Counterpoint: my boomers told me it’ll take 30 applications max. And after two weeks of no jobs, they told me to go in person and just start asking for jobs 
They also began blaming immigrants despite being immigrants themselves.
Fedora’s nice! I was on it for a long time before switching to a fork called Nobara, which is still just Fedora but with some tweaks for gaming.
I’ve never tried Mint but I know it’s supposed to give a Windows-like appearance. So maybe you’ll be more at home with KDE than GNOME, though both are great.
Another thing to remember is Fedora does minor updates pretty often but it doesn’t force you to update. It’s up to you to choose when to update it. I’m not talking about the full OS upgrade like going from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40 which happens every few months etc. So make sure to just do an update once a week or every coup of weeks or something. The OS will remind you, too so no need to worry.
Also, a big difference is apt-get is gonna change to dnf when you use the terminal to get packages. When you go online to find stuff to find apps to download or commands to run, you’ll need to find the Fedora specific versions or ask for them. A lot provide for both Ubuntu and Fedora but Fedora is smaller than Ubuntu, so you will see some things online that just don’t have any instructions for Fedora. So you’ll have to ask around.
Some resources that might be helpful - the Fedora subreddit and the official forum.
I also found a couple of videos on what to do after installing Fedora. They’re from a few versions ago but the advice seems sound - video 1 + video 2
Self care, I get that lol. I’m glad I get to see a very real world example of online Hindutva fascists not being the majority of India.
Having been away from the country for a while, and my only contact being people who have bought into propaganda + essentially all mainstream media being just govt. mouth pieces, there are very few ways of getting any alternative view. And there is no ability to gauge how popular that alternative view is.
In that context, these results are very relieving. Dont know what it means for the future. He’s still gonna be the PM and BJP will still form the govt (via a coalition). But hopefully there will now be a strong opposition + he will not go down the Hindutva route (but who knows? Maybe he’ll double down. He hasn’t changed as a person).
You can repeat this a dozen times in this post and I won’t care (I’ll roll my eyes at you, but I won’t care). My point is simple.
If you’re going to organise a protest, at least let there be some fucking sign (I don’t mean a literal sign, just a mention on the website, the posters, the socials, something) that your gonna be shouting “I stand with Hamas” and are proud of Oct 7 out there - so I don’t end up bringing the folks I brought to it.
Ambushing them (and me) like that doesn’t work. It’ll make you feel better and like you pulled one over us, but that’s it. And the next time you organise a protest, the people you blindsided won’t turn up.
[All this assuming you’re genuine and not a fed.]
You can have the kind of radical protest you want - but it has to have the kind of radical protesters you need. Advertising it like a general one, and then pulling shit like this is fed behaviour, and if you can’t see that, then, well…
YES. When I studied Rus Lit my prof dedicated a whole lecture to this! With slides! I honestly love this part of Russian literature, it gives it so much character, and anyone who complains about it doesn’t deserve to read it.
It's not even that. Like, everyone memes on centrists but this take is, somehow, even worse. This dude is saying he literally doesn't care about what's happening (genocide) and that if you try to make him care in a way that inconveniences him even a little bit (by blocking a road) he will actively choose to support the side committing the genocide.
I don't even have words.
Why couldn't he just be a poster? He's so good at it. Like, just be a guy who tweets and dunks on people, and everyone will love you. Why you gotta be a fascist.
Hate to see people waste their life doing something their not good at (business, governing, marriage) when they could just spend it tweeting.
Hasan fundraised for Palestine back in October, raising $1.2m (in addition to doing the same for the earthquake that happened in Turkey and Syria earlier in the year).
His merch line, unlike that of other online creators, is not only union-made, but goes on to support strike-funds.
And you have multiple instances of individuals in the real world not only getting inspired to join unions and leftist orgs due to Hasan, but succeeding in creating unions - three examples - Waymo, YDSA, Chipotle - all of which directly cite Hasan.
He's also, of course, gone to multiple strikes/protests/movements and interviewed organizers from them, like during the SAG-WGA strikes, or just recently when he interviewed the organizers of the Columbia student protests. Everything I've listed here is just stuff I remembered and then tried to provide a link for to back up my claims - there's probably so much I've forgotten.
Internet culture and its effect, especially the power of microcelebrity, on the real world is here, my friend, whether you like it or not. Hasan is one of the few people who seems to use it for good, progressive causes. You will find people in the real world who know him.
I've just learnt from you and another person that there are cockroaches that fly and...goddamn, nature is scary as fuck. Also, what a story. 
Cockroaches are a universal human fear.

HE COMMENTED ON CIVIL RIGHTS:
When asked: Would you have said the same thing during the civil rights movement?
Here's the link to the video clips.
He also said this:
"What gives you the unique moral authority to break the law because of what you believe in?... It's narcissistic and entitled. That's insane. It's like these people think the world revolved around their issue..."
The pic is just a pic I found of him.
Edit: Also, if people think he doesn't matter, he's literally more popular than Hasan, especially when it comes to gaming shit.
Edit - I don't remember where I read/heard it, but I remember very early on someone said that liberals will one day turn on Israel but it'll be after a certain number of people begin dying - 5k, 10k, 30k, 50k. I wish I could find it.
That perfectly encapsulated the liberal mindset. They won't stand with us before the atrocity begins, when we are saying this will happen - only when it's already happening and their conscience gets in the way. (I'm talking about the people, not the ones in charge - the latter know perfectly well what they're doing, of course).
It's just endlessly frustrating, because the same thing happens over and over again.
