The first comment talks about stealership, the next about weird us practice and I have no idea what they are referring to 😁.
In Europe we habe car dealers, franchise, independent or do buy privately but they can all act independently.
Is there a cartel or something in the US for car dealerships?
Um, only having been tourist to the US, how does it work?
Edit: the car dealership. What’s different to e.g. Europe (the referenced American only practice)
If he’d still be alive that would be the absolute cherry on top of this crap cake.
I think you underestimate the creativity and power of these people.
It’s exactly like ww2. People just didn’t want to see it. It will come out at some point. I am certain the USA is already using German KZ methods.
When you’ll notice it, it will be too late.
I was going to say, stuff mostly working reliably is awesome.
This is the internet. It’s not only the US. I can’t do anything for you. It’s an observation.
What did you do against the illegal activities of your criminal government recently?
Apologies, if you did and felt included. But we’re not seeing much. We’ve just recently defended greenland. For now.
Hey man whatever floats your boat. I’m not even from the US and the world is watching this unfold aghast how much you would take until other things happen. But they did a good job on you to still take it.
I’m not 100% on this but it just upgrades to the next release which would be a dist upgrade on Debian I think. Too far away from that currently so apologies if incorrect.
The fact remained, it broke my setup several times, which Debian based distros never did. But I am based to Debian anyway (but for good reason as the package management is the best / working it in data centers for decades - but let’s not go into that).
Still nothing will happen.
There is no time. There is just the state of now, which is ever changing. (imo)
I was using Fedora because someone recommended it, and the rolling release model broke stuff for me multiple times so I am no longer using it (liking release models specifically based on Debian more).
Wow, what a waste!
Which only works until you tank the country by pissing of your customers (aka other countries) enough and tank your currency.
Everything en route!
It’s a mess. I’m even moving to a different field in it due to this.
I would even go as far to say as we do not have it under control* right now it’s massively being exploited and endangering humanity.
*I’m missing a better word for this. I don’t mean government control but so corporate lobby and malevolent influence of other entities can’t run rampant.
As a German I wish you all the best and hope you can avoid the worst.
It won’t be easy.
What no one mentioned so far: going these lengths literally confirms this us is a weak spot.
I get what you’re saying and I am a techie, but this is not a technical problem.
It’s a political issue. And those can not be solved by technical means.
Thank you.
Sounds like a lot of lock in or lock out.
