  • Arch has a very in-depth wiki that's the go-to resource for a lot of Linux users, and it offers a community-driven way to have access to literally anything that's ever landed on Linux ever through the AUR. It's also nice to have an OS that you never have to reinstall (assuming all things go well).

    Why that turned into such a cult-meme is anyone's guess though.

  • Professional scientists and researchers are famous for spontaneously popping out of the aether like quantum foam, completely disconnected from any causality or prior state of being.

  • I think the general consensus among anthropologists is that the workers building the great pyramids weren't slaves, just day laborers working for rations of ale and food.

  • While there is something understandable about partially wishing for it, I don't think anyone is going to lead a genocidal strategic bombing campaign against the United States to level every manmade structure taller than knee height before promptly having 95% of the planet embargo them for 75 years, so I doubt the US can emulate the DPRK's economic situation too well.

  • What's left to even sanction Russia with at this point? You can't threaten someone with something you already did 4 years ago.

  • The last time the US fought China it amounted to that as well. And that was back when the PRC was a bombed out rural husk with little to no industry.

  • For what you're spending on this, I would highly recommend throwing in a 1440p monitor. The difference from 1080p is night and day. The 7900XT will have zero issues with it, and you can find a solid 27" one for cheap nowadays so long as you're not trying to find an OLED or something with a stupid high refresh rate.

    That's about the only feedback I have here though, the rest of this build looks good!

  • It might be; I've only ever used in on Wayland to make up for Discord using its ancient version of Electron. If the canary branch Discord works for you though I'd stick to that, I was just offering another option for either yourself or people reading the post!

  • Related to the Discord Canary comment, Vesktop is a third-party Discord client that's properly supported Wayland for quite some time now. I've been using it ever since swapping to Linux full-time to make sure streaming works correctly.

  • Germany was always the second strongest imperial power in Europe behind Britain from 1871 onwards, and without the English channel that would be debatable.

    The Nazis' initial success in WW2 is entirely dependent on France falling apart the second they were invaded and the Reich getting to loot the entirety of it and the low countries to keep their economy alive. Had France put up even token resistance Germany would have imploded within a few months and the European half of the war would've been a minor footnote in the history books next to Japan invading all of Asia.

  • One is Long Country, the other is Long March. Same difference, right?

  • The derpy eyes really pull the whole snek together

  • It was 100% because the existing Electron version they were using was ancient, a giant pain in the ass to update, and represents exactly zero revenue for them so they hadn't bothered putting anyone on fixing it. Every tech company has the ticking time bomb in the corner like that.

  • Ionization chamber smoke detectors have a tiny grain of Americium in them, which is radioactive. However, the radiation is almost entirely alpha particles which are relatively low risk as they don't penetrate skin particularly well.

    They are also still sold, though you should buy the other kind (which use light beams instead) because they're significantly better at their jobs.

  • It's really hard to tell why Russia might start swinging when the west not only breaks every treaty it's ever signed with it, but then has the gall to turn around and go "you can get fucked" right afterwards

  • Democrats: Coming out against genocides they started and perpetuated for decades, bravely.

  • Commit to the bit. The bit is eternal.

  • Working class people generally care that their rent and groceries doubled in five years without raises to cover the difference, yes. If you can't provide an answer to those problems as the incumbents, then it's hardly shocking when no one shows up to vote for you.

  • How do you purge 95% of a party and all of its power brokers and backers without just building a new party? It's not like the capitalists came in and hijacked it, they were always one half of the American single-party state.

  • He is a finn, what do you expect from him?

    Continued use of the swastika in his military and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge how many Soviets the Finns starved to death in Leningrad while working with the Third Reich, presumably.
