As an ESL, I thought that was “narcs”?

Lembipie. What else?

(And why does this particular subset need a name, anyway? The plus combo is easier to get the point across with)

, and the worst thing he does is

…to farm dead veterans and turn them into cyborg soldiers solely so that he can antagonize Mark and (fail to) make a point about how “above things” he has to be?

Oh and he tapped the water supply of the entire country. Possibly the entire world, who knows. Anyone who’s read Batman “protocol” stories how where do those “preparations” lead and how.

That and teleporter abuse, but he’s earned that.

At the cost that has been calculated by the fanbase, in the apparent economy of cities being destroyed on the double? Okay that one I might be willing to concede.

What? That was the best part– no wait, the ONLY GOOD PART, of the second prequel!

, but then he realizes what a bad idea it is and changes to Cap’s side

No he doesn’t; he just realizes that it personally inconveniences him because it gets his (only) moral tether killed, and decides to walk back that support to restore his own benefit, at the cost and harm of everyone else.

This meme from the late 90s is still going? It’s honestly an impressive record.

if you have to list more than one thing per thing the landscape may not be there for a full replacement

And it would be even less if there had to be only one thing per thing.

One of the strengths of the FOSS metacommunity is the variety in designs and results. Big Corpo abuses economies of scale and locks you in with a “one shoe fits all solution” because they under the table also chisel and file your feet; FOSS has (largely) no such restrictions so they can afford to try things and see what results and, more importantly, what evolves. Not everything has to be a copy of corporate, and we shouldn’t act as if it had to be.

Alpine? How does it do? I’ve heard it’s pretty good for containers but at the same time some reasonable complaints for end-user workflows such as “it doesn’t even have locales”.

True, how could I!

Ironically and not, that’s exactly what Iron Man brought Nu-Spiderman to do in the CW movie. Government is crying about control, so a war profiteer recruits, illegally extricates from the country, arms and indoctrinates a kid to collaborate in a paramilitary action to oppress the following groups represented: war veterans, the elderly, women, foreigners, scientists, disabled, performance athletes, amputees and people seeking asylum.

Geez. Considering the previous movie was about a nazi takeover of the US, seems like someone shoud have seen things coming!

In this economy???

I understand the concern to be honest. The problem here is that when someone is a bigot and they are at least reasonable enough to walk themselves out, the response of the community is to stain everyone else by association.

Trust is not associative, and tbh distrust probably should also not be.

Considering that from my own experience systemd tends to increment boot times by a factor of about 20x due to insisting about things like raising a wifi interface that won’t ever connect because you’re later on supposed to plug in the wifi password (no save to store), which is an outright historic systemd problem, I wonder: is systemd-anamyze blame at least honest enough to recognize the fault is in its own design, or will it always blame it on something else in the system?

For me it’d be two aspects:

1. lack of knowledge and clarity whether my use case is affected and to what degree.
2. worry over the extra operational overhead.

For (1), it’s not necessarily about the explicit workflow, like the GUI apps and stuff; but also the implicit workflow as well: the stuff going on with the machine because you are not touching it (even if it is because you’ve touched it before).

Some examples. I need to forbid PA and have either ALSA or Pipewire (or both) with alsa-ucf disabled because of a hardware bug in my machine’s audio chipset. I can one-time accommodate the required kernel boot time options and ALSA configs without issue on Debian, can I do that on an immutable? Am I forced to the barely-progressing-past-failure that is wayland, or can I use the Xorg setup that has for decades proven to me to work? Do I get to escape the enforced GTK compose key mapping on my own, or do I need to break immutableness to fix it? Can the programs that I launch through wine on the user account I set up for work, interact with the apps I have on my normal user’s desktop (incl. copy-paste, desktop screenshots, sending global key events for stuff like Teamviewer, Supremo, Anydesk), or do I need to fall back to a Virtualbox VM?

And for (2), it’s quite simple. I have a 8 GB RAM machine. I’m barely managing to survive this world of nu-web development where hello world apps download 150 MB of a typokit SDK from Cloudflare or something. If an immutable environment means that everything even the Linux equivalent of W95’s notepad.exe is now containerized, that’s an extra memory and resource overhead that my system likely can not serve and that I don’t really have an use for anyway (why would I want a text editor to not load up a text file I told it to load???).

You mean XMPP, right?

Nah, I chose DDG and got a better result, but thanks!

Good try, but I don’t read MBA hallucinations or AI slop.

Is this even true or just a myth? From what I know, law doesn’t actually mandate people to be jerkasses. Also at least in sane countries, you can’t trademark words that are in the dictionary like “hoard” or “hoarder”, since by definition they have prior art.
