He does exactly that half a minute earlier though. Was basically asked “did you socialize with Donald Trump” which he confirms after clarification. He just plead the fifth after the question was amended with “with females under the age of 18” or whatever the wording was.

Yeah, but the post I replied to said “since 1998”. That is prior to bookworm.

Personally, I don’t care for it too much. Every time I try it (which is rare) something annoys me. "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE"s, deviation from upstream that renders official documentation less valuable. With Arch (which I don’t use anymore), you can be pretty sure that what’s on your machine is what’s currently released by upstream. This refers both to version and the software itself. Remember cdrkit? xscreensaver? The weak OpenSSH keys? Sure, these must notable examples are from long ago, but there were just so many issues over the course of my “career” that the distribution for me is somewhat burned. Also because all of this could have been easily avoided.

Anyhow, use what you want, but it’s for sure not my favorite distro.

It’s a statement. Similar to a thinking cap

Debian gaming wasn’t great when a lot of the landscape was changing (around 2016?) and even one of my very Debian friendly colleagues switched his gaming machine to Arch back then because getting the new stuff like AMD Vulkan drivers and DXVK running was really hard on Debian. Don’t think he migrated that particular machine back since then.

It’s not that difficult

Yes

Can’t even commit a genocide and go on a cruise undisturbed after, what has this world come to

Just forgot about the monopoly part

However, if you follow that train of thought, you’ll often get to the point where you’d need to get rid of cars as we know them today.

If people weren’t depending on them, fewer would have one. And if only few people have one (they are expensive, after all), why build roads just for them? Why all this costly infrastructure that would only benefit 5% of the population? Why use everyone’s tax to fund them?

The fact that cars are built like today - basically comfort cages - is only because all this infrastructure exists. They’re not used outside of that environment. So of people don’t depend on it, they’d probably vanish in a couple of decades, at least outside of their respective niches.

If you go by the initial acronym, it means personal iirc

BRICS as an organization and not as a loose grouping concept is somehow less than the sum of its parts I always think

If you haven’t bought illicit drugs from a darknet market, you’re doing crypto and possibly life wrong

Regardless of this particular issue, he is a convicted felon, so of course he’s guilty

It’s just unfortunate that this BS is the way society is forced to realize that agriculture is built on exploitation, this isn’t meant to be a “both sides” moment but neither Reps nor Dems ever really cared about this. It was just always hypocritical to hate on the undocumented while relying on them

However, we all know that this administration will find the worst and inhumane way to deal with the situation.

Agreed. But he’s also an abrasive know-it-all. A modicum of social skills and respect goes a long way towards making others accept your pet projects.

This isn’t what I get when reading bug reports he interacts in. Yeah, sometimes he asks if something can’t be done another way – but he seems also very open to new ideas. I rather think that this opinion of him is very selective, there are cases where he comes off as smug, but I never got the impression this is the majority of cases.

I wasn’t talking about the protocol, I was talking about the implementation: PulseAudio is a crashy, unstable POS. I can’t count the number of hours this turd made me waste, until PipeWire came along.

PipeWire for audio couldn’t exist nowadays without PulseAudio though, in fact it was originally created as “PulseAudio for Video”; Pulse exposed a lot of bugs in the lower levels of the Linux audio stack. And I do agree that PipeWire is better than PulseAudio. But it’s important to see it in the context of the time it was created in, and Linux audio back then was certainly different. OSS was actually something a significant amount of people used…

Prohibition and the war on drugs sure worked out well when they were implemented. Surely this time …

This isn’t about making it legal, but about requiring age verification. To bring it closer to your example: stores shouldn’t check your she when buying booze, selling to everyone because if minors don’t get it there, they’ll get moonshine somewhere else, which is worse.

This is true, unfortunately some Linux users have been conditioned to “just turn off Secure Boot” without understanding what this actually means and entails.

Think that’s called NATing
