Yes. Dude who created one of the most useful projects in software history in large part because of pragmatic decision making makes a pragmatic decision and Joe Rando says "Must be in the pockets of big AI!" because he can't grasp any singular aspect of a complex issue. Can't even hold in his head a tiny number of things just vomits crap over the internet. That person needs to spend a lot more time reading and thinking and less typing.

occrp.org/…/how-to-build-yourself-a-stealth-lobby… What lawmakers listening to Shaffer didn’t know was that the Caspian Studies Program she headed at Harvard was set up in 1999 through a $1 million grant from the US Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce and a consortium of oil and gas companies led by Exxon, Mobil, and Chevron, all of which had commercial interests in the region. The chamber of commerce is a pro-Azerbaijan pressure group whose Board of Directors includes a vice president of SOCAR, the Azerbaijan state-owned energy company, and top lobbyists for BP and Chevron. Supported by an overseas regime and an assorted network of overt and undercover lobbyists, she used oil money to build her academic credentials, then in turn used those credentials to promote Azerbaijan’s agendas through Congressional testimony, dozens of newspaper op-eds and media appearances, countless think tank events, and even scholarly publications. She’s still doing it. Brenda Shaffer Shaffer first walked into Congress in 2001 to testify before the House of Representatives’ Committee on International Relations. She was introduced as “the director of the Caspian Studies Program and a post-doctoral fellow in the international security program at the Belfort [Belfer] Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government”. Addressing lawmakers, she asked them to repeal a section of the Freedom Support Act that barred direct US aid to the Azerbaijani government. “They have extended their hand to the US. They have huge expectations that the policy of this country is based on some sort of morality and high ideals,” she told them, and reinforced this in written testimony she also submitted. Challenged about Azerbaijan’s democratic record, she replied: “There is a lot of room for improvement in terms of democratization. However, every six months, every year, things are getting better and better.” What lawmakers listening to Shaffer didn’t know was that the Caspian Studies Program she headed at Harvard was set up in 1999 through a $1 million grant from the US Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce and a consortium of oil and gas companies led by Exxon, Mobil, and Chevron, all of which had commercial interests in the region.

Fossil fuel is incredibly well financed profitable well explored. The tiny modicum of public and private money that went into renewables didn’t stop any otherwise profitable exploration or expansion of fossil fuels. Iran had leverage since its resources began to be exploited. We could have spent a lot more on renewables decades ago that would in fact have blunted that stick. Instead we worked to make fossil fuels more valuable and thus hand them more leverage then we swung a stick at their head.

  1. It doesn’t scale. Where the problematic economic demographic is 50%+ percent of the pop and 70% live in cities no substantial portion effected could go live in all the Guthries in the nation. People are concentrated for reasons as old as civilization.
  2. It often wouldn’t help. Outside of shelter and taxes most goods don’t vary much or all by market and wages do.

One could find yourself spending an overlarge portion of your money on rent in an urban market move for cheaper rent and find the difference in wages makes up the difference in rent and now you need to afford everything else on less total wages.

  1. Cheaper markets have worse services and safety nets. Those who already rely on good medial benefits in urban centers in blue states would find little savings in moving into the boondocks in their own states and would lose more in health care alone than they gain in rent moving to bumfuck

They use a lot more disk do they actually use meaningfully more ram? Other than obviously inherently bloated web tech stuff?

Do you actually feel like Windows or Mac are more responsive with the same RAM?

I found a lot of flawed measurements which ended up measuring different things. This seems like a fairly respectable measurement even for being a few years old https://itvision.altervista.org/linux-desktop-environments-system-usage.html Simple environments like xfce or mate under X11 are around 600 MB. Gnome X 1300MB Gnome Wayland 1400. Seems pretty clear that gnome is a significant factor in the increase on the other hand most machines now come with 8-16

No no it doesn't. It's spec acknowledges that in addition to your OS you also run applications.

You are assuming that the cachy devs want the help of folks who have not demonstrated competence in their own project or want to do stuff how manjaro does

What is being communicated is that being a nazi is so inherently abhorrant that its unsafe to express support for nazism in decent places. A nazi may exist in such places but they do so quietly because they risk at minimum getting tossed out. Places where its ok to be a nazi loudly end up attracting more because such places are rare and thus attract a disproportionate number of such folks. These folks make decent folks not want to come. Now you have a Nazi bar. From a broader social standpoint, people adjudge ideas I’m part based on how acceptable they seem to be by their peers. Seeing nornal communication alongside nazism reenforces the perceived normalcy of these abhorrent ideas.

Librewolf doesn’t actually have their own browser. They provide Firefox with a slightly modified configuration. Your comment is like saying we should give our money to door dash instead of $burger-joint despite door dash having no kitchens no equipment no beef and no cooks.
