    Well it got one thing right, but missed important context. Aushwitz was primarily a labor camp and crematoria like they had there couldn’t handle it. Aushwitz had the extermination just like a side hustle, so they didn’t need it too big.

    Now the likes of Birkenau, not far from Aushwitz - that was a death camp. And with much more massive crematoria to handle the death toll. And that crematoria was destroyed by Nazis when it was clear the Allies will reach them because it was clear evidence of genocide.

    Aushwitz is an important site and while chilling and terrible, it doesn’t compare to what was happening elsewhere.















  • I went with Mint and it is great. Gives me Windows 98 vibes, inca good way. It is really intuitive.

    You will need the terminal only for some more advanced stuff and maybe some setup steps, like getting Proton VPN. You really just copy and paste the commands Proton has in their instructions, that’s it. Mint is not officially supported but works fine - only issue I have is that while it launches on startup just fine, I have to connect manually. Support wouldn’t help as Mint is “not officially supported” but that’s about it.

    Switching to Linux looks like a monumental task at first, but once you establish a beginer friendly distro you’d like to use it’s really straightforward. I can vouch for Mint in this regard.


  • It’s not that I try to ne hardcore. Reddit was alright, but I felt subconciously it is going to shit for some time. But I liked the format, so I stayed. The API fiasco just showed the really bad face of it (mainly how it was handled) and made an opportunity for people to talk more about alternatives. Sure, Lemmy doesn’t have as much stuff as Reddit, especially for more niche topics but I enjoy my stay much more.

    I peeked in a couple of times but not for long.
