  • Regional power with powerful neighbours, has nuclear weapons, struggles with impacts of climate change, (completely?) electrified railway recently, doesn’t take a stance on the war in Ukraine due to involvement with Russia, farmer’s protests, BJP/Modi won’t step down, religious conflicts.

    My country’s media don’t report much about India, but occasionally they do features about specific topics.









  • The comment reads a bit like corporate-speak and or an advertisement.

    Folks also don’t need to be protected from themselves, because people perfectly capable of governing themselves once they figured out how plugins work.

    One could read from this that plugins should be moderated better, maybe with automatic checks.

    Why the heck do I have to install something just to watch a video online?

    MPEG-LA licensing or the legal hell of USA-based organisations is a risk to small projects like Fedora, so where possible they cut the risk and lay it on users decision to use propriatory licenses.

    At least that is how I understood it. I don’t know how Arch Linux and Debian (i.e. pacman and APT) don’t have that problem.





  • Arya is not a viable partner for him for at least another five to ten years, IMHO actually for like 20-30 years. Eragon is still a displaced peasant with power not seen for millenia and Arya is a monarch of a superhumanity, who was stuffed with knowledge and experience since birth while having a very different mind. Eragon might not even fully understand yet how relationships work and how truly different elves are.

    Roran’s martial masculinity and Katrina’s clicheed submission, Sloan’s power trip etc.


  • Roran and Katrina have this weird martial ‘A man needs to protecc’ and tradwife dynamic.

    Eragon is somewhat a minor while try-harding to flirt with Arya who is superhuman even to Eragon as a Rider. It is not out of character, but it really confused me when I read it as a teen.

    Nasuada is a glorified dictator. Islanzadi, Hrothgar, Orik and Arya are glorified superhuman dictators. Human civilians have no agency and the great magic system even further cements that (Dwarfs have gods, Elves have the forest and their magic, while human magic doesn’t seem to aggregate to create a check on rulers).
