    Nothing, i’m just saying that most people don’t understand this and don’t know that their individual skills with a firearm just won’t matter much if you don’t organize into a proper group with modern vehicles at your disposable.

    Point is, if you wanna go down the route of “I need 2A for an oppressive government”, you’ll quickly find yourself getting into the same situation as everyone else. Unless you form a side via a civil war, you’re gonna suffer heavy losses in the initial stage just like everyone else, and commit to long term attrition just like everyone else.

    Not saying it’s a bad idea in any way, but there’s a significant portion of the American community that I could not imagine being able to walk 10k despite stockpiling a platoon’s worth of ammo.

    Gulf War 1 was literally the king of all curbstomps and the Taliban fell just as fast to a swarm of CAS, even though they had the NWA completly surrounded.

    Only Vietnam survived because surprise surprise they had a hefty mechanized supply line provided by the USSR via China.

    Gulf 2 and the aftermath in Afghanistan was still a ridiculously long occupation that all hinged on the idea that the US no longer had any meaningful interest to commit resources and would eventually leave.

    IFVs exist for this exact purpose and they typically have minimum 1 per tank if not 2.

    You ain’t gonna get very far when theres a 25mm auto cannon spraying and praying in your general direction.

    Plus the coaxial 7.62 MGs

    Plus the hull mounted M2 .50 cal MGs.

    Why do you think separatists and resistance movements have to rely on IEDs and forcing fights in urban environments with a metric ton of cover available?

    Why do you think they get steamrolled by mechanized armored units like almost every time that forces them into guerilla fighting tactics like digging tunnels and using mountainous terrain?










  • Very critical. GNOME and KDE have two very different UX paradigms.

    Usually people used to Windows opt for KDE, and Mac or older Ubuntu users opt for GNOME.

    The thing is though, a golden standard DE can easily be setup to act as both. XFCE is so customizable that I’ve seen both DE types setup as UNIX like or Windows like workflow.

    I’m not sure if KDE or GNOME can do the same because I’m pretty sure they focus on a target audience.

    What are your issues with KDE exactly? I always hated GNOME’s lack of standard window buttons and handling multiple windows in a Mac like fashion. Also the app menu which gives me flashbacks of ChromeOS.

    tbf to this thread, wayland wasn’t really viable until 2023.

    I made an existing comment on this that people didn’t like because I pointed out that most of Wayland’s “modern upgrades” like VRR, HDR, etc were unimplemented or unfinished for years. Even HDR is still “beta” on KDE iirc.

    People also like to pretend the triple buffer wasn’t a can of worms for many users for a very long time (and still is on low power devices).
