yeah sysctl > regedit

'tis a meme… ;)

the real question is whether you use git variants. Which is another way of not making arch (and Gentoo) certainly not free as in free beer, especially if you live in Europe and need to deal with those outrageous energy prices. btw imo one should be suspicious of projects with long tagged release cadence since it’s usually a sign of technical debt and the need to look for alternatives.

The X server has to be the biggest program I’ve ever seen that doesn’t do anything for you.

I see Wayland’s flaws but X is such a bloated piece of hardly maintainable spaghetti code that it is sadly beyond saving or prospects for anything in terms of significant improvement

well in this particular case it’s initramfs’ fault for not designing for all-or-nothing atomicity (a operation either completes fully or not at all). which you can work around with a terminal multiplexer where a session can be re-attached later in such cases btw.

well in my experience it was opensuse tumbleweed or Manjaro that were significantly less stable, but perhaps my perception is a little bit skewed since I use artix and it’s certainly not too rarely just the bloated, tightly coupled nature of shitstemd that causes some of arch’s issues.

XMPP is better despite it’s flaws privacy-wise, since so much data gets “hogged back” to matrix.org (tbf it’s a similar case with lemmy.world but Lemmy at least didn’t receive funding from a company most likely linked to Mosad). Also has more lightweight servers in general.

does it federate? 🦊

Good that you’ve enjoyed it. But a fundamentally wrong thing about systemd is that it is actively harming the best thing about Linux – freedom. Some programs won’t work on a non-systemd distro because how tightly coupled and vendor non-agnostic anything that becomes dependent on might become at times. Of course it’s not as bad as glib(loat)c, but still if something can be done without any degradation of functionality via standard POSIX facilities, WHY either incur additional maintenance overhead for non-systemd implementations or punish people for their computing choices if there’s no one to maintain it?

systemd is more like, uhh, ignition that takes care of way too many things beyond starting the engine

*devuan, artix or alpine

*keys and *omas are more fun though. mastodon’s way too businesslike to encourage a fair share of people to pick it over shitter (it works other way around as well tho)

This. Y’all should checkout Saintdrew’s discussion on crops

I’d like to interject

oh. they are a part of IMT. Besides what’s on the map, a Bolivian and Belarusian sections are being formed.

Lemme tell you a story. In the last parliamentary election in Poland in October we had a record high turnout of 73% or so. This only emboldened the liberals and the pseudo-left to introduce lower health insurance contributions for the capitalists and tax breaks for IT sector but lift the food VAT cancellation despite some product categories still being affected by an inflation rate of up to 20% and gas and electricity prices freeze. Which is actually being justified by the “socdem” ruling triumvirate partner instead of them standing against it. But ig for them idpol matters much more than standing for poor people. Then they’re fucking surprised they vote for social conservatives. Just like many Trump voters who are not right-wing extremists but just disillusioned proletarians with false consciousness.

Recently state TV invited fucking landlords to discuss how to deal with non-paying tenants to a morning TV. On the contrary, the so hated social conservative PiS government has at least managed to introduce a vacant property tax. Now under the glorious liberal regime we can expect the rent to still gobble up more than a half of a large part of the population’s salary. Yay! So progressive, so European, so democratic! 🥰🎉✌️

Women’s rights were the hallmark of their campaign, but we still have one of the most barbaric laws regarding abortion and emergency contraception access in Europe due to the centre-right coalition partner torpedoing any change in this respect – hey, how is doing anything about Roe v. Wade being overturned going?

Also militarism. Both of them (Biden and Trump) will waste massive amounts of taxpayer and printed money on producing fucking scrap metal death machines. But Biden is actually more hawkish. In Poland we are already spending 4% of our GDP (twice the NATO target!) on that and in the past few years it increased by like 260%. All of this despite Russia actually virtually not increasing it’s military spending and incessant media reports about how they are using 50 year old equipment in Ukraine.

So many people fell totally duped in Poland right now, and rightly so. Now the hope lies in the streets, in the radicalization of women’s protests and gathering storm for a strike wave. Government of the rich, for the rich won’t do shit for the working class unless they feel fear. Luckily the farmers’ protests have shown the way to go.

then get organized. Check out Revolutionary Communists of America, they might have a chapter in your city already. An individual can do nothing, but a collective can do everything.
