Once again you insult me, you call me names, and you contradict the obvious fact of a hereditary monarchy in North Korea.

Standardizing package management? Imagine everyone being stuck with .rpm

to the people downvoting me, do you disagree with ANYTHING i said?

i know? that’s what i just said. why are people downvoting me for, like, agreeing with them? this place is just relentless. i might quit

naahhhhh… (i play 2D games)

loser city up in here

I guess I’m saying you can dismiss the Daily Mail without developing speculative conspiracy theories to explain away its claims. A broken clock is right twice a day. But, yeah. I wish OP had posted a source other than the Mail

But didn’t Kim Il Sung, the first leader of the DPRK, father Kim Jong Il? And didn’t Kim Jong Il, the second leader of the DPRK, father Kim Jong Un? And didn’t Kim Jong Un father Kim Ju Ae, viewed by South Korea as Kim Jong Un’s most likely successor? How many generations must supreme power reside within one family until you admit it’s a hereditary monarchy?

That, and once again you’re being incredibly rude and condescending. Please don’t call me “buddy” or talk about my “person” like that. Keep your mind on discussing the topic and hand, and avoid getting emotional and attempting to insult me.

Have you ever considered that Ukraine doesn’t want peace talks to succeed? Agree with it or not, they want their land back. By attacking Russia in its capital heavily right before peace talks, they’re daring Putin to fume about it and end up violating the ceasefire, giving Ukraine the ability to say “We told you so” and ask for more money from the US and EU.

I don’t support Putin but that doesn’t mean I blindly dismiss that civilians get harmed in military conflicts. The thrust of your reasoning appears to be “Ukraine is good, Russia is bad, killing civilians is bad, Ukraine killed Russian civilians…DOES NOT COMPUTE…CONTRADICTION…DISMISS THE FACTS”

Like, dude. War is Hell. And it’s never as simple as good guys and bad guys. Sure, Putin is a clear bad guy. But most everything else going on is morally grey. As for the facts of the attack, this was confirmed by AP, the BBC, and CNN. Are you sure the British are Trump/Putin media? What about the AP, which has been barred from the White House over Trump’s “Gulf of America” debacle? There’s no excuses for not simply looking it up. You made this post 35 minutes ago.

EDIT: To be clear, I do oppose Trump, Putin, and the Daily Mail. They are all authoritarian right-wing in ideology if not outright neo-fascist/neo-nationalist/proto-fascist

so it isn’t a hereditary monarchy? or are you just going to attack me personally instead of making an actual argument regarding the topic at hand?

The article was about Windows. And, no, I’m not on Windows. i use GrapheneOS on my phone and triple-boot Arch/Debian/Fedora on my laptop. I’m just making the point that the article was about Windows so replying with UNIX commands doesn’t really make sense.

You really had me until you claimed workers are in charge of the DPRK. it looks like a hereditary monarchy to me.

for Windows?

For people who are beginners when it comes to computers in general, yeah. But for people who are new to GNU/Linux but experienced with CS/math, it’ll really not be that hard to run archinstall and configure from there. It’s not that different than many other distros, which also have an installer and then post-install configuration to contend with. I’d just argue arch has newer packages and better documentation which some beginners (in the sense they’re coming from macOS/Windows but know how basic software concepts) might appreciate.

I don’t think archinstall is drowning sysadmins/programmers/CS students. What it will do is teach them to swim.

To be clear, I don’t recommend it. But it was once favored over KVM for a variety of applications and it works in a fundamentally different way. I’m just surprised how quickly it’s lost favor among techies.

I looked into it, and you make a good point.

The CFC is commanded by a four-star U.S. Army general, with a four-star ROK Army general as deputy commander. This pattern exists throughout the CFC command structure: if the chief of a staff section is Korean, the deputy is American and vice versa.

I’m not saying the US is a perfect democracy. I’m stating that they’re relatively more democratic. I don’t think the US is a democracy. But I do think that it’s relatively less democratic than the ROK, which appears to be headed vaguely in the direction of democracy, unlike the US or the DPRK. But we’ll have to wait and find out as to whether they actually make it there. Good point about the concentration of economic power. Which obviously means political power as well. But their right-wing aspiring dictator seems more likely to be held accountable for his crimes than the US’s. And maybe that says something about their relative degrees of democracy.

Good point, honestly. But, if worst comes to worse, I expect continental Europe to stand with other continental Europeans and their interests before it stands with the likes of the US and UK.
