I do think the same too, I have a Proton subscription (non-business), my "Lumo Product Updates" is toggled OFF and I've never received a single Lumo email so far.

In addition to the other comments pointing out how your "Americans invented microprocessors" is wrong,

> [Americans] landed on the moon without a federal Department of Education

maybe you should check what the budget for NASA was during the space race and what it is now, considering also the news from 3 days ago about further budget cuts to the Agency.

I’m not wrong. It’s called Silicon Valley for a reason

Since the DoE was established, education has only declined versus the rest of the world. America spends more money for less.

I'm only addressing the Pacman complaints because I genuinely don't understand them

> It uses pacman from ArchLinux, which is easily the worst package manager ever invented. Quick, how do you search for a package that you've installed? Oh? What's that, did you just have to google for one of the weird single letter options? I rest my case.

Rest your case? Is that the only argument? The fact that if someone can't remember specific flags that they rarely use makes a cli program the "worst" is stupid. By the same logic since I don't know how to search for installed packages with apt (it's been years since I used a debian based distro), is it fair for me to say apt is the worst package manager ever invented?

> If you don't think these things happen, you haven't use pacman for long enough.

How long is long enough? I've been using Arch (btw) daily for more than 10 years, maybe close to 15, on my personal PC and I've been using MSYS2 on my work laptop for more than 1 year. Never encountered Pacman-related issues...

I was going to comment a similar sentiment regarding pacman. Having played with a few distros before swapping from Windows to Arch full time last year, pacman was trivially similar to other package managers.

Not to mention pacman is way faster than the others. dnf is close but apt is unbearably slow once you've used pacman

> The healthcare that forces people to pay money to non functioning system based on their income is socialist.

Non functioning? All EU countries with public healthcare score better than the US in the healthcare rankings (and life expectancy), by a good measure. And some of them are the best in the world. This [1] is just one source, you can find multiple ones with the same conclusion.

Norway has huge oil reservers, Swiss healthcare is basically private. We could go deeper. NHS in UK is in the shambles for example.

Switzerland has universal health care, regulated by the Swiss Federal Law on Health Insurance. There are no free state-provided health services, but private health insurance is compulsory for all persons residing in Switzerland (within three months of taking up residence or being born in the country). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Switzerland#:~:t...).

Since we are on a technical/scientific site I'll put it in mathematical terms: implementing social policies is a Necessary But Not Sufficient condition for a Country to be socialist.

There are literally zero countries in the EU that are socialist, they only have ~some~ social policies.

Having implemented social policies doesn't make the EU States socialists... You should do some reading and learn the differences

Yes, there are people I know who are still paying the same price Iliad offered at launch: 5.99€/month for unlimited calls and messages, and 30GB in 4G+. That price was basically half of what all other available providers offered at the time.

How "no one is illegal" is an anti-european message or "hate speech against native populations" is beyond me.

Police murdered 4 days ago: https://apnews.com/article/germany-mannheim-stabbing-police-...

Please stop with the dissimulated anti-european hate speech that fuels this wave of terror and violence against the native population.

This is a technology board, I will report this article to the admins because hatred should not have a place here.

You still haven't explained me how that message is anti-european or solicit violence against the native population. That's like saying being pro freedom of religion is like being against Christianity.

Regarding the events in the article you linked: I haven't been following them, but from the look of it it seems the attacker could be very well an Islamic extremist. Being an advocate for immigrants rights doesn't mean someone cannot be also against religious extremists.

This is a technological board, not a place for spreading hate messages under the guise of ignorance or ingenuity.

Let's please keep the talks focused on technology. Without hate speech or anti-european ideologies, thank you.

I agree, and I don't see anti-european ideologies or hate speech anywhere in that repo, thank you for being on the lookout though.

Arguing for respect for all human beings is not anti-European - it is as European in spirit and values as it could be.

Except if for you, "Europe" was at its best at the time of feudalism.

They are propaganda, the CIA and Pentagon had/have their hands in many movies, Marvel's Captain Marvel is a prominent example [1]

I should clarify that the "poison for your brain" remark is what I was considering hyperbolic. Also this is coming from someone who saw his friends join the Air Force after watching the original Top Gun in theaters :)

I used OhMyZsh! for a long time and really liked it, but now I moved to Starship [1]. However I noticed I still missed some of the "steroids" that OhMyZsh brought so I keep it installed in my system and I only source the plugins I need in the .zshrc:

  source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/completion.zsh
  source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/directories.zsh
  source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/history.zsh
  source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/spectrum.zsh
  source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/key-bindings.zsh
