The protocol isn't even the issue, banks already use XRP.

It's the fact that USD is propped up by Uncle Sam's globalized monopoly which is kept in tip top shape by geopolitical power.

Everyone trades in USD because it's the de facto currency and it's stable because the government can abuse its power to keep it that way.

No one trusts the value of the Ruble, Yuan, Rupee, or even any other currency except for maybe the Euro. They all exist for internal use, which means its just gets compared in value to USD whenever you have to deal with anything external, which is all the time.

BRICS would only fly if a stable trade medium can rapidly prove its worth with market stress and trade requirement, otherwise everyone will just continue to use USD, hence why the USA doesn't currently view it as much of a threat. And even if you could get countries on board, the US can hold on to a massive noose around everyone's neck by refusing to trade in anything but USD, which would effectively shut you off from trading with a massive portion of US based/owned/partner companies.

XFCE + Compiz

The unholy combination of accelerated 3D graphics and performance, all without the stupid drawbacks of wayland.

Runs much lighter than KDE even with all the 3D cube and windows stuff enabled.

Extremely customizable as well. XFCE already does a great job of UI/UX, it just lacks a compositor to add flare (xfwm4 has no animations, only some blur effects).

I don't know why news sites have been acting like this is surprising considering India is one of Russia's biggest trade partners and even military allies.

They even made it clear from the beginning they had no intention of copying any of the sanctions after the war started.

Actually no, it's just that the programs on Linux usually accept SIGINT, SIGTERM, etc pretty gracefully. Some are even smart enough to handle it on a thread hang. SIGKILL is last resort.

Lots of Windows applications like to ignore the close request because Windows doesn't have signals and instead you can only pass a window name to request exit which is the same as clicking the close button.

So any hung software won't respond and you have to terminate it.

Clearly best downstream of Fedora comrade. Complete with open source anti capitalist technology to save your eyes from ~~the truth~~ the totally inferior OS of the west.

Okay for starters Hezbollah is Lebanon's militant group that has nothing to do directly with Hamas & Palestine aside from being loose allies.

More importantly though, Hamas was elected into power in Gaza, they are the local government.

Putting "Hamas run" in front of anything would be like saying "Democratic run USA", it's been overwhelmingly used as a way to discredit Gaza in reporting.

Most international sources have said that the ministry's statistics are accurate, including both the UN and WHO. If anything they actually stated it is underreported because it doesn't include estimates from starvation and inaccessible/lost bodies (ie no confirmation).

And no their endgame isn't world outrage, Israel actually did a pretty good job of preventing that for 70+ years. They're just Palestinians who want their land back after being shoved into an open air prison for existing.

Systemd ignored my calendar override for the builtin raid scanner, so every week my server would chug to a halt to scan the entire array.

In true systemd fashion, the documentation could not explain this behavior, so I had to make a full copy override instead of a merge override because reasons.

Asking for defunding of genocide is also apparently the "dazzle" that's too much.
