  • I really don’t get why people don’t start shooting police. As I understand it guns are allowed to “defend yourself against the government”. Police is the government and they clearly are out of control shooting people.

    So either use your weapons against the government or make guns illegal if you don’t use them anyway.

    So in the end there are less cops which in return means less people shot dead by cops or cops are less scared because people don’t have guns and so they also don’t get shot by cops.

    What I am saying is: either use your guns or make them illegal if you don’t use them anyway.

    I can see your point. Other have sad that it should follow the horsearmor pattern. Which would make it a guess like “I wonder if I can use this animal part like the other animal parts which fill the same role.”

    That way you could formulate an educated guess and be happy when it turns out right.






  • Is it purely medicine or is a big part of that living conditions?

    I guess it is a bit more nuanced than I formulated in my original comment. If your cat is healthy and dies of some kidney disease it is completely OK to heal that cat, in my opinion.

    I just don’t think a cat, as it stands now, is made to live to 30 years because of cell decay etc.

    In my time I have seen people keep other beings in a miserable state just because they couldn’t let go. They pump them full with medicine, not because they have a better life this way, but because they can’t let go.

    And those beings where completely helpless and suffering. That is just something I don’t wish for a innocent being.

    That was where my initial response stemmed from.








  • It is a tough sale for sure.

    I am trying to transition to Linux but there are a bunch of hurdles.

    For example I installed fedora KDE spin in dual boot on my desktop. Then I installed steam as a flatpak and pointed it to my already installed game. Didn’t work because of some permissions I didn’t understand how to configure with flatseal.

    Alright then noted I need to learn that shit but now I want to play a game so I uninstalled the steam flatpak and installed the steam package from the fedora repo. Checked the boxes in the packagemanager-gui (discovery) for nonfree steam and nonfree nvidia drivers, pointed to the library and it worked.

    Great! Updated the games and downloaded the saves. So far so good. But after all that I had no time to play anymore because i had to look up a bunch of stuff to understand that I don’t understand enough to make it work the way I tried.

    I took my laptop with me which also has fedora KDE on it. When I had a little time I thought “hey maybe I can play a bit of moonring. After all I now know how to get steam running”.

    So I downloaded steam from the fedora repo, Logged in, downloaded moonring and… No save sync.

    I go into settings and see that cloud save is enabled. Start a game maybe that triggers it? Nope.

    It doesn’t even say that sync failed or something like that beside the start button.

    Okay so off to the web search. But as that gets more fucked by the minute I just get some problem adjacent stuff.

    Like: “how to install steam on fedora”. I already installed it, why isn’t the cloud working? “Maybe it is because the path for savefiles is casesensitive?”. Maybe but what am I supposed to do about it? And so on. So I closed my laptop with a bad taste in my mouth.

    It is just frustrating to have to understand a bunch of shit you are not interested in just so that something works which worked before without a problem.

    The world is just to complex and fast moving to understand everything and to retain everything. That’s why we are an expert society. “I invest my time to understand this stuff really good and you invest your time to understand this and in the end we exchange our labor”.

    And that’s the “problem” with Linux, that you have invest time into it. And people mostly don’t have the time because they have lifes beside the PC.
