They positioned themselves as the ethical choice, financially supported a bigot, and advertised his distro, then made excuses for it when called out.

Kinda like you’re doing

I’m not going to dance around words because you want to protect the sensibilities of a bigot.

I’m not “meh” about denouncing bigots. If you’ve supported a bigot and you don’t actively and vocally walk it back, that’s not “meh”. That’s a refusal to acknowledge the issue and the harm done in normalising the voices and visibility of bigots

I’m not in the habit of assuming companies that knowingly supported bigots, the benefit of the doubt. If there isn’t a clear, loud and non ambiguous walking back of their clear, loud and unambiguous support, then why would you, I or anyone else assume they have done so?

Same guy, but no, I was referring to Omarchy and DHH himself.

Care to support the transphobes angle with evidence? Or does it work like an honorary title?

Interesting that you chose to be passive aggressive and get your back up at the the idea that he’s transphobic, rather than simply asking for evidence…

In any case, he did an article on his blog celebrating Abigail Shrier and her transphobic Irreversible Damage book. I’m not going to link to his blog, but if you want to find it, it was posted in March 2024

I’d be happy to if I could find any evidence it were true.

They support and fund DHH

Yay, yet another tech company funding racists and transphobes is doing well :/

I’ve yet to see someone smoking a cigarette whilst running a marathon…

CachyOS does the same

I don’t think enough people realize that this is catastrophically bad. It’ll discourage people from becoming open source developers, it’ll discourage people from using Linux, and it’ll discourage legislators from taking the Linux community seriously.

Sure, but personally, I don’t want a linux community that’s driven by corporate needs and governments that have been paid off by them. I don’t view it as a catastrophe, if that’s the version of “the linux community” that we lose.

None of that is to say that harassing devs is correct. It’s not, and never is. Harassing anyone with death threats and dogpiling is not on. But if we take that out of the picture, negative pushback that drives away devs that would otherwise have helped implement universal age gating isn’t something I’m terribly upset over, because I don’t want the version of community they’re taking us towards

Our setup uses a domain pointed at a dynamic (but stable) IP with a script to update it periodically

Pinta

They do, but only by passively monitoring RSS feeds for new content that exceeds your current quality. They don’t do active upgrade searches unless you manually trigger them.

The distinction is important if you imported some or all of your media library, rather than building it from scratch with the arr stack stuff. It also matters if you source some your content via providers that don’t have RSS feeds.

How about an article like

“Clickbait Headlines You Should Not Use Anymore”

No no no. That won’t work with btrfs snapshots if you’ve had a kernel upgrade. Choose grub from those two

I will say, if you’re a newbie, then btrfs has one big benefit, especially when combined with Grub or Limine as your boot loader, and that is the ability to just roll back to a previous snapshot when something breaks.

Playing with things and breaking things as you learn is a lot less of a hassle when you can simply roll back your system to where it was yesterday, instead of having to re-install it from scratch

These days there isn’t really any reason to avoid btrfs. It’s stable, and has a lot of nice features.

Nope. Data directories and compose files only.
