And how well does this work out to prevent slavery, colonisation, genocide, war etc. especially for the most marginalised and oppressed?

Maybe all it does is make rich people richer and people like you feel better about your powerlessness.

Look into proletarian democracy next if you want a better, still not perfect, but better system of governance for most people.

There are a few manufacturers you can look at. Other than Framework and System76, which you already know of, there’s Tuxedo, Starlabs, Slimbook etc.

Other than that, The Linux Experiment is my go-to channel for Linux-related news. He has a playlist for Linux hardware. You can find some good reviews for different products in there.

Specifically, the reviews for the Tuxedo Stellaris 17 and System76 Pangolin might be of interest. Both have AMD.

Sorting by new post-federation makes this place feel like a radiation-filled half-dead warzone. I hate it but still do it, partly for the morbid curiosity of other instances shit-talking us and wanting to de-federate.

Maybe I'm being a total noob, but I thought Proton's P2P servers were enough? Is port-forwarding on Proton or others different from that?

The anti-culture is spot on. Amerika truly is the ideal capitalist state. Nothing can you do without it either already being a part of capital, or very soon being gobbled up by it. You must serve capital every loner of your life.

Hell, even after death!

Yeah, exactly. Capital needs to end all other human relations for it to reign supreme. The only way to get them back, and make them better than before, is by ending capitalism.

No, what you say is true. No one is an island. None of us could even exist were it not for other people, both literally (from birth to finding food and water and resources/commodities) and in the more anthropological/sociological sense you spoke of. Capitalism makes us isolated, alienated machines who's only purpose is to work to produce surplus value for the capitalist. Every other human relation is subsumed into this, and the more "developed" a country gets, the further along this process gets too.

And the latest part of it is the very nature of online communities as they exist curently. The algorithms, created to generate profit, havd figured out the best way to get people to stay on your platform and interact more, at least in the short term, is by tapping into our worst impulses of anger, hatred, disgust, fear etc. So, all online discourse, unless carefully managed, falls into this pattern. And Hexbear falls into this pattern, too. How could it not? Even without such an algorithm here, we have already been trained in this type of toxic discourse in every other platform. And so we bring that here.

I don't know the solution, other than saying "things will be better under socialism" which they of course will be. Because there isn't any way it could be worse.

Although, babies are horrifying, disgusting, alien monstrosities.

No it’s not. Liberals, if they criticise capitalism, always clarify they mean crony capitalism or predatory capitalism or something else like that. And follow that up by talking of some good, idealised capitalism that is actually necessary.

We made everything look and perform worse so we can talk to Libs who hate China and Marxists who hate anarchists and sex-work and consider us Libs.

I saw the anime waaaaay back in the day and loved it. Rintaro was soooo cool, Kurisu was soooo hot and Mayuri was the cutest! The anime was so much fun, the plot was epic, the time travel was soo clever, the secret organization and everything was sooo fucking sinister, and it had such deeeeep themes and characters.

As you might've guessed, I was a teenager and this was one of my first anime.

Looking back at it now, I can definitely see how your review of the VN (which I haven't played) is probably very accurate. Most of these VNs, LNs, manga and anime appeal only to teens. You gotta find stuff that's aimed at people who're older, I guess.
