Don't remember exactly, but much of it was niche software that others (not the original authors) had modified to be easily installed through AUR. So out of the box it was easier to find what I wanted.

Someone got the link to that website that lets you test distros in browser?
Currently running KDE Neon (Debian based) and I can recommend it. I wanted to use an Arch distro, especially for the wide software support, and I liked Endeavour OS, but I couldn't keep it from exploding itself, so having the stability of Debian and 95% of the software I want appears to be the compromise.
Where do we cop one?
Columbo asks the hard truths, like "what if poly people are evil?"
Is that fucking Gilbert?
Who the fuck pulls a gun and then sets it down next to the person they're threatening
There was a ton of hippie theorizing at the time acid really hit big that it could revolutionize things if there was mass adoption because basically it makes you really silly and joyful, and unable to take anything seriously. I genuinely think that it was a threat of some sort, that the threat contributed to the need for a war on drugs.
Ok this is good to know, because I could see that there had to be some reason it was so popular with Israelis but I have no idea what.
Probably the greatest idea so far. Flyover while blasting Esa Mighty.
That sucks so bad man, I'm sorry.

I just got back from the Ozora music festival, the amount of Israeli propaganda there was insane
(hexbear.net)
I just spent the last week at the Ozora Psytrance music festival in Hungary and it was a pretty amazing experience, especially as it was the first music festival I've ever been to.
What I was not prepared for however, was the gobsmacking amount of Israeli propaganda just absolutely everywhere, and it only got more and more blatant as the week went. I'm being made to understand that this is actually fairly normal and apparently "Israelis love colonizing festivals". Apparently they also really love psytrance festivals, and used every opportunity to invoke the memory of the NOVA psytrance festival that was caught in the crossfire on Oct. 7th.
I posted a direct response about it in the festival subreddit here, but I feel like there is so much left unsaid.
The whole thing being rooted in psychedelics just adds several additional points. First, it is straight up baaaad vibes, in place where "vibes" are super important, the constant barrage of blatant propaganda just absolutely pollutes the headspace. I found myself being unable to ignore it at multiple levels of tripping. The propaganda spanned from the more mild but still blatant "in remembrance of" sorta stuff, up to straight war propaganda including what I can only describe as "Star of David Totenkopf" which is probably the most disgusting thing I've seen in awhile (I'll attach it as the main image).
It's a psychedelic hippie festival, everyone wants to be yoga, free love, and good vibes, no one wants to escalate or fight the Israelis, so they go entirely unconfronted on their disregard for everyone around them.
I'm also trying to process how psychedelics revolutionary potential appears to be completely captured, how they were meant to be a tool to free the mind from fascism, but then here it appears to be made near totally inert, incorporated into this new sort of "Candy Fascism". I get how a type of nihilistic hedonism is part of fascism, but how this has actually developed boggles me.
Why aren't you doing what you need to do? Do you really need to do all of it? What's the one thing you need to do, will it be that difficult to start to do it?

Almost too much at this point. Gonna be curious to see how everyone is syncing because the built in service is dogshit.
