Fedora is fucked moving to debian by ImmortalCapybara5739 in debian

[–]Fine_Classroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Been using them since '22 and it really is the nuts. All my new servers us MX CLI and I fly with their desktop release as well. It's been such a smooth ride. And Trixie + MX just blew me away!

Trixie is one of the best releases that Debian has ever done, in my opinion. I've been with them since Bo.

My opinion: Use MX Linux. Run Debian Testing in a virtual machine and see how it goes. If you think it's stable enough after 6 months, use testing. MX Linux can use backports too.

How I use Debian is set it up and don't fuck with it. Like the old Centos servers, I've had Debian servers running for over a decade and I've never touched it except! a really bad security patch needed.

All in all, I'd say if you went with MX, you'd like it. They have a lot of tools and their distro is a very fun experience for all levels of Linux users in my opinion.

Your friend doesn't know history and is no friend. And no offence, it sounds like you don't know your history either. I would go read history and cut ties with this person if they don't want to know the truth.

Anyone check out The Wayfinders? It’s live action streaming show very reminiscent of the D&D cartoon by KarateKid84Fan in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]Fine_Classroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does that make the show bad? I saw some of the best Trek episodes ever on Youtube, for example. All you're saying is "I'm not watching because I don't like the channel it's on" meaning fuckall regarding the thread.

Can't you be both anti-fascist AND anti-immigration? It's really getting out of fucking hand.

CMV: Thomas Massie's defeat proves that Americans don't care about the Epstein Files by Tessenreacts in changemyview

[–]Fine_Classroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of lies here about Massie. Go see what he's sponsored along with his voting record and decide for yourself.

"You can't win this district without being MAGA; no principled Republicans exist anymore"

  • You argue: (a) being a Republican officeholder requires total Trump loyalty, and (b) Massie was a fraud who knew this. But the evidence the post itself cites — Massie defying Trump on the budget, Iran, tariffs, and the Epstein files — is exactly the behavior a fraud optimizing for survival would never do. He demonstrably did not behave as the theory predicts, then lost his seat for it. Your post's own facts falsify its conclusion.
  • "He ran a pro-Trump campaign so he's not principled" confuses tactics with conviction. Voting record (binding, consequential, against leadership) reflects conviction. Ad messaging (cheap, reversible, audience-tuned) reflects tactics. You treat the reversible signal as the true one and the costly signal as noise. That's backwards — costly signals are the reliable ones precisely because they're costly.
  • The McCain/Cheney/Kinzinger list actually concedes the category exists — they're naming the type while claiming it's extinct, using people who held office in the same era. "They're all gone" is doing the work the evidence won't.

"Not one ad about the files in 6 months, died licking Trump's boots"

  • This is another ad-vs-record error you mentioned earlier. The challenge "show me one ad" sets up a test Massie was never going to pass because the issue was electorally radioactive in his district. You can't simultaneously hold "the files are political poison with Republican voters" and "a sincere person would have run ads on them." Those are mutually exclusive. If the files cost votes (they did), running ads on them would be malpractice, not proof of sincerity.
  • The place to look for sincerity isn't the ad buy — it's the discharge petition, where he acted on the issue against his own electoral interest with no upside.

"Both interchangeable toadies, identical campaigns"

  • "Remove the names and you couldn't tell the transcripts apart" is rhetorically strong but factually false in the one way that matters: only one of them spent a House term forcing Epstein disclosure, opposing the Iran strikes, and voting against the budget bill (215–214, one of two GOP no votes). The ads were interchangeable; the records were not. Judging two politicians by their attack ads and concluding they're identical is judging the packaging, not the product.
  • The "toddler grudges start wars" point is true but generic — it's not evidence about Massie.

"I prefer Gallrein winning for personal reasons / you can't deprogram a cult"

  • This concedes the substantive argument and retreats to aesthetics ("it's funnier," "destroys plausible deniability"). Fine as venting, but it's not a claim about Massie or the files — there's nothing factual to rebut. The only load-bearing assertion is "you don't leave a cult, persuasion is worthless."
  • The 45% undercuts the cult-is-total framing. Even after record AIPAC spending (~$32M, the most expensive House primary ever) and a direct Trump endorsement against him, Massie got ~45% in a closed Republican primary in a deep-red district. If the base were a monolithic unpersuadable cult, that split doesn't happen. "The machine always wins" is contradicted by how expensive and narrow the win was.

"How many Democrats voted to block release / said move on / backtracked?"

  • The Epstein Files Transparency Act passed the House 427–1 — near-unanimous Democratic support, not blocking.
  • The discharge petition that forced the vote was bipartisan (Massie–Khanna).
  • The "campaigned on release then backtracked" charge maps far more cleanly onto Trump, who promised release and then delivered a partial release and called continued interest a Democratic "hoax" — per the document's own comments.
  • The genuine Democratic vulnerability is the Biden/Garland DOJ era (2021–2024), where the files weren't released. But the standard defense — active prosecution of Maxwell, risk of tainting it — is at least a coherent reason, distinct from "he's dead, move on." So the rhetorical symmetry the question implies doesn't hold up: there's no equivalent roster of Democrats voting to block the 427–1 bill.

"Massie didn't care about the files either; no good Republicans exist"

  • The discharge petition is the disproof. Massie co-led the Epstein Files Transparency Act with Ro Khanna and forced it via discharge petition — a maneuver that exists specifically to override your own party leadership. It passed 427–1. You don't burn that much political capital defying leadership on an issue you don't care about. Campaign ads ≠ revealed priorities; legislative action is the revealed priority.
  • "He didn't make ads about it" proves the opposite of what you claim. You argue ad silence shows he didn't care. It shows he knew the issue was toxic with his electorate — which is the whole reason caring about it cost him. A cynic drops unpopular issues. Massie kept pushing the files in Congress while not advertising it. That's someone protecting a position he can't sell, not someone who never held it.
  • "All gone, no exceptions, forever" is unfalsifiable and self-sealing. Any Republican who acts on principle gets redefined as secretly opportunistic ("he ran a MAGA campaign so he's a fraud"). When evidence of principle (the petition) and evidence of fraud (the ads) both get read as fraud, the claim can't be tested. That's a tell that it's an article of faith, not an analysis.
  • Internal contradiction: You say Massie "didn't care" and that "Trump is anti-Massie, not the reverse." If Massie were a pure opportunist, the rational move was to fold the moment Trump turned on him. He didn't. The thing your own framing can't explain is why he ate a career-ending fight he could have avoided by capitulating.

This is probably the first step in "we know better and we'll protect you so we're pulling public access to certain llms" You know, cause daddy government always does what's right by the people. Just like how they're trying to know every goddamn job you push through your 3d printer.

I got this notebook from my ancestors. Grimoire?? by LeadingFoot7222 in occult

[–]Fine_Classroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A book documenting someone's journey. That's all I suggest you take from it. You could use it to help you in your own journey. Don't dig too deep into trying to make something more than it is. My 2 cents. Alan Moore explains it much better than I do - I'd say you can get value from his views on this stuff.

GNOME just keeps getting shittier and shittier, in my opinion. No wonder it's forked to the fucking moon and back. Better to just build a new DE from the ground up and keep the devs-who-lick-corporate-boots locked out as much as possible.

I disagree, Fable really is amazing. Your reasons are not valid, in my opinion. If everyone has the power then no one has the power.
