    What I don’t get is, who the fuck are the people that have the power and means to stop this or the money involved thinking they’re they’re going to get long term benefits from this?

    Authoritarianism doesn’t work out for anyone period, especially those closest to it, including the authoritarian themselves.

    The writing is on the wall, if you have been publically vocal against this regime, your days are numbered unless you act. Being scared of speaking out now is lost cause when you’re already fucked. Unfuck yourself and unfuck millions of people. Not only would you continue living, your life would dramatically change for the better especially if you’re a politician or politically adjacent and part of the “we saved democracy” crew.

    The only thing I’m excited about is watching Republicans devour themselves thinking they’re going to come out on top here. Other than that, this shit is disgusting.

    Are you kidding? I go to my evangelical church three times a week and I can assure you that "Satan* doesn’t bring any light.

    “Satan” only cares about these seven things

    I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

    II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

    III One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

    IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

    V Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

    VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

    VII Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

    So, like I said, none of the above says anything about hating people that are different from you on the surface level. Good luck in hell.

    I used bazzite and I ran into the exact issues you described above. It worked, and it worked well, but anything extra that I wanted to do required jumping through a shit load of hoops and bouncing around between bazzite forums, fedora forums, and universal blue forums to maybe not even arrive at a reliable work around.

    It was extremely valuable because I had to learn a lot, but it just wasn’t nearly as seamless as cachy.

    Bazzite will play steam games right off the rip and it will do it well, and is an easy install. Beyond that it can get harry if you’re not just using flatpacks.

    A lot of people will say “just use distrobox” if your solution to make something work in this OS is to download and use another OS, why wouldn’t I just start there with the other OS?
