I knew a guy who knew a guy who was abandoned by the bus driver (presumably because he took too long to pee) in a small town in the middle of the Thar. That's a desert

Perhaps if you ran Linux you'd be less crankyyyyy

No, I have never seen that anywhere. That being said I have not visited the US nor most of the other countries. I am a french citizen and although I have witnessed the odd little french flag hung up in gardens (very uncommon, but I've seen it) the prevailing sentiment in France seems to be a certain pride in gastronomy, sports and sometimes sciences, and a general tendency to criticize most governments. Rightly so, I think.

Holy shit. That's admirable

I don't think hivemind is a bullshit concept. It's another word for gregarian behavior. The observed dominance of a single point of view, amplified by the underlying system of upvotes that brings a visibility bias to already popular points of view.

Isn't that what we call the hivemind ?

Yes, as much as I dislike the increasingly moralist culture on there, it still has a bunch of great contributions, if you care to sift through the awful interface. Sadly it's got achievements now, which in my experience were so far confined to games. It's not something I want popping in a corner of my monitor completely unprompted while I am trying to focus on an insightful comment. Not the kind of thing you get with free software... my last experience with Linux was Fedora 20-something, one which I aim to reiterate now, fifteen years later, that Wayland has improved to the point of letting me use my hardware to its full potential (drawing tablet, multiple monitors, etc). I've already installed Mint on my wife's laptop, which she enjoys very much (because it gets out of her way), and I think I might go for Fedora again for my workstation later this year, or maybe Manjaro, who knows.
