That’s so cool! Now I’m ashamed of my boring wooden rectangle bases. 😅

But regarding the chinese government, I’m not sure we can call it communist anymore. Authoritarian, imperialist, oppressive and bellicose are more accurate qualifiers; mainly thanks to president Xi.

Most laptops will be more or less fully compatible with linux I think. Though a few niche features like finger print or key card readers might be a hassle to get working. To me, the most important thing is the keyboard since some manufacturers forgo the end of/start of line buttons, for instance.

Careful there, public radio in France fired a comedian for calling Netanyahu a nazi. If they don’t like you, they’ll say you’re an antisemite just to get rid of you…

Do we have to censor the word communism now?

Was in the same position a few months ago. My only satisfaction was that I’d be able to open a union division in the company. I would have been able to better the working conditions of my colleagues (and mine!) while learning the work of a union representative. Sadly they fired me before I could do that. But now I found a paying job in a non-profit organization and I feel like a human being again!

Really? That’s a bit too… intense. I propose “postpone-baby-pill” or “baby-no-thanks-pill”.

It’s called plan B in the US? We call it “the morning-after pill” where I live. I think it’s a bit more self-explanatory.

Well, citizens living under democraties should really start to realize that human rights need to be protected continously. Once we let our guard down and take them for granted, that’s when authoritarians are able to dismantle them one by one.

But I bet it’s loads of fun! Gotta resist… the urge…

We also have a president that thinks of himself as a king in France. Although he doesn’t have the gall to claim it publically.

I’m not completely up to speed with the core principles of Arch, but I think it revolves around KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!). Meaning that Arch doesn’t hold your hand with nice GUIs. Instead, it tries to make the command line interface as easy to understand and use as possible. So if you run into a problem, you’re more likely to understand how to fix it, or at least what the root cause is. Which is not a given when you’re used to distros with more abstraction like Ubuntu. Then again, this design concept is not for everyone.

The install guide is not 50 pages-long, common!

Just plug out the power cord, fuck it!

The thing is like 90% in international waters, who cares if a government renames it the gulf of the the clown car for instance? I hope there’s an international body of geograph somewhere that brings reason to these matters.

They’ve always done that for other contested regions of the world (e.g. sea of Japan/Korea, West Bank/Judea and Samaria, East Turkestan/Xinjiang). They don’t want to rile up potential personal gps data cash cows satisfied users.

We the people!

No need to shame people for their spelling. You never know, the person in question might not be a native english speaker or could have dislexia.

Isn’t that the definition of taxation and redistribution of wealth?

It’s probably a coincidence but Jean-Marie Le Pen died today you know!
