I just meant after support is dropped. The CIP I think supports each of its kernels for 10 years? So whatever the last kernel is before they officially drop support will still be maintained by them for a long time. :)

If anyone is actually using a 486 still, you can try using the kernels that the CIP maintains https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git They actually still support kernel 4.4

I’m very for used hardware, some of my stuff is dumpster finds. I just liked the thought experiment of replacing a hypothetical 486 pc with a brand new computer.

I didn’t even think about those. That might be a good bet!

This seems like the most interesting suggestion so far. I’ll look into those!

Thank you. I remember back in the day hearing they didn’t keep logs and figured “well alright sounds good!” and that was the end of it.

I’ll give Proton a try when my current plan of Nordvpn ends. Didn’t know Proton was open source either, so that’s pretty cool! Wish I didn’t get downvoted to hell for asking a question, but it is what it is.

What is so bad about nordvpn? What makes protonvpn better?

Been a nordvpn user for around 4 years now. If I need to switch I’ll do it, this is just the first time I’ve heard it isn’t all that great.

If Palemoon can still run the bulk of the web on a forked version of the old firefox engine, I doubt you’d notice anything breaking in the short term.

If this is all people cared about they’d be using Sid. Debian Stable is stable. It’s not there to be flashy and new. It’s there to work and stay working.

i don’t think I use any kde apps on my system at all

If flatpak didn’t make me put the entirety of KDE onto my system (thats an exaggeration but you know what I mean) I’d gladly crown it king of the package managers.

As an XFCE user, I dislike the reputation that xfce is only useful for low end old hardware. It’s a fully complete desktop just like cinnamon, kde, or gnome. lxqt however, I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Naw, I’m a lowly Debian user. I 100% understand the not wanting to tinker with shit all night though lol.

Now that you’re a linux user proper its time to bully you for using atomic. 😜

Just teasing, welcome to linux!

Did I say anything about China?

If you want to save the planet, that takes abolishing the capitalist system. Neither major party is going to implement real measures to fix that. Harris was running on stronger borders too so I really don’t think its a reach to say we’d be getting ICE raids and destroyed lives under her.

In the words of Malcolm X: “If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. The progress is healing the wound…”

Give me someone that wants to heal the wound. I’ll vote for them.

Too bad. I’m not voting for your people. I’ll vote for the party that represents my interests, which is how this is supposed to work

I voted for Claudia Delacruz. As long as there is someone on the ballot that represents my views better than the democrats, I will vote for them. I voted some greens, I voted some democrats, I voted some independents. That is the extent of the voting I will do. Voting left every single time.

Yes, and leftists don’t put the same value in identity that liberals do. We obviously care to some extent, we believe in national liberation, and historically the communist movements have supported black people in the US for example.

You know what those communists didn’t do though? Vote for liberals.

Also if you’re trying to say that minority groups are the most politically active…I’d agree. That’s why leftist groups are represented by large amounts of those people.

Leftists are not liberals. The things that matter to leftists are different than the things that matter to liberals. We have different goals. The things liberals advocate for do not move us towards our goals. We have no reason to support you.
