Lol my friends joke Lockheed Martin uses Windows for the F-35 software

In theory yes since they’re essentially sponsored by RedHat. (RedHat is owned by IBM)

Which is funny because the Snowden leaks actually showed the NSA likes using Fedora for their fancy spy tech lol.

I guess a good alternative would be OpenSUSE.

Saying this like IWT wasn’t already a barely functioning agreement that was actually enforced lol.

Pakistan has a great airforce but their COAS would sign a surrender so fast it’s not even funny.

It is hilarious seeing the difference in Pakistani public reaction online compared to 2019 when they shot down and captured an IAF pilot. Went from national patriotism to no one caring anymore and making memes about the possible outcomes.

IWT has also been pretty rocky in implementation and has a history of being abused. India can’t permanently cut off the water because it would cause flooding on their side, and notably the Indus River also runs through China first which could make it tricky.

I’m all for another PAF v IAF skirmish, but Pakistan really needs its democratically elected civilian government back.

Ubuntu, and the experience was crap lol.

Then I got to try Debian on a server and it was much nicer.

Then I saw Torvalds uses Fedora, and given that he also disliked Debian and Ubuntu for their lack of end user ease, I switched and have been happy ever since.

Seriously though, GNOME 40 really should not be the default DE. It made me think Linux UI was years behind Windows when it was actually the opposite with proven DEs like XFCE, KDE, and GNOME 3/2 etc.

Criticism of one of the worst democratic party campaigns is clearly the mark of a tankie.

There’s just no way telling your constituency and voter base to “fuck off” would have any kind of negative consequence on the election.

It’s just simply impossible. We clearly lost because the tankies from .ml ran a nationwide psyop that lead to losing every single swing state.

This is cool but I also want to take this opportunity to point out SUPARCO started as a prestigious NASA partner that eventually devolved into yet another army staffed office whose only purpose is to collect a paycheck and inhibit any actual growth.

ie they could easily just choose literally anyone to be the astronaut since Pakistan axed it’s space program decades ago.

At this rate I fully expect the democrats to fumble the midterm elections which should be literally the easiest campaign in decades.

Same boat as many Gapps like Google Maps. No large market competitor to show users how much better it can be.

Actually I did use to watch it quite often.

My point was not that it dropped in quality, it’s just that it became slow to keep up with ongoing events with details and information readily available via basic OSINT on primary sources or even regular quality news outlets.

Ex: https://youtu.be/dRRJmOTCqqQ

Pretty much everything presented in this report was already well known and available for months, making the the rest essentially a PR moneyshot for the US Navy.

I still watch it occasionally for its direct interviews with select people, but it’s still a legacy production that struggles to keep up with info you can get even from AP or Reuters.

Mind you it’s still miles better than flaming trash like Washington Post or NYT, but I could easily see CBS axeing it years ago.

I mean tbf people have been calling 60 minutes a legacy production of the bygone era of quality journalism for years now.

Compiz, Wayfire, and KWin all outshine both Windows and MacOS in quality and render performance.

The amount of visual magic in Compiz and Wayfire especially is both incredibly useful but also hilarious.

3D desktop cube is a great way to handle multiple desktops, but rotating your windows to any angle is just to show off to your friends lol.

I swear the only 3 countries I’ve heard scream about being secular are France, Israel, and India, all of which are exactly the opposite because the government is exclusively following a religious doctrine and cracking down on minorities as well as anyone not a part of that national religion.

Probably will get some groans but World of Warships is actually modeled very nicely. And yeah its a free to play monetized game, but it is miles ahead of war thunder in terms of actually having fun and playing the game at high FPS and great quality even with a potato computer.

The engine has some cool tricks that really makes it shine with water spraying and sloshing onto your vessel.

Hey now that’s an unfair comparison to freight trains. Just because the Amtrak never showed up doesn’t mean you can’t find a photo of it.

Yeah I remember the SCOTUS bong hits for jesus case where our failure of a chief justice asserted that students (and anyone not staff) do not get the protections of the constitution while in public school, a federally funded and owned system, because of the ol “screw you, that’s why” explanation of overturning an already established precedent because “muh drugs bad”.

Also from the original case that the above case decided to ignore:

The substantial disruption test is a criterion set forth by the United States Supreme Court, in the leading case of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503 (1969).[1] The test is used to determine whether an act by a U.S. public school official (State actor) has abridged a student’s constitutionally protected First Amendment rights of free speech.

The test, as set forth in the Tinker opinion, asks the question: Did the speech or expression of the student “materially and substantially interfere with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school,” or might it “reasonably have led school authorities to forecast substantial disruption of or material interference with school activities?” The case holds that to justify suppression of speech, school officials would need to show that the conduct in question would “materially and substantially interfere” with the operation of the school.

Can’t wait for Roberts to use this case to undo the same FA protections for students bruh

I think this all but confirms HTS is just another uncle sam project with some help from Turkey, meaning they will likely do jack all to Israel on their border and also likely end up the same as Iraq.

Xfce 4.20

On my way to attempt an upgrade from Xfce + Compiz to Xfce + Wayfire lol

China watching the Houthis fail to hit a single ship with a 30 missile salvo:

Even with supersonic anti ship missiles, successfully attacking the US navy is notoriously difficult, to the point that they’ve actually averted invading Taiwan unless some golden opportunity falls into their lap.
