Also, didn't it use Servo crates? I don't think you can say 'from scratch' if 60% of the actual work is from an external lib. If I install an Arch Linux, I don't say I 'installed Linux from scratch'.

Isn't neoliberal just Friedman and the Chicago boyz' liberalism? So policies enacted by Reagan, Pinochet and Thatchers?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. They were part of the coalition against the Shah, which included Islamists, Democrats and Marxists. Since Marxists are used to be betrayed, it's basically a feature at this point, they wer

I've never had any WiFi issues, and I think most people who started using Linux in the mid 2010s have the same experience. Graphic though, yes (I had as much sleep issues on windows than on Linux). Especially the dual graphics intel&#x

Khomenei is called the "supreme leader" since 89. His predecessor betrayed his allies by wording a referendum for the abolition of the monarchy weirdly, making it instead about the installation of a theocracy. (i don't want t

That's remarkably similar to Saddam Hussein organization, except the 5. Do they need that much because they are a minority in the country too? (Also, were your family part of the mujahideen/OMPI/MEK? I know two French iranian

first: it's not in one day, it is over three weeks. Second, the 25000 is an extrapolation. Basically the Iran Islamic republic has a tendency to admit to 10-15% of the death toll, and they admit 3000 death. It is a fair question.

What's the difference? they protested the government, got shot at. Then after a few month of getting killed while protesting, they chose to retaliate. Is it when the protesters retaliate that you call a protest an uprising?

It started like that though. It was a protest, then government military start killing people, again, and again, and once deadly violence is on the board, protester takes arms and shoot too. Then bystanders get killed, protesters get killed,

Abortion was less dangerous than giving birth, especially for young (16-) women with smaller hips. The proposition was often "harm yourself, and maybe painfully sterilize yourself" or "maybe die". Marriage as a sacrament
