Plenty of other places, all of them much worse.

Call me old fashioned but even with all of their problems I would still rather buy stuff from Trump’s USA than - say - Azerbaijan, or any of the turds with lipstick in the Middle East such as UAE, SA or Iran.

Eh, I mean. You have to buy fossil somewhere, unfortunately.

We used to buy it in great part from Russia, now we can’t. Which is a good thing. But that severely limits our options.

Even if Trump were to shut the fuck up, which would be amazing, we would probably be buying a lot of raw energy materials from USA anyway.

“Forcing” us to buy American energy is a bit like putting food in your dog’s bowl and then sternly commanding him to eat it, showing off your leadership skills.

And to think Africans complain about their rectangle borders, Americans are just fine!

Funny how this is supposed to be absurd - upside down duck, cake, “bizarro” and all - but it’s actually pretty accurate. So many products out there that require you to download their shitty spyware in order to do the things they are supposed to do.

Sure, but honestly I hate the idea of having different runtimes. That’s the reason why I like neither snaps nor flatpaks.

Real. Though sometimes running a recent version of something is a real challenge, unless it ships in appimage. If it’s a small program you can usually backport the package from unstable or just build it yourself, but if it depends on some rust or js libraries or whathaveyou you have to do so much crap you might as well just be running trixie

SUSE was a German company a century ago, then it changed hands more than a soap bar in a public restroom and now I have no idea if it’s even a terrestrial company anymore

As slow as you expect, at least on anything that requires gpu such as watching videos

Only two questions

  1. How do you see through it

  2. When can I buy it

Did you misread my sentence?

Ok, unpopular take here:

Based Russia, we should all be doing this - and extend it to all the junk we import from China that we have to replace every year instead of only buying once, flooding them with money and sending local production out of business.

Just because Russia is a terrorist state that doesn’t deserve their sovereignty and should receive the 1945 axis treatment, it doesn’t mean that they can’t do one right thing once in a blue moon. This is it.
