe that you are not apart of yet. If you apply uninformed bias through dogma such as the assumption that the person has ill intentions, you are identifying yourself as someone of a rival tribal faction and at best attempting to leverage your tribal relationship against this new one that has formed. You’re asking your grandfather to take the loss of meaningful value as he perceives it.

    The far more effective anecdote is to be open and insert yourself into this new tribal situation where you are present for communication and hold a vote in what happens in the tribe.

    That is how you influence the situation without causing harm and with positivity.


  • It is blatantly obvious. It is mosad. Maxwell has the ties to mosad. The mosad connection is why everything in Gaza has played out as it has. It makes no sense. No sane person supports this genocide. The fascism is convenient for Mosad and extermination of the Palestinians. The Jewish cause has always been capable of leveraging enormous capital and has long been known for a lack of ethics throughout history. 47 acts just like someone that has extortion leverage over their head. Stuff like bombing Iran was done at Israeli command in opposition to party and everything he campaigned for breaking a support base that now demands the Epstein files as a response. People don’t do stuff that is that stupid and self deprecating on a whim. The issue is pushed around and lied about in the exact fashion as a con artist that is about to get caught. Epstein collected leverage around the world and that leverage is being cashed in for 2 million lives in Gaza.
