  • It should be distro agnostic, yes. It’s a bios replacement so once it hands off to the OS it should be chill

    The reason why many people like coreboot is ownership over your system. The codes freely available to you, what it does is known, and this it’s harder to backdoor.

    As for functionality, by my understanding, this allows for updates way past what manufacturers are willing to support. Making older hardware much more secure.

    Other than support for older systems and peace of mind there’s not anything I’d know myself. It may be able to allow features that the bios doesn’t allow but the hardware supports as well but I don’t have any examples

    I’ll admit, I’m a paranoid man, so peace of mind and ownership over my system is the main allure. Also, I hate branding, and love to remove it where possible. Coreboot allows this








  • How is this different than leftist propaganda?

    It’s not. In no way, shape, and or form. Once more, you are not immune to propaganda.

    Again, I’m not stating you shouldn’t seek out people who disagree with you, I seek these people out often, but you need to understand what your brain will do.

    You should generally be cognizant of bias and the fact that you will, inevitably, accept without confirmation some information or internalize information you’ve confirmed incorrect. This is not only true to one group, and is just as true for those under the umbrella of “leftist” as much as under the term “alt right”.

    I will state it’s less dangerous to be less cautious here than a free speach absolutist community. Here, we value truth. There, they value all speach even objectively false. Here, you’ll see false info removed there, definitionally, or is not.

    Lastly, for fascism, death of truth is a defining reality. To paraphrase Mussolini let not truth stand on a pillar except insomuch as it assists in our goals. In the places where absolutist freedom of speach reigns fascists, famously very good propagandists, thrive. This is a danger above a left winger repeating false statistics around racism in the police force, or the rates of spousal abuse. Or even myself lying about that Mussolini quote at the beginning of this paragraph

    Thank you for the responce however and the respectful tone you took, I hope I clarified>


  • It isn’t about the greater idea, it’s about the small lies you don’t know you’re accepting. Of course that isn’t to say you can’t engage at all with this content (I certainly seek out people who disagree with me.) as you say, with constant effort and confirming everything you’ll catch most of it. No matter what you’re going to end up believing something without confirming it or even realising it. Good propaganda goes unquestioned. It seems like something obvious, small, and in some base way unquestionable.

    In a torrential downfall there’s no way to catch each raindrop, no umbrella that can block it all. You are going to get wet, even just a little.




  • If I had a 3d printer making negatives of the baddies a before casting them in chocolate, cake, or marshmallow would be wild.

    On a budget like I am I’m certain I could do something with cookies to make some or carve a marshmellow down, slime out of jello, etc. I’ve done 3d trees, but could also make my mini peanut butter cookies and use icing to paint the monster to be a token.

    Cheese would be a good medium as well however. Fuck man, I could do a three course dnd session. Charcuterie shiskabandits? Cheese pants, meat shirt, and a grape head all held with a toothpick?

    This would be fantastic for a kid, or very kid like adults. Ant on a log direwolf? Strands of twisted liqurice as tentacles for a rope or an abolyth? More ideas are welcome

    God dahm I kinda want to do that next time I run assault on gumdrop mountain. I don’t know if any of the PCs would actually eat during that specific campaign though lol


  • I’ve heard that too, though moreso from people giving explanations for articles, videos, and history/history adjacent books. Most of the time when talking to individuals in the church I’ve gotten the answer of growing the church. This mostly from missionaries and the local bishop.

    I have family who’re mormon and grew up in the church so what I’ve stated in regards to polygamy is anecdotal. Arguments or beliefs may vary defendant on location.

    The real reason I’d argue is due to joseph smith wanting to bang other wemon. The revelation came in the form of God wanting him to take another specific woman as his wife, and that his current wife must accept it.


  • The mormons have a living prophet, who personally receives revelations with a ‘direct line’ to God somewhat like the catholic pope.

    They also believe that these rules and their changes are necessary, as God sets the rules required to spread his faith. Polygamy is usually thought of (for lds) as a temporary act used to grow his re-created church via birth. Once it became a detriment, he saw it fit to disallow.

    It’s a powerful idea that makes it impossible for a person to see contradictions in a constantly changing religion. Any contradictions are simply God working in mysterious ways. He said what was needed, and now something new is required

  • Gpl licences don’t mean free as in no payments allowed, but free as in freedom. Many open source, even gpl, software is paid. All agpl, or gpl in general, means is that the code is free to copy as long as one abides by a set of pro-consumer rules while making your changes open too. It gives specific rights to the user or person who copies the project

    This means you could build or host this product for free if you wanted, taking the code and setting it up yourself, but their distribution of the code or hosting of their project can include a paid tier or payment upfront. As long as they give all code for the project to people who use it they’re not in violation of the agpl
