who does even compete with Gnome ? it is the de facto default desktop in almost all notable distros.

it just works, though it is far less customizable compared to KDE, it is far more stable -still only compared to KDE..

regardless of what people complain of, firefox is still an awesome daily driver. nobody likes the direction the MF is taking the browser to but at least we can influence it, unlike google.

Try Canada or Australia. Also as a temporary solution you can open a bank account in Turkey or Azerbaijan and start doing some upwork.

I think you can solely sustain a relationship with trust, lack of common interests can freeze it but does not necessarily extinguish it.

Nationalists for many, fascists for some. One should not evaluate Chinese civil war with European eyeglasses.

is this unexpected ? erdogan literally buys weapons from russia as a nato member, allies with putin at every occassion and disregards any civilized values. he'd like to squeeze minorities as he wants, oppress the opposition as he wants and ally with whoever he wants. at that point, people might not want to cooperate with you, a bit of diplomacy eh ?

It has nothing to do with religious beliefs, its all about gathering capital on his side. He is just abusing peoples' religious beliefs. Everybody knows the new savings scheme he introduced is essentially increasing interest rates.

Contrary to popular belief, I do not think that Erdogan will continue to mold Turkey's future. So far Turkey always had 40-50% opposition which could not unit, but now they are all united and next time it is certainly going to tip the scale in the right way. He will do everything to delay the elections or call them at the right time -like now ?- but his plans don't always work out -not far, look to recent Istanbul elections he lost.

We jumped off the CentOS boat after their statement and switched to OpenSuSe, no regrets so far, smooth sailing.

We have been there with my girlfriend a year ago. Tehran is a fairly safe place, not that 'tourist oriented' and only seriously annoying thing was traffic as we were not expecting such time to go waste in hours of traffic jams. We intend to visit Isfahan next and hope it is better.

Food, people, museums, landmarks, stuff you find in markets and once more people are quite awesome. As soon as you look like a lost tourist, people attempt to help you 'genuinely'. They try to chat with you everywhere and show that their country is nice, unlike how they paint it in western media.

Gum-added ice cream is something you can find around Aegean Sea -Turkish or Greek coast-. Especially around Chios and Izmir it is quite common and tasty, so you can try that out without going all the way to Palestine ;)
