One could argue that you're extending the noise of all three "are" sounds, so I think any of the 3 are valid choices. The 'e' definitely feels least correct, but still valid to me
Imagine replying to the same person 3 times to say the same thing, and all 3 of them were idiotic because you misread their first comment.
I said "claims to be" not "are" and then further clarified that I was saying that the most recent time I had looked into it I found multiple sources saying they stilled claimed to be communist. I knew they weren't actually communist, I always did. Because of course I knew about the fall of the Soviet Union. I just didn't bother to pay attention to the actual internal structure of Russia because it didn't apply to my life in any way
I don't believe that you can speak about propaganda without context, and I didn't claim that either. The "efficient phrases" thing is part of a puzzle, not the whole puzzle. What I do believe is that terms like "tankie" fill the same role "Jew" or "Gay" fill for the right. It's a term used to change the perception of the speaker from "person/human being" to "undesirable with a bad opinion"
If you're gonna self-host you're gonna need to learn to use a search engine. Find a tool that can be used to check what ports are open for a machine, there a several available.
I would try searching things like "Linux cli port scanner"
Since there is no realistic way to accurately and objectively determine what is or is not propaganda
Can you realistically accurately and objectively determine that the source of the claim was a tankie?
So it makes more sense to make wild claims about the person behind the message than it does to classify a piece of information based off of its linguistic characteristics?
Choose the most efficient phrase from these options:
"This is propaganda which supports authoritarian communism"
"This is tankie propaganda"
"This is propaganda"
Notice how the message still gets across with that third one? It still tells you "these are lies or exaggerations that have misled you" without needlessly classing the source with a catch-all term that obfuscates their position as human beings with the right to live?
Reading through this made me realize that "procedurally generated" was the "AI" of my childhood. I remember seeing that phrase everywhere in game announcements and even education software. I'm surprised to see it again, because one could argue that a "procedurally generated" level is AI generated.
But I suppose Steam just proved that a lot of PC gamers aren't buying into the AI bubble, so perhaps they're avoiding that phrasing on purpose?
While I'm not a fan of either, I think "typing" indicators are a natural response to read receipts unfortunately. Sending a read receipt applies time pressure, because now the other person knows you've seen it. So, the "typing" indicator lets them know that you're working on a response and not ignoring them.
If we just didn't send read receipts we wouldn't need "typing" indicators at all. It's a case of unnecessary complexity causing unnecessary complexity
"Tankie" is a generalist term, the same as "leftist" and whatnot. The goal of terms like these is to put people into camps that are divided and label them as anything other than "human" because it's a lot easier to say "100 dead tankies" than it is to say "100 dead humans"
My point is that terms like this detract from communication because they obfuscate the meaning behind what is being said. Using these terms, even if it is to fight against propaganda, makes it easier to continue using other terms that are similar in nature. This encourages people to use less people-centric language, which dehumanizes those around them and makes them easier targets. Best to just avoid using them at all IMO
I remember googling "which countries are still communist" back around 2018ish and Russia being at the top of many lists. It's just another ripple effect from propaganda that hasn't died out yet.
That being said, fighting propaganda is much easier with gentler words instead of name-calling in my experience
Oh man I made the mistake of saying the word Russia and now I must be evil. You're right, they're not technically communist and after double checking yeah they don't claim it anymore either. Last time I really cared about Russia's internals was quite a while ago, and despite few changes to their economic system they definitely used to at least claim to be communist. Or that was my understanding at the time.
The point still stands, a handful of countries claim to be communist. A handful of countries are communist. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you to decide
Yeah, this pretty much sums it up. Didn't really do anything wrong, but it sounds like you rubbed your buddy the wrong way. Smooth things over with him and move along with life
I think there's like 12 countries that still claim to be communist. Cuba, China and Russia off the top of my head and there's a handful of island nations that are doing quite well with it
I just don't understand your logic. In your mind it's okay to make an assumption about the content of a link based off the name of the link. However, it's not okay to make an assumption about the content of the other link and find out why the OP started the discussion. Rather, you believe it would be better to attack the OP for not explaining what their links were to your satisfaction.
Stories of a dangerous telepath have made it around the kingdom. Some intelligent groups have realized that the telepath actually uses an invisible creature, and have created smoke traps and rope sensors to combat invisible forces, while other adversaries have chosen to enlist the help of more magic-oriented fighters to identify and nullify the threat. Mob-type enemies which tend to be less individually clever but effective in large groups have chosen to train close-combat more often, to diminish the benefits of the "telepath's" long range. While this is partially effective, they often run into issues where the invisible hand can attack from behind.
This leaves room for them to be creative to get around the traps, or deal with the mages/bum-rush with a quick trick but can also be a hurdle if they don't solve the individual puzzles in each encounter. You'll still have to do a bit of thinking on how to restructure the encounters a little bit
You're learning a new workflow, it's gonna take a second. Don't get discouraged, you're just fighting habits from your old work flow, it'll be buttery smooth once you've built new habits.
That out of the way, you need to learn your hotkeys. Super+enter is gonna get you into a terminal by default, from there you want to get into your configs (check out /etc if it's not in .config yet) to find your Sway config. That little dude is your best friend now, it's your Options window from a desktop environment.
I haven't double checked your account, but I assume you're the tiling/floating poster from the other day? In which case I would suggest doing some research into class and appid filters within the config, this is how you're going to define windows to automatically float AFAIK
