I hit that in my mid 20s. Turned out my headlights sucked and I needed to clean the inside of my windshield.

Doesn’t that work with just a big USB stick? I’ve definitely plopped a Linux HD in a new computer and had it work with almost no changes (fstab and maybe adding graphics card support).

alias l="ls", I’m immune to this problem

Not quite what I mean. The way that control is orchestrated between the whole apparatus for the moves of the machine to function synchronously (media support of wars, wars happening in a way that benefits the largest companies, etc.).

For example, the way that even CNN seems to just be reading from a script re: manufacturing consent for the Palestinian genocide. It’s beyond something like “they’ll lose their White House press credentials if they don’t play nice”.

I do think the behavior of the system definitely suggests central management instead of any, like, uncoordinated class interest behavior. But at the end of the day, if you fix the structural problems, it doesn’t even matter.

A lot.

Funny how they find themselves on the same side as Republicans and Zionists - blaming the Palestinians for their own genocide. Different path to get there, but the same destination.

I’ve got an irrational, non-evidence-based love for RISC dating back to the 90s PowerPC Mac era. Makes me want one.
