  • I’ve had this discusion before after reading about it on wikipedia (i’m neither national, just curious).

    Currently perplexity.ai says “Taiwan’s official name is Republic of China (ROC). This is the name used by the government that relocated to Taiwan after 1949, and it is still the constitutional title of the government based in Taipei. In practice, Taiwan is commonly referred to as Taiwan or the Taiwan authorities, while international organizations and some states use “Chinese Taipei” or ROC/Taiwan depending on context and diplomatic considerations. The situation is rooted in the historical split between the Republic of China (founded 1912 on the Chinese mainland) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC, established in 1949 on the mainland) and the ongoing “One China” framework that affects formal recognition and naming in various forums.”

    Its looks like ROC came first, but i’m not sure why is everyone getting downvoted when they mention this name.















  • I’ve only once had a broken firmware update in years and it was an easy fix.

    I’m not sure how people can recommend other distributions when they all have issues of one sort or another and you just have to do the bare minimum sometimes to fix them.

    Judging from how hasty you are to dismiss a distribution based on a singular event, I would say it will be hard to find other distributions that can be what you wish them to be.

    Not gate keeping here, but even in Windows/Mac there are issues which require some research to fix, sometimes even harder than linux ones.

    Apple is the same company that “complied” with the alternative app stores by “allowing” altstore to exist, fully controlled by something called “notarized” apps.

    They are are a POS anti-consumer company which deserves the worst. Oh yeah, and let’s not forget the quality of their own os and apps. Pure trash.
