    How does burning a car improve anything? By what logic does not burning a car equal to “fucking over the next 15 generations”?
    Misdirected rage, even if it’s initially for a good reason, doesn’t help anything. If there’s a house on fire, you pour water on that house, not one two streets over. You do the latter, you end up with two destroyed houses: one burned, the other flooded.


  • Again, the state being a piece of shit, doesn’t mean everyone who lives and operates in that country automatically supports every single decision of the state.

    You know that Israel buys most of its weapons from the US, right? In other words, US actively supplies Israel with weapons knowing full well what Israel is using them for. Are you going to boycott all US companies too, now?

    If you want to hurt a state, you should get your country to stop doing business with that state - that is, natural resources and weapons trading, - not go after civilians and civilian businesses, which aren’t responsible for the already made decisions, nor hold any power to overturn them. (Since countries that are known for aggressive behavior aren’t known for being particularly democratic).

    Just because the company is an Israeli one, doesn’t necessary mean they interact with the Israeli government in any way other than paying taxes.
    Assuming ill intentions based on the country someone or something is from/based in is, pretty much, racism.
    Now, assuming ill intentions based on the fact that it’s yet another god damn adware company is perfectly justified.



  • Did you add a repo for RHEL8 to your Fedora install? Please, undo that.
    Please, don’t blindly follow instructions you find online, particularly when it comes down to installing something as important as drivers.
    Installing drivers from third party sources should be done only as the last resort and only if you know exactly what you’re doing.



  • What about “if the target audience is known to not speak it” part do you not understand?

    It’s one thing to have your little community in whatever language and post there.

    It’s another to show up in a very much international community and start posting in whatever random language you want. Or, worse, start replying to comments written in English using your language. Like this guy. Just… How do you even do that? Aren’t you supposed to kind of speak English to even understand the content of a comment you’re replying to? Why not respond using it, then?

    I’m not a native English speaker. My friends aren’t either. Yet we all use it for pretty much the same reason. And if you think you can just chime in, go “你的母亲是只仓鼠,你父亲满身接骨木的气味”, and be both perfectly understood and not downvoted, you’re either a troll or an idiot.


  • It makes sense to not use English if the target audience is known to not speak it, but it is often not the case.
    English is the most commonly spoken language in the world, after all. To not use it, is to make the content less searchable and harder to understand for billions of people.
    Over a billion of those people have learned it as their second language simply to understand and be understood by each other. Is it really that weird that those who can’t be bothered to do the same get downvoted?

    Offtopic, but why on earth would anyone use .rar? It’s a proprietary format. The reason there’s basically no software to create or modify .rar archives is due licensing, which makes it illegal to write software that can do it.

    Looking at the rarlab’s website, it appears that only the MacOS version has an ARM build. For Linux, only x86 and x64 are listed.

    So, either use MacOS, use emulation to run the x86/x64 version or break the law.
