@freemo Yeah you are right I misunderstand those numbers.

@k11m1 Yeah I was joking 😄 Nice always wanted to try some tiling WM.

@freemo These stats prove my point. USA has 300 million citizens. Compare that to Switzerland with only 8 million.

@freemo I would not say that neo-liberalism is oposite of classical liberalism. Could you define what you mean by neo-liberalism for me?

Yeah I wouldn't too, but what kind of redistribution policies does USA have? I would personally prefer much more radical redistribution of wealth, but there is really no push for it in the Czech republic, because there isn't a lot of people on the line of poverty. There were some interesting systems of redistribution tested like UBA in Europe so lets see how that goes. 😄

@freemo Wikipedia defines liberal as someone who is for free economy without goverment interventions + individual rights/equality.
From what you said earlier I deduced that you are using liberalism as synonym for social democracy and used your definition in my last answer.

It is not about tax collection, but distribution. Taxes that are collected in europe are distributed via strong welfare systems for health care, education, and social funding. USA does not really have this kind of safety nets.

@k11m1 You could go full terminal mode without desktop enviroment 😄 Or use Emacs as an operating system.

@k11m1 Ah.. 😅 There are plenty of Linux distributions that are focused on performance / older hardware. Lubuntu/Xubuntu could be fine.

@k11m1 Operating system 😄

@freemo Which policies you have in mind? I think that both economic and political policies of Europe are much more liberal than in USA (there are some exceptions and mostly in eastern europe, [hello Poland!]).

Why is taxation scheme example of liberality? I would say its not about how much one taxes rich vs poor, but about how that taxed money is then distributed.

@decompiled Yeah its not bad. Some stuff is little bit cumbersome to write/implement, but ecosystem around language is mostly perfect.

@design_RG Thanks I already read both guides when you posted them to other newcomer. Really helpful for getting started.

@k11m1 If you mostly browse web, then its okay to have older notebook and a battery for your model is less than 1000 CZK. You could potentially switch OS to help the responsiveness.

@k11m1 How responsive is it? What are you doing with it? It depends on your needs.

Jé ahoj, čekal jsem že to bude chvíli trvat než narazím na Čechy. 😁

@freemo Thank you. I am not really active on social networks, but I find mastodon/fediverse interesting. Maybe just used the wrong ones.
