I never said whether it did or didn’t. I only said your definition is wrong.

Don’t try to take some quasi-victory out of this.

I’m just telling you the facts.

but only providing instructions for… what, fedora and rhel?

Yes, what, did you want me to provide instructions for everything under the sun? Look at what I wrote, I said “or whatever”, I.e. or the equivalent commands on another distro.

And saying that running your package manager from the command line is to “feel like a hacker?”

Lmao you’re just confirming you’re trying to bait people here.

Fun fact there’s a range of distros that don’t have proper UIs for their package manager

Ok? What’s your point? You’d only install a distro that leans heavily on the terminal if you’re the kind of person who wants to rely on the terminal. I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make lmao

What exactly do you think is inside of those packages?

It varies. But regardless, that’s a colossally stupid point. Installing random .exe files you find online also executes scripts.

The point you made was that on Linux the way you install programs is to go online and run random scripts. That is objectively a lie, and now you’re backpedaling away from that point.

And you know, Flatpaks do exist and are the standard now.

So you acknowledge you were wrong then? It’s not strictly about killing or sterilisation, not is it strictly down to ethnic groups.

Thank you for proving me right 👍

Genocide refers to the systemic forced killing or forced sterilisation of an ethnic group.

Genocide doesn’t have to be killings or sterilisation. It can be any action with the intention of destroying a group, in whole or in part.

It also doesn’t only apply to ethnic groups.

We’ve been there for a long time.

Broadly speaking, outside of some specific niche workflows, Linux has been pretty easy for a long time, and Windows has a lot of unintuitive stuff that we only think is easy because we’re used to it.

Linux and Windows certainly both have their failings, but it feels like Linux’s generally stem from the lack of full time developers on projects, whereas failings in Windows often feel like a deliberate user-hostile choice.

Updates in Linux are not random third party scripts you find online, why are you spreading this lie?

You go into your app store/software centre and click update. To the user, this is all they see.

If you want to feel like a hacker, or find it quicker, you can open a terminal run sudo dnf update or whatever. That’s still not a random third party script, though.

People can put their energy wherever they damn well please. You can work on Linux phones if you want to.

This is the question that should’ve been asked before it was built and shipped.

Now that it has been, though, any effort to keep it out of landfill and find a use for the hardware is good.

I guess with Labour doing a decent reduction of mass immigration, Reform needs to be ready to spin up a second populist warfront.

Farage will have no trouble getting funding for his anti-environment nonsense, but the UK public will be harder to convince than they were for reducing immigration.

Why is this a thing for US phone networks?

Why do they care whether the ones and zeroes sent/received stay on the phone or not? Data is data. It shouldn’t be any more complicated than that.

Bloody hell, this is a damn documentary.

Yeah, web browsers cost hundreds of millions per year to maintain, they’re mind-bogglingly complicated and costly.

I’d really hope the Linux Foundation would help contribute towards the budget, but LF is quite pro Chromium.

I don’t think end users can even come close to funding Firefox development, unfortunately.

Also their initiative to recognise images and generate alt-text for screen-reader users.

My sister is blind and screen readers are close to useless on the web, so it was great to hear Mozilla is working on that.

But we are becoming more self reliant, and we are collaborating with non-US countries more.

You know why Klingons were so hairy up till disco? Because wigs were cheaper and look better on camera than full body prosthetics did.

That is complete bullshit. Klingons were never designed to be reptilian. There have been reptilian races shown in Trek long before DIS.

Klingon design settled on how they look throughout the 80s, 90s, and 2000s because that’s what they wanted them to look like. They’re a hairy, mammalian species.

But now they have a lot better prosthetic technology so let’s reinterpret the designs for this new show.

You can reinterpret without throwing away everything and making a clearly entirely different species. Like going from mammals to reptilians. And again don’t try to bullshit us into thinking making a reptilian species was impossible until 2017.

But then we get to your last paragraph and you completely lose me. How you made that jump from what I said is just, bravo

That’s exactly what you said. Your mental gymnastics is insane.

Again, people who can’t understand that stories produced in live action actually have to exist in reality and make choices for practical and not just creative reasons are absolutely insufferable.

Jfc, there’s an insufferable person here and it’s certainly not me. You are the one who doesn’t understand.

Stop with this stupidity and mental gymnastics. It’s not impossible to make Klingons mammalian, because we’ve already done it for decades, and we again do it now.

Why are you lying by saying that the change was done for a “practical” reasons and that mammalian costume design “doesn’t exist in reality”?

You can change costumes and makeup without completely changing unnecessary parts.

Klingons went from being established as clearly mammalian and very hairy to a completely different reptilian-in-appearance species (also with an entirely different culture but let’s ignore that), then back to mammalian.

They also made significant changes to Andorians. The hair, facial structure, skin tones, and antennae changed, but they were still clearly Andorians, so nobody cared. If they made them red with yellow hair and a rhino horn instead of antennae then it would be rightly ridiculed.

The assertion that if you’re against what early DIS did to Klingons then you’re a racist who wants Asian caricatures is absolutely insane. What are you smoking?

Seems like an interesting way to get people to slow down (people will want to time the melody not just hear a sudden clash of notes), but it’s a bit irritating to see an AI-generated article being posted here.

It’s frustrating to read this. Repetitive and verbose, like a student trying to pad out their homework to meet a word count.

Starmer seems to have done an alright job in getting closer to Europe, and European leaders seem more warm to him than our previous few leaders (to put it lightly).

I just wish he’d been a bit bolder and not ruled out things like rejoining the Customs Union during campaigning. I get why it was done, the press would’ve called him undemocratic and other such nonsense, but in case Kier hasn’t noticed, the press doesn’t like him anyway, so don’t pander to them!

I seriously hope Labour drop the “No rejoining the EU or CU” pledge for next election. It’s only doing us harm.

As for the patting Trump on the head and offering state visits thing… Meh. I don’t like seeing it either, but if gestures like that help avoid Trump having a hissy fit and economically destroying the UK, then I’m all for taking the pragmatic approach. If the choice is ever between the US and Europe, though, the choice is obvious 🇪🇺.

It isn’t an OLED screen. It’s an E-ink one. I don’t know where you got this idea that it’s an OLED from.

It absolutely bewilders me.

If I had anything approaching her levels of wealth, I’d be on a beach sipping cocktails, going rock climbing, getting railed by goth girls, or trying all kinds of new hobbies that the normal person wouldn’t have the time or resources to try.

She spends her time doing this, and sitting on twitter trying to get retweets from people with swastikas in their profile pictures.

Time is the one thing that’s finite for her, and she’s choosing to spend it on this bullshit. I can’t wrap my head around it.
