I know he's said a lot of idiotic shit lately but... seriously? He actually said this? Jesus Christ. He truly has reverted into a lonely 4Chan teen.

And guess what? It won't break like your over-complex Arch desktop because it doesn't need to be.

Also, with large vehicles more generally, there's this awful snowball effect where people go "I get to sit up high and it's bigger, so I feel safer! Besides, when I'm in a regular car I feel like I'm going to get crushed like a beer can."

This of course ignores that:

1. Pedestrians are fucked
2. With everyone buying bigger, heavier vehicles, the energy involved in most collisions is significantly greater and I doubt anyone's much safer for it. People in smaller cars just get screwed.

It's not even just "political", it is politics. Deciding to collaboratively make an operating system (infrastructure, practically) which is free for everyone and asking anyone using it to help out is doing politics, at least in a world where people are politically motivated to restrict people's ability to go and do that somehow.

Que people arguing about GNU's importance / self-inflated importance or whatever

God the religion vs. faith thing, I'm glad to see someone articulate it. It's bizarre to me how many people are seemingly super hardcore into their religion as a social club, but if you observe them closely they come across like "believing it" is just a game they play for the sake of staying in.

...I mean, it's more like the web browser makes it easy to use the Tor network. The network is the slow part. Your requests are getting ping-ponged all over the world intentionally taking the long way around.

I mean, I've used it. It works. But I don't get why you would bother most of the time. It's slow as hell and while I'm generally fairly concerned about my privacy there is a point where I can't be bothered.

FOSS software is developed in such a way that you can build it yourself freely (In other words, you can download the source code and compile the actual application yourself, free of charge). Obsidian doesn't really work that way. Even if most of the code is available, the full app is only available as prepackaged binaries which might introduce god knows what (and make forking the application impossible).

Seriously, ArchWiki has taught me most of what I know about Linux.

Well, by just searching topics in the search bar you can typically find instances related to the search. You need to click the "chain" icon rather than the "federated star" icon to view the post "from your instance" and stay on your personal account.

This is why I just dual-boot. Keep Windows on a short leash and basically just have it for the rare instances where there's something I really want to play and somehow can't on Linux.
