If we want to avoid giving into age verification we’ll still need to be selective about the Linux. But we have a chart.
I will gladly lose a California market. Users can use a VPN anyway.
What a sour thing to say.
All presidents are evil. Bill Clinton embargoed Iraq to shift the news cycle off of his blowjob, and it killed a million children who had dependence on imported medical supplies.
Trump isn’t special. Just one more cunt.
Sweet. It’s one of the few at the top of our poll I haven’t seen. And I’m pretty excited for it.
This is why I’m going to argue for pure Arch or Artix. Ultimately, what a lot of these distros bring to the table is artwork. But they bite off a lot more than artwork when doing so. And in time they can start to suck at that administration.
It’s not very hard to set up your system with a vanilla DE and adjust it into something good. You don’t need to get fancy. And to the extent someone else’s art work can be good and accelerate getting to a nice system, there are other ways to distribute that.
You should want your distro to be 95% administration and 5% art because in the long run that’s whats going to keep your system stable and avoid future headaches. But some artists are overly ambitious and envision creating an entire version of an operating system, including the parts they aren’t passionate about. And some people buy in on this premise and install these projects. …instead of just releasing dot files.
For it to go well requires that both the leadership and the contributors are passionate about all of the parts and passionate about them forever. Not very likely. If you want a distro that is administered well, get a distro where administration is all they do, and then get your artwork as a separate selection.
Now you can get your art from artists who put 95% of their effort into art. And your package stability by people who put 95% of their effort into package stability.
Everyone has romantic feelings toward a system that is integrated. But what they should realize is that integrated and modular are opposites. And modular is what they should want, with effective roll separation.
If they fork Majaro that is good. If when they fork it they scope down to just distribute a dot file set, and maybe create their own easy installer for Arch that isn’t a seperate whole distro, that is better.
For Israel.
Well… with Arch it’s unsafe to install new software to a system that isn’t up to date at least semi-recently. But you really only need to update as often as you install new things. Or more often if you want to.
A related thing I’ve done is I’ve made it so pacman can’t run outside of Tmux. At least not in that shell profile. One of the reasons is I got so fed up with Ubuntu server that I decided I’d experiment with a few servers being Arch. Some might consider that crazy but it’s what experiments are for.
I can’t afford to have an ssh disconnect break a system and forcing Tmux prevents me from doing something lazy. Side benefit… it also means it’s easier to not babysit it.
This proves that politicians are actually evil. Hans Herman Hoppe is just being proven right. Republican democracies just put actual evil people in charge of resources.
I see. I guess home instance might be a phrase we should spread to avoid these kinds of confusions.
That’s the point. Everyone on Lemmy is basically Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Apparently they are in Rome:

How would someone get banned from their own instance? Do you really own it if you can get banned from it?
Bill Clinton did this. The embargo on Iraq, according to Madeleine Albright, was to distract from the Monica scandal. 1 million children died from the loss of medical supply access.
I hugely agree that we need electoral reform. But no party is going to make that happen. The best we can do is get electoral reform locally. When enough Americans are exposed to good voting systems then maybe there is a shot.
The other kind of creepy moon shot is if we all become AI hiveminds. The one positive side effect might be people universally knowing as a canonical truth that first past the post can’t work.
I like invidious as a concept but it doesn’t work more often than it works.
Another 2 decade long war will help us get there 30% faster.
They wouldn’t put that much effort into it if it weren’t a legitimate threat that could occur from an anticipatable motive paired with an anticipatable capability.
The fact that they have designed the buildings that way proves all the points I made.
My top one is writing my own project management software, and maintaining it for over a decade as its only user, because without it I would be 100% dysfunctional. It could be argued that the software isn’t even that good. But it involves ranking the tasks against each other so at the end you have to pick something concrete.
