On the subject of arch and AUR I managed to get into dependency hell a couple times because of AUR packages and my own inexperience

Holy cow, I really thought it was, that's pretty cool actually

The commercial blockade of US states that any product with even a small percentage (there is a minimal required number which I don't remember) of anything produced in the US, even if that thing is the technology for building the thing, cannot be traded with Cuba or DRPK and I'm not sure if the Venezuelans one is still up

By what it seems they put it there more as a way to reduce liability, in case the US comes a looking, because it does not describe any tools or measures to prevent it, in fact it even states that it is not geoblocked anywhere

PS: forgive my ignorance, I thought that any fedora based distro, would be considered downstream of Fedora if that's not the case what would be the actual definition of downstream? Honestly asking here, just wanna understand better

Didn't find it before

Oh I sure I could but I like suse a bit and if it is not true that it blocks distribution I wouldnt reconsider using it, and would still feel alright recommending it when it suits the needs of the person in question, but the lack of an equivalent legal page on suse's site, left me unsure of where to look for that information

Sure but I do enjoy the idea of rolling release and I don't want to handle the potential conflicts from AUR with native repositories, I also like yast, and I feel a little annoyed with the implication of your comment, unless I'm mistaken, in which case I apologize, it seems that you're implying that my choice of open suse is poorly thought through therefore I should consider changing.

Based

I'm pretty sure Brazil either did not make a stance about it or should be yellow, cause it didn't pick a side even in the Ukrainian war, I couldn't see it picking up a firm position right now

So, just to see I understood correctly, in your analysis the book is moslty solid with maybe an overzealous defense of Stalin in a few points, and the text I found does bring up said overzealousness but it engages in some pointless hair splitting that sounds a lot like angry padding, is it?

I kinda mean capitalism or the systems it creates to shape ideas and society, my focus was on the fact that the issue is much bigger then the people around our comrade rather than making an accurate analysis of the actual responsibles are for the fenomenon

I'll try to be as concise as I can, no promises though.

So in the first hand your anger is actually to the engines of the system, the way your friends think is consequence of said system, to think that their way of thinking is cruel is to put on their hands a lot of the syatem's blame. Because thinking like us is hard causes some isolation, sadness frustration, so even people who kinda stumble with this way of thinking are highly disincentivised of engaging with it, and conforming to the social norm is so freaking comforting, that is no wonder that they prefer that.

So secondly I'd say that if you have friends that don't hate you for being a communist, that's already a lot, and you need friends and personal connections and not everything should be about furthering the revolution sometimes having fun about dumb shit is not just nice, but actually necessary, so I'd recommend to focus on the common ground you have with your friends, enjoy their company and if and when one of them expresses sincere curiosity and/or interest in what you believe you talk things over and show why you don't like this and like that, but be very aware that they will most likely then not take a lot of misinformation as fact about communism and capitalism, so sometimes making a single tiny point and showing, kindly, all the reasons you believe in it (contesting the misinformation and mentioning your sources, Dessalines is your friend here) might be better than covering a large range of subjects, of which most of them they'll have reasons to distrust it because of misinformation.

So about being concise, not that sucessful, but I hope I helped.
