Which is why their TOS prohibits all discussion relating to it lol

Lol they banned discussion of jury nullification despite the fact that they have no reason to so their constant complaining about ml is moot

I remember reading an interesting note of a priest having difficulty trying to convince incarcerated people to join Christianity because they were being outcompeted by Islam due to the fact that the Bible was wildly inconsistent with its messaging unlike the Quran which was a straightforward book of rules.

He went on to talk about how prisoners were always initially interested to learn that the Bible contained explicit material, but would ultimately find the Quran more useful because it just repeated itself about what and what not to do.

Not Eurpoe specifically but I shared a rather basic comment on YouTube joking about Great Britain causing famines in India but its okay because they brought trains and the result is a mile long thread of pissed off UK suckers telling me I’m wrong, that there was no fammine, the Wikipedia article and its 300 sources are fake, and that the British empire totally went around modernizing civilization for the benefit of humanity. (Was a post about Irish complaining about a very crappy Irish History book made by a British author)

So I guess for any of those people, no GB was just a colonist empire racing to exploit the hell out of resources faster than France, Spain, and Portugal. The technology they brought was used almost exclusively in their conquest operations (Trains used to transport goods and resources) and they actively supported and supplied opposition groups to destabilize and overthrow governments similar to what the USA does today.

I mean seriously, they held immense power over China via opium and are responsible for practically every shill state in the middle east because they provided weapons to overthrow the Ottaman empire.

The iconic pan arab flag is actually a British designed flag given to all the opposition groups they funded to break up Ottaman power.

They fell apart after exhausting their power in WWII and the USA came in to save them so now they gleefully cheer about how they carried in WWII with intelligence services as if Germany couldn’t have easily invaded the entire nation overnight had Hitler not been an incompetent moron.

Thankfully, after exploiting half the world, they totally didn’t spend the last of their power screwing over every former colony into some long term problem that they could exploit without the need for military power.

Poettering worked for Red Hat from 2008 to 2022.[2][3] He then joined Microsoft.

In 2017, Poettering received the Pwnie Award for Lamest Vendor Response to vulnerabilities reported in systemd.

This Mastodon stream from Lennart Poettering describes a sudo replacement — called run0 — that will be part of the upcoming systemd 256 release. It takes a rather different approach to the execution of privileged commands, avoiding the use of setuid (which he calls “SUID”) permissions entirely.

Basically Microsoft bloat confirmed, everyone switch back to OpenRC lol

Compiz, XFCE, and GNOME <40 (now Cinnamon and MATE) proved quality UI design 15+ years ago.

It is actually insulting to Linux desktop that the default DE on the top distros don’t even have minimize and expand buttons by default, and that any extra features require DE plugins.

GNOME 40+ is like Wayland. Years of development for practically no real user improvements. Every update shows off features DEs had over a decade ago.

GNOME 47’s first listed big change is accent colors. wtf??? What the f*** do you think we’ve been using GTK and Qt for???

At least with KDE, the ram usage is justified. GNOME eats system resources just to give you a shitty ChomeOS UI that feels just as cheap.

The moment XFCE ports to Wayland, I’ll happily swap Compiz for Wayfire and use my computer like a normal person.

Windows devs (clearly on crack): “Let’s store random critical shit in a crappy database registry thing and retain literally all the drawbacks of DOS on our new NT system”
