Even with the creative liberties taken, the live-action Idiocracy that is the US today holds up real well to the film!

Limiting the impact corporations have on the environment via legislation is one highly effective way. But I'm just a person from the 89% of the population with this stance. So asking me isn't all that useful. Asking at the demonstrations in a manner which takes account of each response is a much more logical way to help figure this out. Additionally, there's definitely organizations who've done a lot of work here and have plans drawn up on these matters.

If all 89% of us took part in demonstrations, that'd be a great start. Those pushing back would eventually break from the pressure.

I use a Iron Fox on mobile with uBlock, so I don't get pop-ups, but thanks for the heads up. Does your mobile browser have reader mode? If so, enabling it as the site loads is a great workaround for this.

John Steinbeck's story is a trip. He wrote about the "underbelly of society" according to the political leaders of the city he was from (Salinas, Ca) in his early/mid career. So much so, they kicked him out of town. After he blew up for his work, they felt shame for giving him the boot. There's now a big museum dedicated to him in downtown Salinas, The National Steinbeck Center. What this proves is capitalist only care about you if they can make a buck off ya, otherwise, get lost!

Right! I've also always been blown away knowing their DNA is circular. Probably since they don't have a nucleus, but not totally sure.

Ya, RPM Fusion is handled by a 3rd party I'm pretty sure. But I was thinking more along the lines of what software is available though.

I'd have to think RPM Fusion is comparable to the AUR, no? I've never used Arch btw, but I do know Fedora pretty well.

The fact she see's this as a marketing opportunity is repulsive. Truly makes me loath those with power in the US government. Even Arizona seeing as this lady believes this BS would be well received there.

For anyone new to the Linux world, I can't recommend Learn Linux TV enough. He has a video walking through this exact process, here's an Invidious and YouTube link for it.

As far as dual booting goes, issues can arise after updates. I recall this happening a few months back due to a Windows update. So just be aware of this possibly happening down the road. I need Windows for work at times too, but I strictly use a VM. I've hated Microsoft since Windows 8, their amount of user tracking is bonkers and a big part of why I just use a VM. This is just food for thought though.

JMP Chat works in the US even though they're based in Canada. I highly recommend the service, it's absolutely fantastic!

Definitely checkout JMP Chat, they're actually based in Canada and offer super affordable alternative phone numbers. Using their Cheogram app even lets you incorporate it fully into your phone, so when you call, it'll ask which number you'd like to use for the call. Calling has limited minutes each month, but the overage charges are very reasonable. It comes with unlimited texting as well. They encrypt everything on their end and it's fully open source!
