Calico but she has some orange so still counts. She never gets the brain cell. Ever. Our orange is much, much smarter than her which should tell you something lol

Our cats 100% understand, “Get down!” and they will 100% of the time try and ignore us until we’ve said it at least 5 times and started to get up to manually remove them. 100% jerks.

Also a laptop bag for our calico. No idea why she likes that laptop bag but she goes nuts over it, more even than catnip.

Dumb as shit kitties represent. One of our cats is the dumbest I’ve ever known. She constantly runs into things, hits her head, injures herself jumping from heights (no she doesn’t have any health problems, vet checked fine), she just dumb. But she’s also adorable and loving and we love her.

I used Arch for 10 years and in that time I could literally count on one hand how many times my system broke. Three of those times were user error. I was on CachyOS for about a year and a half and never once had issues. Now on Artix and I’ve once had my system get borked once (due to one package that was an easy downgrade). I’d hardly call 3 system borks in ~13 years “inevitable instability”. Rolling release =/= constant breakage. I wish this myth about Arch and Arch based distros would die.

I agree about Cachy’s improvements being meh. I noticed very little improvement (barely perceptible if at all) going from Arch to Cachy. I mostly stayed with it as long as I did for convenience.

I mostly use my phone (Pixel with GrapheneOS) as a dumb phone + calendar. But by far the biggest number of apps I have to have on it are the fucking car charger apps.

It doesn’t. Yet. Hopefully it never will. But given how in on it Red Hat and the US govt is it could only be a matter of time.

As others have said, any distro with KDE Plasma. If you care about age verification then steer clear of Red Hat associated distros like Fedora. Mint is also straightforward.

My father, ex military, always said the Police aren’t there you protect you, they only act after the fact.

That aside, this system will never changed as long as the 1% are incentivised to maintain a certain level of poverty - poverty is intentionally built into the system. And organisations like the police and ‘justice’ system are set up to protect the 1% while giving the illusion of protection and justice to the average person.

Man, that feels like some tin foil hat crazy right there. I wish it was.

Not just that but they have publicly doxxed their own customers.

Since 2018… I dont like Trump personally but mass surveillance, data mining, bypassing legal protections like warrants has been going on for far longer than just Trump. Democrats do this shit too

The corporate ties to Microsoft, Meta, etc. The founder of systemd being ex Microsoft (including working on TPM). He also said that he thinks that people shouldn’t have a choice of init systems and that there should be only one - systemd.

He’s repeatedly made unpopular additions and changes to systemd, forcing them through, despite others protesting. Some of which has corporate capture stink.

That same founder pushing for age verification after having founded a company that specialises in “verifiable integrity”

Some of it you can read here: https://tboteproject.com/systemdfindings/

Other stuff is in the systemd (and probably redhat but I dont use that or Fedora) mailing list a over the years.

My one regret with recently ditching systemd is that I didn’t learn of the shady shit that’s been going on for years and ditch it sooner.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse Red Hat goes and outdoes itself again.
