  • I said it before and I’ll say it again, Linux mint is the work horse of all the distros! Its easy, it usually just works, it’s the distro you pick when you want to get work done.

    I have been using Linux for 2 decade’s now and have tried all the major distros. Somehow I keep getting back to mint because I don’t spend too much time to get it just right, and I actually spend time on my work.







  • The world isn’t this black and white, so you can’t just compare things at a basic level like this

    For example the Netherlands has intuition fee’s for universities. It’s about 2500 euro per student per year. I’d much rather have it free, but it’s still nothing compared to the 50K or 100K some people pay for an American University





  • The US banned Huawei, is close to banning TP-Link, so there is definitely a fear over Chinese spyware. It’s a very real risk, just like Russian anti virus software (Kaspersky) had been banned recently.

    But even if you don’t believe it’s about spyware TikTok should still be banned for economic reasons. China basically blocks all non Chinese socialmedia apps, so why would we accept Chinese social media? The playing field should be equal, banning TikTok makes it more equal.

    I don’t really believe Gaza has much to do with it, you can find the same content on YouTube or X or other platforms.









  • On Wikipedia it says

    Mmt principals (nr 3) Is limited in its money creation and purchases only by inflation, which accelerates once the real resources (labour, capital and natural resources) of the economy are utilized at full employment

    So you can’t really always print more money, unless you don’t care about inflation (that mostly screws the middle class).

    I’m not sure what OPs argument is, but maybe it’s something like, if we have very high inflation the rich will actually lose money as their savings have less value. While at the other hand wages go up.

    This argument is flawed, as the rich usually don’t have savings, but investments. Those will actually just go up with inflation. Like if you invest in stocks, gold or houses, all of those will go up in times of high inflation.

    So printing money is just going to screw the middle class with some savings in the bank. It’s also going to screw young people that don’t own a house.
