Thanks for the heads up about the link, the Lemmy client I use has some bugs but I get to report them to the dev so points for me lol!

Check out Kustom Live Wallpaper, it isn’t a launcher but customization for the home screen can be had with some effort or no real effort.

Well a bunch are physical copies but they made the distinction of "mobile" versions as well (Gameboy physical version yes lol)

I read somewhere that Tetris has sold 520 million copies world wide.

EDIT: I read the article and they make the distinction of Teris having sold 520 million copies but it's a total of variations. Do they not consider Minecraft also has variants as well (Xbox One, Xbox 360, Bedrock, Java, Pocket Edition which are the "same" game but different)? All I know for sure is I bought like 7 or more copies of Minecraft so they better thank me lol.

Been there but it was 1 week later. 4 years of severe depression (and still going) and I haven't lost yet so I got that going for me.

My local library uses thin clients with virtual desktops but I have a feeling the library system here is funded much better than the OP's library.

I'm pretty sure was as liberal as they come. You don't hear conservatives saying give away all your belongings or help your fellow man.

Software is fine but OS wise there are lots less than there was 5 years ago and it only going to get smaller but at least there Debian.

They could do a thin client type of deal and just virtual desktops that get deleted at the end of the session. If they are on 32bit hardware that really limits options on operating systems but a single backend computer hosting virtual desktops can be a donated 64bit PC/Server.

A good portion of Europe have constitutions in place. The EU itself has a constitution. I'd also like to add that "freedom" means something different to different people so it's tough to say someplace is free.

The UK doesn't have a constitution and never had, they are ruled by a monarchy so what they do have only exists because the monarchy allows it to.

A lot of European countries have constitutions.

Does your country have free speech protections in its constitution?

The checks and balances system, the fact that the lawmakers also need to live under those same laws (I know, I know). Since it is a living document it can be made to be adjusted so there is less confusion or to add new protections. I just woke up so this may seem incoherent and I'm sorry for that.

I have and it was easy and where I live we don't have a stop and frisk law.

Wow, just wow.

Sorry, it wasn't meant to be a blanket statement of all countries but "other countries" as in there are countries that you can't talk shit about your government and it is much more than the 3 you mentioned.

It can also be much more subtle than it is in say North Korea. Russia seems to have a lot of people falling out of building windows when they oppose the government. Jails house political opponents, journalists, whistle lowers, and the like.

You are correct, it isn't a magic shield and that's why it needs to be protected and propped up to some degree. Like any real shield it won't stop everything but the less people believe in it the easier it is to take away. I don't agree with majority rules because that leads to bad things happening so it needs to be balanced out and in a lot of ways what you had gave as examples are when majority ruled. As for sedition, well the US' foundation was started with sedition.

I would rather take something that works most of the time than none of the time.

The US constitution has helped a lot of people out against the government (think of the police as part of the government as well). Other countries can't talk shit about the people in power or get arrested for speaking their mind, discord gets crushed, and leaders become dictators with ease. The alternatives don't seem better so why not prop up the constitution that gives the people the power to wield against the government.

Unfortunately the people who think it shouldn't be a "living" document that changes over time are usually idiots.

Me like cookies.

I was just watching a video about setting up home manager and like the main config file it's a neat idea. Now it's got my brain thinking I need to wipe a computer and give it a spin lol.

I didn't even know the package manager and home manager could run on different operating systems, now I need to look into that. I really do think NixOS has a great idea and that more distros should have an option to use such a thing. Nix almost seems like the perfect OS (relatively speaking).
