I have a friend in Serbia and apparently it’s just an election stunt. What the proposal from UN aims to do is to just establish a day of remembrance to a genocide that happened, but the ruling party has twisted it into “UN is trying to declare us as a genocidal nation” to garner increased support from the nationalists.
The election itself is a re-run of a previous election, due to the previous election being pretty much rigged by the same ruling party. Simply incredible.
Obviously this study was done by people who are part of the far-left liberal establishment and are lying /s
But seriously, I doubt that people who buy into anti-woke rhetoric are going to care, they’re stuck in this “us vs them” bubble that’s incredibly difficult to escape from.
I used to also subscribe to this idea, treating Trump as a wake up call for the left in the US, but clearly this didn’t happen in his first term.
There’s no large-scale support for the left, barely any effective organization, very few left-wing politicians who could actually do anything. If Trump got a second term, the response would likely not be any different.
Vanguard takes screenshots of your PC every time you play a game. Every time you play a game a function is called to screenshot your PC’s screen, in case Vanguard thinks you might have something suspicious, it screenshots your ENTIRE PC screen (all monitors)....
I’ve tried to see if this is real but I fail to find any source code leaks for Vanguard or if it has ever been leaked. The poster himself also doesn’t seem that credible unless your definition of credible is “THE TERROR OF RIOT GAMES”.
Am I missing something or is this post likely just bullshit?
EDIT: It’s does seem to be real, though in the same thread other people with higher reputation did chime in that it doesn’t take screenshots of your other monitors, just the one Valorant is on.
Suspect this might be clickbait, they didn’t ban the original wiki. I’ve asked a friend of mine from Russia to verify this and they were able to access the ‘old’ wiki, both English and Russian version just fine.
Arch isn’t a bad choice for a new Linux user who was a power user on Windows. You get to actually know what’s installed on your system which can really help during the inevitable troubleshooting, though it’s definitely a trial by fire when it comes to manual install and setting up the environment.
Recommending Gentoo to a new user though is a war crime.
My very first distro was Manjaro actually - I tried it twice but there would always be some graphics related issue I would encounter that I couldn’t troubleshoot as a beginner (even though I’d spend a week looking for a solution on forums), and I’d move back to Windows. Finally getting the courage to try out Arch which was considered the “big scary meme distro” was what made me stay with Linux.
The biggest thing for me was that I actually knew what was installed on my system and what the function most of the major programs served (things like xorg, multilib graphics drivers, pipewire/pulseaudio, desktop environments/window managers), so whenever I encountered an issue or wanted to customize something, I would sort of know where to start looking.
Of course, all this depends on the person - not all power users are the same. For me, arch worked best but someone else might gravitate towards fedora, debian or whatever else and their way of doing things.
I don’t use twitter but I’m 99.9% sure it’s some unrelated person (jordan) linking two tweets of another person (Caitlin) in the same message to point out their hypocrisy.
The west, so afraid of strong government, now has no government. Only financial power. Slogans such as “governments have limited power by design” come from well-paid researchers, think tanks funded by big businesses. It’s privately funded propaganda, like the Trilateral Commision in United States, for instance.
If the government decides to privatize utilities like electricity/gas or whatever, then sure it is freedom for some rich business owners to open up new businesses. However, this also results in those utilities becoming profit driven (as opposed to being for the public), and literally everyone in the country having to pay much more than they were paying previously.
My country had electricity privatized around 4 years ago, and in result we have to pay a lot more, not to mention about numerous fraud cases that were all over the news during and after the privatization period.
If you think that rich business owners being able to open up a couple of business at the expense of fucking over the public is a good thing and being against it is some weird hexbear delusion, then I’d advise you to get out of the libertarian bubble and look at the real world instead.

Damn, I had a malicious version installed on my Arch machine. I’ve since done a system update which removes the backdoor, but looking more into it, it does seem that only fedora and debian(?) are affected/targeted but better safe than sorry.
It’s not the biggest issue I managed to fix, but it was definitely the hardest to figure out a fix for:
Whenever I would boot up any game on my Linux machine I would have microstutters ever so often, and it was frequent and lengthy enough to be very annoying, and thus started my 2 month long quest to figure out what was going wrong.
To cut a long story short, the compositor I was using had suddenly decided to do a breaking update and change the names of the backends they were using.
I also bought into the bit flip theory but it was confirmed that the hardware was somewhat faulty which is an infinitely more likely cause than cosmic rays. There’s also the fact that there aren’t any bits that could be flipped which would perfectly reproduce the glitch.
Yeah they can ignore them, but in a different way - notice how the conservative and even some liberal types went from denying climate change so there shouldn’t be any action taken to acknowledging climate change but refusing to do anything because “it’s not a big deal” or whatever to nowadays fully acknowledging climate change but saying that it’s too late for any sort of action to be taken.
Right, in a sense I’ll give you some points, as the current left (as in the parties, not the theory) is too disorganized to propose a viable alternative economic model. However, your entire comment comes off as rather disingenuous when it comes to arguing why “Capitalism can’t be changed”.
You can kick against capitalism all you want, god knows there are good reasons to, but you will never replace it with anything better. If you think life was good during primitive tribalism times, you should only be forced to try it and see.
An alternative to capitalism doesn’t mean we go back to monke at all. When looking at things historically, such as the Roman Empire or Feudalism, people didn’t live in tribalistic huts or whatever. Technology gave us the ability to build houses, to harness the power of electricity - not capitalism as an economic model.
I’ve seen parts of the world where people currently live in partial cardboard boxes with dirty mattresses as their only furniture. They still live as if the are not part of the modern world. And it isn’t pretty, life there is harsh and the reality of subsistence is extremely difficult.
This has literally nothing to do with Capitalism, but rather just with a country being poor or without proper government/order, though it’s way more complicated than that and I’m just simplifying. Also, there are countries in the world under Capitalism who are still developing and have people still living in the conditions you describe, such as in India or parts of Southeast Asia/South America/some African countries.
We kick against capitalism because we want to be moral warriors, but in truth we get a lot from our capitalist way of life; great food, good housing, nice furnishings, a place to hang out hat and plenty of leisure time. Just saying, it’s not all bad, and it’s really better than the alternatives.
First of all, criticizing something bad and/or wanting it to change doesn’t make you a “moral warrior”, by that logic a cancer researcher who tries to think of a cure is also a “moral warrior” which isn’t true. Also, you do realize that in most capitalist countries, things such as “good food, good housing” that you describe are only accessible by middle class people and above, right? If you’re poor (which is the majority of people under Capitalism), you might not be able to afford such things or be constantly at risk of losing your housing or whatever. Proposed alternatives such as Socialism have a lot of support because it often aims to bring these things (as in, stable housing, food) to more people when compared to Capitalism, so if you think that
Also as an aside, a very influential author who also stated that “Capitalism is the endpoint there can’t be anything better” was Francis Fukuyama, and he wrote a book in 1992 outlining just that. However, even he has changed his views since.

Yakuza, older games especially. You have amazing looking fully motion captured cutscenes which sometimes makes you forget that it’s a video game due to how realistic it looks, but then you’re out of the cutscene and the difference hits like a truck.
The best way to fathom this is to have a crippling addiction to Runescape. You can pretty much earn your first million after a week or two of play, after a certain point be able to earn few million a day. However, it can take multiple years for people to earn 1 billion gold, which is needed for some of the strongest equipment in the game.
