  • Nah fuck them. From what I’ve seen, all of the socialist/communist communities are absolutely filled with delusional totalitarianism worshipers. People who should be critically examining are instead repeating that there is no war in Ba Sing Se.

    For example I had my comments deleted for pointing out that China is just another neocolonial power exploiting third worlders.

    China actively engaging in corruption on the state level in mine and every other third world country - western propaganda.

    China is actively abusing that same corruption to steal resources and annhiliate the environment - people who don’t have drinking water anymore due to a copper mine are obviously paid by the west to spread sinophobic propaganda. A video, from one of the few media agencies not controlled by the state, of a Chinese tire factory releasing industrial sewage into a river people are getting their water form - fake news obviously because they’re getting some of their money from the EU.

    China actively using slave labour in my country - again western propaganda, no matter the victim reports from multiple countries across the world. Disregard the fact that I have first/second hand accounts of their living conditions, the only reputable source of information is the CCP. I’ve had quite a few insults thrown my way before the EU, UN, and the USA made public announcements that the exact consortium I was talking about was using slave labour.

    I guess it just makes sense to take the higher interest loans with no oversight from China instead of the EU, use them to pay Chinese companies to build the most expensive infrastructure in Europe using literal SLAVE labour, have that infrastructure already kill more than a dozen people with many more in the future, and then pay off those debts by selling off waterways, national parks, and every other natural resource. I’m just an anti revolutionary fool for believing western propaganda, and China could never do anything wrong.

    Sorry for the rant but fuck tankies


  • Arch yes, nix no. It’s about the age of the user base, not the age of the distro. Arch is popular with gamer children, and completely unsuited for any professional use, while nixos is the complete opposite.

    And you wouldn’t guess it, but both of those are older than ubuntu and fedora.

    I used vanilla arch and most popular derivative

    That very much includes garuda… It uses the same repos, it’s going to have the same issues. I’m pretty sure the all in one ran it for the longest time.

    Snapshots and rollbacks by default are veru much appreciated though.

    I don’t know what distro y’all are on,

    I used vanilla arch and most popular derivatives, on multiple devices, for something like 5 years. Also, I avoided using AUR whenever possible.

    I haven’t had a major issue that wasn’t fixed by an update and reboot.

    Meanwhile I’d update and fail to boot. True, for most scenarios I could just roll back and wait a week before updating, but I had to live boot and arch-chroot plenty of times.

    The most annoying was some work backup all in one. I’d update it at most like once a month, it would fail to boot 1/3 times, and i’d rollback, wait a few weeks, and then update again with no issues.

    I gave up on arch after working abroad and having to weigh which install command is more likely to fuck up my system after being too afraid to do an update for like a month.

    Serbia, in its first constitution in 1835, declared that any person stepping foot on its soil becomes free. Similarly to how Mexico had plans to decriminalise drugs, this constitution lasted for only 55 days before every feudalistic power in Europe (Ottoman, Russian, Austrian, etc.) managed to take it down for being too revolutionary. Can’t have peasants that don’t speak french thinking about liberty, equality, and limiting the powers of monarchs…

    A couple of centuries later, a crime lord dictator of Serbia allows Chinese Companies to enslave people and bring them to work in their factories, mines, or construction…

    Bonus stage 0: special login URL decided to crap out, and going back to any point in history automatically redirects to the error page that you can’t use to log in, so you need to keep going back and trying to copy the URL before it redirects becausw Firefox interprets pressing “stop” as “do whatever you want idk”

    Fucking aws…
