As someone who's from a former Communist country, the downfall of communism was met with a dramatic rise in homelessness.

But you probably shouldn't trust a random person on lemmy saying "as someone from Communist country", this info easily verifiable with a web search.

Here's the first link I get searching "homelessness after communism":

What do you mean by "overcame their own biology"?

[-] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

yeah only religious governments are oppressive.

The other two answers are correct but missing one maker thing: many major distributions apply patches to the kernel before distributing. So there are very slight modifications.

Can you talk more about zellij? The docs don't really explain much. It seems to be a multiplexer like tmux?

One reason I haven't used multiplexers yet is that I use tiling window managers, and so the tiling is managed by that through separate terminal windows.

Thanks for the answer!

Warp has really cool features (seems to be beyond LLM?), but what kept me from trying is that its not open source, and seems to have anti privacy features, and VC-funded. It is still a very tempting product, so maybe I will try it.

Zellij seems interesting. I'll check that out!

I second the others. It is the #1 privacy VPN. It is also fairly priced, imo. Be careful and consider your threat model. VPN is not fool proof.

Lemmy doesn't aim to captivate and take over your attention like most social media does. If that's what people want, they should stick to their other platforms.

Why are you concerned with what other countries should do?

Yes my country absolutely needs to overthrow its government. No, I do not want foreign powers intervening, and their governments aren't much better.

You live in the country with the most resilient system serving ruling class interests. There's so many levels to keep you occupied trying to penetrate, but you will never win this game if you play it like that.

It is quite rare for an election as major as a senator's not be won by someone backed by money interests. Even their opponents are usually backed by interests. The mere prospect of running requires funds that most people don't qualify for. Just check the wealth of the poorest senator.

But even if you manage to penetrate this, you've only won one seat. Is that enough to make meaningful change? I'm yet to see that in action.

But even if your party of choice wins the Senate. If you're anything older than a teen, you'll remember the "ahh, darn! We only have the house but not the Senate!". But when you win both, "ahh, we have Congress but not the president! This maniac just throws executive orders left and right! We're so powerless". But then you win the presidency and suddenly we all forgot about executive orders. Oh wait, you forgot about the supreme court! Guys we just have to wait until they die. Don't worry, it'll happen any minute now. Oh no don't die during trump! Should've died during Obama. Oh wait one of them did. Wait what?

Yeah if you want meaningful change, this ain't it.

People like you are why I love online spaces like this.

Yes, it's obscure. Yes, nobody uses it. Yes, nobody ever heard of it before. No, that won't stop me from using it.

They're more likely to get re-elected by pleasing the ruling class than your average Joe. It's what got them there in the first place.

If you want to make real change, threaten the ruling class directly. Cut out the middleman.
