That's my point: The classical definition makes the assumption that written records are the only records with any kind of reliability, which doesn't hold everywhere.

I could've phrased it better.

So it works but they don't have a process in place to ensure it works. That doesn't meet their standard for official support and so they retracted their claim that they support Linux via Proton. But they also made clear that they plan on getting that process in place.

That's honestly the best possible position.

I wouldn't say the idea of prehistory is disrupted per se. But we have to accept that it's region-dependent. In any given region (recorded) history started when the oldest still available account was preserved.

Some regions are far better at preserving very old accounts than others.

Ist halt die alte faschistische Rhetorik: Der Feind ist gleichzeitig überwältigend stark und lächerlich schwach. Er ist so stark, dass er furchteinflößend ist und sofort gegen ihn gehandelt werden muss. Und das mit meiner Bewegung, weil nur wir stark genug sind. Aber er ist auch so schwach, dass wir ihn problemlos besiegen werden, weil wir halt so überlegen sind und er nie etwas auf die Reihe kriegt.

Die Positionen können jederzeit gegeneinander ausgetauscht werden, sogar im selben Satz. Diese Inkonsistenz wird zu keinem Zeitpunkt zugegeben. Es ist instrumentalisierte kognitive Dissonanz.

Und hier sind die Rechten halt gleichzeitig die starken Krieger und sowieso die Mehrheit, aber wenn jemand ihnen öffentlich widerspricht, dann ist das eine linksgrüne Unterdrückungskampagne, die das Land ruinieren wird.

I liked the first season because the protagonist actually used his brain, made observations, and came up with sensible plans. That was pretty refreshing; usually even "smart" protagonists will come up with bullshit plans out of nowhere.

Then in season two he became an idiot and the show itself became amazingly stupid.

Well, there was Rainfurrest, which was so bad that I know the name off the top of my head without even being in the furry scene. From what I've heard it was an outlier organized by people who'd been banned from other conventions so by no means typical.

But it's not like I've never heard of a furry convention going wrong.

If you want a bunch of stuff that's not in core or extra and you don't want to intensely babysit the AUR, you could try Chaotic-AUR. It hosts prebuilt packages for a bunch of AUR packages which are actively maintained by the Chaotic team.

I consider it to be more secure than the AUR proper since they actually care for their packages and review nontrivial changes. For instance, the recent takeover attacks didn't hit Chaotic-AUR builds since the changed packages didn't make it past the review.

It's still an unofficial third-party repository and closer to the AUR than to extra but I consider it a major step up.

You'd think the United States would take great care when designing their main tools for global power projection. And you'd probably be right; I can imagine that countless hours were invested into determining where the parts get built and which senators get to politically benefit from that. Technological details don't really matter; at worst you can just turn flaws into lucrative followup contracts for companies in the stock portfolios of top politicians.

"Until I die?!"

"No, until the end of the comic. We're in the last panel, what did you expect?"

"And the pile of corpses?"

"Oh yeah, they're dead alright."
