Why are you posting Lunduke, a known alt-right fascist whose technical opinions are the culture war of the month, and not the original grant or better secondary sources?

The STF regularly gives grants to various projects to focus on areas such as security and accessibility which maintainers often lack the necessary resources to focus on. The previous grant recipients include systemd, GNOME, OpenSSL, Curl, Pipewire among many others. This has been going on for a long time. Providing half a million euros to improve Arch Linux is not a backdoor scheme.

You should be ashamed of yourself for posting Lunduke, do better next time (or maybe do a simple 10 second background check of your sources next time).

You’re not Taiwanese-American you’re Chinese-American. Taiwan is a rogue state created by US imperialists to assault China and it’s working considering how well it worked on you (the fact you consider yourself “Taiwanese” is insulting considering the history of the White Terror and the fact you were born and raised in a capitalist empire that treated Chinese as subhuman for centuries).

If you want to see the result of your anti-communist internalized racism you should look at the fate of Ukraine. The real world doesn’t work on your feelings.

Ukrainian Azov seeing a drone fly above him in the final moments of his life.

level argument.

I suggest a Special Military Operation

Notice the most cracked developer “Arno” is a white guy with very expensive equipment who was raised in that environment for more than a decade?

CS not beating the white supremacy allegations any time soon in the West.

The level of smugness emanating from this meme is overwhelming, techbro levels of bad.

The wheel was never perfectly good actually, it was actually incredibly bad and needs to be fixed.

I saw a french documentary where they sent this guy to Italy so he could learn how to make the good pizza and brought experts in to check.

It looked like some good ass Italian pizza. Too bad the frenchies were too busy pretending to care about peasants in the countryside to actually be normal and enjoy it. The one woman whose father was born the north was the most normal one, she actually enjoyed her time being there and didn’t pretend to wax poetic about poverty.

It is really funny that liberals expect me to believe their genuine concern for the peasant class of Korea when their entire lives are subsidized by the Global South via imperialism.

Me calling migrants at the US-Mexico border “defectors” because I am definitely not racist and coddled

“I wonder why all these defectors are being deported?”

are actively perpetuating colonization and genocide rather than simply getting an advantage from their ancestors

USAmericans are also doing this too. The overconsumption done by yankees would require multiple planet earths if everyone were allowed to consume as much as they do and the US government is guilty of exporting a capitalist system that causes climate change, not to mention the imperialism abroad. There is no functional difference between the US and Israel, just “Big Satan” vs. “Little Satan.”

I agree with your points entirely, it’s just amusing to see the people who do disagree experience a tiny iota of the fear and despair that the indigenous peoples of America and beyond had to feel when their world was destroyed and stolen.

It is really telling that suddenly they fear for their lives once they think they will be victims of the same colonization that gave them privilege. They’ve internalized that this process only functions through mass slaughter and terror and start waxing poetic about “human nature”

Keyboard -> Keyboard shortcuts from Settings will show all the available keyboard shortcuts. You can also create your own custom keybindings

These seem like a lot of personal design complaints rather than actual issues with GNOME itself.

And to my understanding Gnome expects you to use basically every application with a full screen window anyway

You misunderstood, that’s not what GNOME expects at all. Your app not maximizing on startup is because the app doesn’t maximize on startup. GNOME doesn’t have a setting to maximize all apps by default since that should be the app’s responsibility.

If you want the auto-tiling window manager experience, you’ll need to install an extension (Paperwm, tiling shell, Forge, Pop shell). Extensions are like applications, there’s no shame in using them.

NixOS’s installer has been seeing a lot of work, I’m not aware of the a11y changes but it has been getting a lot simpler and compact.

Modern China is not a communist state and suffers the exact same problems the US suffers from.

Good thing you mentioned modern China since obviously the warlord era of China was obviously better. It all went downhill since the Xia dynasty.

China, Russia and the US are all authoritarian states and none of them are your friends

I guess it would be hard to be friends with a country, it’s quite big… with lots of people.

Jokes aside, this is the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand. You’re more concerned with sounding like a good person rather than investigating the truth. Using the word authoritarian, just like how many liberals use the word totalitarian or tankie, is just a way to generate self-flattering, psuedo-intellectual discussions based on pure idealism.

China, Russia, North Korea

Conveniently all enemies of the US State Department. Don’t those tankies know that these countries are bad because checks notes they do the authoritarianisms.

Let us look at a specific example. A claim like “There’s cultural genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang” is simply unreal to most Westerners, close to pure gibberish. The words really refer to existing entities and geographies, but Westerners aren’t familiar with them. The actual content of the utterance as it spills out is no more complex or nuanced than “China Bad,” and the elementary mistakes people make when they write out statements of “solidarity” make that much clear. This is not a complaint that these people have not studied China enough — there’s no reason to expect them to study China, and retrospectively I think to some extent it was a mistake to personally have spent so much time trying to teach them. It’s instead an acknowledgment that they are eagerly wielding the accusation like a club, that they are in reality unconcerned with its truth-content, because it serves a social purpose.

What is this social purpose? Westerners want to believe that other places are worse off, exactly how Americans and Canadians perennially flatter themselves by attacking each others’ decaying health-care systems, or how a divorcee might fantasize that their ex-lover’s blooming love-life is secretly miserable. This kind of “crab mentality” is actually a sophisticated coping mechanism suitable for an environment in which no other course of action seems viable.

You don’t care, you have never cared. You can change but I doubt you will.

Actually there’s a video like that right here
