Many services will reject a VOIP number anyway. I know from experience. Its also been a lot harder to get one recently without already having a phone number.

I have a philosophy to always expose my craziest parts cuz if they dont like them it eventually wont work anyway so id play cupcakke x mario kart remixes for them

Cant wait to buy a used X Elite Thinkpad in 3 years once all the linux support is done and theyre cheap lol

Because christians literally forcibly converted everyone they could, and killed anyone who refused. Also it didnt die completely. Most people just worshipped in secret, and in some more rural areas it survived. Aswell as mixing with the christians culture and influencing them. Like Santa Claus is just Odin. A lot of Jesus's associations came from Apollo because Apollo was super popular in the roman empire and had lots of temples and when the romans converted them to churches a lot of the preists were like ok well im a preist of apollo thats what i know how to do so ill just keep doing what i always did but say jesus now instead. Laurel wreath on head, frankincense, etc. All Apollo things.

Most holidays trace their roots back pre-christian too. Christmas, Halloween, Easter, all can be traced back to old pagan traditions.

A big part of like christianity in general is converting others. Not all religions are like that most arent actually not even all christian sects are. Its why it spread so far cuz people who follow it actively try to spread it. Even today religious christian groups travel around the world trying to convert people. In areas they colonized they did the same, convert, or die tactics.

When you get so drunk you wake up and have no idea where you are or how you got there.

The world lol? More like America and its vassals.

In general in the west things that are done by the western nations are either ignored, spun as not as bad, or treated like "its history we changed" while they act as if socialists are pure evil. I think you were just experiencing that cognitive dissonance they got mad at you for pointing out their hypocrisy.

With what borders? Your insinuating the zionist entity would still exist how is it possible for palestine to be free, and for their lands to still be occupied by the zionists at the same time?

If you want a true path to a free palestine ill give it to you.

Step 1: Stop the genocide. The israeli state stops their agression and stops killing innocents. A full ceasefire.

Step 2: Demilitarization, and international intervention. The israelis, and hamas surrender their weapons, and send their soldiers home as an international UN peacekeeping force enters the region to maintain peace. Led by South Africa preferably. Freedom of movement is granted to all people in the territories, and equal citizenship is granted to all palestinians, and israelis in the unified levant territory state. The international community would need to pour humanitarian aid into the country to stabilize it at this point.

Step 3: A civilian governemnt is elected by the unified electorate of israelis, and palestinians including the millions of displaced palestinians currently in places like jordan who would be allowed to return home if they chose to.

Step 4: reconciliation. The new civilian government must decide what to do with the stolen property and homes. Most likely many zionists would flee the nation back to where they came from much like the whites in south africa did, but if they chose to stay then youd have to make sure anyone whose family had lands stolen either got those lands or equivalent lands back, and zionists would have to give up what they stole. In a democratic situation palestinians outnumber settlers so theyd dominate the new government, and zionist policies would be a non-starter.

Step 5: Trials. You would need a nurenburg style trial for the war criminals who orchestrated the genocides against palestinians. Justice would be needed. Altho i imagine many zionist criminals would try to flee to the US, or Germany.

Step 6: peace? I think that israelis who are ok with the freedom and liberation of palestinians and who chose to stay would find themselves welcomed by palestinians in this new Palestine, and while old wounds would take time to heal i do think given proper policy, and a end to the fighting most people would just want to rebuild, and live in peace. The new civilian government at this point could begin to form a new defensive military, and once it was able to secure its own borders the UN forces could withdraw.

This process would take decades probably, and would require the United States to step in and force Israel to stop its agression as Israel is a protectorate of the USA. Its a very unlikely scenario, but it is the only peaceful solution. To end the occupation, and the genocide.

thank you i updated my comment

Imagine Israel does so much horrible shit that all the sides in the Syrian Civil War just agree to stop fighting eachother and fight Israel instead for now.

Teams is horrible and i love it. ive managed to do so much less work because teams wont work. People dont even question it if i say oh teams never notified me of that im so sorry! When i was really just taking a nap.

Honestly Linux does work pretty much just as well as MacOS if you run it on hardware thats super well supported and that tons of linux users use. MacOS has integration with its hardware because its all made by the same company. They only have to support a few models of computer.

If you installed Linux Mint today on a Thinkpad t480, and on some obscure weird laptop with rarely used hardware your gonna get 1 install that just works out of the box and your gonna get 1 that you have to hunt for drivers, and do tons of work on. Its just the nature of being able to use any hardware. Some will work better than others.

If you want an example of how to increase adoption you pick a line of computers thats of high quality and have them be supported by the community a ton. Then you convince the company that makes these computers to ship a version of them with linux pre-installed, and potentially help atleast with funding the development of whatever distro they use.

If your average user bought a laptop, opened it, turned it on, and it had linux on it and worked relatively well, they are never going to change it. Its not a normal thing to just change your OS most people don't even know that you can do that. I gave my grandmother a linux mint laptop and she thinks its windows.
