I’ll be honest, I do not know, but I’m always more worried about where it’ll end-up over where it is right now. Even if it is all local for now, it is a small tweak for that to change. Just a small decision by a few people and everything changes. I don’t have enough trust to believe that decision won’t be made.

How did this person’s life work out? I would love to hear more about that story.

Which communities do you most recommend or enjoy?

Unless you are Russia, North Korea, China, or similarly aligned, it is in your interest that Ukrainian men be in Ukraine defending their country. If you are in Ukraine, it is in your interest that they be returned to fight. If you are on the front lines, you damn well have the expectation that they be made to join you on the front lines. It doesn’t matter what these men want. It matters what they will be made to do. And the pressure needs to be turned up to send them back to Ukraine to fight. Call it what you want but, in a just war, conscription is morally just, and pulling men back home to join in the defense of the county is morally just.

I started using Linux as my primary computer about 7 years ago. After a few months of distro hopping, I landed on Solus because it is stable and rolling. I didn’t want to deal with breaks during major upgrades. My system is still going and I have no complaints. I’m just a regular computer user, personal and work (non-tech job). I have to wonder why Solus doesn’t get more attention.

It requires more effort to spread intelligent ideas.

Humans have always been stupid but today technology has made it easier for the dumbest among us to be more influential than any stupid person of any prior era. This, we are in the golden age of stupidity.

I think it is because people who identify as antifa are usually more than just opposed to fascism. They also promote a set of political opinions beyond opposition to fascism. Those political opinions are unattractive to many people who dislike both fascism and antifa.

Do you have a neighbor who well let you borrow their address?

Instead of demonizing a class of person, perhaps you should select someone’s writing or speech and then make an argument about something someone actually said. Even better if you turn it into a conversation with two way discourse. Your question just alienates others.

He changed his mind to agree with Catholics about the Blessed Virgin Mary. That’s rare for an Evangelical.

Capable? Everyone who isn’t mentally handicapped or disabled.

I get told that whenever I run into people from high school, unless I’ve got my beard. My beard is gray enough to show my age.
