Wars are fought with propaganda. This war isn't special.

Block the bootloader from updating, use LTS kernel for stability. Checking Arch's page didn't work for me, btw. I ended up switching to Fedora because I was hit by every breakage (4 in a row), LTS kernel didn't work with my ethernet, and ethernet broke after an update. -Some people have great luck and some don't.

As much as I hate Go ogle, it is up to us to choose. -Sad part is all but Yandex is burying the same information as Go ogle it seems.

 

21+ accounts exposed on Reddit (most created on the same day / only interact with each other). - Still active accounts.

That didn't stop the circle-jerking, romanticism, and ignorance of the sub's participants, or the ridiculous and inordinate amount of positive and negative karma coming from subs about weevils, for example. Easy karma just for posting 'aww lawd, here we go again' in r/bedbugs. Post a pic of a steak in r/steaks with 'cast iron' and 'reverse sear' and get easy karma too. - Post the same steak or even a much better one with 'tri-clad / air fryer' and get nothing. -First-hand experience with a crappy AI generated steak and one I put in an air fryer for 25 minutes at 180F before finishing in a tri-clad. -Edge to edge medium looking better than 99% of theirs. -lol. (The karma system is shit)

I've been learning to control the outrage, and figuring out ways to turn things around. It's like my time with conspiracy theories helped me to discern bullshit, fact check, be objective, etc.

I felt it was enough to hint that.-lol Criticism of alternatives being too much like Reddit hasn't been well received.

Reddit was never a place to go to for facts. Reddit has always hated facts.

No, that's called mooching. Freeloader.
