  • Is your hardware ten years old or more?

    Do you want a system made up of software that is on average 3 years old?

    Do you want absolutely ridiculous stability for the uptime memes?

    Are you a fan of the idea that every design decision should be done by a committee of theoretically democratically chosen developers but is actually just whoever wants the job because there is never any real transparency or motion about when the meetings are, much less when elections are?

    Does the idea of your operating system being compatible not because its good but because it’s just the largest base thanks to corporate investment make you moist?

    Then pick Debian.

    If you answered no to literally any of those options then go ahead and pick an Arch flavor, or Arch itself.


  • Introducing the Shahed Drone system, featuring a mass produced 1.3L gasoline engine usually used on mopeds and coming in at an average cost of $30k USD to produce including munitions package, it’s the solution for all imperialists and traitors in your life.

    Got a $1 billion USD pipeline coming in at statistically $3 million USD per mile to construct that needs to have a rapid unplanned deconstruction happen? Think Shahed Drone.

    At that price to cost ratio you can send 100 Shahed drones per mile and still come out massively on top in terms of resource performance!

    The Shahed drone, for when your enemies say ‘well it would be too expensive to target this.’


  • Because distros don’t do it differently. Different DEs sometimes deviate from the established standards and practices. It’s not a distro change, it’s whatever weird little DE you use that decided to do something stupid.

    That being said .desktop is a unified standard with unified documentation implemented in a fairly unified way across various DEs, with the only difference is some DEs support finding desktop files in some extra folder locations.

    Every distro could maintain a complete list of popular DEs and a link to the documentation, or people could just look it up for the DEs they use and target. I agree there should, at this point in time, be some standard service to just call and handle desktop files that all DEs use that way application level developers can just call that same service and everything gets put everywhere it needs to be, but given the controversy of systemd, there’s not going to be a universal solution for that since this is absolutely not a kernel-level service that needs to happen.



  • The age of consent in China is 18, actually. The confusion comes from the fact specific propagandists want you to think ‘more serious consequences for victims under 14 means victims have to be under 14 to have any consequences.’ If you’re over 18 then under 18 year olds are off limits

    I promise the weird site you got that off of isn’t accurate.

    Also the child rapists were the religious theocracy the people rose up against and overthrew. They had institutional child sex slavery. This wasn’t the main cause of the civil war, but it was a serious part of it. The Dalai Lama is a pedophile. He wants to re-institute child sex slavery. That is the ‘state’ he wants returned.


  • The Tibetan civil war is an extensively documented historical event. Until the 1980s it wasn’t even controversial that China aided the popular uprising against the Child Rapist theocracy in charge. Even then the current propaganda line is ‘it wasn’t even a real civil war, it was instigated by communists living in the country knowing they’d get Russian and Chinese support.’

    The propaganda has never been 'there was no civil war china, despite being incredibly vulnerable and weak having just won its own civil war and recovering from the early days cut off by the Western world for choosing communism, just decided to invade a country randomly for imperialism despite not having a national identity yet that would imply imperialism.

    Your misunderstanding, or total ignorance of history does not mean there’s a magical conspiracy from those evil communist slurs.
