bhamlin, to linuxmemes in what's your ubuntu?

My Ubuntu is Manjaro.

bhamlin, to linux in What distros have you tried and thought, "Nope, this one's not for me"?

The problem with SELinux is that everyone rushed to push it out, alongside packages affected by it without support for it. So it was a crapshoot whether or not you’d have something working each time. That is better now, but was initially a colossal pain in the ass for about five years or so.

bhamlin, to linux in what caused you to get into Linux?

Red Hat Linux was the only viable option for me to use on the AlphaStation I’d just bought off of my former employer, and the rest is history.

bhamlin, to linuxmemes in A distribution for the systemd haters around here.

Nah, if it were slackware there’d be more Bob.

I’ll take my chances with the sky fairy rather than the courts. One has a track record of being wrong a lot and causing grievous financial harm, and the other is imaginary.

bhamlin, to memes in EDIT: I THINK I STAND CORRECTED

Yup. Exactly this.

bhamlin, to asklemmy in If Trump loses in 2024, do you think he'd run in 2028?

Well, there’s a minimum age requirement. Any one running for that office will need to meet that. And it’s kinda “old.”

bhamlin, to lemmyshitpost in Especially on Lemmy

It’s me. I look at my posts like that. I should probably post sober more often.

Defund the police is about police having the resources and immunity to escalate situations to mortal danger. Have you never considered why places like northern Ireland don’t have rampant murders by the police? The place was bombing itself not 30 years ago. There is more bottled violence there than the US. General police there don’t carry firearms. Not because they don’t have money, or it’s not dangerous, but because not every situation calls for someone armed to the teeth.

If police couldn’t respond to every call here, others would be called in. Neighbor’s autistic child is causing a scene? Get a social worker there. If you need someone with a gun, then you call that in. But if you start with someone trained to control a situation with deadly force and introduce someone mentally incapable of understanding or complying, you’re gonna have dead kids. Which we do. Without the need for that.

But I guess you’re ok with shooting the mentally infirm because they’re a burden and should be cleansed. The Nazis thought that was too.

bhamlin, to comicstrips in Banned books

Books are being banned with zero consideration for their worth, or even if they’re being used in a classroom. These books are on those lists purely for existing.

Or maybe you believe that the Nazis did nothing wrong. You’re entitled to that. But I draw the line at books being banned because they talk about them. A wrong thing can be just a useful teaching tool as a right thing. Counter examples are just as useful as affirming examples.

bhamlin, to memes in EDIT: I THINK I STAND CORRECTED

I wouldn’t. Most places refuse to take $100s due to rampant counterfeiting, and banks don’t bat an eye at a huge stack of ones as a deposit. To just flow through life, a limitless supply of ones is far easier to deal with than any amount of crisp $100 bills. Inflation might change this, but probably not in my lifetime.

bhamlin, to starwarsmemes in Equality

The inside is still more…

bhamlin, to lemmyshitpost in Yes, I'm a rancher

I prefer the term “ranchist.”

bhamlin, to science_memes in Utterly terrifying

I guess those are better than finding beans in your candy…
