  • I like the ideas that people are saying about median and mean wage being the benchmark for congressional pay, but wouldn’t it be nicer if they had to meet metrics in order to get paid?

    Since they are supposed to serve the American people, making congressional seats commission-based would be nice. That way they’d actually have to put in effort to make their wages.

    And any form of bribery or donations should be considered treason, and the people that commit treason should be treated like traitors (Congress people and their donors).

    And on stock trading, having to report the trade a day in advance to some kind of congressional ledger would be nice. On the day of the trade, they have to mention wether or not they executed the trade, and that information should be made public. Or better yet, make their brokerage accounts on a platform designed just for Congress people, and they can’t make trades outside of that platform. All of the trades they make should be public.

  • The most widely used operating systems in the world are based on unix/linux. Android (the most used OS in the world), MacOS, iOS, ESXi (as well as most hypervisors that aren’t hyper-v) are all based on Linux/Unix. That’s not even mentioning routers, switches, load balancers, and other high performance networking equipment. Other critical internet infrastructure (like root DNS servers) are all based on Unix or Unix-derivitives.

    Just because it’s not a widely used desktop OS doesn’t mean that Linux/unix aren’t relevant.

    Not sure if you’re being serious or not, but I’ve personally had very little issue with gaming on Linux. To the Unix/Linux folks, windows 11 feels like a trash heap of bugs and blue screen crashes that suck.

    To be fair though: Desktop Linux isn’t for everyone. Making generalized statements about Linux is silly when you aren’t a Linux user. Feel free to keep doing it, though. And if this was bait: 10/10
