That only matters if you ever plan on selling your home. Not everyone buys houses as an investment.

It’s also totally possible to survive on a cross for three days and for someone to take you down while you’re unconscious and put you in a cave.

Democracy isn’t the problem; it’s the money in politics, which is an intended effect of capitalism.
Capitalism is the problem.

There are two solutions for that. One is Waydroid, which is basically what you’re describing. Another is android_translation_layer, which is closer to WINE in that it translates API calls to more native Linux ones, although that project is still in the alpha stages.

Ideally also leave your car at home and take public transit while paying with cash or walking. CCTV and facial recognition are still issues, but you would be reducing your fingerprint a ton.
- Comment on Qualcomm and Google team up to offer 8 years of Android updates 1 month ago:
Not just Google, but the community has been hard at work with porting mainline Linux to phones. postmarketOS is the main OS that devices are initially ported to.
- Comment on Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico? 1 month ago:
More generally, the founders wrote the constitution as if every leader will act in good faith. That has proven to be a bad idea, but also how do you even account for that? Their idea was a system of checks and balances, but that failed to account for when one party has control over every branch, and for when one branch goes rogue and starts ignoring the other two branches, as we are seeing now with the executive.
IMO, limiting power (money in the case of a capitalistic society) is the only way. The founders had the right idea with the limitation of power, but they didn’t take that idea to the economic side of things. Force all corporations to be worker owned coops and have a hard wealth cap of $50 million by taxing anything over at a rate of 100%.

Yes, but DXVK is a very, very good translation layer and is very performant. I can vouch for it as a Linux user who uses it on a regular basis.
Some people even use DXVK to make older games run better on Windows (most notably GTA IV)

FYI, you can run RADV in Windows using an experimental patch: gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/…/29945

- Comment on Trump Paralyzes the U.S. Wind Power Industry | The president, who despises wind turbines, has paused federal permits and leasing for such projects, putting company plans in limbo 1 month ago:
The goal is to destroy government entirely so that a fully privately owned “government” is in control instead.
It’s all about personal enrichment for Trump/Elon and their friends, and it has always been that way on the right.

All that needs is some flux and more solder per joint.
Alternatively (and what I personally prefer), you can tin both ends and then join them together. In chemistry, the rule is called “like likes like”, which means that similar materials like to join together, and dissimilar materials don’t.

After the War on Terror was declared, it meant that the executive branch could essentially go to war with any country if they call them terrorists without former approval from Congress.

Sounds like some kind of addiction, possibly?
I’m not sure, but I’ll think about it while I heat up my dab rig to take some massive fat dabs so I can smoke a joint while loading a bowl.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 2 months ago:
It’s mainly a mix of economic frusteration and a divide and conquor strategy by the rich in order to have the masses blame immigrants and people of other races/religions/genders for all of their problems instead of blaming the elite class and capitalism.
There is another angle, though, and that’s sexual frusteration. When a teenage male has issues getting laid and they look online for some kind of support, they find people like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson who tells them that men who “get laid” are “alphas” or whatever and that women should be treated as subhuman or as slaves. These incels have likely never actually attempted to make friends with any women outside of a sexual context, because if they did, they would learn that women are the same as them, even when it comes to their struggles (even pertaining to dating/sexual frustrations).
I think the latter reason sparked the fire that made the first truely possible on a scale that we haven’t seen in our lifetimes.
