  • Does it actually matter what the names of the stores are? From context, I know you know they’re chain stores, as opposed to “mom and pops” regardless of location, and more or less what they sell.

    Do you expect me to know what country you’re from and tell you the stores near me are actually the stores near you?

    I don’t live near a Tesco, or a Tim Horton’s, yet if I didn’t know what those were and you put them in a post about places you’re forced to buy food, as opposed to the small shops you wish you had, I could safely assume they were grocery stores.

    Stop making “US Defaultism” an issue where it isn’t. It is real, and this isn’t it. I am a person describing my experiences and I happen to live in the United States. Why on earth would I write about how inconvenienced I am by a brick-and-mortar chain electronics store in Germany?






  • Several companies sell computers that have Linux by default, System76’s Pop_OS! being one example.

    I get that its not a big brand like Dell or Lenovo (who I think sells some Linux laptops? Could be wrong), but they’re out there and the distro is just gonna be dependent on the company selling the machines.













  • who will fix the potholes?

    Make the libertarians do it! /s

    Idk, ive fixed a pothole or two that bothered me near home, but yeah, I’m not doing a whole city lol

    I think though that once people realize the onus is on them to fix things, people will start to fix things. Provided of course, that they have the means and ability to do so.

    And then, there are still companies which can be hired to do these things, provided someone is willing to pay them
