Way to go, guys!

You’re either woefully uneducated with a bitter attitude or just a troll. Either way, your complete refusal to even perform a 10-second google search to confirm or refute your claims shows you’re not willing to accept any new information outside of your completely-incorrect viewpoint. Have a good and lonely life so others can be spared from your ignorance. For everyone else, successful and long-lasting communes do exist. There are a wide variety of “Alternative Lifestyle” or “Intentional Communities” out there. It basically boils down to, “what are your motivations and prospects for joining such a community?”. From wiki “The multitude of intentional communities includes collective households, cohousing communities, coliving, ecovillages, monasteries, survivalist retreats, kibbutzim, hutterites, ashrams, and housing cooperatives.” With a 30-second search I located this page with over 946 communities signed up (many across the U.S.) that you can register with if you’re interested. These types of communities have a wide-range of goals or how they operate, such as Living Energy Farm’s technology driven mandate “We are an intentional community farm and sustainable technology research, development and education center. We serve as a viable demonstration that a fulfilling life is possible without the use of fossil fuel. Our mission is to serve as an example and actively promote lifestyles and technologies that are truly sustainable, and to make these sustainable technologies accessible to all persons regardless of their income or social position.” All the way to the other side of the spectrum which the above commenter probably perceives all communes to be (Awake-In Heart Healing Center), “The driving force of our vision is to bring back unity, generosity, and community, as well as helping the next generations thrive using natural principle of wisdom.” I personally prefer somewhere in the middle like the European Eco-village template. Just search “eco village community” on youtube and pick a video that looks interesting to you to start your journey. If articles are more your style, he’s an excerpt talking with a commune that’s been around for over 40 years. Would-be members used to contact Bergholt Hall, one of Britain’s longest standing farming communes, at the rate of 70 or so a year: 50-something empty nesters looking for companionship; 30-something couples in pursuit of an idyllic upbringing for their children; 20-somethings keen to erect a yurt on the hall’s rolling Suffolk pasture. Since the Covid lockdowns, however, Hodgson admits, it’s been “bonkers”. “We had 70 applications in April and May alone.” It’s a pattern echoed across the UK, with communes reporting being inundated by new applicants of all ages, driven by the Extinction Rebellion movement and its focus on low-carbon living and, more recently, by the glimpse that lockdown has offered of simpler, less consumption-driven, lifestyles. There are more than 400 such “intentional” communities across the UK. Many are cohousing set-ups, in which residents live in individual dwellings with a few common areas and domestic functions; others are based upon a lifestyle or worldview (spiritualism, gender non- binarism, veganism) and feature a variety of communal labour arrangements and facilities. A surprising number are longstanding country communes, such as Bergholt Hall, founded in the heyday of the 1960s and 70s back-to-the-land and self-sufficiency movements. It was an era when an ideological generation of “diggers” (named after the 17th-century English communards) sought to challenge notions of the sanctity of the nuclear family and opt out of “the grab-game of straight society” (as hippy bible Oz magazine put it in a 1968 article on the first London digger commune). source If anyone wants to talk about cooperatives then feel free to contact me or reply to this message. It’s an interesting topic and I believe a sustainable way to exist on this planet if instituted large scale. Want to work off the land and help the direct community? There’s a place for you. Busy working and just wish to contribute financially while living in the community? There’s a place for you. Want to start up a company that your passionate about? Imagine having a community with a plethora of talents to help you and that you can equitably share income with! You can form a cooperative business within a commune and bring in workers from outside the community to share in your prosperity. The possibilities are endless, the outcome is fair and sustainable. With enough cohesion you can combine with other businesses to form a mega-cooperative like the Land O’Lakes example above. The only thing stopping you is individual greed, which we’ve seen how that’s played out so far in our history.

Do you feel sad about the fact that you'll probably die within 100 years (or less) and you (well... that's most of us tbh) can't do much to leave a significant positive legacy?

Depends on your definition of “significant positive legacy”. If you’re drawn to the fame and notoriety of public figures as a template for this legacy, then I’d say these types of people already put their lives out in public for you to follow as a template. You will likely be seen as a narcissist in some circles. On the other hand, many games and thinkers instill the rationale that you are the sum of your choices. Your karma - or action logic perhaps - will ripple around you with consequences - intended or not. These choices raise a new legacy of being an example. A lot of people want to just live their lives in their own peace, make a living, do what they can to support their people. Such folks receive no fame, and no notoriety. They do everything necessary. There’s no thanks expected. But they make human life worth it. I’d rather be a part of this example. Together Everyone Accomplishes More In many ways, we all entered the same game with the same example of team. We all wake up, work, transit. Everything has to come together in order for us to get back home safely. It has inherent value, and is a “legacy”. What I think of as “legacy” is also your heritage and your birthright. You inherited someone’s legacy to be possible and to be here. There are forces that threaten this example. People who want to do violence to it, destroy it, pillage it, profit from it, you have to choose to protect it. They don’t want you to see your own worth. They don’t want you to see the value in others. They want you to stay small, and deny your heritage. How you protect this example, and the vulnerable, is up to you. EDIT: I’m just using the terms you and they in a generic sense. I don’t literally mean you to single any specific person out. Similarly, I’m not literally talking about “they” like some kind of secret cabal reference. They is an ever changing reference to any kind of opposing force - be it person or system or effect.

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?

It’s good that LibreOffice exists and it can be a decent replacement for someone writing a simple document every once in a while. I can not take anyone seriously who claims it is anywhere near as good as the MS stuff. Recently I created a presentation in Impress and it was hell on earth. I ran into multiple bugs and handling formatting was just horrid working with the master/template slides (or whatever they are called) was essentially impossible. Currently working with OnlyOffice which works better by a considerable margin.

hmmm

I think it’s really brilliant marketing. If it didn’t say shatterproof, I never would have contemplated how shatterable my ruler is. Ruler durability was never even on my radar. Since it did, I broke mine on the first day of first grade while testing it, and I needed a replacement.

France passes bill to allow police remotely activate phone camera, microphone, spy on people

It is intriguing to contemplate how residing within impoverished circumstances in Africa entails certain unique advantages. The lack of external scrutiny can be perceived as a favorable condition, as it safeguards individual pursuits from the prying eyes of those who might allocate judgment. As an infinitesimal fraction within the vast expanse of the cosmos, this state of relative obscurity creates an environment conducive to contentment and happiness.

Meatball is frying in a dumpster fire.

I agree. HW may be a template for Pete and Ron to follow but, they possess considerably less wealth and networking power to propel them to a position atop any hierarchy within their lifetimes. As you said, we are talking about WASP nobility who have been here centuries vs the descendants of Southern European immigrants who have only been here a century or so. One family has had more time to establish and embed themselves atop the class structure than the other.

I still haven't figured out how to do this

I would not use latex for any document that should be a template for other people to fill in. Unless you’re a peer reviewed journal. I wouldn’t use latex for anything that requires precise positioning of images and elements. InDesign and similar are a much better option. I do like to use markdown for any document that does not fall into those categories. I like to use latex for any document I’m writing which I want someone else to style. Latex is very cool for styling, but in my experience most of the time you do not really need that amount of configurability and the added time to correctly make a styled document in latex is way more than what it would take you in word, even when you have to fight word to make it. That is unless you need equations, but then again: just write markdown with latex equations.
