Yes, I find this obsession with Arch on Lemmy very weird. It’s certainly not a distro for beginners. Ubuntu (let the hate flow), Mint, Fedora, and many others would be better choices.

If it is what you like, fair enough but I feel that it is encouraged around here as a default for both beginners and advanced users, which is bizarre. It’s too complex for beginners and not optimisable enough for very advanced users. I don’t hate it but I hate to see it become the standard.

drolex ,

Compared to gentoo for instance, packages are not compiled depending on the HW they are installed on. So, not enough resource optimisation and customisation for some users

Of course, any distro is customisable if you spend the time to do it voluntarily, but by default it’s not the way it works

Can’t wait to install proprietary, incompatible, bloatware-ridden MS software on my Linux PC! This is everything I ever wanted!

Saving this for later when a need to get massive levels of frustration, so massive that I will be punching my screen, arises. (Can’t wait!)

drolex ,

Yes, but this is the default on many distros, so for once the end user is not to blame

drolex ,

Everyone on any Linux thread ever: you are a moron, obviously and you’re doing it wrong. Why don’t you install another distro, or better yet: modify and recompile your distro to match your desired experience, the code is open source ffs! What do you need? 4 years of work maybe? Come on.

True! I’ve got rid of my monitor a long time ago, who needs one? gshshhshshshhshbsbbs

efficient ICE cars consume ~6l per passenger per 100km.

More like 6L per 100km, whatever the number of passengers, I suppose. So it’s usually still less than planes.

And there are better alternatives like trains or buses, which can be actually efficient for long distance travels (high speed trains, night travel. Works well from city centre to city centre)

There is also the additional issue of contrails which are a massive factor of greenhouse effect

rofl one can still try to minimise data collection as a whole. Because one party spies on me, I don’t have to let everyone do it. Lmao. You’re just bringing whataboutism to a legitimate concern. Lel

There are a few inaccuracies and simplifications here. Lactalis is independent from Nestlé, though they have a co-entreprise for dairy. For l’Oréal, it’s a bit disingenuous to link both here because massive companies like that have a lot of mutual participations. And KitKat is manufactured by Hershey’s in the US I think.

That being said, Lactalis is equally shitty so you can avoid it anyway. And the same goes for l’Oréal. I don’t know about Hershey’s but I could bet.

Do you have a reference for the citation? It’s quite interesting, ‘petite mort’ has come to describe the psychological effects of rape…

I imagine the Brits used to have the same reaction at the end of the nineteenth century “Earl Grey? Darjeeling? Irish breakfast? I want black tea!”

You’re not French? Why not? Explain please, I’m curious. Do you hate baguettes or are you naturally humble 🤔

ETA: hon hon hon

Classic take: name all the Brötchen then?

And if you’re France’s best friend, why do you keep describing our glorious Peugeot 208 as “Schweinsmiststückswagen für verrückte Weinonanisten”?

drolex ,

I wish I could criticise your French, but it’s flawless. You leave me with no other choice. I have to reluctantly nod my head (not smiling though)

At this point I’m not sure if I’m too much racist or too much woke, because I absolutely don’t understand what is the meaning of the joke. Is German a race now? Or are Asians (race?) supposed to hate pretzels for some reason?

drolex ,

But he’s really describing Germans as a race? I feel like my grandfather when I was talking to him about playing Sonic

Edit: I get it now, thanks for your effort

drolex ,

Ah OK OK, thanks for taking the time to dumb it down.

I’m American now? Fuck! Thanks Obama, I guess

Alternative answer: YES!

Companies know best what is good for us and people crave stuff with a micro- prefix, like microplastics (yummy), microtransactions (funny), microbial infections (it’s like a pet), microwaves in your brain (tickles), etc.

she doesn’t display any of Jesus’s qualities

Disagree.

She has long hair. Ok, not specified in the bible, but it’s canon at this point.

Also the episode of Jesus whoring at the theatre… Wait what is this bible?

drolex ,

True true. And also christian, like Jesus the Jew.

Bless him.

The guy has made Peugeot a profitable company. This is a bona fide miracle, given how shitty the cars have become. BUT! Now they are shitty and 40% more expensive, you absolutely need to buy one.

Isn’t this the principle of happy hours? I guess “algorithm-enforced beverage price dissymmetry” is a bit more ominous than “happy hour”

CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,460% since 1978 (www.epi.org)

“average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989”

drolex , (edited )

Alternative analysis for the WSJ: CEOs endure crisis after crisis - CEOs pay has shown massive cuts on several occasions in the last few years. While average workers salaries have steadily grown in the last 45 years, the pay of CEOs has been regularly affected by enormous cuts, sometimes as much as 45℅.

Bozo McGill, representative for the CEOs in distress: “maybe it’s time to stop caring about the poor. Let’s reduce taxes for the CEOs, otherwise they won’t afford a Lambo a month anymore”

OP is the second guy from the left. OP knows that the girl is very fond of creepy clowns, but still hopes that she’ll like funny memes shown on his phone.

Also, the clown is well known to have a very large penis. He’s able to give pleasure to multiple partners at once, for a long time.

“Afghanistan was a just action”. Was it really? Is it justice to invade a country and kill civilians for an act of terrorism, even a massive one? Should the Latin american countries where the CIA operated, installed dictatorships and helped to kill thousands, bomb the USA? Wasn’t it foreign terrorism? Should Vietnam invade the USA for its use of Agent orange and napalm? Would it be just?

drolex ,

That’s the neat part: nobody is a civilian when you define everyone as an unlawful combatant.

But otherwise, every war ever fought has killed civilians; so starting a war is automatically about killing civilians at some point. Stating that it’s not the main goal is hypocritical

drolex ,

Well they did let him do his thing (unknowingly). They even trained him… But after that, I think they shouldn’t have invaded a country for him. Otherwise where do you stop? Do the US bomb Texas every time there is a Christian bomber?
