I mean, I’m being facetious, it’s obviously shitty that people are being fed into a meat grinder, but from where I’m sitting it seems like Ukraine is being used as a fertile market for armements and whoever makes up the bunch I charge of Russia’s nukes are using them as an attempt to stop interference in their efforts to annexe a neighbour.

What’s the chapo traphouse/ML take on this?

Is the correct narrative that poor old Russia is being pushed to use nukes by NATO operations which are attempting to stop the annexation of Ukraine?

Not really - there’s plenty of use cases where running memory intensive stuff like that isn’t an issue and running a small footprint distro makes more sense than, say, a maximalist, fully featured desktop distro.

I’m not trying to run a media centre or play games on my 11 year old MacBook!

I mean, they just want to sell missiles and make that moolah. It’s the man in Moscow who keeps threatening nuclear winter…

Point taken!

I don’t think the lite distros are to blame for performance drops in that case, are they? Unless it’s down to a lack of system optimisation.

Fair enough!

I’ve done some blindingly stupid things with my installs in the past, and I’m not angling to try any in the near future - I guess I’ll just embrace the reinstallation game!

“Accidentally threw it away” really sounds more like “threw it away, didn’t have a backup, he now regrets throwing it away”.

Dread to think what his solicitor is making by allowing this delusion to continue (unless he’s representing himself in which case…fair enough I suppose). I’ve been reading about this man for years it seems like.

That’s a blast from the past! I used to run #! On my 701…

So if there’s additional repositories does that mean that there is likely to be core functionality which would be broken if it stops being maintained?

He’s an ex oil exec isn’t he? Amorality (at best) shouldn’t be a surprise at this point.

By what logic? Unless you think that participating in the electoral process at all makes you complicit in the outcome whatever it is this doesn’t really tally.
