  • Are you saying that it does work with open suse tumbleweed with the stock kernel?

    I havent run opensuse much as a server but am always looking at it and Arch.

    Probably going to switch to Arch eventually because the arch wiki is just the best docs I’ve found.

    If you’re not relying on say a closed source driver that needs to compile for each kernel update you should have no issues there.

    If you set up btrfs snapshots to run on updates then you could always just roll back if there’s a bad one. That’s how my arch laptop is set up.

    Personally wouldn’t use Debian testing over arch or tumbleweed though. I think there’s something to be said for being on the same packages as the maintaners and not a testing version.







  • It isn’t mostly used by minorities it is mostly used to target minorities. Though people in poorer conditions tend to have worse trouble with addiction due to lack of safety nets and people who are on the streets more are going to get busted more. Like no one is going to bust me if my buddy brings over an 8ball of coke and we snort it all up in the basement.

    And I remember the quote its from Nixon’s aid. But I remember trying to verify it once and not finding anything conclusive.

    I remember my eritrean friend telling me the cops here used to to stop his car and do body searches on them and everything I mean he was dealing crack and had guns but they had no probable cause for the searches it was definitely just because he was black. They would never do that to me because they don’t want to and they know I’d be calling a lawyer. I’ve definitely driven around with more drugs than he had on him and wasn’t even a little worried because I was following traffic laws in a decent car.

    Also had a white friend who put himself through college running coke from the big city up to ours. He had a newish little Hyundai never once got stopped or hassled at all.


  • Well there’s some theories that they really started pushing the drug war as a way to criminalize minorities and political groups like socialists and antiwar protesters. Also probably alcohol companies push it now. Like they changed the name from cannabis to marijuana to make it sound more foreign. And the CIA helped start the crack epidemic.

    I’ve also heard that lumber companies wanted to shut down hemp stuff too.

    But cannabis is legal in Canada now at least and I think well see psychedelics legalized here eventually.










  • Well I mean we know China blocks a ton of info and publishing must pass state censors. And vpns etc aren’t really allowed there. And Chinese corps have some brutal working conditions. I’m not saying there aren’t things China has done right that we should look into but I don’t see them as a shining example of the working man getting control over his own destiny.

    I will give that book a read but I disagree with your assertion that china, or the soviet union succeeded in bringing socialism and I’ll continue to work with but never trust leninists maoists etc. due to all the historical violence marxist-leninist revolutionaries have used against anarchists and people who believe like me as soon as they have power of their own.


  • Eh. Young people are always the most likely to be flakey pieces of shit at any job. It self filters out pretty quick.

    Also, I work trades and I’ll just say that from my point of view very few people are literate outside what they immediately need to navigate their lives. Like on bigger jobs we’ll have a worker at random read out a section of corporate safety policy in the morning meeting and let’s just say that literacy is a spectrum and most people are “functional” but do not read for pleasure or knowledge on their own time.
