I think the professor himself is fed up with the situation, because as a researcher he is forced to publish his articles to for-profit publishers, who are basically the mafia gatekeepers, who profit from information that should be open to everyone. And the university profits from this lucrative business.
This Youtube video will open your eyes to this business: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKiBlGDfRU8
It's easy to explain. You and I are critical thinkers who do our own research and are not easily swayed. As for her, she herself said that she didn't do any research, but was influenced by her family:
But Hemphill said she usually votes for whoever her mostly Republican-supporting family recommends. Her family, drawn to Trump’s rallies and messaging, drew Hemphill in as well.
“I didn't realize that brainwashing was happening with Trump in 2016…this is how they would talk to me. ‘Pam, you know, the Democrats…are trying to take over. They're getting more aggressive.’ I tend to believe them. You know, I wasn't doing my own research.”
She said coming across facts by researchers helped her gradually drift apart from the MAGA group. Serving time in prison made Hemphill also rethink “who Trump really was” and the misinformation he spread surrounding the 2020 election, she said, to the point where she lost all support for him.
And that's why skepticism and critical thinking is important for a healthy democracy: you don't get carried away by these rhetorics and get brainwashed.
I assume you are North American, look for small ethnic food shops. You will find better food at a cheaper price.
Manjaro Linux. It has treated me well for two years. (Yes, I know about the controversy, I have had no problems with the distro for the last two years).
For old posts. I can't find new posts on DDG. I find them on Google but not on DDG.
Indeed. I have an AMD video card and multi-monitor VRR works beautifully in Wayland. But unfortunately, according to some replies (and yours), Nvidia doesn't support it yet.
Excellent explanation. Thank you
As I understand it, Haiku is not based on BeOS, but is an open source re-implementation of BeOS, just as Linux is not based on Unix, but Unix-like: https://www.osnews.com/story/24945/a-programmers-introduction-to-the-haiku-os/
Haha. we're officially old. I was an extremely competitive gamer back then. I played Quake 3, UT 99, Tribes 2, America's Army, etc. I was even in a Tribes 2 squad and we basically practiced for tournaments every day.
But now that life is stressful enough with the responsibilities I have, I just can't play competitive games anymore. I just want to enjoy the story. I no longer have the stamina and the reflex for competitive games anymore.
I use Proton Experimental to play my games and they all work without exception. I'm in my late 30s, so I no longer play competitive games that have a kernel rootkit, I mean kernel anti-cheat.
Basically, Linux gaming is like this: If you want to play competitive games with anti-cheat, stay or play in Windows. For all other games, play in Linux.
Woohoo!!!!
