I know it would be ridiculously ironic, but if any CSAM is in there could the authorities get you in trouble over its possession or even distribution?

Try to think why these supposed “threats” are such a big deal for an alliance of countries so far away from the region to be affected, and you might stumble upon the real reason why they hate China so much.

Spoiler alert, it’s because they can no longer take advantage of China like they did when it was under the boot of the British. They hate that it’s a sovereign country that works for its own benefit, and that their footholds in the region are unable to reverse the course of history as they’d like.

Hating on the humanities has been a talking point of the right wing for a long time, specifically because the empathy it nurtures leads to solidarity instead of survival of the fittest mentality. They say that these studies are useless to society, while capitalists are the only class that truly sits on top of society and leeches off of it

Still, adding feds to a group chat is a management issue, same as inviting people to your home

Maybe there’d be some hope for that to happen if everyone in the EU hadn’t been conditioned to be racist as fuck against anyone to the east or south for centuries

Don’t know if it’s your taste, but my most recent favorite is The Dispossessed which is a political sci-fi kind of book about a brilliant mathematician who lives in an anarchist world

Really unfortunate wording in the title lol

Nobara does seem pretty cool

I’d say Bazzite but I would warn him (and since he’s a developer already it might not be a big deal) if he’s looking to do any sort of dev work or whatever with Bazzite then prepare to utilize stuff like distrobox, flatpaks, etc to accomplish stuff like that

That’s what I figured, I would be very annoyed to have to use images for software I would simply do an apt install for in other distros, so I’ll leave out Bazzite from my options definitely

This is usually a good idea, but I think Arch would be a bit too much for him

Still, any Debian derivative would be just as easy for me to help and also for him to find help online, so that’s the main reason I’d choose Mint over Bazzite

Considering moving to France so I never have to use the rotting garbage that is Microsoft Teams every single day

ujust is not a package manager, the way I understand it from this thread is that it’s just a convenience script that internally will use one of the other methods shown in the doc you mentioned (brew or flatpak for example). So it still seems risky to me not to have access to common linux package managers besides brew

Even then it’s still checkmate: Qxd5 cxd5 Bxb5#

I suppose the engine evaluates all the moves as a defeat at that point so it doesn’t matter which of the 2 pawns move

Not talking about its usage as a speculative gambling asset, I’m talking about the blockchain as a part of computer science

Much of historical research was seemingly useless for a very long time until some progress in unrelated fields enabled them to suddenly become very useful. I prefer to be open minded about technology, not tying it to the way its used by the current time and political system we are living in

I think the technology itself has great potential, though capitalism using it for the worst reasons imaginable and making it as inefficient as physically possible will never show us the true potential of this technology.

Under different social structures, it could possibly be a pretty great foundation for new kinds of monetary systems

A 70 euro KVM Switch that I use to switch all my peripherals between my work laptop and my home desktop at the press of a button. My work has a hybrid office policy, so on the days of the week that I need to pack my laptop or plug it back in, all I need to do is remove or insert three cables from the laptop’s ports only, no need to bend under my desk and move the desktop cable to the laptop. It also means that I can very easily switch between work and personal things when there’s not much to do or I’m waiting for a build etc.

that looks really cool, but I’d never risk it malfunctioning and hurting my cats, no amount of good reputation would be enough for me to risk it

Was on vacation to Italy waiting for the train to go to another city, and we met another couple there from Mexico that made some small talk. They told us that they’re going to get married after this trip, then we then talked about our countries and the economic and political struggles of them both, and they gave us a Mexican peso which we had never seen before. Despite it being a pretty small moment compared to all of the amazing things we saw in Italy, this is still one of the fondest memories of that trip
