Well, for photo editing try Raw Therapee or Darktable!

Ok, wow! Kvantum and sddm not working are bad enough apart from the rest! I will stick with Kubuntu for now. Thanks for the report!

Yeah, it seems like such an unnecessary layer! Why login to your desktop, phone etc then have to login to a server also? I prefer to just open an application that has the feeds direct from source!

Does anyone use the Oneplus 6T? It is suppose to be the most powerful hardware that can run Postmarket or Ubuntu Touch.

Mooby gives good advice! I tried out different distros in vm’s for 6 months after which I found myself very familiar and living in one more than my base os. At that point I nuked macos and installed Kubuntu no regrets. Kubuntu is a great start due to the popular Ubuntu base. Kinoite would be a good choice for its immutability. If set on Opensuse then choose Gecko as a more friendly way to install it.

The baron knight who owned this castle was betrayed. When he was on the john the enemy was notified and they catapulted him. The Prostjana caves nearby are also awesome!

They are not quite aweful, but thank the tao Plasma is customizable and you can set your own icon set.

It is only a thriving (free market) society that has the resources and time to spend on humane projects. A free market society that embraces technology requires less and less manual workers. It does require more skilled (hence free) workers - not slaves. See farming. The American war of succession - where one side humanely denied a divorce. Forced relationships are so humane!

My point is the moral and economic superiority of the Free Market works in practice (not doctrine).

So I guess you cannot process anything other than black/white logical fallacies let alone analogies.

FLOSS is Voluntaryism - it only requires voluntary participation.

There are two ways for humans to interact: voluntarily, with consent, permission, through agreement and contract OR through force, coercion, mandation & compulsion.

Politics employs the later. When the former is violated it can require self-defence. FLOSS is a legal (not political) self-defence.

People can grow food in the absence of technology - but subsistence living is a hell of time!

nb. Marxists still have no answer for the calculation problem.

What? How the f do you transition from ‘not only’ to ‘isn’t necessary’? That is not logic - that is mental gymnastics with a triple back flip! Profit is the PRIMARY motivator! People wish to move away from discomfort more than anything else. Currency is the best way of alleviating discomfort!

The power of spontaneous order! ipencil ipencil

It is what Free Market economist Hayek called ‘Spontaneous Order’. You can either have free spontaneous order as evidenced in a libre market and voluntary interaction OR controlled chaos as evidenced in governments with their IP, as well as socialist aspiring Communists societies.

Yes, Communism fails to acknowledge human psychology and will therefore never work. People are individuals with self interests. This can never be controlled (without violence) by a socialist/communist society. The good news is you only need selfishness in a free market society. In order for people to get their needs met they need to offer value. Value exchange means all people are better off (on average).

Did you know the Scandanavian countries have more economic freedom than the USA! Its their saving grace. They also have many private roads. The early 20th c saw capitalist Nordic countries become very wealthy and store up sovereign funds. These funds were than blown dry in the later half of the century as they became more socialist. They have now abandoned many socialist policies and again adopted freedom. They do however still have high taxation.

The counter point would be - with only state protectionism in the form of IP the crony-capitalist sector would monopolise and dominate.
