It's difficult to take people shitting on arch in here seriously. I'll take 1h per year fixing whatever broke over a whole weekend upgrading Debian.
Oh and god forbid you need to compile yourself a package and maybe a few of its dependencies from scratch because that 6 years old bug didn't make it through the freeze last release.
Lots of people shilling for Big Oil in this comment section
but through businesses taking loans.
... Also called "printing money".
The classic inflation from the economy working a little too well is not a flat tax, since both wages and prices are growing
Inflation doesn't cause wages to grow proportionally, despite what some Harvard wankers like to pretend. Theoretical models are interesting in science, but for something like economy, they are completely useless.
Classic inflation erodes the savings of the rich, and erodes the debts of the poor.
Capital ROI is almost always greater than inflation, meaning wealth inequality increases regardless of inflation. This is before taking into account that physical assets (e.g. housing) also increase in value through inflation, meaning the owning class never loses money to inflation.
Again, theory and practice diverge pretty much entirely.
Inflation is a concept created by governments to be able to run on a perpetual deficit (necessary when you privatise everything profitable by selling it to your buddies). Making a tax on the poor is a "nice" benefit, but don't be mistaken: if the owning class saw it as a threat to their wealth we'd be back to the gold standard already.
There are more varieties of accents inside London than across the entire US. You understood their point, no need to be pedantic.
Plenty of non Chinese brands are on the EV train now.
I can buy an Alpine that it is, in every conceivable way, better than the cheapest VW EV (while being a bit cheaper, or the same price). How is this not a problem with German manufacturers specifically?
And why is it so hot, I wonder
The day Germany gets the Internet I'm sure we'll be served as well, but in the meantime French / Belgium / NL already have this.
I'm noticing cars are not part of the list, despite being smartphones on wheels
As often, it's more of a liability thing than anything else.
SQL, the new LLM frontend
Swapping two tabs in an SPA, how fucking unethical
AUR is not the official distro. Complaining about arch because of the AUR is like complaining about Debian because you npm install some malware
