    This is why the Nolan Batman trilogy (really the first two films) resonated so well with the global audience.

    It was an ordinary guy against systemic corruption, something that a majority of the global population lives in every day.

    Not a superhero against an externalized villain whose motives can be boiled down to either “evil because I deserve it” (the main antagonist) or “evil because of necessity” (every thug and extra who gets beat up).

    Iron Man was also basically a giant ad for the US military in Afghanistan lol. Marvel never brought back the Taliban ten rings in Shang Chi

    Edit: realized you meant in the sense of hot swapping flavors after I typed out a whole explanation lol. Should start recommending niche distros and collect package managers like trading cards lol.

    yum = dnf, dnf is just the newer version which was rewritten several times.

    apt is a weird attempt to “upgrade” apt-get with better user interface without messing with the compatibility of apt-get used by scripts and whatnot.

    Both of these are dependency handling package managers which do all the magic of installing required subpackges when you want something.

    rpm is the underlying system package manager which deals with the actual task of installing, removing, and generating packages in the .rpm format. It is analogous to Debian’s dpkg which uses the .deb format. It’s usually not used by the end user unless you need to play with a package directly like with a .rpm or .deb file.

    Hence why some distros (or people) have their own dependency package manager, like zypper on OpenSUSE (rpm) or Aptitude on Debian (deb).

    Although I think Aptitude might just be a fancy wrapper for apt lol.





  • Criticism of one of the worst democratic party campaigns is clearly the mark of a tankie.

    There’s just no way telling your constituency and voter base to “fuck off” would have any kind of negative consequence on the election.

    It’s just simply impossible. We clearly lost because the tankies from .ml ran a nationwide psyop that lead to losing every single swing state.
