Same for me.

My config is a couple lines longer, but other than font-family, font-size, color theme and a couple of other settings I didn't need to change anything else.

I definitely spent way less time configuring it to suit my needs that I did with any other terminal I used before.

I agree with you for the font size, but other than that I really like the minimal UI

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 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...

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.

I am perfectly aware of the existence of socialist parties in Europe... Let me get this straight: are you really saying that because there are socialist parties in Europe, the European states are socialists?

Most of the EU states are currently led by liberal/neo-liberal/right-wing parties dude...

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.

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.

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.

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