Not nearly enough, evidently.

European cars are generally badly made, overpriced, or both. The only thing keeping them going internationally was brand status, and now that's eroding away as well.

Also, for people on distros that don't have an OOTB solution like OpenSUSE have, I recommend snapper and btrfs-assistant. You just install both packages, open the assistant GUI and create a profile for your root partition.

You can then also install a snapper plugin for your package manager, if one exists (I know DNF and pacman have one), which automatically take pre/post snapshots like OpenSUSE does, so you can quickly roll back if something goes wrong after a particular update/install/removal.

I've been using the above with EndeavourOS for a year now and it's come in very handy on a couple of occasions.

Well, if we look at humans as a species then obviously the greater part of that is prehistorical. Clearly our "nature" is not incompatible with collectivism when looking at small communities and groups.

However, I think you have a point when it comes to more complex societies with increasingly larger populations, which, as a rule, have tended to form hierarchical class systems that are antithetical to collectivist ideals.

So we could say that humans have historically been fine with communism up to a certain point. It's when they start to form nation states and larger communities that societies have generally gravitated towards hierarchy and plutocracy, for whatever reason.

That's how it goes all too often with these settlements, sadly. Remember when Fox News got to settle with Dominion over the fact that they knowingly pushed election fraud claims that they privately knew to be false? They just paid their fine and went right back to business as usual.

You can't just say "in .ml", is my point. Which specific community?

If you're talking about like say, [email protected], then I totally understand, but my point is that if we are talking about instances as a whole, then Lemmy.ml is quite mild in its "tankiness".

Just to point out, Lemmy.ml isn't really like that, with a few exceptions. Before the big influx of Reddit refugees, it used to be the default Lemmy instance, and so has quite a few non-political communities.

It's Lemmygrad.ml that's the super tanky echo chamber.

I don't want to sound patronising, but you have access to the entirety of our species' history

I mean, do you? You think early man was a rugged individualist who pulled himself up by his boot straps?

Homosapiens survived hundreds of thousands of years as a result of collectivism and sharing resources, which are the central tenets of communism. From a historical perspective, the ideas that underpin capitalism - private ownership, the elite controlling the means of production, individuals acting in their own self-interest - came about only very, very recently.

A fucking origin story for Mufasa. Why didn't I see it coming?

Don't forget the Jewish student who is being paraded around mainstream news outlets after allegedly being "stabbed in the eye" at a protest.

Oddly enough, the video of the actual incident rarely seems to be played on air during her segments. I wonder why 🤔

I had the same issue and was unable to find a solution.

I'd say switch to gnome-boxes or virt-managerif possible - they don't have this issue with Wayland and perform better than VMWare / Virtual Box anyway.

The installation is the easy part; first I have to back up all my configs. It's the media machine in the living room, though, so it's not super urgent.
