EAC does support Linux and there's games out there using it. It's the kernel level stuff that won't work because Linux refuses to support it, a decision I completely agree with. I don't want arshole game developers fucking around in my kernel.

It's the "if you can" part that's holding it back. There's a lot of devices, both clients and WiFi systems, out there that don't support it well.

Anyone still using "Text Messaging"?

All paths that make the Federal Government more representative should be pursued but uncapping the HoR is far simpler and easier than ending gerrymandering and FPTP. In fact I'd say that uncapping the House is the first step towards the other two!

Behaving like a shithead has consequences. Hanging out with corrupt shitheads has consequences.

Welcome to the real world Elon. Now cry me a river and get the fuck over it.

Yep, I'd forgotten about it.

I wouldn't. The EU / Europe as it exists right now in 2025 might, and that's a definite might, look better than America but it's going to look very different in 10 to 20 years. Every nation in the EU is standing on an economic knife edge while waiting for their demographic bomb to go off.

The European rearmement that's being discussed makes it worse; when things go bad, and they will, they'll be armed up and ready to repeat their last 2,000 years of near constant warfare.

Unless your over 65 its quite likely that you'll see it happen in your lifetime.

But if it were a union of smaller countries like the EU, they’d (hopefully) keep each other in check.

Since the Romans withdrew circa 450 the European Nations were almost always at war with one another until 1945; nearly 2,000 years of conflict! The peace they've enjoyed post WWII is because they were focused on an external threat (U.S.S.R.) and the United States functioned as a playground monitor.

So historically speaking they will absolutely NOT "keep each other in check".

While the idea of one incredibly powerful union scares me (see what they did in the middle east)

America's adventurism in the ME was but a blip compared to the literal centuries that the Brits and the French have spent fucking up that area of the world. Does no one study history anymore?

People should have learned after the US’s faults

The U.S. huh? That's who you are going to go with during a discussion of European Imperialism and world power? The Euro's were out fucking up the world before the United States existed and a full half of the world is still desperately fucked up from literal centuries of horrifically brutal European Imperialism.

If you need lessons on anti-imperialism you don't need the United States, just take a gander at the Europeans own histories.
