Free, high quality education would prevent sad, uneducated bait like this.
Create a Union. Let Europe help - we're VERY interested in a strong and democratic North American continent, and perhaps we can teach one or two things about democratic resiliency to the so-called "land of the free".
Probably to the "oh my god new slang so cringe this youth" crowd. You know, those who always said they'll never get old and annoying non-understanding adults… and now became exactly that. 😁
XDG? OpenDesktop? Dunno what that is, time to dump everything into ~/.myawesomeapp
"My teeth are killing me" meant something pretty different back then.
I'm super grateful in this regard to live in Germany, where free doctor visits are not a benefit of something but fucking minimum for literally everyone. Even though it may take a while for specialists. I even get benefits for going to free appointments at the dentist. Safes money and pain later, leading to more productiveness as well.
Was really weird watching "Breaking Bad" just as I had cancer myself years ago (Cancer-free today 🙂). Being in a hospital, receiving anything I needed just by showing my insurance card (for which I didn't have to pay anything either as I was without a job at that point). And as long as our government ain't complete dicks I'm more than glad to pay that back.
The US just weirds me the fuck out. I don't get this selfish lack of solidarity towards your fellow humans.
Personalized propaganda is quite something these days.
The Element Matrix client in a nutshell.
Only five missing dependencies, ten configuration mistakes and three compiler errors to go.
It's a US "non-profit". One that demands 19$ per article which they merely provide as aggregator, they don't own shit.
Utterly absurd.
I heard very desperate people also use Linux From Scratch. Might help. Might induce neurosis.
All three browsers recommended are Chromium-based as well, so they're dependent on Google and have to suffer from the Manifest v3 problem and the necessary manual intervention. Brave even is known for being maintained by a dick. Some of those recommendations are really bad.
Don't get your second question though. The reasons for non-US should be obvious.
