This isn’t the first empire. Masses can be brainwashed. You can even have multiple layers of brainwashing, like how Republicans are extremely brainwashed, and Democrats are secondarily brainwashed to think they’re the moral opposition, while both of them unquestioningly support the undercurrent of global imperialism.

Literally the only escape is the entire population being fully educated on the nature of politics, economics, societies, history. A people cannot realize a free and just society without completely understanding what that requires. Until then you’re all just a fish flopping around on the floor of a boat.

I was about to say, half the things people write complex shell scripts for, I’ll just do in something like Perl, Ruby, Python, even node/TS, because they have actual type systems and readability. And library support.

Bad usability, binary logs, crummy architecture.

It sort of is, the whole elogind thing.

Piped to wc -l, I get…360. Don’t tell anyone how I live.

Even better, ~/.local/share/

Idk why you’re leading with writer pay, going into actor pay (most don’t make squat) and then execs at the big companies involved are tossed in as an afterthought. Probably why you’re getting downvoted.

I’ve done it a fair bit and it’s actually pretty painless. If you know how to use vim you save a ton of keystrokes, which makes a big difference on mobile.

…ssh and vim?
