Also because it's obvious and saying it only fans more flames for WWIII. We're having a hard enough time preventing it with Israel actively trying to derail any attempts at peace. It took long enough to get Trump even pushing in that direction. It will take a miracle for him to not get distracted. The last thing we need is to make this an open contest between world powers and double down on this mess.

But Zelenski doesn't care. He'll fan whatever flames if it help him with his conflict. This is the problem with having all these proxy countries associated with you. They don't always have your exact same strategic priorities or alignment with your goals. Our goal should be to get the US out of war. And both of these countries (Ukraine and Israel) want us in.

Correct. Your comment has nothing to do with his.

Well clearly people could use it to find security holes in their backend, since those def exist.

They would have to be baggy jeans. There is very little value in a deep pocket that doesn't have space to move things in and out of that pocket. Women's jeans, with exceptions, tend to hug.

Israel. And they don't want the war to stop. So the second there is peace they will tear it up. If the US wants peace, and we should, we need to decouple our negotiation from Israel. But we can't do that while we fund their military because Iran would be reasonable to think that if we stop fighting per our deals that we are then using Israel as a proxy to get around the deal.

It is a very dangerous thing that we've given these people money. Now we can't negotiate deals independently. We can't be decoupled from their actions since we've funded those actions. So the US can't have peace as long as we fund people who are dead set on maintaining conflict. We can't cancel funding to Israel fast enough.

Trump needs to learn what a frenimy is. When you have a friend that fucks up everything you do, they aren't your friend. It is safer to turn your back on an enemy than a false friend.

My top one is writing my own project management software, and maintaining it for over a decade as its only user, because without it I would be 100% dysfunctional. It could be argued that the software isn't even that good. But it involves ranking the tasks against each other so at the end you have to pick something concrete.

If we want to avoid giving into age verification we'll still need to be selective about the Linux. But we have a chart.

What a sour thing to say.

All presidents are evil. Bill Clinton embargoed Iraq to shift the news cycle off of his blowjob, and it killed a million children who had dependence on imported medical supplies.

Trump isn't special. Just one more cunt.

Sweet. It's one of the few at the top of our poll I haven't seen. And I'm pretty excited for it.

This is why I'm going to argue for pure Arch or Artix. Ultimately, what a lot of these distros bring to the table is artwork. But they bite off a lot more than artwork when doing so. And in time they can start to suck at that administration.

It's not very hard to set up your system with a vanilla DE and adjust it into something good. You don't need to get fancy. And to the extent someone else's art work can be good and accelerate getting to a nice system, there are other ways to distribute that.

You should want your distro to be 95% administration and 5% art because in the long run that's whats going to keep your system stable and avoid future headaches. But some artists are overly ambitious and envision creating an entire version of an operating system, including the parts they aren't passionate about. And some people buy in on this premise and install these projects. ...instead of just releasing dot files.

For it to go well requires that both the leadership and the contributors are passionate about all of the parts and passionate about them forever. Not very likely. If you want a distro that is administered well, get a distro where administration is all they do, and then get your artwork as a separate selection.

Now you can get your art from artists who put 95% of their effort into art. And your package stability by people who put 95% of their effort into package stability.

Everyone has romantic feelings toward a system that is integrated. But what they should realize is that integrated and modular are opposites. And modular is what they should want, with effective roll separation.

If they fork Majaro that is good. If when they fork it they scope down to just distribute a dot file set, and maybe create their own easy installer for Arch that isn't a seperate whole distro, that is better.
