  • Technically no because this is still 1:1 with the 2019 skirmish events so far.

    The only difference is this time the army is in total control in Pakistan after ousting Imran Khan, so there's actually a chance Pakistan won't or fail to retaliate in a meaningful manner.

    Either way, I hope to see J-10s v Rafales or JF-17s v Tejas or F-16 v everything lol.

  • Not a rumor, only 2 house members voted against (both republican).

    mfw we can pass a bipartisan spy law no problem but a bipartisan daylight savings law is still too hard.

  • Debating whether the government sysadmin tasked to hand out accounts put them in a "moron CEO jail" environment where they can't actually do anything, or "lol screw it" and gave them all the access because he isn't paid enough for this.

  • I mean its possible they might actually be using them only for surveillance without anything on the hardpoints due to the larger range, but I like how the wikipedia file photo is a reaper carrying two hellfire AGMs and a fat paveway LGB for good measure.

    "Surveillance" lol

  • I said the same thing about Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi negotiating a ceasefire and $50 billion dollar Gaza reconstruction plan as if any of those country governments would spend even a cent on the Palestinians.

    Edit: which they did without representation from Gaza

  • Saying this like reddit hasn't been bot infested for a decade.

    I mean there were some genuine looking bots well before LLMs and AI, and even then you could just be lazy and make a copy post bot that would repost old content for karma farming while the terminally online userbaae would upvote your slop for you.

  • Lol my friends joke Lockheed Martin uses Windows for the F-35 software

  • Honestly, it depends on the netcode implementation.

    TF2 hitscan and projectiles work remarkably well even at 100+ ping.

    TF2 melee hit detection functions like a dice roll above 40 lol.

  • In theory yes since they're essentially sponsored by RedHat. (RedHat is owned by IBM)

    Which is funny because the Snowden leaks actually showed the NSA likes using Fedora for their fancy spy tech lol.

    I guess a good alternative would be OpenSUSE.

  • Edit: realized you meant in the sense of hot swapping flavors after I typed out a whole explanation lol. Should start recommending niche distros and collect package managers like trading cards lol.

    --

    yum = dnf, dnf is just the newer version which was rewritten several times.

    apt is a weird attempt to "upgrade" apt-get with better user interface without messing with the compatibility of apt-get used by scripts and whatnot.

    Both of these are dependency handling package managers which do all the magic of installing required subpackges when you want something.

    rpm is the underlying system package manager which deals with the actual task of installing, removing, and generating packages in the .rpm format. It is analogous to Debian's dpkg which uses the .deb format. It's usually not used by the end user unless you need to play with a package directly like with a .rpm or .deb file.

    Hence why some distros (or people) have their own dependency package manager, like zypper on OpenSUSE (rpm) or Aptitude on Debian (deb).

    Although I think Aptitude might just be a fancy wrapper for apt lol.

  • Saying this like IWT wasn't already a barely functioning agreement that was actually enforced lol.

  • Pakistan has a great airforce but their COAS would sign a surrender so fast it's not even funny.

    It is hilarious seeing the difference in Pakistani public reaction online compared to 2019 when they shot down and captured an IAF pilot. Went from national patriotism to no one caring anymore and making memes about the possible outcomes.

    IWT has also been pretty rocky in implementation and has a history of being abused. India can't permanently cut off the water because it would cause flooding on their side, and notably the Indus River also runs through China first which could make it tricky.

    I'm all for another PAF v IAF skirmish, but Pakistan really needs its democratically elected civilian government back.

  • Big grants and research money connections are typically only accessible because your paper got published in a "reputable" journal, which of course you only have a chance of getting if you publish with a "reputable" system.

  • 5th dumb comment I've seen from lemm.ee today

    Is this a dedicated instance for fresh reddit migrnts or something?

  • Shared this before, but someone I know did a chmod on /bin which nuked all the SUID/GUID bits which borked the system lol.

    Surpsingly easy enough to undo by getting a list of the correct perms from a working system, but hilarious nonetheless

  • Lemmy is worse than reddit in almost every measureable way. The reason I haven't gone back to reddit is purely out of principle and it's not a principle if it's not costing you anything.

    Damn your opinions suck lmao. Were you the reason Blahaj defederated from feddit.uk?

    Cuz it would be funny if one user could annoy a community so much that they decide to defedreate the entire instance.

    Also the above comment being right next to:

    Longest continuous edging streak. Hell, I might already hold that record anyway.

    Perfect example of a reddit user lol.

  • Ubuntu, and the experience was crap lol.

    Then I got to try Debian on a server and it was much nicer.

    Then I saw Torvalds uses Fedora, and given that he also disliked Debian and Ubuntu for their lack of end user ease, I switched and have been happy ever since.

    Seriously though, GNOME 40 really should not be the default DE. It made me think Linux UI was years behind Windows when it was actually the opposite with proven DEs like XFCE, KDE, and GNOME 3/2 etc.

  • Criticism of one of the worst democratic party campaigns is clearly the mark of a tankie.

    There's just no way telling your constituency and voter base to "fuck off" would have any kind of negative consequence on the election.

    It's just simply impossible. We clearly lost because the tankies from .ml ran a nationwide psyop that lead to losing every single swing state.
