  • Then here is the right model for you...

  • It's not like the sane among us are suddenly going to decide to go along with fascism

    If that's your definition of sane I think you are in for a surprise about how low the number of sane people is. Just like common sense isn't actually that common.

  • I think it’s not natural, rather an illustration of covert media propaganda being very powerful.

    That the point...

    In reality nobody loses faith in democracy. They simply criticise the application/implementation (specifically the EU one that isn't very democratic in the first place and the total lack of consequences for lying politicians).

    But the decline of democracy has another facet... the deteriation of media quality and information being replaced by attention seeking and framed clickbait bullshit. Which is what brings you this rediculous misinterpretation of the cited study.

    Or: reading this article should not tell you that people lose faith in democracy but should make you lose faith in journalistisc standards at the Guardian.

  • Actually young Europeans are losing faith in the actual implementation where constantly lying politicians suffer zero consequences while the media floods everything with bullshit as a diversion.

    This BS article with it's utter misrepresentation of the actual study cited is a perfect example of the latter...

  • You can't have a high military budget, a big military industrial complex, knowledge about your stockpiles (and the rate at which they are depleted) for several years and problems with your stockpiles running dangerously low all at the same time.

    And given that we know the first three points to be a fact...

  • Linux is Linux. What sets distros apart are basically the config and pre-install defaults and the package manager...

    The latter is Portage, developed for Gentoo and used (among others) by ChromeOS.

  • The problem is that the people lacking those technical skills are struggling with Windows, too, but got brain-washed into believing that this is how it's supposed to be. And they are somehow also the ones defending Windows bullshit the loudest because else they would need to acknowledge being wrong.

  • File permissions...

    allowed to execute=1, allowed to write=2, allowed to read=4

    grouped by owner/group/everyone.

    So one of your own files you have full access to while users in your usergroup are only allowed to read it and nobody else has any permissions would have: 740 (read+write+execute / read / none).

  • As much as I despise Windows while also using archlinux/i3-wm as my daily driver...

    Tiling is no rocket science. Basically every stacking window manager including Windows can do it well enough to be usable with just a few properly configured defaults and short-keys.

  • For the majority there is sadly a very simple answer....

    Reason #1 to be at risked of being impacted by that malware? You don't care and won't read a technical article either.

  • Depends: If you want to show that officials are blatantly lying the stuff they say is indeed the relevant information.

  • I might surprise you but people don't vote for the law as written but indeed for plans and promises made by law makers.

  • Okay, then let me rephrase it: When "nearly half" disapprove it can (and probably does) mean that there is still no majority (or plurality) approving, which is what OP falsely concluded.

  • To be fair here and without looking up numbers, such polls tend to often show the same pattern. Something like 45% A, 30% undecided, 25% B.

    So when "nearly half" disapprove it can still mean "a majority" does.

  • No, because the whole Manjaro concept is bullshit.

    Delaying updates by two weeks for a few more checks could help catch some bugs that went unnoticed, but not in the way Manjaro does it. Which means with no rhyme or reason at all. They don't use the two weeks for additional tests. They don't even collect fixes or patches based on the bleeding edge experience of actual Arch to apply to their delayed updates. They just delay updates, fixes and everything by two weeks. So your system is exactly as unstable as Arch just with 2 weeks delay.

    And it gets worse from there: Arch has a disclaimer about the AUR being unsupported and requires you to install AUR helpers manually, so you did it at least once the old-school way and actually see the disclaimer. Manjaro however gives you access to the AUR pre-installed. No, not a cloned version of the AUR that is also 2 weeks behind. Direct access to one as used by Arch that expects your system to be up-to-date, not 2 weeks behind... introducing a completely new kind of dependency hell and instability.

    PS: And that's before questionable stuff on the Manjaro side... like letting their SSL certificates expire multiple times (and suggesting changing your devices clock as a "fix") or DDOS'ing the AUR with a bug in their AUR helper, also multiple times.

  • And adhering to the law would kill my thriving "pay me a dollar and I allow you to club a billionaire to death"-business. So what?

  • No.

    If I tell my lawyer about a child I abused years ago he can do exactly nothing as there is no imminent crime to prevent that would allow him breaking confidality.

    If I tell my priest the same applies.

    If you want to change that, change the laws binding those people. But don't pretend that the church is going out of its way to protect child abuse by in reality doing nothing and applying the same rule indiscriminately exactly like they did for a millenium.

  • or you have so little faith in your church

    I will tell you a secret: Not everything in the world is about tribes or team sports. I personally deem any organized religion as an abomination.

    But when a "remember that the confession's confidentiality is absolute, has been exactly like this for nearly a millenium and you are beholden to god's/church laws first an foremost" (so the same unchanged statement as always) is reframed as the church somehow explicitly going out of its way to protect child abuse specifically people should actually notice that they are being manipulated.
