I just avoid the AUR on Manjaro whenever possible. It still works 99% of the time. The few things I actually need to be bleeding edge I will just try to build from source.

But why? Just pick a new name and fork

They aren't stupid to abandon the brand and community just like that and start from nothing. The team plans to start a nonprofit that will work alongside and not under the current Manjaro company. They do say that if Manjaro GmbH & Co. KG declines, or the feel that they are dragging their heels (which they have done) they will start a strike. They are doing this rn. If that fails then they will just move to the next stage which is to leave and/or fork the project.

I guess something needed to be done.

Regime change status?

The slop beside... What's the point of throwing your students out a of class if they hadn't done the prepwork? In principle It's their personal learning that suffers there and at college/uni level you have to take responsibility for your own learning. if you don't you fail. It's not the professors job to enforce everybody's personal work morale outside of grading. If this something set out as mandatory for passing course, then fine, tough shit for students. I'm like almost imagining that the lecturer is punishing them or making an example of them as if they were a bunch of 12yo kids not doing their AI-slop homework and therefore disrespecting her authority. If they actually lacked the prerequisite knowledge to take part in discussion then they could have at least listened others speak and her maybe teach? No prepwork can be so important that the subject is totally incomprehensible if you don't do your AI-slop prep.

Tbh I don't know jack about American uni/college teaching culture or mybe enough of this case, but this sounds fucked.

All the big adult sites will probably just die or at least shrivel in popularity. Most Europeans simply will not use whatever "tell Brussels or London where or what what you are watching" option is. In the place of the big sites there will be a billion shady and likely virus-lottery proxy sites whose only selling point is that they do not do age checking or require registration. Those then get occasionally smacked down by Brussels, just to be replaced with 10 more clones the by the next week. On the side piracy and vpns will thrive. Kids will not be protected nor will people's privacy, quality will be worse.

I would also bet that when the landscape decentralizes there will be a lot more cp, revenge and peep-videos and other illegal shit in the mix that will get through through the cracks since massive established sites had to actually fear shutdown and losing all revenue unless they had robust gatekeeping mechanisms. If Brussels wants your 2 month life-expectancy site dead anyway, because of it's only selling point of having to show id, then why really bother with the quality control of the material. Especially if site holder has no personal qualms about that stuff.

It's kinda same when you hear people starting their sentences with "I'm not political, but..." and you can then be sure that for a next few seconds you will hear the most feverish liberal take possible.

"The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the 'celebrities' will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels," the ministry added.

They will toss the aid to the wood chipper and laugh about it, won't they...

I'm not a psycho, but....

A true nihilist would have just killed himself and been done with it. Instead overdose of liberalism and hyper individualism makes people just not want to live, but also make a show of murdering other people, because the "show" puts them and their ego on the center stage.

I mean at this point if you have seen what Israel has done, unfiltered by the media, then there is almost nothing that will shake people out of their views. If you support Israel after knowing that they purposefully shell hospitals and children, then you will most likely keep supporting Israel no matter what. Same goes for those who oppose Israel and it's genocide.

1. Stockmarket's are totally decoupled from the health of the real economy. The real economy is already toast.

2. Only small porkies and workers will potentially lose from this.

3. Hedgefunds win if line goes up and when it goes down.

Why do kill switches when you can just hog all the work of maintaining some critical part of the infrastructure and make it's functioning and maintenance so opaque and impenetrable that the employer can't replace or fire you without their shit catching fire soon after. It doesn't have to be malicious or illegal.

His efforts to sabotage their network began that year, and by the next year, he had planted different forms of malicious code, creating "infinite loops" that deleted coworker profile files, preventing legitimate logins and causing system crashes

I wish this guy was were actually politically motivated, but he seems to have been just really petty minded person.
