  • ok for anyone confused. Likely in the us. This sounds a bit like selective service but it goes a bit further although I think in ways the us doesn’t do because we suck. So like 18 males have to get a physical exam to determine if they would be fit for service but all 18 year olds have to sign up were they state if they are interested in the military and if they would be willing to serve if needed. I mean sorta nice relative to the us thing but I can see why there would be protests as obviously they could use the info to call folks up even if they did not express interest. Still given the us selective service I don’t see this as being much more outside of actually asking the persons opinion and it being for both sexes and males getting a free physical (something that would never be condoned in the us).

    I don’t really concern myself with who runs things. I just treat the federation like the real world. If I like places I frequent them, if I don’t dislike places they will be in my rotation, if I don’t like them then I don’t hang at them.

    I would not worry about it honestly. Anyone can create communities and I would not be to concerned if one is run by thin skinned folks. I mean banning you without discussion to me is I place I don’t want to frequent. Was using the word feud to cavalier. Well yeah. I mean we all realize how fucked the situation is but personally if I saw someone call it that I might comment but not sit there and think they are purposely trying to minimize it or something. I would just block the community and move on. Heck I consider being blocked a convenience to find out places I don’t want to frequent.






  • oh it certainly was some sort of astroturf. Previous to that my comments I felt like I was the only one who would mention it. Seems like the thing with zorin 8 being spammed has had a sorta streisand effect but I still like it. Also someone keeps commenting all the versions cost money so there is a kind of reverse astro turf going as well. Its kinda funny given its an irish company and with the popularity of european things. Its just the way things are.



  • So I use zorin and I feel its the best for typical windows users and anyone who just wants to install and get to immediately using thier pc. So basically its the lazy distro. Lot of software out of box including wine with play on linux so right after installation you could run or install windows programs if you wanted to (I would check out linux alternatives first). That being said my personal opinion if someone wants to run games is to dual boot a gaming distro or install a gaming distro and use it as your main one. Further I don’t recommend dual booting windows. If someone wants to keep windows around my sugestion, if they have it, is to install linux on your last older laptop. Anyone who had a machine that did not outright die and upgraded in the last ten years will be pleasantly surprised how well linux runs on older hardware compared to windows on newer. Once you have weaned yourself 100% off windows and realize how useless it is then install on the current laptop. Given if you don’t still have your older one then by all mean dual boot. I initially did that but have reversed the setup and now have linux on my better laptop as I was so annoyed with windows wasting the good one.
