Can we please keep the respectful ones so we have a chance to dispel their beliefs? There is overwhelming propaganda against Venezuela that is easy to disprove, but most of their spaces ban us (example: reddit). I wish we have a chance to argue our perspective.

Side question: are there any lemmy communities for political discussions (rather than just news links)?

North Korea, very unlikely. They’ve mastered guarding exactly against this thing.

Cuba is unfortunately more susceptible due to being an isolated island right off the coast of the US. Cuba is economically worse off, yet culturally still influenced by the US.

Iran has already lost the cultural war, and many people fell for the outside propaganda. Moreover, Iran is suffering its worst economic state. The country is barely standing at the moment. So this one is likely as well.

P.S. this is all, speculation, no one can predict for sure.

First of all, I would ask them if they’re familiar with the boycott and the reasons why it is happening. If they are, ask them them if they have a reason not to participate. Based on that, and how serious the cause behind the boycott is, I would judge.

My journal is electronic (offline) and I have been doing it for 10 years or so.

Typically Arabs would be very impressed to see you even try to speak Arabic. I have never seen someone make fun of a foreigner for their accent. It’s also quite rare for a foreigner to speak without accent.

Anyone looking for the best package manager needs to look only at portage/emerge and nix

I tried LFS one time, and accidentally ran one or more of the commands on my host machine, rendering it unusable

Deleting the bottles directories from the repos directory seems to fix it, thanks for the advice!

Update: Following your advice, I proceeded to delete the files for “bottles” from the repo folder in /var/lib/… and that seems to solve the issue! thanks for the help! :)

thanks for the tip about storage space, although I do seem to have 100 GB of free space so I do not think this is the issue?

However I noticed I have a filesystem /run/user/1000 it seems to be created by flatpak, and it has 1.6 GB of total space. Should this be a source of worry?

The other advice about deleting the directories does not seem to work either :(

what do screen recording softwares for wayland use under the hood then?

does OBS just do everything with ffmpeg, or does it introduce extra functionality?

You can do it for xmpp and Jitsi right?

So there is no way with Rsync (under ssh) to set settings (config file or other) that will apply to all clients !!??
So it’s the client that configure rsync and the server !? there is no way around ?!

You basically want to use the daemon but under ssh. I looked into this before, and I think it is possible but the command for it is weird and confusing. Wish I remembered it, but just commenting to say that I vaguely remember there’s a way (or maybe I’m hallucinating).

The world in general doesn’t treat women as human. Your conclusion is treating Afghanistan as if it’s unique in that, when it isn’t.

Unfortunately the US doesn’t “lose money” on military conquests. Military spending is a central pillar of US economy. The more of it there is, the better for them. It is why they push for eternal war, and no it’s not because of oil, that is secondary.

Unfortunately bspwm is better. Binary separation allowed for just about any layout imaginable, but river does not.

Are you contesting that it’s “Forced”? It matches the textbook definition of the word

Deciding Linux isn’t for you is one thing. Even deciding that you hate Linux is… Digestible. But what kind of internal self esteem and validation issues do you need to unironically participate in a community called “Linux sucks”?

Hating Linux is one thing. Putting in extra effort to justify to everyone that Linux is hate-able is a different kind of crazy.
