Do not forget that there is no democracy out there. No matter if it is USA, EU, Russia, they are all as far from democracy as Andromeda galaxy is from us. Humans "elect" a few others, in questionable ways, and then the few others take whatever decisions they want.

Have Russian creatures voted for this war? Was it a democratic decision? How about the American creatures, did they vote to go to Iraq or Vietnam and massacre those people? None voted.

Democracy is a myth, a ridiculous idea that has nothing to do with how anything is organized on this planet, or should be organized perhaps. Profit, birthed by trade, is a lot more of an influencer than anything else.

And so, if you get angry at Russia, do not forget that are not the Russians attacking anyone, but a handful of powerful people. Also do not forget that USA, EU, and the rest of the world, share the same bloody hands, but yet again it is not the people, but a handful few.

We cannot resolve conflict with conflict in the long run. Sure, it may be necessary to act aggressively if you are attacked, in order to protect yourself, but if there is no plan, no understanding, no approach at how to prevent such situations, your solution is momentary at best.

We need weapons of mass-helping rather than mass-killing. So that we create a global society of humans, who have free time to educate themselves, think, learn, create relationships, research, be creative, help each other. The only way out, long term, is to attack the world with solutions. To move beyond this mass-trading society. To free men from trade. To free the world from its effects.

War is not about who is right, but about who is left.

Improvements/Changes:

Latest ISO did not use the latest LTS Kernel.

Sorry about that. The latest ISO only used the latest kernel (515) for the live ISO. We fixed it now. To migrate to kernel515 you have to do it via Add/Remove Software. Via the Kernel Settings may fail due to how we setup the automatic backups.

So.

Open Add/Remove software and search for linux515 and linux515-headers. Make sure you select them from Repositories. Select and install. Reboot your computer. That should be it. You can check in the Kernel Settings if you are using the 515 one:

If you do not use it, reboot your computer and when you computer starts keep on pressing Shift until you see a TROMjaro menu. Select the Advanced options and then select the 515 kernels. That’s all.

We’ve added a cron job app.

The app is called Zeit and it is very useful. Imagine you want to tell you computer to open a certain app at a certain time, or any command or script. Now this app makes it so easy.

You can find it in the Settings Manager.

Clean Firefox even more.

In a new tab write about:config and press enter. Accept the risk and continue. Then paste:
browser.contentblocking.report.hide_vpn_banner and click the right button to make it true.

Ublock a few tweaks:

In Firefox, in the Ublock Origin Addon go to its settings and then enable the AdGuard URL Tracking Protection and AdGuard Annoyances.

Never forget this image:

We are tiny and fragile. And we are all on the same spaceship. Fighting with each other, polluting, destroying ourselves and the spaceship with its ecosystems, is a sign of a primitive species.

Technologically we are advanced. Morally, primitive still. We look for signs of intelligent life out there, but there seem to be none in here.

We have created a system of "politics" that is a mere fashion show. We do not know what is true anymore, nor that we ever knew. Science is here to help, but the incentive to trade made us merchants and consumers, so the value is in how much we acquire. Science is thus, mainly a tool to help us sell more. Build taller buildings for richer humans, make thinner smart-phones for stupid-consumers; better tanks and rockets to destroy the others: more plastic, more livestock, more of the same products wrapped in different wrappers, all on the backs of our capable technology.

Science tells us that we are all one, connected through evolution, entangled with the universe. Atoms, cells, planets. But who has the time to embrace this reality when we are all rats in a trade-race!?

Conquerors, emperors, politicians, are self delusional. Even their victories are momentary. We should, by now, go at war with cancer, pollution, biodiversity loss, homelessness, other diseases, asteroids....not with each other.

Your tanks and missiles won't bring peace.
Your lies and fake news don't exist.
Your words are swords, that only cut
A world of wars, online or not.

And even those who use no sword,
Their words are empty, their actions fold.
