You realise that if that were to be "fixed", you wouldn't end up paying the low price, Brazil would end up paying the high price? One they can't afford because they make as much in a month as you do in a week, or worse.

Aur and pacman are 90% of why I use arch.

Also fyi to OP: never install software system-wide without your package manager. No sudo make install, no curl .. | sudo bash or whatever the readme calls for. Not because it's unsafe, but because eventually you're likely to end up with a broken system, and then you'll blame your distro for it, or just Linux in general.

My desktop install is about a decade old now, and never broke because I only ever use the package manager.

Of course in your home folder anything goes.

At least it's symmetrical so it won't rock, unlike every other phone out there now, including the one I'm typing on.

You say that as if solving grid storage wasn't one of the most important problems humanity faces right now.

It's easy to understand them when you realise that their entire ideology starts at "anything the US does or says is bad" and continues from there.

• The US supports Taiwan and is against China? China good, Taiwan bad.
• The US supports Ukraine and is against Russia? Russia good, Ukraine bad.
• Israel, Palestine, same thing
• Bosnian and Rwandan genocide happened? Well the US says so, therefore they didn't.
• NATO bombed Serbia over their attempted genocide in Kosovo. NATO is the US, so Serbia didn't do anything wrong, but Kosovo is bad.
• And so on, and so on...

Once you look at it through that lens, even their most wild takes suddenly become very consistent.

People like to interpret things with a modern lense. The translation of his job title might be carpenter, and people then go "ok, what does a carpenter do nowadays - builds chairs and tables, right". But the word being translated is more aking to "builder", a construction carpenter, a mason, something along those lines.

I really like gnome the software, but I've started considering moving away from it after a decade simply because of how toxic and difficult gnome the project can be.

It's an American obsession.

But now you're stuck in the woods with a libertarian. You're worse off than before.

It actually seems common for less developed countries to have better internet than the more developed ones. Germans always complain about their internet, for example. I believe the reason is simply that your country laid down lines relatively recently, so they're compatible with high speed internet, while Germany laid down their lines 30 years ago, so they're fairly shitty in comparison. It tends to be a lot harder to convince governments or bosses to replace something that seems to work fine, and it can be costlier too.

Come on now, give him some credit. He waited a whole few days before completely going back on his words.
