No. That is simply untrue.

First, if you feel Bernie and Trump are both populists then that term means absolutely nothing.

Second, people don't go "I like this guy because he wants to tax the rich, have universal healthcare and wants to go regulations to help stop climate change," and then when that guy loses think "this other guy who acts nothing like the candidate I supported and has literally the opposite policies might hear me so I'm all in on him!"

This is a fiction made up to push to narrative that it isn't foreign propaganda.

Give it another shot. It was legitimately cancelled too soon.

And if you watch it you'll feel your dream come alive at last, you will touch the sky. And they're not going to hold you down no more, no, they're not gonna change your mind. Because you'll have faith of the heart, strength of the soul.

I'm bugged by decontamination gel.

Why is it so randomly used? Why doesn't Shran have to use it ever? Did Phlox have to rub it on all of his animals? What's in it?

She was fantastic!

However her reading of translation state involved the most guttural pronunciation of grandmama I've ever heard

I don't disagree with you.

All I want is for some objective statements about different distros. Like tell me what distro is a full time job to maintain. Tell me what distro is sending me to the command line all of the time. Give me some basic functionality benchmarks (search time, opening a browser and boot time) on a low, mid and high end computer.

The best way to describe those books is "subtle."

I loved them, and translation state feels like the start of a new series in the same universe. The worst part is how often Anaander Mianaai is written and how that many 'a's just fail to compute in my head.

I have to vote for Martine.

This is a very good selection of books, but I would like for "classic" sci-fi to have it's own category. I love Hyperion, necromancer and the expanse series, but I think they start to choke out newer/fringe books. Especially if the the plan is to vote on what book is next.

Because it is.

Left click on zombie has better graphics, and that's it.

For me Dwarf fortress is like watching TV, nethack is like reading a book.

I feel like I'll watching some bizarre sitcom with such great stories as "dwarven child sees an elephant trample a goblin and then gets possessed, keeps making bone carvings of the scene, and then gathers all the elephant meat in a forge and kills three grown men by slapping them with meat." I'm not anyone in that story, but it's fun to watch.

Nethack is like getting to know the quirks of your character as they narrowly escape death.

Fuck Microsoft, switch to Linux

Absolutely. But I wouldn't hold my breath on companies actually stopping use of MS.

The issue is new users.

If you have a vague understanding that Linux has distros and to switch to Linux, you'll likely Google "best Linux distro." Results that say "they all are good for different reasons" are unhelpful. Having sort through 50 options isn't helpful.

New users want to know what to install. This means that some distros get hyped up as the best, and then people point out the cracks.

Until there is a clear and objective list of distros with pros and cons labeled the cycle will continue.
