  • That’s a defeatist additute. You can be a realist withotu being a defeatist. There’s always hope. I probably have as little faith in electoral politics as you do, but forming real relationships with real neighbors we can actually create the world our politicians would never support.



  • I don’t think so. In Michigan, for example, seven parties have auotmatic ballot access for the general election. Often people will say the would prefer one of the so-called third party candidates, but they just cant’ vote for them this year because the greater of two evils is so incredibly evil but next year will be different.





  • HURD is the default GNU kernel. From what I here there are also GNU systems running on BSD’d stuff, and I suspect they’re are many GNU systems running with Kernels users have created themes, whether for very specific use cases or just for fun. I recall following someone’s blog an Diaspora* about the latter a year ago until she got bored with it.



  • I think that would not change the opinion much among the existing desktop userbase. That being said the younger generations are not by nature desktop users the way Gen-xers and millennials were. I think getting GNU/Linux as the default desktop for educational settings I think will have. Thankfully there is some traction being made on this front, particularly in places like France, Brazil & Argentina. Then again I guess it’s not an either or, as having more vendors with preloaded Educational focused distributions & support would make such adoption more likely to successfully launch in such settings.

    default settings, everything on GNU/Linux can be customized. Getting done to change the default is always a struggle. For example it’s been decades that in GNUDE the middle button click has been paste, so while it may seem dumb to you that it does that, it’s user base expects that to be the default.

    But as you’ve already found in this thread in a meme community, one of the best ways to learn how to customize your system the way you want is to claim in a Linux forum that Linux can’t do such and such.

    there is certainly too much of this these days. I can only speak for myself but I try to live my interaction with others in a more libertarian manner, while trying to hold high moral standards for myself, but I fail regularly. I particularly struggle with attempting to balance what I believe my religion teaches regarding raising my family with the faith, while still respecting their rights and autonomy as individuals.
