Yes they do. Even if they didn't that excuses nothing about what Israel is doing.
And I guess by your Zionist logic no country has any sovereignty if anybody but themselves controls both sides of the border, which checks out since that's also how Israel seems to think borders work.
More expensive business-class laptops, like the T-series, is I think what RedHat and others give to their employees, thus they are usually better supported than cheaper consumer models.
This is incorrect, that firmware is not included in the installer (for legal reasons, probably). firmware-b43-installer is just a script. It downloads some driver from a website and extracts the firmware blobs from that driver using another utility called b43-fwcutter. The package description for that reads:
Description: utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware
This package provides a tool for extracting BCM43xx wireless chip firmware from Broadcom's proprietary driver files.
It is used by the firmware-b43(legacy)-installer packages as part of the automated process of downloading and installing firmware.
The problem here is that there was no intent to cause a famine at all, and neither was a specific group (like Ukrainians) specifically targeted for starvation once it was there. This isn't some fringe opinion, this is the opinion of mainstream Western historians like Davies and Wheatcroft that actually research this stuff.
Putting the Holodomor (not a genocide) on the same level as the Holocaust (textbook genocide) is therefore relativizing the Holocaust. This was and is used to whitewash Nazis (and collaborators) and their crimes as basically a form of "self-defense" or liberation. This was already actual Nazi propaganda used by the Nazis, and is now state-sponsored propaganda used in e.g. the Baltic states to rehabilitate actual Holocaust perpetrators.
In May 2012, the foreign minister of Lithuania (left) honored Prof. Snyder in the week during which his government was reburying with full honors the 1941 Nazi puppet prime minister. The foreign minister is known for his antisemitic outbursts, his Hitler-Stalin “moustache comparison” and his defense of the Nazi’s reburial on the floor the nation’s parliament. The event has been seen as part of a wider pattern of high officials honoring western dignitaries who seem to be supporting — or can be presented as favoring — one or more components of Baltic revisionist history.
Timothy Snyder is the "double genocide" historian and author.
In July 2012, the Lithuanian foreign minister explained how Professor Snyder’s Bloodlands will be utilized during Lithuania’s (rotating) EU presidency in 2013, as part of a wider “Double Genocide offensive” in the EU. The use of Bloodlands for the nationalist narrative had earlier been proposed or explained by professors Saulius Sužiedėlis and Egidijus Aleksandravičius. Earlier (ab)use of ‘Bloodlands’ included a September 2011 book event held at the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry where passages were misquoted to defame Jewish partisan veterans.
The US plans for a lot of situations, as does any competent military. Are you trying to say that the US intended to make these strikes all along, rather than in retaliation for strikes against them?
Yes, obviously.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_Yemen
The blockade has contributed to the current famine in Yemen, which the United Nations said may become the deadliest famine in decades. The World Health Organization announced in 2017, that the number of suspected persons with cholera in Yemen reached approximately 500,000 people. In 2018, Save the Children estimated that 85,000 children have died due to starvation in the three years prior.
The U.S. has supported the Arab coalition's intervention in the war, and the United States Navy actively participated in the naval blockade at the beginning of the intervention. In mid-2015, Washington increased its logistical and intelligence support to Saudi Arabia by creating a joint coordination planning cell with the Saudi military to help manage the war.
Hmm. I wonder why they'd fire on a hostile fleet that sailed halfway around the world and that had basically already declared war on them. Particularly when said fleet previously implemented a blockade that caused a famine, which killed hundreds of thousands, mostly children.
different conceptions of democracy
This is kind of my point. Western liberals claim their representative type of democracy is the only correct way to have democracy. But in their version of democracy, economic power allows oligarchs and corporations to own and control the media, there are countless legal (and illegal) ways to influence policy and bribe politicians, and the police and courts routinely suppress anti-capitalist and other emancipatory movements, organizations and individuals.
Giving lectures about democracy when you're at the helm of a country that is actually ruled by the capitalist class is hypocritical.
Have a good day.
Look, you can't just present an argument and then tell me not to reply.
The history of Ukrainian support of him is fairly new and is far more complicated than “we like fascists”,
I'd like to hear your arguments why worshiping the leader of an organization that took part in the Holocaust is somehow "complicated". It's not like this isn't some well-known fact. Seriously, this is obviously totally fucked. Why would you feel to need to defend this? It's not, actually, fucking complicated.
hostility so far
And whose fault is that?
How is that supposed to work?
This will happen and marginalized groups like illegal immigrants, the homeless, and the disabled will be effectively excluded. Poor people are going to have their finances controlled even more. This will cause deaths.
Works for me. That site is sometimes a bit slow.
1: Probably any non-basic text editor has all these features. Except the tabs, which are not available by default on vim and emacs, but I think KDE's kate (?) and Gnome's gedit might have tabs by default, maybe. All the cool kids use vim or emacs though.
4: Haven't tried but arch wiki says XBox One controllers work by default over USB. I will say that I have seen games not recognizing my (not XBox One) controllers sometimes when not running through steam, but in general the controller situation seems good on Linux.
5: mpv is perfect as it is
7: I know you said GUI but that's a shell one-liner if I've ever seen one.
8: Yes there are Windows-key shortcuts (often called "Super" key on Linux) available for window management. The exact shortcuts depend on the window managers / desktop environment and are usually configurable.
9: Yes most anything works on any distro. For best results though, stick to mainstream distros and don't be fooled by "trendy" distros. Those are not necessarily mainstream, even if you think they are based on what teenagers spam on reddit. If it doesn't have at least a 10 year track record, it's probably a fluke and won't be supported in two years.
Nvidia: Just google whatever your distro + Nvidia, look for the official wiki or whatever, and follow the instructions. It shouldn't be that hard on any distro. Never install the nvidia driver through nvidia's website, that won't work out well. The nvidia driver is system/kernel level software, you cannot install it in a way that isn't specific to your distro without breaking something.
I personally do not like KDE, but you seem like someone who should go with KDE, which has lots GUI knobs and twists, which should suit your tastes. Windows power users tend to love that shit.
Also, for god's sake, try to learn some shell commands, I swear it'll make your switch easier.
Personally, my favoritism distribution is Debian, I would recommend it. RTFM though.
