  • You typically need to notify other members of a treaty of your withdrawal, and then there’s some time delay until you’re no longer bound by the terms. You can’t just secretly withdraw, or treaties wouldn’t be very meaningful.

    EDIT: Yeah. The submitted article says that it happens in six months from today, and here’s the treaty text on withdrawal:

    https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/documents/atrocity-crimes/Doc.44_convention antipersonnel mines.pdf

    Article 20

    Duration and withdrawal

    1. This Convention shall be of unlimited duration.

    2. Each State Party shall, in exercising its national sovereignty, have the right to withdraw from this Convention. It shall give notice of such withdrawal to all other States Parties, to the Depositary and to the United Nations Security Council. Such instrument of withdrawal shall include a full explanation of the reasons motivating this withdrawal.

    3. Such withdrawal shall only take effect six months after the receipt of the instrument of withdrawal by the Depositary. If, however, on the expiry of that six- month period, the withdrawing State Party is engaged in an armed conflict, the withdrawal shall not take effect before the end of the armed conflict.

    4. The withdrawal of a State Party from this Convention shall not in any way affect the duty of States to continue fulfilling the obligations assumed under any relevant rules of international law.

    Expect a bunch of people in comments who will deliberately recommend default Arch


    Arch


    Any of them that use the Arch repos directly are probably fine. Don’t use Manjaro.


    Manjaro or Endeavour.


    Just base arch


    Garuda


    Steamos


    Artix + OpenRC


    CachyOS


    EndeavourOS and nothing else.

    I suppose that pretty much covers the full gamut.

    EDIT: Here’s the Linux distro family tree:

    https://github.com/FabioLolix/LinuxTimeline/releases

    It lists 19 still-living Arch-based distros. Disregarding category-based recommendations and looking only at explicitly-named recommendations, as of this writing, you’ve explicitly been recommended 7 so far, or over a third of what exist. :-)







  • “Fallout is the big one,” Middler claimed. “There are multiple Fallout projects in development, including, as far as I’m aware, that one that I’m sure you’re all wanting. It’s not far enough in along to say anything like ‘you’re going to be playing this game anytime soon’.”

    Middler then joked, “Anyway, New Vegas 2, coming soon”. Is this the one we’re “all wanting”? Yes, but then also so is Fallout 3 Remastered, Fallout 5 and even a remake of Fallout 2. The fanbase is rabid, and hungry, and it’s been a long time since they’ve been fulfilled outside of Fallout 76 updates.

    I mean, if Bethesda released all four of those, I’d buy all four.

    I also don’t know what “Fallout 3 Remastered” entails, but if it means forward-porting the content to Starfield’s engine, that’d be pretty cool, though I do wonder how much effort will be required for mod-porting.


  • Acquiring F-35A jets is “part of NATO’s nuclear mission”;

    By March 2026, the UK will add 27 more jets: 12 F-35A and 15 F-35B;

    I hadn’t been following this closely recently, but if you go back far enough, the Royal Air Force had been planning to get F-35As and the Royal Navy F-35Bs. The A variant isn’t equipped for carrier operations, which makes it not really viable for the Royal Navy, but has longer range and more payload. Then there was some discussion at one point about maybe just having both use F-35Bs to help leverage commonality, which I imagine the Royal Air Force wasn’t too keen on. Sounds like they’re back to both the A and B model.
