@elliswyatt @thor Normally, in a debate, I would expect authoritative sources and accepted defintions of concepts. You seem to be defining "country" without any regard for the history of a country, disregarding culture completely as though people are just pieces on a chessboard and not actual living persons. Also, defining a country as "dirt" excludes any nation that lives on the sea, which, to my knowledge, some peoples still do. Can you give an example of an economic system based on "collectivist means"? I find your definition vague. Your last statement seems to be a re-wording of the famous line from "The Outlander" movie.All it takes to refute that claim is for property to be held jointly by more than one person, as in the case of families or even, as in the US, by a corporation.Neither families nor corporation usually have the authority to dictate the terms of ownership. Their ownership is usually based on laws, common agreements among people to govern themselves.

@Linux_in_a_Bit Proxmox!Open source hypervisor, runs virtual machines/containers, does clustering, with automatic fail over and replication.Foswiki - I have been using this for 21 years, all my projects, work logs, code snippets, screenshots, network layouts, etc.Couldn't live without it!

@omnipotens thank you for all the work you are doing. Linux Rocks is my lifeline to something approaching sanity on the internet.

@Linux_in_a_Bit Slackware actually comes as a CLI only distro which allows you to add mouse support in the terminal by default.Of course, to change it to a regular GUI type OS, you just have to change one value in /etc/inittab. And you can, at any moment, switch from TUI to GUI and back again with a single command. I've used Slackware both as TUI only and as GUI over the years. It's completely stable and fast either way.

@OpenComputeDesign Totally understandable.This "festive" season is hell for me personally as well. This year was particularly bad, but I'm slowly decompressing. You are not alone, friend.

@OpenComputeDesign Rationally, it is as ridiculous to be upset as it is to be happy about life.You can find "evidence" to support either viewpoint you wish. Children still play, people still laugh, music, dance, art is still enjoyed in the face of all the death, suffering and broken dreams.It is your choice, but don't imagine for a moment, that you are "right" about your choice, whatever your version of "right" is.If life sucks, in a very real sense, it's because you want it to suck.

@OpenComputeDesign You know the old saying, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time."Life can look like a mountain of shit, and then it can get worse :)But, ask yourself, "Is there ONE thing I can do today that will make me feel a little bit better?" If there is, why not do it? What's the worst that could happen if you did one thing to make yourself feel better? Tomorrow, I've found, will take care of itself. :)

@topher Every one of the 7 computers in use in my house are castoffs from people who thought they were too "slow".Well, don't tell anybody but slapping Slackware on those old computers brought them right back from slowness.And I've found that even the oldest of them is still faster than I can type. I've found that "fast" computers seem to be designed more to distract people than to do any useful work. I worked in IT for >40 years and most people can't even deal with slow computers, far less fast ones. What slows down computers, is the amazing load of Javascript that is needed to browse the internet nowadays.The internet worked perfectly fine before everything "suddenly" required AJAX for interactivity. So, noScript is a wonderful thing which gives one the choice whether to allow somebody else's Javascript programs to run locally.Oh, and as we are on this subject, ublock origin is the first extension I install on any computer with access to the internet. Life is hard enough without other people's advertisements pestering constantly. My 2 cents

@Nonilex But have you seen the stock market?! $50,000! Wow!Jesus, are you still beating this dead horse, Navalny?Seriously. Why would anybody in Russia care enough about this non-entity to bother to kill him? FFS!He was the Juan Guaido of Russia, a poster boy for a Western puppet being primed for the propaganda effect. A nobody.Practically nobody supported him in Russia. Idiots in the West simply don't understand how Russians think. A total lack of understanding.
