DPRK is not run by psychopaths but more importantly they see Koreans living in the south as their own people. If DPRK were to nuke anyone it would be the US.

Good, if true. CNN are habitual liars and warmongers.

Merz did say Israel is doing Europe’s or Germany’s dirty work by attacking Iran

Good. And in less time than Germany, Japan or South Korea which are still occupied. Not that I trust the US, they may be planning some false flag operation to justify reoccupation. The only hope is that remaining in Southwest Asia has been made prohibitively expensive.

MATE is already perfect, for a more modern alternative you can use Cinnamon. This project is just a waste of time and resources. It is not like some corporate overlord is waiting for a BSD-licensed MATE to profit off of. I am not against people working on passion projects that are not necessarily viable, but the whole point of this seems to license-wash MATE.

Holden cars meanwhile remain hack-proof. Another win for the Australian auto industry.

Many AOSP apps are dated and Google has its own closed source Google apps.

The writing has been on the wall for years now [Article from 2018]

And AOSP is purposefully falling behind

The OpenAtom Foundation might have an opportunity here -non-profit behind OpenHarmony the basis for HarmonyOS and others-, at least in some parts of the world any ways.

Most USians are a lost cause, they are propagandized from an early age that they become immune to reason and evidence.

No one was run over by tanks

Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS (long-term support) releases, unless you go with LMDE which is based on Debian. There is not a major technical difference but there are political differences between the projects.

The main reason to go with Mint instead of Ubuntu is if you prefer Cinnamon over GNOME as I do, and want a distribution built around the Cinnamon desktop environment.

OpenHarmony does exist of which Huawei’s HarmonyOS is but one distribution.

It is like Android, mixed source. Android is based on the open source AOSP project. HarmonyOS is based on the open source OpenHarmony project. Kaihong has released laptops that uses its own OpenHarmony distribution.

“Wars just happen in Southwest Asia”

Iraq suffered from decade-long sanctions before it was invaded. It was already quite exhausted even before the sanctions after an eight-year war with Iran.

Ukraine has the support of NATO and some of the richest countries on Earth.

This has been the policy and goal even before 1948. They are just more honest and aggressive about it now perhaps they know that time is running out.

I can’t wait until HarmonyOS becomes global.

Weird how this is not the case. You could begin by citing court cases and verdicts.
