you are absolutely right. there is value to these in software engineering and the people who don’t realize that and learn how and when to apply them will be left behind

it’s such a game changer when you’re actually using it. night and day, completely different experience.
also, GEO is in many regards more at risk for Kessler syndrome because stuff up there doesn’t deorbit

It’s not an intentional snub, I just answered this question in a different reply.
I don’t know with enough certainty to list out all the issues, but the biggest one that sticks out to me is information control.
The government restricts citizens access to the Internet (among other things). I have talked to people from Russia, people from China, etc online. But I have never talked to someone from North Korea and that is a pretty big red flag for me.
I pretty strongly believe that anybody who tries to control the flow of information amongst supposedly free people is not a “good guy”. Yes, this includes the United States, UK, China, etc. Many do so to some extent and I am against all of them for that.
But, none so draconian seeming as the DPRK.

sure, go for it.
although I think it’s pretty obvious that it’s not comparable here.
it’s called the Korean peninsula. One country is on the north, one is on the south. pretty hard to argue that North Korea and South Korea don’t logically follow from that.

I’m not ok with being called racist. I’m sorry that you think I should just sit and take that but that’s ridiculous. You have no right.
The burden of proof lies on you for making an extraordinary claim without evidence.

It’s cool to use this to discount my personal direct experience but I don’t think it’s a strong counter.
Dating somebody typically means you get to know them and their cultural background really really well. It’s extremely relevant here whether you like that or want to discount it

EVERYWHERE has its problems.
And yes, that is the DPRK too.
I want to establish that it’s even worth talking by making sure that y’all could budge on anything. otherwise this is a waste of time.
I’m deeply open to new perspectives, and I love to hear them - they widen my world. But I have some experiences already that generally conflict with the messaging here.
I’ve dated a Korean and been to Korea which has influenced me quite a lot.

I find it hard to believe that “North Korea” is racist.
That’s literally the cardinal direction of that country.
Other things…
I dated a Korean!
I’ve been to South Korea!
Thinking South Korea is a dictatorship but North Korea is sunshine and rainbows is…
delusional imo.
I’m not sure if you’ve been to either but I have to assume no.

i mean, everything else aside… if the DPRK is so great, why do they maintain such a tight grasp on what the citizens can access and share information wise?
it’s generally not positive to restrict people’s access to information. people there are not on the internet

I think if you can’t admit the obvious problems with the DPRK then there is no conversation to be had here.
China, I understand. North Korea? I do not.
I certainly do not think that calling me racist out of the blue is helping your case, either.

you’re losing a lot of nuances here, just want to add for other readers.
there was and are good reasons for why code wasn’t accepted

nice to have that sort of freedom, since the majority of companies use some Microsoft products

distro barely matters beyond how you get the packages.
there’s a reason arch is popular, it can be whatever you want it to be.
tbh, it sounds like you don’t have a great understanding of Linux (not an attack!) so I would definitely stay away from Kali, and other distros like that.
stick with Arch if you’re confident you can maintain it, or if you want to have a system which you don’t have to poke at Fedora is a great option
