There are dozens of us! But yeah, same.

I think Bazzite has a version that doesn't start in game mode 🤔 Or use one of the sister versions if you don't game often? Password on boot happens on both of mine, and coming back from sleep should be an option.

Not OP, but I've got Bazzite on my Steam Deck and Bluefin on my laptop as my daily. I'm rather loving the set it and forget it nature of it while still having plenty of room to play when I need to.

I just discovered bat and eza, which were already installed, along with fd though I haven't played with that one yet. I've really liked the first two at least

No offense taken. We know we're "a third sold country in a Gucci belt". It's not that it started 40 years ago, but that's when it really took off, this speedrun to transferring wealth and power to the already wealthy. They purposely cut funding to education to make an easily manipulated populace, and have been using fear propaganda relentlessly for longer.

We also learned last time Trump was elected that most of our country was held together by gentlemen's agreements and the idea that our constitution never considered irrational people would be elected.

Our system is broken, and the ones with the power to do anything about it have no interest in doing so.

I honestly don't know how we recover from this. Stopping Trump is a bandaid. Rooting out the cancer… 🤷🏼‍♂️

We learned that last time Trump was president that most of our country has been run on gentlemen's agreements. It was news to a lot of us as well.

Same. I don't honestly know how we recover as a country. Trump isn't the cause, he's a symptom. A tumour with a much larger cancerous problem underneath. At no point will the sane (and actual majority of us) roll over and become fascists. But at the same time, I don't see how the third of the country that has gone full fascist suddenly regains their sanity and joins us.

The USSR's goal was to divide us, and the Cold War never ended, it just went underground. There is a large part of me that is afraid at this point Balkanization is our future. But how we would we even get there without causing death and destruction?

But regardless of sentiments about losing faith in us (and I don't blame those that feel that way, they are warranted) I do love you all who recognize that not all of us are the insane ones that make it on TV. We do still value our brothers/sisters/enbys to the north and are proud that we have a friendship unparalleled and the world's longest undefended border. The world is a often a dark and scary place, but it's friendships like these that make it worthwhile.

I appreciate you internet stranger.

You guys are the best. I'm just south of you in the PNW and want us to always have each other's backs.

Yup. The Democratic party is the Republican party of 40 years ago. The Republicans are obviously now literal nazis, fascists, kkk, the worst of the worst. That's all we have and they have no interest in changing that.

Many of us like Sanders because he is a vocal option that is at least left of the status quo. But there are also so many of us that want European left policies. We just can't get it to happen in a winner takes all style of representation. And capitalism.

Can some of us, uh, join you though?

Gotta keep that grift going

Alternative to Silverblue is Bluefin, which is Silverblue repackaged with QoL improvements. I've been using it for a while now and like it in a set it and forget it kind of way.

Welcome to distro hopping! If at some point in the future you want to try another out but don't want to start from scratch, there are ways to demo them to get a feel and see if it's something you'd like to take the effort to wipe and install.

No escape, no control, no option.

And as someone who never closes tabs, I love their tab management, from organization to memory.

In sane times, yes. But US Marshals are a part of the Dept of Justice, which answers to the Executive. So I'll let you guess how that would play out if they were ordered to arrest Trump or anyone else in his circle.

That still feels like too much thought/reasoning for him. I could see some other idiot connecting those dots and convincing Trump it was his idea. Or just Putin trying to crash the economy.

Yeah, I'm more or less just using NC for a cloud storage with WebDAV. I don't really need all the other bits. So if NC were modular in that you could install or not the core pieces, that would be great.

That was what I'm using. With Protonmail they bought SimpleLogin and it was more or less the same.

My email comes with masked email options, so if I need an email I just hit create and it generates one that forwards to/from my account. Just as easy to block or delete them.
