  • There are different types of users. Those who want something to work out of the box and those who like to put in the work to make the os into something personal. Usually, at least with the people I’ve come across, if you give them something the “works” but if they can tinker and make it better they’d learn. Now, not everybody is like that. Some just want to browse the Internet and play games. Flatpak, while not perfect, is a solution to a problem. Not everybody wants to adjust config files and/or configure wine bottles for every game.

    As for your comment about drobbins… I can’t argue. The greatest thing about Linux is the freedom to use what ever distro works for your needs. If switching from one because it doesn’t do what you want, by all means, switch. But, if you are more computer literate and like to learn about how the os actually works; it doesn’t matter which distro, you can figure out how to fix the problem and contribute to the community so others can fix it too.


  • Ah, typical Arch user response. “Everything is bloat. Stop having fun.” If it works for somebody else, let them. I get where you’re coming from, needlessly adding things because you can, leads to enshittification. But, trying new ways of doing things is the whole point. If it works and the majority of people use it then it succeeded. Bloat or not, if it gets new users to switch then it’s a net positive. Plus, Gentoo>Arch. If you don’t use custom flags and debloat the kernel you’re argument is invalid.




  • I would love to see all of our trading partners just sanction us. Treat us like North Korea, let’s see how Trump will act when no trading is allowed. No negotiations, just cut us off. I know how much it’ll hurt; but, I’m getting sick and tired of the dipshits thinking that we’re untouchable. Like we’re God’s gift and that the world would shut down without us. Sure, there might be a hiccup in trade for every other country, but it’s most likely one of the few ways that will make people realize just how much we depend on other countries.

    The US doesn’t have the infrastructure to support its citizens. Gone are the days of good American products. Make us suffer.







  • Trump reminds me of Charlie Sheen. Trump is always"winning", hangs out with pornstars, and his ego is so inflated that Freud would quit doing cocaine. Trump needs to be treated like Reagan was. Like, when the secret service would place leaves in the pool. But, in this case, give him a room with a camera and tell him that he matters. But it broadcasts to nobody.





  • I know it sounds harsh, but I hope they don’t come back. If they get treated like this once and then get the “opportunity” to come back on a provisional basis what’s going to stop this administration from making camps where they are allowed to live only to work on a farm with no time off? What about the off seasons? Do they still get to stay? The ones who’ve left are the lucky ones. If history has taught us anything is that deporting en mass is just the first step. If nothing causes a major change in leadership, well, it’s been a good run. Hopefully, from the ashes rises something better.
