America already permits forced unpaid overtime, especially on corporate positions. We just hide it better I guess?
Oh and we also permit slave labor, provided the “slave” is also a criminal of some kind.
I’m sure there’s other examples but that’s all I have at the moment.
Seems like a stop gap, is there supposed to be some larger plan to turn Greece around?
How’s that any different that salary workers in the US that are exempt from OT protections and are required to work extra hours for free or else be subject to discipline, up to and including losing their job?
A lot of modern western countries do the same stuff and just hide it better or target groups that won’t speak out.
The point is that you are asking the wrong question sort of. If we only accepted physical remnants of someone or their life to prove they exist, Jesus wouldn’t be the only one we would have to throw out.
Not to say I know how to prove stuff historically, it does sort of seem like magic sometimes. If we found out today that carbon dating was off by a magnitude I would not be shocked, so that’s all the faith I have in it due to my bad understanding of it.
Pretty clear by the fact they keep asking for further clarification. Why’s everyone so afraid to try and engage further?
They replied elsewhere, that victim is a personifying trait and that applying it to inanimate objects makes no sense.
While corporations can be the victim of an attack in the technical sense, we wouldnt feel bad for the corporation because a corporation has no feelings that could be hurt, or any hopes that could be dashed, or whatever other reason someone might feel bad for a victim of something.
In the table example, the table is a victim of the spilled drink but that is a meaningless distinction because a table that is a victim is exactly the same as that same table when its not a victim.
You could say that the owner(s) of the business are the victims however, as they do have hopes and dreams and ambitions that are affected by these things. While you might still conclude the owners aren’t owed any sympathy, its for different reasons than a table would receive no sympathy.
Skip bottles, havent found a use case for it that lutris didnt handle. Not saying you might not use it for some specific situation, its just never happened to me.
Lutris is a GUI and front end that runs emulators and calls them runners.
Wine is a runner for windows, proton is steams version of it. You can add you local games to steam and then use the compatibility menu in game properties to enable the proton emulator.
Some distros come with all this preinstalled, makes it very easy. Some of them you have to install each piece individually. I dont know which mint is, but I’d look into that first so you know what to expect.
For example popos came with it all preinstalled while endeavouros did not.
I really can’t recommend popos enough for those that have a wider use case (work, browsing, gaming) that want a reliable and out-of-the-box experience with little hastle. Its created by a company that ships their hardware with the OS so you get to piggy back on the support there, and Ubuntu is, IMO, extremely forgiving and intuitive to learn as opposed to arch
Its the same as windows but the amount of OS specific help youll find is lower since less people use it. It helps to figure out which version of linux your distro is based on and look for help with that instead to broaden the results.
For example on my popos station I usually search for Ubuntu help, and on my endeavouros system I would search arch help.
The good thing about linux though is its all the same ideas just packages slightly different, kinda like learning slang.
Start with the terminal, how to open it and where it is, then how to move around the directory (usually CD, with a few modifiers for moving up or down), list directory contents so you can “see” them, and manage it with removing or touching (creating) objects or folders.
Then figure out how to install packages, this should have a mint specific page for it though. Every dostro has a few things they explicitly explain and package mangement is almost always one of them.
They will likely list a few different methods, test each of them out with some apps you planned on installing already, or just find safe test ones to add and remove.
If you have time though you can figure this stuff out as each hurdle appears, rather than speed running them, but this is how I would approach a new linux distro at first.
Also dont be afraid to scrap it and try something else if you decide its not working for you. I ran bazzite for a week before changing to endeavouros and I’m very happy I did.
Edit to add: for crack specific stuff, honestly there doesnt seem to be any sort of segregating the legal and non-legal communities when it comes to linux. Feel free to look or ask in the same places you would ask for legitimate support, but do be careful you dont get into the habit of blindly trusting any script posted in a YouTube video.
Lutris handles it very well, simply has an add button in the top corner with a few options:
Install with windows executable: games that need an installer first
Preinstalled game: if you have a game or drive that doesnt need to be installed, you can just tell it where the .exe is and what runner to use.
Search lutris: great for software or things that are free to download from the browser. Basically preconfigured install packages. For example I installed PlayStation plus via their installer.
Lutris uses runners to emulate systems, wine is the windows emulator, it also has retro game emulators and such. There’s a runners section in the preferences in lutris.
The prefix is confusing at first, but the default selection usually works. The prefix is just the folder the emulator files are installed in. Each folder with a wine game gets a c drive and program files and all that, and I usually install the games themselves in the “c” drive. You can make a new one for each game or share them between games. Sorta like docker containers for games.
Super easy stuff, not everything works but protondb.com is a place people post if it works on linux or not and what fixes might be needed.
If you DM I can send you some specific walkthroughs or videos so you can walk through it a step at a time.
If you can bring a drive with preinstalled games from your windows installation, that will give you a huge head start. Most will be add to lutris and play. Thats it!
P.S. anything you have in steam is even easier, steam loves linux
The fact you misrepresented their point to make it sound like a gotcha moment says more about you then the person you replied to.

I picked the first resource off duckduckgo, read through most of it and it lines up with what I had thought.
And then here is about b12:
I think its possible you meant b12? Its not found naturally in anything besides meat from my understanding but it is synthetically added in some common vegan staples like alternate milks
It sorta sounds like a copout but being vegan on a day to day basis means checking what is in every little thing you eat or drink, I mean literally checking labels and searching ingredients. And then you have to apply this thought process to every other area animals are used:
-Bath supplies -cleaning supplies -clothing/shoes -transportation …and so on.
Best advice is to just pick whichever area you feel most knowledgeable or capable in, and become “vegan” in that category.
I’m not even entirely vegan, although its mainly because I’m still learning a lot about all the different ways animals come into our lives without realizing it.
P.s. almost forgot the parts vegans split on in some occasions, like with sugars or honey.
Well I didn’t know about any of that and that’s all awful.
Makes me upset healing people has been twisted so much. Shocking there’s anyone left in the field under those conditions.
