Not really. The people get only two choices of candidates who are selected by campaign popularity. Those candidates have to raise the money for it by themselves, which means making truthful private campaign promises to their donors while making false promises to the public.
The core complaint is for femwashed stories, where the male lead has been replaced by a woman.
It's very similar to Hollywood movies taking movies from Japan or China and then turning the Asian lead to a Euro-American.
The level of hatred for this type of content is very strong as it feels like a farce or fraudelent, like someone is trying to sell you a fake designer brand item.
Everything that made the item great is absent in the fake one.
On top of that, there's a clear fascist takeover in the US from the rainbow liberal, evangelical and social capitalists. Fascists have weird superiority and inferiority complexes including towards women.
But don't worry, Chinese movies will become popular soon, so both sides of the US political aisle will have to adjust.
It matters as some distros have one maintainer or will offer you something ideological at great sacrifice, but you seem to already know that.
No, the biggest difference is package manager, community forum in case you meed troubleshooting, default DE (eases troubleshooting), and release type.
There are three big families of distros: Debian / Fedora / Arch.
Any distro that is a derative of either of these three use their package manager.
Drop tuxedo and take a look at endeavourOS. It's arch-based and arch has the best package manager of all. Also KDE is their main DE.
I use Manjaro because I prefer Xfce.
In case you do use EndeavourOS, one warning, DO NOT USE THE ARCH FORUM FOR TROUBLESHOOTING!!
(If you've heard of 'Sheldon Cooper' from the tv-series 'Big Bang theory' or 'Young Sheldon'. This forum is run by a real life version of him and you will get banned there immediately or very quickly, unlike other forums. Rule #1 of many is that any user troubleshooting admits that the issue is occuring on any OS other than Arch, including the closest deratives, will get banned.)
No. Don't know what HDR is.
Tinkering with the DE is definitely fun and you should play with it. Be careful though, because the freedom you're allowed also allows you to break things.
But tinkering with the DE isn't the worst thing you could break.
"We've got nothing to hide and this will send a clear signal of unity with our allies towards authoritarian states like China, Russia and Saudi Arabia"
Well deserved.
And surely this news will send a strong signal towards Russia that we are more united with our allies than anyone else and that we've got nothing to hide from them. /s
I'm from the Netherlands
(and the second sentence has been the actual thought process for years from anyone but me here 😢).
A war of liberation is not a war of aggression. He didn't start the war. He's ending it. It's a two-partial-nations-in-one-country civil war that he's now splitting off from the part that demanded secession with Ukraine and acession with Russia, since they're Russian Ukrainians and don't want to join an anti-Russia alliance.
This was a private military contracter who just failed a coup attempt for a military junta made from his own private army, and a product of the libertarian period of Russia that's being reigned in. He should have been arrested legally for doing so, but in this case that probably was considered too risky in terms of consequences. In any case, it's a much better idea than putting such a figure next to the president's chair as a kind of mayor of the palace.
Trump, sure, but why would Putin be dead?
Because you don't like him?
Because he replaced Boris Jeltsin who was similar to Javier Milei and pulled the country out of economic misery?
Because he wants to join an international payment system that's fair instead serving US debt?
Because you hear about CIA paid figures like Navalny from USAID paid news articles, the type Trump is accused of being, but unlike Trump, aren't billionaires, who would never be elected if not for foreign donors who expect something back from it?
I'm going way way out against the standard model here.
No spacetime, no dark matter or dark energy, not even photons.
Just a '3D big ball of yarn single object universe'.
If light is a 'turn of the "stick"', then gravity is how 'the "sticks" are binding the atoms together'.
And so there would not be any gravity waves.
And any measurement of them would then have nothing to do with gravity.
And gravity is instantateous, and if not, really really fast or planets and stars would slingshot themselves out of orbit.
If you're openminded enough to listen to those who disagree with the standard model,
take an elastic band and turn one end. Instead of the band turning, you'll have a twist in your band
and it takes time to unravel the twist if you let go on the other end.
That's what will happen to the stick and this travels at lightspeed,
because this is how light works. Light works like 'the stick' in your example.
And if you try turning it faster the 'elastic band'/stick/'atom on the other end' starts breaking.
If you need FTL communication, then use gravity..somehow.
That the EU was morally better than the US. The posts got longer and longer. I gave up after realizing my latest post would be over 4000 words long.
