Not sure I trust WD after the whole lying label NAS thing, the wiped drive accident, and more.

Colonizers aren’t just immigrants, piss off with that false equivalence. People committing attempted genocides (or successful in some cases) aren’t the same as people just moving somewhere.

I think his biggest failing was that the Supreme Court picked Bush as president even though Gore won Florida and thus the election.

Definitely the techiest of tongue twisters

Ecofash?

Yes but you have to find the now kinda rare used NVLink ideally

Is giving free food with no strings attached terrorism, now?

Didn’t they basically just do jury nullification?

Eh, they left plot points open for the possibility of a sequel in the first movie, such as who the parents of the lead singer could be since she’s half and half.

Could lead to a “I am your father/mother” starwars moment .

Oh I moved long ago, and have been living in Finland.

When I spoke of the USA, it was before the internet was prevalent. Facebook was barely new as a concept once I was in university.

I imagine now though it’s easier than ever to keep cultural ties / influence with the home country of parents or grandparents, with the internet being ubiquitous. Back then, you basically were tied to radio and if lucky tv. If my Hmong partner’s parents can easily access content and news from Laos in the USA I’m certain it’s even easier for people originally from India to do so.

Those are all good points.

I will say you don’t have to be a migrant to be affected by a different country’s culture, because your family will still be culturally affected and will likely even practice traditions or celebrate old holidays and customs. I say that from experience - I only speak Spanish with my parents, and grew up watching mostly only Spanish news and programs, even though I was born in the USA.

What I mean by my current is that it seems to be a recent phenomenon of seeing both a rise in the far right but also that out of all minorities in power, it’s people of indian descent that usually have those top positions in English speaking western countries and are or support the far right.

However, considering India itself is culturally far right, my guess is that’s the reason as to why. But I suppose by sheer numbers, as you pointed out, would be the reason they predominantly occupy that role, along with the predominant cultural values of India as an average whole.

Still, you’d think you see more of other minorities too, like Chinese, considering that population is globally high too. So it makes me wonder why India specifically? There must be more dynamics at play than just sheer numbers.

I should clarify - framework releasing a desktop was a sign of enshittification of the company in general, not being far right. Desktops are already highly customizable.

As for the other thing, it’s just a strange pattern that seems to have been emerging. The CEO of Google, CEO of Microsoft, and now Framework.

As for politicians, there’s the UK and India itself as examples.

Why does it seem recently every Indian descent CEO/English speaking politician is extremely far right? That pattern plus Framework’s actions already makes it seem like they’re also far right.

Though releasing a desktop was the first warning sign in their case I suppose.

And somehow also more impressive than one Zeus per minute

Thanks for everyone’s help. Figured out I didn’t need the second Switch, just needed a router that had at least 2 LAN connections.

Thanks everyone. I tried ZimaOS (since apparently that’s what CasaOS is now?) but had issues figuring out the -arr services.

Currently trying YunoHost now, though for some reason it says my GMKtec G9 has a MMC/Micro SD?

I’ve seen the chart, but the problem is I don’t understand the point of some of the things in the chart. The installation instructions are also kind of lacking since I don’t understand Docker well, but it just says to install Cosmos via Docker. I could take a couple of days to learn all this and sacrifice my limited family time, for something I think has a potential benefit, or I could just install one of the other two.

If those features are extremely useful and important, then yes, I’ll have to learn it and I guess that makes Cosmos the best choice. If they’re not really needed, then I guess I should pick one of the other two.

Mostly I’ll be running Jellyfish, file storage and retrieval, and eventually probably something for Valetudo in the future. Also considering putting Waydroid in there somehow to run Stube on the TV as well. But would all those features be incredibly important to have something like Cosmos then?

I think there’s a line where mandates are authoritarian and where they aren’t, and it comes down the house beneficial for society or a group it is, but in particular also how exclusionary it is. Your view on determining it by face value is too simple for this.

For example, if you mandate only Hispanic kids to wear uniforms, by your logic, that is more moral and less authoritarian because less students are being made to wear a uniform as opposed to all of them.

Yet, it’s obvious that is not the case, despite fitting into your statement.

Likewise, individualism has limits before it’s simply chaos too, and therefore should also be looked as to what point it instead brings harm. People here have, for example, listed many reasons not having a uniform code can be detrimental as well (wealth class divisions, strengthening of cliques, weakening of the student body’s efforts against things an administration will do).

Not to mention, even in your call for a lack of uniforms, you are still technically imposing mandates: not only against those who do wish to have them, but likely against what people want to actually wear. I doubt you want students going in boxers or bikinis for example.

And lastly, I’d like to mention that socialism is counter to authoritarianism. Authoritarianism might use some socialist aspects sometimes, but socialism itself isn’t in the same spectrum as authoritarianism.

Very detailed article and covers well how the loopholes are being exploited.

But I can’t help but wonder, why are they called child sex abuse dolls? No children are being abused in this case, so wouldn’t what other news outlets use (just “child-like sex dolls” be more accurate? Otherwise wouldn’t these be equivalent to calling violent video games “murder simulators”? Feels a bit like a slippery slope. Especially since the article ncludes dolls with adult features in the mix too.
