China is a member of the United Nations and has veto powers… The court was presided by a Ghanian.

As Fredthefishlord said, you don’t need to defend China just because you oppose the US.

And that is a direct response to China ignoring the South China Sea Arbitration.

I hope you get paid for your effort though.

?? The bases were closed in 1991 or given to the Philippines and US troops returned to the Philippines due to China aggressions and talks of giving back some bases to the US for the same reason.

China is a bully country, they have no friends in the area for that reason.

China bullies the Philippines every day, how can you considering having a trading partner like that? Chinese ships are attacking Philippines fishers too.

“Starting over” is how we learnt Windows in the 90’s too

The lingering feeling of instability. This is my second install of OpenSUSE, after I messed up something leading to my computer having some files which it wanted to update, but using urls which didn’t exist. After this, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure and afraid of doing something that ruins my installation. I know there’s the saying that Linux ‘just works’, but I’ve never messed up a Windows installation…

Regarding this. How often did you mess your windows installation when you started? Because I started around 8 years old with MSDOS and I screwed Windows many times, eventually I learnt what to do and what not.

Regarding software today it’s easier than it’s ever been in Linux. With flatpack, appimages and the different repos.

Anyway there is this scene in the show “Bojack Horseman” where the titular character was trying to do some exercise by running up a hill and he is tired, exhausted, another characters pass by and says: “It gets easier”, “uh?” answers Bojack, “It gets easier but you have to do it every day, that’s the hard part”.

What that means is, it will get easier, specially when you are young, but you have to be constant, you have to keep messing around and do backups.

Here is the scene from Bojack

That being said, I am huge fan of opensuse and debian but eventually on my desktop I went with endeavour-os, the only time I screwed it up it was easy to fix it by using the live-iso editing the config files and fixed, now I keep a journal when I change anything :)

I agree with the point that land is owned by the one strong enough to enforce ownership.

I also think you agree with my point that we don’t own our land, or even our houses, the State owns it and we rent it from them.

Well isn’t that pretty much what my local government did?

Considering it’s history. It was Monarch land, then took by dictator, then took by Republic, then took by dictator, then back to Monarchy for a short period during democratic transitioning. Well technically they didn’t even buy it they just took it.

While the people living here, which with me it’s 3 generations of my family but another three before that of another family (the ones who built it), had to paid for it the whole time.

At least the duchess land was really cheap, like 1 testimonial cent even in recent times.

If that sounds fair to you, then okay, nothing different from Absolute Monarchies time except the Monarchs.

If you pay property taxes then the property isn’t yours.

In my town, the land belongs to the local government.

They still have politics, for example, the hardest immigration policy in the planet.

CoreCtrl fixed all my issues for the GPU and CPU fan.

Okay, give me a number and I’ll call you now.

You can do all that with KDE without using the terminal.

But, I won’t talk about software because even distributions have their own way to install them without terminal and there is flatpak from a corporate perspective you dont want users to install software on their own.

Users don’t even know how they organize their files, the difference between sharepoint, teams or onedrive. Of course they can’t use a terminal but they would never need to like users in windows don’t handle updates, their IT do.

but after a couple times you’re left with no choice but to let it run.

That would be an user issue then. If I have an update I’ll try to do it asap, if I can’t then end of my shift.

As someone who walks the dog early in the morning… I watch the magpies, crows and other birds fool around while perving on the people drinking their coffee in the windows.

I miss the old internet

That’s what happens when people are desperate and he was desperate.
