Either company cars, leased cars or someone has the spare 30k for a car.

And of course people take out loans for cars too, but thats less common. And not really necessary in the cities.

Yeah, u buy a used one for like 2,000 - 3,000€. Or you lease. But taking on a loan with 16.9% interest would not cross my mind.

If i cant afford a car, then i aint buyin one.

Wtf is that last sentence.

Dont know, but i had to go that route.

And again, on Windows, i wouldnt have to do that. I just download the program and there it is.

Let me just propose a different scenario: i watch football via Wow.tv. Before i installed Linux, i

1. Opened up a browser
2. Went to the website
3. Entered a password
4. Watched the stream.

On linux i tried that, got hit with the old “DRM content on Linux” razzledazzle, tried to figure out if i could install a browser that runs via wine to access the site, only to get hit with four forum entries all saying: “Why tf do you want to run a browser via wine? Dont do that.”

I had to whip out my old windows laptop to watch my footie.

I love linux. I love being able to tinker and do all the cool stuff on it, being independent of large corps and such. But for a lot of people this isnt worth the hassle. And not recognizing this is one of the reasons why Linux will not reach mass adoption.

Get angry, frustrated and ask someone who knows. And because more people are using Windows, chances are, they will find the answer way quicker. Also, most programs already run on windows.

Like when i wanted to set up my Proton Drive on Windows, i just downloaded it and started it.

On Ubuntu, i had to write a systemd.service to get the program to autostart on starting my machine. Which was fun, but it isnt for a lot of people.

This is the same guy who shouted out a news station for hosting a certain contest: “If you can prove 6 million jews died, we will give you 6 million dollars.”

The year of linux will never come because a lot of people wanna boot up their pc and have it work. Just fire up a program and have work, without looking up workarounds and clis and other stuff.

I made the jump just this month but i can totally understand if someone doesnt wanna do this.

Spanish civil war, colorized.

More importantly, it would not be illegal in Austria.

Japan had been holding out for a positive response from Soviet Union. The delusional high command thought they could craft aj alliance against the US. After the USSR invaded, the leadership went into a tail spin. It would have been a matter of days before they would have surrendered.

The US did not want the USSR to push deeper into Manchuria and Korea, so they dropped the a-bombs.

An invasion wasnt necessary. A blockade and a week of fighting on the continent by the USSR would have sufficed.

Bukharin, Rykov, Tukhachevski, Ryutin, Kamenev, Zinoviev, Trotsky, Tomsky, Smirnov, Ter-Vaganyan, Eidemanis, Blyukher…

I could go on for pages. Men, who had ensured that the Soviet Union even existed and who were executed on Stalin’s orders.

Have you ever visited .grad or even just .ml?

In before they claim that dessalines isnt a communist.

As far as tankies are concerned, everyone not glazing Stalin or Mao is a shitlib or a centrist.

Me?

What

Almost as if every economic system is capable of causing famines and genocides.

In party internal elections, getting less than 70% is an embarrassment. Everywhere. Comparing them with general elections is certainly something.

Socialists predicted that the US would cozy up to russia?
