Bro you gotta wait till the end it’s a total mindfuck

I am genuinely mystified at how you can call me a “privileged twat” for being a conscientious traveler and tourist, and expecting the same from others as a baseline - because again, when you are a tourist, you are a guest.

We are not talking about refugees here. We are talking about people who have enough cash to drop on a vacation to a foreign country, and then they go and shit in someone’s yard. That’s simply unacceptable - and, yes, uncivilized. This is not a controversial point to anyone, except you.

Common sense is that tourists don’t shit in yards without extreme circumstances forced upon them.

Lmfao do you even hear yourself? Where the fuck do you live? Common sense is you don’t shit in random people’s yards. Ever. Full stop. And I’m not endorsing violent response to that sort of thing, but if you were to try that in, say, San Antonio, TX, you’d get shot.

If you’re a guest in a country, don’t be a shithead.

If you and your countrymen are consistently shitheads to another specific country and their citizens when a guest in said specific country, they’re liable to start changing things to discourage you from coming in the first place, or even make rules to discourage you from visiting in the first place. You are a guest. Fucking act like it.

The sakura festival went of without a hitch for decades. This is a recent development that came with Chinese tourists beginning to go to the festival a lot more. When you are a tourist, the onus is on you to do some prep work and understand any preparations you should be making. Shitting in someone’s yard is indefensible; a reasonable preparation for the festival is “take a shit at your hotel before going to the festival”. I do not understand why you find this hard to parse.

It’s not prejudice. It’s common sense and actuarials.

Holy fuck, guy, it’s not racism against Chinese people. It’s frustration and irritation against tourists that behave heinously. Those tourists unfortunately happen to be predominantly Chinese. But if Americans or Russians or Brazilians or Indians were doing it, we’d all be having the same reaction. Stop borrowing outrage.

Even if that is true, how is “I will shit in this random residential yard” a reasonable solution to that?

Yeah I’m running 16s and that’s pushing it imo

Holy fuck can you imagine how long it would take to re-stripe a failed drive in a z2 array 😭

That’s… not the problem. And even if it was, the solution is absolutely not “I guess I’ll shit in that guy’s yard”. Go into a hotel lobby or coffee shop or bar or whatever, ask for the restroom (use your phone as a translator if you need to, because that’s a thing now), and do it there.

• I am not now and never have been a fan of Biden, for a litany of reasons. Not least of which: he lost the fucking republic and handed it to you.
• I’d call orangeboi a cunt, but he has neither the depth nor the warmth. Also he’s a psychopathic narcissistic racist pedophile.

I’m saying I want to make a difference by helping to break the hegemony the country I was born in has on the world. I dare say the only people who would call that a bad thing are specifically the sort of people I absolutely fucking detest in this place.

As a unitedstatesian engineer, reading stories about escaping the infuriating (and now, very obviously caustic and manipulative) US monopoly on tech infrastructure companies makes me want to move to the EU and help break the monopoly on that shit. There are other things that make me want to move too, but the opportunity to build some real alternatives that diminish US hegemony over… well, everything, is frankly more than a bit enticing.

x86: it’s easy peasy

arm: asahi is where you need to go, and the most recent chips are not really very well supported

As to the choice between gnome and KDE (desktop environments): Gnome is gonna have more of a ‘macOS’ vibe, while KDE is more of a ‘Windows’ vibe.

And that’s why you validate serverside, not clientside, kids

But also, sweet little utility!

How did they squander being the name in autonomous vacuum devices…? It’s kinda baffling tbh.

That, or TempleOS

I used Rufus to make Linus boot USBs for AGES
