  • So you are indeed denying Israel the right to defend themselves or even exist... yet you are trying to argue as if your were actually reasonable and weren't advocating for just another genocide.

  • And again you changed the topic and now it's about body count and not who actually attacked the other and who is defending themselves.

    If you need to redefine a problem every single time you try to make a point either your answer is simplified bullshit or you start with your conclusion and then adapt everything else to support it.

  • Why are you changing the topic? Yes, Israel using the situation to expand into palestinian territory is also despicable. But that doesn't magically make military, militia or terrorist attacks against Israel an act of defense.

    If you want to condemn Israel's actions then the bare minimal requirement is not being even worse. At which countries openly supporting terrorists and calling for the destruction of a neighbouring country fail by definition.

  • Does Lebanon and Iran and Palestinians have a right to defend themselves?

    "Defend" themselves against Israel daring to exist?

  • The majority of "Linux issues" is created intentionally. It's often not enough to not support Linux officially (even if there would be no additional work involved anyway) and let players figure out problems on their own. A lot of studios, publishers and developers actually go out of their way and actively invest time to block Linux.

    So nothing will obviously change. Windows could run on a fully compatible Linux kernel tomorrow and games would still check for Linux to artificially create issues.

  • Actual wolf packs are a family. One pair of adults plus their children. Until those are old enough, then they leave and search for a partner and own territory.

    All the stuff you read about pack alphas, all the sociological pseudo-science about alpha behavior derived from it... that's all based on a one bullshit study about a large group of wolves artificially intoduced to a new area, that in no way behaved like wolves naturally do.

    Basically the equivalent of putting a few dozen teen-age boys on an isolated island then studying their behavior to understand human society.

  • Linux is Linux.

    We should send all those people, pages and guides suggesting distros to hell.

    And then instead we suggest update-schemes (fixed, rolling, slow-roll), package managers and Desktop environments. People with enough brain cells to start a computer are then absolutely able to chose a distro fitting them based on that. Everything else coming with a distro is just themeing/branding anyway...

    (and just for the use statistic: Archlinux, Opensuse (Leap and Kalpa), Debian here...)

  • I’ve been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

    No, there is not some weird reason but actual very good ones.

    Things can break on a bleeding edge update scheme. That's to be expected from time to time. But the questions are "why did it break" and "what is done to fix it".

    If something breaks on Archlinux it's because of some new package with a issue that escaped testing. Then the fix come out as fast as possible (often within minutes even, but let's assume hours as those things need to move through mirrors first...).

    If something breaks on Manjaro it's either because of the exact same reason as above, but 2 weeks later. Because Manjaro keeps back updates for two weeks "for stability reasons", yet doesn't do anything in those 2 weeks. So they just add the same problem later, completely defeating the argumant about stability. Oh, and fixes are of course kept back for 2 weeks, too, because... reasons.

    Or it breaks because they fucked up their internal QA. For example by letting their certificates expire again and again and again and again... of by screwing up their very own pacman-wrapper and then ddos'ing the AUR for all users, not only Manjaro ones.

    Or -speaking about the AUR- it breaks because they give their users full access to the Arch User Repository (without any warnings about user content being less reliable and used at your own risk) pre-installed. Also they do it on a system generally out-of-date because it lags 2 weeks behind. Which is not what AUR packages are build for (they assume up-to-date systems) and is a straight path to dependency hell and breakings... not because something went wrong but because the whole concept of an out-of-date system not running their own also 2-weeks behind version onf the AUR is idiotic. On the "plus" side they have an easy fix: blame the user, because he should obviously know that an pre-installed part of Manjaro is conceptionally flawed and shouldn't be trusted.

  • Right decision but for the wrong reason.

  • Let me google that for you: Quark

  • So this is what happens when a Fiat Multipla develops into its final form in all its glorious ugliness...

  • Depends on the intended effect... I personally see this as just one single piece in a big wave of equally dilettante articles used to convey one message to the caual reader: that 3d printing is bad, dangerous and needs to be regulated.

    And we all know who's willing to pay money to push that story...

  • with Apple dominating Europe...

    Your own map diagrees, with 100% of the picked examples from Europe having Samsung as market leader.

  • Stick to a specific distro and train your staff

    Linux is Linux. Train your staff to properly use one and they can use them all. "Distro" is just a fancy word for "which package manager and update cycle to we chose and what logo do we put on our pre-installed wallpaper".

  • Yes, I actually just use Wine with a default prefix and pray it works. If it doesn't (rarely) then the game gets his own prefix to tweak the settings.

  • you didn’t say what file system your /boot partition was using, so I don’t want to guess

    It's actually easy to guess. There is exactly one filesystem UEFI has to support by its specification, everything else is optional... so unless you produce for Apple -because they demand apfs support for their hardware- no vendor actually cares to implement anything but FAT.

  • When you say system drive this will also have your efi system partition (usually FAT-formated as that's the only standard all UEFI implementations support), maybe also a swap partition (if not using a swap file instead) etc... so it's not just copiying the btrfs partition your system sits on.

    Yes clonezilla will keep the same UUID when cloning (and I assume your fstab properly uses UUIDs to identify drivees). In fact clonezilla uses different tools depending on filesystem and data... on the lowest level (so for example on unlocked encrypted data it can't handle otherwise) clonezilla is really just using dd to clone everything. So cloning your disk with clonezilla, then later expanding the btrfs partition to use up the free space works is an option

    But on the other hand just creating a few new partitions, then copying all data might be faster. And editing /etc/fstab with the new UUIDs while keeping everything else is no rocket science either.

    The best thing: Just pick a method and do it. It's not like you can screw up it up as long if your are not stupid and accidently clone your empty new drive to your old one instead...

  • misinformation != desinformation

    Both exist plenty...

  • And just lke with the war on drugs, countries will realize it's a lost cause. And will then instead try to coopt the system to spread their own desinformation. If you can't win, exploit it for your own gains...

    Welcome to our wonderful post-factual age.

  • Germans are still suffering from having to integrate another failed quasi-soviet state more than 30 years later, so you couldn't pay them enough for taking Königsberg back.
