Same here! This will be the way for me.

Totally get it! It's somewhat jarring moving from the Windows world of software to the world that are available in apt (or other), or otherwise running essential software through wine/proton.

Perhaps Lemmy should offer an option to delete the OP and retain comments?

I would also like to see some of the comments even after the original post is deleted if the post author is ok with leaving them up.

Agreed! There is more to a good life than politics.

Keeping an ear out, talking to people when relevant, and remembering it when it comes time to vote is enough.

I suppose the USA is having a particularly rough time of it lately, it's understandable that many American users might have their situation front of mind.

Hey there, I too lived in one of the poorest and most densely populated regions in the world for half of my life.

Politics is unfortunately not a topic like any other. Unlike other subjects, this one materially affects all people in the relevant country, and often other countries too.

Governments work all the time to keep systems running, whether people think about them or not. But it is only by being aware of what is going on that people can make better choices when the time comes to choose new leaders.

Without political awareness, a person gives up their right to a say in how their country should be.

It's difficult to see how it would be jarring, the guy is the very vocal President of the United States, materially affects quite a few people.

Hey there, am an Australian from a Muslim family. I too have the same, yet opposite, relationship dynamic as you - though our families are both aware now.

Formally, it is considered forbidden for Muslim women to marry outside the faith; her family won't take it lightly. Perhaps in ways you haven't considered.

Talk to your girlfriend. Ask her what she is worried about, and she will tell you. That is the best thing you can do.

My immediate thought is that the purpose of an encyclopaedia is to have a more-or-less comprehensive overview of some topic of interest. The reader should be able to look through the page index to find the section they care about and read that section.

Its purpose is not to rapidly teach anyone anything in full.

It seems like a poor fit as an application for LLMs
