Because the AUR is a pretty low quality repo. Not sure if anything has changed since 2 years ago, but last I used arch, the AUR was full of broken, abandoned, and unbuildable packages. The Debian repos, fedora+rpmfusion, etc, provide a comparable number of software packages with substantially higher quality, hence no need for the AUR. Fedora actually has COPRs which suffer from the same quality issues as the AUR for similar reasons.

Obviously you can use whatever you want for outdoor temperature measurement or whatnot, but I think the US should switch to metric for anything of any importance. It's incredibly annoying when your PCB dimensions, your 3d printer, your fasteners, etc, are in millimeters, while your laser cutter is in inches. It introduces a cause of issues and undoubtedly is a headache for foreign entities trying to work with American industry.

I'm somewhat undecided here, because ultimately I don't care for federated services to become dominant at all costs, nor do I care if they shrink slightly. I want the users of these services to voluntarily choose them based on the principles that federated social media stands for right now. My personal opinion right now is let them federate, but defederate the minute the "extend" starts. But we'll see.

The thing is the American revolution wasn't about taxation itself. The taxation without representation bit was more of a minor component over how society should be organized. The question was whether the inherited aristocratic titles or ownership of land(later means of production) determined your social power. There's nothing about the ideology of the American revolution that is about the levying of taxes, it is about who gets to collect them.

With the soviets, the problems and successes are significantly more nuanced than "Stalin was bad dictator"(although that is a true statement). Which on one hand makes a lot of western criticism of the USSR questionably true, but also makes the actual issues(which there were) harder to address because they happened not because of one guy being bad.

Perhaps my opinions are different from others but I feel like these websites are forgetting that they're an optional part of people's lives. There are plenty of things I can spend my time on besides reddit and YouTube, and Netflix is forgetting that it's marginally more convenient than piracy.

I think that people who download rebuilds are by and large not going to pay for licenses. The hobbyists running a rebuild for their home lab will move to another distro. Massive legacy enterprises will use unsupported distros until it becomes untenable, and are very likely to move to another distro. Hyperscalers like oracle and Amazon will either figure out loopholes and/or eventually move new products to be based on another distro. Red hat's contributions to FOSS and being both technically and politically stable led to many technologies being built around red hat. But the only reason that this ecosystem exists is because of Red Hat's reputation of stability and openness, which they have slowly destroyed over the past few years. And I do think that this will eventually lead to lost revenue.

What Trump views do you agree with?

A lot of things that US courts have recently done(this included) is making making me wonder about how judicial review should work. Because what I keep seeing is that US courts will strike down shitty band aid solutions(which AA was, it was an attempt at a quick and easy solution for a very long list of social issues) without offering better alternatives. I do think that affirmative action should not have to exist, but the better choice is full scale education reform, addressing systemic racism, an understanding of how privilege affects educational outcomes, and greater availability and lower cost of the highest quality tertiary education. As it is today I am observing courts not choosing perfect over good, but rather destroying half baked solutions because they oppose the intended outcomes of those solutions.

The thing is in a country where cops regularly kill black people for no reason, race is unfortunately a major source of diversity. Discrimination creates division, not the other way around.

It definitely is upper middle income and I'm not trying to imply otherwise. It's just crazy to me that millionaires are so much closer to the average American than billionaires and corporations as far as income goes.

It would be absolutely horrible if when the site inevitably becomes even more poorly moderated and overrun by neo-nazi adjacent content, if we were to collect some evidence of this and tragically send it directly to a few media outlets. It would be so horrible if those outlets then covered reddit like they cover Voat and 4chan now. A true tragedy it would be if reddit lost 80% of its advertisers overnight due to this.

Millionaires are definitely still well off but just to make a point: the average value of a US house is $450k. Add to this a $250k retirement fund and you're already up to 0.7M in net worth.
