  • Windows XP had been out for quite a while, and I did not want to use it. Staying on 98SE was not going to be possible forever. Ubuntu was quite new, I had recently started uni, and some friends helped me get started. There was one thing that absolutely amazed me: package repository. Just the concept. Windows at the time, to install stuff was finding random pages, sifting through ads, locate download button, hope it is not a virus. Linux had it solved. So far superior it there was no way I’m going back after that.






  • Are you looking to learn linux more or have a easy living experience, or what is the goal? If you want to get to know linux, learn how to compile a kernel, make your own initramfs and such, then: absolutely! If you want a stable easily maintainable system, then… maybe not. Like it is possible, and Gentoo is very stable, but if you are just starting, then you may make choices that do break when you upgrade. With some experience, this will go away, but expect some downtime in the beginning.





  • They are deporting people because their job doesn’t pay them enough?

    Yes.

    Edit: Not only that. But when the state is the employer! (In a broader sense, at least, eldercare is regionally organized, not nationally)

    So since Sweden is part of EU and Schengen, it cannot deport EU citizens on this basis. So they tried to import EU citizens instead to fill the gap (who did not speak Swedish like the people they deported).

    It is the apparent inconsistency of the salaries being too low and too high at the same time which reveals what their intention is: racism. Do they think the salaries are too low? No, because then they would approach the public sector unions and say “we fucked up, here is your money”. It is only too low for some people. For some people, it does not matter if they speak the language, have a job, or whatever. Some people just need to go.


  • That does not matter to them. The far-right are completely unfazed by inconsistencies like that. In Sweden they started deporting immigrants – well integrated, working immigrants – because they had too low salaries. What was the limit? Higher than the collective bargained lowest salaries agreed on by the state and the union. Did the state raise the salaries then, because they just admitted they are too low to fucking live here? No. “Stay poor” is the message they want to give to citizens, and “go die” to immigrants.









  • Well, for one, at least the full interview: the questioning on his and his governments involvment in the Gaza genocide it feels the question from the SVT side is very incincere as they do not have a opponent that can represent that position, nor does hosts bring that position up. They just let the minister use the program for his view on the involvment. Usually what they do, at least for the far-right, is that they say that they cannot discuss certain topics as they do not have someone there to represent that point of view. Here, on the topic of genocide, they instead bring up the question and let his say his piece. The minister also talks about how these people in the pro-palestine movement has no limit to what they will do, but it is the anti-pro-palestine people who have actually committed acts of violence, such as driving into a protest, but SVT does not reply to this statement nor have a opposing side present.
