Found more context, for who is now curious:

  • Apparently threatening violence with guns is okay (just got marked as "off-topic").
  • The maintainer of X11Libre, Enrico Weigelt, is an anti-vaxer who already got scolded by Torvalds for writing bullshit on the kernel mailing list

The more I read into X11Libre, the more I'm laughing. Now the freedesktop ban also makes perfect sense.

I really wish everyone thought like that, but I still see people recommending Nix, Arch, Void… and some go the ideological route and start recommending systemd-less only like Artix or ranting against anything that uses Flatpak. Those discussions can get messy, and they always alienate the person who asked. Unfortunately those with ideological reasons are always the loudest and present in basically every "Beginner's Help" group.

I had a doctor call in students to look at a huge ball on my neck while I was waiting in the ER for my diagnosis. They shoveled my into different devices 3 times, at one point I saw 7 people crammed into the CT diagnostic room which was obviously made for not more than 3. Turned out I was an excellent example for a (at that point merely assumed) Stage 1 Lymphoma.

Happened about 8 years ago, am healthy now (thank you fellow german taxpayers 👍). Btw, don't hesitate to ask for THC in the hospital if you suffer brutal Nausea & Emesis during chemo, it really helped me.

If I had a dollar for every time the Nvidia driver screwed me over I still couldn't order anything with it because my graphics driver wouldn't load.

Glad I could help.

Love how this meme once again shows a Linux terminal command (that only works on specific distros) instead of what most users would want (which would work on almost any user-friendly distro), the button in the File Manager to add the network share to your left sidebar.

Somehow people still believe CLI commands are superior, meanwhile people who just want to get Linux-unrelated shit done (that isn't IT-related either) don't understand what exactly happens here and won't be able to permanently add the share to their file browser this way. Y'know, the way most people would use it in their daily workflow.

Where Apple fails in proper software integration, Linux fails in feature communication. Instead of properly integrating features (Apple) or providing/focusing on doing things intuitively and accessibly (Linux), both want the user to start thinking their way. And I fucking hate it, it prevents Linux from becoming more popular.

Non-destructive editing was way, way more important. Shapes can be done differently anyway.

That's a really bad argument given one of those chambers is literally run by, and full of, nazis.

This. It's a good distro to base something else on (like SteamOS), and therefore good to learn how distros work without the need to even now how software as a whole works (that would be Gentoo).

It's however horribly unstable, finicky and time-consuming as a daily driver as all the tiny adjustments and pre-configuration other distros make are missing by design.

It's good if you want to become the soldier.

Linux users don't trust telemetry, but sending useful information first try is hard too.

No, he's part of the US oligarchy. Don't criticize too much or you might happen to have sudden, unexplainable tech problems and legal trouble. /s

I'm super grateful in this regard to live in Germany, where free doctor visits are not a benefit of something but fucking minimum for literally everyone. Even though it may take a while for specialists. I even get benefits for going to free appointments at the dentist. Safes money and pain later, leading to more productiveness as well.

Was really weird watching "Breaking Bad" just as I had cancer myself years ago (Cancer-free today 🙂). Being in a hospital, receiving anything I needed just by showing my insurance card (for which I didn't have to pay anything either as I was without a job at that point). And as long as our government ain't complete dicks I'm more than glad to pay that back.

The US just weirds me the fuck out. I don't get this selfish lack of solidarity towards your fellow humans.

Personalized propaganda is quite something these days.
