#Zionists are begging for mercy to stop the war immediately, cause they have been neutralized, and yet the Zionist media continue to sell propaganda at home and abroad and threaten #Iran with retaliation and annihilation.
Stupid readers who blindly believe anything are the source of thousands of evils.
@RobMBlind exactly "let the Zionists complete the genocide without being bothered by Iranian attacks", is also what all those who demanded an unconditional end to the war are essentially asking for

I have used linux in a past job (I did not set it up), so im not a total noob with linux. But I am far from an expert. I bought a tablet that had a flavor of linux on it and found myself woefully unprepared trying to navigate the tablet. I was planning to use it for DnD for pdf reading, but it apparently wasn't capable of that bcz it was a rather custom OS. With windows 10 support being dropped by Microsoft in the next few months, I want to transition my desktop to Linux, and I thought I'd get a headstart on that. I have a windows 11 laptop (and I hate it), but im kinda stuck with it for now. So, in the spirit of I am a noob who isn't quite a noob, what do ya'll recommend? p.s. I used Ubuntu for a bit way way back in high school
Edit: I do game dev with Unreal. Another user pointed out that may affect my choice of distro
Desktop environment will be the most impactful for you. I recommend picking a distro with KDE Plasma, which will feel like the best version of Windows you’ve never seen before.
If you are almost exclusively gaming and don’t want to fiddle much, Bazzite.
If you like to fiddle: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Fedora. If you want more Ubuntu compatibility, Kubuntu.
There are lots of options and it’s hard to go wrong. Bazzite is special in that the system is immutable, so everything needs to be run as a container.
What's the point of a linux community if you cant ask these kinds of questions? A pinned post like that would get stale over time. You are free to just keep scrolling. You also didn't answer the question...so you contributed nothing except to complain about my post.
First up, I presume you searched for other posts like this one? If not, a pinned post might've made that easier for you to get started (ie Mint)
Second, the pinned post doesn't become a final answer, it's a starting point to add to the discussion, (ie you tried Mint, but didn't like X, Y & Z)
From my pov there are a lot of posts asking this same question and this was simply a reflection on how we could improve the community... and your experience.
If you are familiar with Ubuntu still I recommend you fallback to that or if you hate canonical and telemetry then use mint. Honestly bro it depends on what you wanna use it for.
Generally:
Noobs -> popos, Ubuntu, mint, Devs -> fedora, Ubuntu (ease of access), debian Power users -> Arch, Nix, tails, (a bunch of other distros ig since any distro can be used in a powerful way tbh) Neckbeard -> Gentoo, LFS (not really a distro tho but amazing for learning)
But seriously speaking it's your choice bud. All Linux distros work amazing and are all the same to the kernel. You can always install multiple distros on an ext. SSD if you can't decide.
Debian is not as easy as Ubuntu to set up, but much easier than in the past. And once set up, it's rock solid and has long term security updates, so if one can get a little help with the installation, I'd recommend it even to novice users.
And Arch is fantastic if somebody wants to learn more about Linux, because of its fantastic wiki.
I'm a noob myself and have found Kubuntu the best experience so far, although my laptop is a bit niche so a lot of the other distros didn't work correctly.
I think the usual consensus is Linux Mint (and its a solid distro) but I think the best advice is not to be afraid of trying different ones and finding out what works best for you.
Francis Parker Yockey (September 18, 1917 – June 16, 1960) was an American philosopher and polemicist best known for his neo-Spenglerian book Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics, published under the pen name Ulick Varange in 1948.
He was born in Chicago, Illinois and had family ties to Michigan. His parents were anglophiles who raised him to appreciate European high culture. Subsequently, Yockey was introduced to classical music through his mother, who studied at the Chicago Musical College. He proved to have a prodigious talent for the piano and developed his repertoire to include Liszt, Beethoven, Chopin, and Haydn.

You should not be charged for normal wearandtear, and let's not forget this is the same Company that has reported cars stolen that people have returned, have pressed charges and have gotten their own customers arrested, and have attempted to charge full tanks of gas to customers that rented a Tesla.
Seriously. Avoid Hertz like the mother-fucking-plague.
It's literally cheaper to take Uber or Lyft with all the bullshit Hertz likes to pull.
One customer was charged $440 for a scuff on his rental's wheel. But talking to a human employee about it wasn't easy, and he was encouraged to pay ASAP.

The United States has reportedly removed nearly 40 military aircraft from Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar between June 5 and June 19, according to satellite imagery.
This is among the most significant drawdowns at the base, which is the largest US military installation in the Middle East
Al Udeid Air Base, located southwest of Doha near Al‑Rayyan, is the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East and a major strategic hub for regional operations
Al Udeid in Qatar is the most important US base in West Asia. #IRGC hit it with 6 missiles - proportional to the alleged 6 hits on #Fordow. Psy war. Everyone and his neighbor is running for cover. This is a strike above all on the myth of #US deterrence. A strike not on #Qatar but on american-occupied Qatari land. The #GCC will draw the necessary conclusions: Trump imposed this on us.

@steverocky lol You chose the wrong person The term "ghost fleet" is used by morons in Brussels and London for ships that are not registered and insured in the City.
If Brits weren't so stupidly arrogant, they would know that for many years there have been other companies in other cities with registrations and insurance.
One of the main ones is Hong Kong, which - look at the coincidence - is an allied country and Tehran can easily have all the certificates it needs. cheers
@steverocky I expected you wouldn't have anything clever to say. So next time you want to say something "genius" about ghost fleets and Hormuz, make sure you don't say it to a Greek captain.
@steverocky I just explained to you that the term "ghost-ships" and "ghost-fleet" are inappropriate and are used stupidly by fools, and yet you continue to use it. What should I assume?

Du pur Orwell : l’Europe condamne l’Iran pour des attaques sur son propre territoire
Dans une pure manifestation d’hypocrisie à l’égard d’Israël, les élites de l’UE exposent une fois de plus le cadavre en décomposition de ce que l’on appelle « l’ordre fondé sur des règles ».
Source : Responsible Statecraft, Eldar Mamedov
Lorsque des avions de guerre israéliens ont frappé l’Iran cette semaine, violant ainsi la souveraineté iranienne dans un acte d’agression éhonté, tuant des dizaines de civils ainsi que des commandants militaires de haut rang et des scientifiques dans le domaine nucléaire tout en incitant l’Iran à riposter par des frappes tout aussi aveugles, les dirigeants européens n’ont pas condamné l’attaque.
Ils l’ont perversement approuvée et ont condamné l’Iran pour les attaques que celui-ci a subi sur son propre territoire.
Le président français Emmanuel Macron a donné le ton en condamnant le « programme nucléaire en cours » de l’Iran et en réaffirmant « le droit d’Israël à se défendre et à assurer sa sécurité ». Il semble que la présidente de la Commission européenne, Ursula von der Leyen, se soit exprimée dans la même veine en « réitérant le droit d’Israël à se défendre », agrémentant son propos de quelques platitudes génériques quant à la nécessité de la retenue et de la désescalade.
Le ministère allemand des affaires étrangères est allé plus loin en « condamnant fermement » l’Iran pour « une attaque inconsidérée du territoire israélien », avant même que Téhéran ne lance ses missiles en réponse à l’attaque d’Israël, tout en approuvant pleinement les actions d’Israël.
Cette rhétorique orwellienne ne traduit pas seulement de l’incompétence ou de l’ignorance. C’est le couronnement d’années de maladresses diplomatiques européennes qui ont contribué à fabriquer cette crise, et qui ont montré que « l’ordre fondé sur des règles » n’était plus qu’un cadavre. Le double langage de l’Europe a tué sa crédibilité.
Dans sa position sur l’Ukraine, l’Europe a invoqué l’article 2, paragraphe 4, de la Charte des Nations unies avec une grande clarté politique : « Tous les Membres doivent s’abstenir de recourir à la menace ou à l’emploi de la force contre l’intégrité territoriale de tout État ». Et pourtant, lorsqu’Israël a attaqué l’Iran, sans aucune base juridique en matière de légitime défense, l’Europe a de facto qualifié l’agression de morale, et l’a tolérée.
L’effondrement moral et diplomatique de l’Europe n’est pas passé inaperçu. Deux voix respectées dans le monde entier ont prononcé des verdicts particulièrement accablants. Mohamed ElBaradei, lauréat du prix Nobel et ancien chef de l’organisme de surveillance de l’énergie atomique de l’ONU, a offert au ministère allemand des affaires étrangères un humiliant cours accéléré de droit international.
Réagissant à l’approbation par Berlin des « frappes ciblées d’Israël contre les installations nucléaires iraniennes » (peu importe les centaines de civils tués lors de ces frappes), El Baradei a rappelé que de telles frappes sont interdites par les conventions de Genève dont l’Allemagne est signataire, et que le recours à la force dans les relations internationales « est en règle générale interdit par la Charte des Nations unies, à l’exception du droit de légitime défense en cas d’attaque armée ou sur autorisation du Conseil de sécurité dans le cas d’une action de sécurité collective ».
De son côté, Francesca Albanese, rapporteure spéciale de l’ONU pour les territoires palestiniens occupés, a réagi à la déclaration de Macron en commentant que « le jour où Israël, sans avoir été provoqué, a attaqué l’Iran, le président d’une grande puissance européenne a enfin admis qu’au Moyen-Orient, Israël, et seul Israël, a le droit de se défendre. »
Le message de gens comme El Baradei et Albanese est sans équivoque : lorsque l’Europe applaudit les frappes israéliennes tout en condamnant l’invasion russe, elle ne défend pas des règles universelles, mais son identité tribale : Les « règles » ne s’appliquent qu’aux adversaires, pas aux amis. C’est un coup mortel porté à la prétendue autorité morale de l’Europe, les pays du Sud global l’ont bien remarqué, mais de nombreux citoyens européens également.
Cette prétention semble d’autant plus détachée de la réalité que la crise au Moyen-Orient a éclaté sur un terrain fertile préparé par des échecs européens en série. Il y a d’abord eu l’échec des E3 (Grande-Bretagne, France, Allemagne) à maintenir le JCPOA après le retrait des États-Unis sous la présidence de Donald Trump en 2018. Bien que l’UE ait offert un soutien rhétorique à l’accord nucléaire, elle s’est pliée aux sanctions américaines et a refusé de protéger les entreprises européennes désireuses de s’engager avec l’Iran. Elle a laissé mourir le JCPOA, créant de facto un vide propice à l’escalade.
De plus, alors que des médiateurs tels que le sultanat d’Oman et le Qatar ont négocié un nouvel accord nucléaire entre les États-Unis et l’Iran, l’UE a fait pression en faveur d’une résolution de l’AIEA censurant l’Iran peu de temps avant la frappe israélienne, torpillant ainsi la désescalade et contribuant à créer un environnement encore plus dangereux, avec en arrière-plan le retour des sanctions du Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU et le retrait potentiel de l’Iran du traité de non-prolifération (TNP).
Chacun de ces échecs a conforté Téhéran dans l’idée qu’il était vain de négocier avec l’Europe. Les E3 de l’UE sont désormais perçus non seulement comme des partenaires faibles incapables de respecter leurs propres engagements dans le cadre de l’accord nucléaire, mais aussi comme des acteurs résolument destructeurs qui sapent la sécurité de l’Iran et la stabilité régionale.
Le rejet catégorique par le ministre iranien des affaires étrangères, Abbas Araghchi, des appels à la désescalade lancés par son homologue britannique, David Lammy, a illustré de manière frappante la descente stupéfiante des puissances européennes dans l’insignifiance diplomatique. En effet, il est difficile d’imaginer pourquoi Téhéran devrait tenir compte de ces appels lorsqu’ils émanent de parties qu’il considère comme étant activement de connivence avec les agresseurs.
Cet auto-sabotage diplomatique de l’Europe aura probablement pour conséquence d’anéantir le peu de confiance résiduelle dont elle disposait encore en Iran et dans l’ensemble de l’hémisphère Sud. La prolifération est maintenant quasiment garantie, puisque cela donne aux Iraniens, et plus seulement aux partisans de la ligne dure, une puissante incitation à chercher à se doter d’armes nucléaires, un résultat qui aurait pu être évité si l’Europe s’était engagée dans des discussions sérieuses et de bonne foi avec l’Iran pour relancer l’accord sur le nucléaire. Le retrait de l’Iran du TNP est désormais une éventualité qui n’est plus seulement théorique.
Tous ces éléments augmentent considérablement la probabilité d’un retour de bâton au détriment des intérêts européens : une guerre régionale au Moyen-Orient signifie davantage de migrations incontrôlées, des risques accrus de terrorisme sur le sol européen ou contre les intérêts européens dans la région, et des chocs énergétiques si l’Iran met à exécution ses menaces de bloquer le détroit d’Ormuz, la principale artère de commerce du pétrole dans le monde.
En l’absence d’un changement de cap urgent mais improbable, tel que demander des comptes à Israël pour son agression régionale, la décadence de l’Europe s’accélérera. Lorsque Bruxelles exempte ses alliés des règles imposées à ses rivaux, elle ne préserve pas la paix : elle signe sa propre lettre de suicide géopolitique.

Starmer is determined to advance UK police state to protect Israel. A few parliamentarians object Yvette Cooper has confirmed the government intends to declare anti-genocide group Palestine Action …
I wonder if they can list all the terrorist attacks and bomb threats carried out by their organisation which would justify their classification as a terrorist group?
As the government designates Palestine Action a 'terrorist' group, Jeremy Corbyn argues that MPs wouldn’t be here without the right to protest – and that this authoritarian crackdown must end now

My friends and I are hosting a Linux and FOSS group chat to have some casual chat, help, and anything related to the topic really. We chose this platform to chat on to keep a privacy preserving way to engage with one another.
Alright. Haha, I filter out Big Tech and far-right shit on Mastodon 😛 It's probably because of that. And if some far-right person starts to chat/talk to me, I often ignore him/her.
I really have no idea why everyone is bashing Signal so much here. None of the concerns listed seem even slightly technical.
The only problem I have with signal is that it is:
A. Centralized (which isn't explicitly a privacy concern, but a control concern in-line with linux and foss)
B. Requires a phone number to register.
It is quite private in spite of that, and goes to great lengths to achieve that privacy. It is what I see people in the security community consistently suggest.
However, if this is a public group, are we to really be that concerned about many of the considerations Signal tries to tackle? Worst case scenario a bad actor simply enters the chat and backs everything up.
It seems like our threat model is moreso in the way of general surveillance economy concerns (and perhaps to have a slightly less public entry).
In this case, point A and B become even more glaring! Why not something like an E2E encrypted Matrix chat?
