  • I don’t think it’s funny, more like it feels good to see an atom of justice done for once. One murder changes nothing, it has no value as far as changing the system, but the symbolic value is through the roof.

    Here’s the thing: even if we change the healthcare system tomorrow, they get to keep their billions. We can change the system, but there will be no justice because one of the principles of our legal system is that justice isn’t retroactive. So seeing one of the guilty parties killed is an example of retribution that is very rare and exhilarating.

    Just not funny per se



  • Well yeah, anything becomes impactful if a lot of people do it, but i think it’s litterally impossible for that many people to have the means and inclination to attempt assassinations. And if there are, every CEO will have security details long before this phenomenon comes close to actually having consequences. There’s a lot of countries where rich people live completely separate from the rest of society out of fear, it’s a thing that they can do.

    Of course there would be a powerful message sent by rich people not being safe in the streets, but there’s all kinds of ways they can rationalize it before putting themselves into question.






  • Transitioning from Windows to Linux Mint was effortless for me, everything worked out of the box and i haven’t typed a line of code yet. All i’ve had to to do is install Diodon to get the clipboard history feature.

    However all i’ve done with it is internet and office work, basic stuff. No gaming, no video editing, no 3D animation or any such. I think if you have a mature and complicated creative workflow it’s totally possible that you’ll struggle to move to Linux




  • No, but what are you going to do? Install WIn10 on a computer that’s too old and doesn’t meet the minimum specs?

    If you have a 2010 computer, it’s either old Windows or Linux, modern WIndows is going to suck, if it even works. Ergo, i can’t think of a circumstance where you’d want/have to install Win10 on a hard drive instead of an SSD.

    Maybe shits and giggles, similar to running Doom on random stuff? If someone has more imagination than me then i’m open



  • I tried Ubuntu in 2015 or so, and Mint in 2018, and quit both times. Now i’ve been using Mint since last July.

    I don’t know if it’s because Linux changed or i changed, but one way or another something clicked. I’m planning on switching entirely to Mint before Win10 reaches end of life because there’s no way i’m installing Win11, so i have to migrate my whole workflow by then.


  • I feel like they should cross. For a long time Linux really was “worse” than Windows in the sense that you needed some computer knowledge and deal with incompatibilities with the OS that most people were using; both have gotten better in recent years and Windows has gotten worse, so for some use cases i’d say we could be at the point that the lines cross.

    Written from my Mint laptop, absolutely perfect but i’ve only used it for internet and office so nothing fancy
