You forgot the one that is still compiling...

What do you mean by poor long term stability? It's a rolling release. I run the same installation for basically forever, while fixed releases' life-time is measured in just a few years before you lose support and need to do a full distro upgrade... which rarely seems to work without problems.

PS: I just looked it up. The first date in my pacman log in from 2014...

What I cited was growth in May (with other brands having numbers from 3.3 to 6.3...) which then was followed by the statement that "Chinese car brands were the main driver of growth in May" with no numbers given. And that makes no sense.

Nobody doubts that the yearly growth is impressive (out of context that is - see below...) but that's not what the "in May" statement is about.

Also we can find yearly numbers for registered EVs further down in the article. And sure... BYD's +158% or Xpeng's +350% for example look impressive. But then there are Skoda (+182%), Ford (+280%), Citroen (+411%), Porsche (+204%) with several of them having completely new entries in 2025's most-registered top25... unlike those chinese brands. (Side note: the post's description talks about increased market share "led by MG & BYD"... MG actually lost 40% in registered EV volume year to year.)

So I still see this as manufacturing hype about chinese EVs when in reality growth of chinese brands just reflects the growth of the electric share (massively for those bringing brand new models to that quickly changing market) in the total car market, with multiple European brands showing comparable (or better) performance.

File permissions...

allowed to execute=1, allowed to write=2, allowed to read=4

grouped by owner/group/everyone.

So one of your own files you have full access to while users in your usergroup are only allowed to read it and nobody else has any permissions would have: 740 (read+write+execute / read / none).

That's not a problem but a feature as those morons very well align with authoritatian assholes like Putin. Okay, Russia's imperialist ambitions look like a problem at first but that can obviously be solved by being on Putin's good side *wink wink*

As much as I despise Windows while also using archlinux/i3-wm as my daily driver...

Tiling is no rocket science. Basically every stacking window manager including Windows can do it well enough to be usable with just a few properly configured defaults and short-keys.

For the majority there is sadly a very simple answer....

Reason #1 to be at risked of being impacted by that malware? You don't care and won't read a technical article either.

Maybe I'm bad at maths but...

VW Group: +3.3%

Renault Group: +4.6%

BMW Group: +6.3%

Chinese Brands: +5.9%

How can chinese car makers with less than 6% market share and not actually exceptional growth compared to competitors be "the main driver of growth"? Other than "that's the narrative we like to spread" of course...

But why is this thing wasting so much electricity on my side with black text on bright white background?

People are obviously too stupid to learn so why waste ressources on inventing new lies when you can just tell them the same rediculous one over and over?

If you are talking about 2016/17 then your statement is missing a "in the span of just about 3 months".

Can't be true or they wouldn't constantly increase their US dependence against the explicit will of the voters.
