Fedora KDE.

I was happily using Windows 10 until a few months ago, but needed to build a new PC. I got a glimpse of Windows 11 on a friend’s laptop and didn’t like it. So I asked my Linux-friend which distribution he would recommend to someone who wants to try Linux, but doesn’t want to stray too far away from the windows look and feel.

Because people who never needed to use an annoying thing like to imagine and romantize how they would use it. Completely ignoring reality.

They shouldn’t worry so much about why the original satellite is in a new orbit. They should worry about the indistinguishable replica which took its place.

It’s not just. He should be locked up for his crimes. If people would want him released, they’d have to vote for a candidate who promises to do that. Just being a promising candidate isn’t a reason not to be prosecuted. There is simply no law for that.

The justice system is being intimidated by an angry mob into waiting out the situation. This is against everything what the justice system is supposed to do.

It’s not the will of “the people”, it’s the will of a minority. He HAS been voted out. Courts should indeed be more powerful than that.

I understand your viewpoint, but disagree.

By that argument any criminal ever could argue against prosecution because they intend to run for a public office. Ridiculous exaggeration of course, but if Trump gets this chance, everyone else should too.

You really took the downvotes with grace.

My so called broccoli-potato-gratin with pork neck includes quite an amount of cream, salt, bouillion cubes and cheese. My wife doesn’t know and it will stay that way.

The real question is: if Obama gave Trump an obviously terrible plan, with the goal to let as many people die as possible, would Trump have gone out of his way to save each and everyone - simply out of spite for Obama?

Of course he wouldn’t have, but I like the idea.

You are correct. The ICC warrant for Netanyahu needs yet to be approved by an ICC judge. For now it’s only a warrant request.

The same people who warned us about the dangers of the internet and not to believe everything, are now the ones readily falling for and spreading conspiracies and lies from social media.

It’s tragic.

Totally the same /s

Ukraine:

Russia: invades Ukraine, committing war crimes on a daily basis.

I don’t think you’re eligible to judge anyone’s cognitive abilities.

I never found anything which scratches the same itch Claymore does.

In my experience: the higher up the management chain, the higher the chance that they are just in for the bonuses - not for the company / industry. And those bonuses are always bound to these numbers which need to go up. When the numbers go down, these people are long gone.

The first people to leave aren’t going to be the clock punchers, it will be the best and brightest who can easily find other jobs.

Yes. But some of them are also the most expensive ones, so when they leave costs go down. And we all know “numbers must go up” (=cost must go down).

Cosmic Encounter

No two games are ever the same. So are the attempts to lure people in and out of encounters, and the following betrayels. Great fun.

You are correct. It was a monoculture forest and designed to be cut down sooner or later anyway.

Yes, because they are a) at the tipping point where they control enough institutions so the pieces fall together now, and b) someone came along who’s actually used all those pieces and everyone could see how absolutely unprepared and completely helpless the system and the political opponent was. They realized they don’t need to tiptoe around anymore.

Most importantly no stupid face with a angry/surprised/whatever expression.

I saw this argument / line of thought in a couple of similar topics already, and I gotta say this really only works if your oblivious enough to believe all/most asylum seekers want to stay in Greece.

But sure, it’s a nice catchphrase.
