Even if you were making the point you think you’re making… The US already has employer-contributions to health care, and its a whole lot. My experience likely isn’t the norm as I’m in a union position, but my employer foots the bill for something like ~70% of my health insurance. They take a chunk out of my paycheck, but it’s still only maybe 1/3 of what it actually costs.

So if you want it to be a fair comparison, you’re going to have to take that into consideration too. If you’re suggesting that an employer in an EU nation will pay someone less because they have to shell out to contribute to their health insurance, then you need to realize that the same conditions are present here.

It’s not really fair to only include that on one side of the equation, when it is happening on both sides.

And the concept of tying it to employment is not only idiotic and nonsensical, but actually pretty devious.

US GDP is much higher than most (all?) European nations. California, on its own, is the fifth (at least the last time I looked) largest GDP in the world when compared to nations.

The US also has a massive population, which means a much larger insurance pool, which means the risk is spread out over a much larger swathe of people (and ethnicities, lifestyles, etc.).

So I’m not going to say this pic is accurate, as I have no actual numbers on this… But I also don’t think it’s fair to assume that it will cost the same % of GDP as nations that are a fraction of our size (and are often nearly homogeneous population-wise).

It’s not confusing at all… How is this any more confusing than:

Flatpak - they’re not literally flat…

Snap - I’ve never seen or heard any evidence of something snapping by any definition of the word I’m aware of.

Dolphin - what the fuck is this, no sea life whatsoever!

Kate - this is a text editor, not a person.

Distrobox - not in an actual box.

etc.

It’s not semantics, they are two different things.

And to your edit… Are you upset that there are two different words that mean two different things? I don’t understand.

they decided to create a bigger confusion by giving another word a completely different and exclusive meaning

Isn’t this just how words work…?

Do a little research, dude… Do you think you’re the first person to have those questions/issues? That’s all been addressed.

I’ve been on an atomic/immutable distro for a few months now (Bazzite), and the experience has been great.

Right after? What year is it?

Plasma is KDE, it’s a desktop environment… So it would be comparable to “Cinnamon” or “MATE” for Linux Mint (I believe. I’ve never used Mint), not Fedora or Mint (which are distros).

You should be able to run Fedora with KDE and Wayland should work (unless it’s a hardware compatibility issue).

I used timeshift (plus timeshift-autosnap, and I think it was, timeshift-btrfs) for a couple of years on EndeavourOS, and it saved my ass on multiple occasions. Btrfs made it so the snapshots were iterative, and therefore only the first one is large.

Now I’m on Bazzite (loving it), and ostree has basically made snapshots obsolete.

I’ve been on Bazzite for a month or two now, and the experience has been fantastic. Still learning about ostree, and the quirks of immutable, but so far I’ve been loving it.

I went from EOS to Bazzite, and I can recommend both of them.

Just ignore the existence of proton, despite it being mentioned by name.

To be fair, Windows has its own jank. As someone who is forced to use Windows 11 for work, I’m much happier putting up with the minimum Linux jank I’ve experienced compared to the Windows jank.

If any of that made sense.

Good to know, thanks. If the FreeTube flatpak is working for me, I might as well try the Newpipe one if it’s that much better. I guess I just assumed that the translation layer would add CPU overhead.

I’ll have to look into Grayjay. Is there a flatpak? I’m on immutable, so flatpak is much preferred.

I dunno about all that… but I guess it’s a positive that you’re at least acknowledging that this is about sanctions and not racism or some other stupid bullshit.

Was wondering if something like this would happen

I’ve been using FreeTube on desktop and it has worked great (with VPN)
