Oh yeah, it is definitely heavily biased already. Just google anything controversial and you’ll see it to some degree.

“Is ICE doing illegal operations” -> “Allegations…” Anything about the strait of hormuz -> straight up no summary whatsoever lmao

It’s not implying any causality, it’s just denouncing hypocrisy.

There is no hypocrisy in dreaming to move to some other country as long as you’re not trying to stop others from achieving that same dream.

That should never be a reason not to share open source knowledge!

My reason for using arch linux is to have as little bloat as possible. So, pacman. Yay sometimes for AUR stuff, but my need for it is rare.

A ceasefire with guarantee not to repeat aggressions is either a lie or a defeat

Does this systemd change facilitate future verification softwares? Definitely. Will it become a part of systemd? Extremely unlikely. Should systemd rebel and refuse to include anything facilitating these disturbing laws? Eh, probably.

But let’s not blow this change out of proportions. This is a way for systemd to not aggressively fight the laws, without enabling them either. This field changes nothing, and you will still be able to use distros that don’t even employ the field at all. They might become illegal to use in the land of the free, but that’s a separate issue that this change does not impact.

Do you really draw the line at a date of birth field, when every linux system has fields for full name and address for every user account?

But my clickbait!

He doesn’t have to liquidate shit, none of them do. They borrow against their holdings.

A gamer does not need to switch from the mouse to the keyboard repeatedly. Plus, a gamer cares about precision, which obviously a trackpad lacks.

“Faster” standalone means nothing. Can you move the pointer faster with a mouse? Of course. But I don’t see most people flicking on their workstation.

In the context of this thread, “faster” refers to completing your tasks faster. And for that a trackpad beats a mouse if your job requires you to type a lot.

I prefer a trackpad while I work, and the reason is simple: Much less movement to switch from trackpad to keyboard than from mouse to keyboard. And much easier to land on the key you want without looking.

And I very much doubt you’d be faster than me with a mouse!

I can’t work on a big screen. I’m thriving on my laptop with my 3x3 virtual desktop grid, though.

In general yes. Here the common denominator is that canadians are british and french colonists who never kicked their invaders.

They are the invaders. Just like the US. The difference is they didn’t decide to go independent.

Well, we’re not falling for communism, so my focus is on fascism at the moment.

Although arguably the communism you’re thinking about was/is fascism in disguise, not communism. Communism hasn’t really been tried yet - or tried and turned fascist. It’s pretty much a utopic idea at this point.

When I say “countries remember”, I mean the people who take decisions in the name of the country remember. I should have been clearer.

The general population always forgets, yes. That’s why the world is once again falling for fascism.

I assure you the countries involved have not forgotten anything. Same will happen here.

I’m not talking about change, I’m talking about progress. Progress is not necessarily positive.

No. Each generation was fucked in their own way, regardless of the two edges of the progress that they grew up with.

I’m not saying everything is lovely and we are at the peak of civilization. I’m saying that every form of progress comes with challenges and downsides, and this saying of “Next generation will be fucked” is a cognitive bias every generation has had for a pretty long time.

They also have positive sides.

I don’t know if I expressed myself that poorly (I was pretty tired after all), but I did not mean at all that there are no downsides to any of these. I meant that despite these sayings, every generation so far has ended up as fine as the previous ones.
