  • Someone would have to be pretty provoked to want that for someone else who isn’t a dick like me. What we’re seeing here for provocation is the systematically terrible things Mr Musk and other elities have done in the name of profit or power.

    There’s a certain point where gluttony becomes so egregious that it’s probably due to something illegal or highly immoral.

    We should have a trial, I guess.







  • Absolutely this.

    33 years in Linux, 30+ professionally, Unix+Linux security background in a past life at a fucking distro.

    When I first install a new distro version, I do something very simple; maybe I configure a simple web page, for instance.

    Usually the web server refuses to start, or something equally “so dumb it should have been seen in early testing and doesn’t even get to the challenge I set before it” stupid. If the distro can’t test something so basic, then I know they’re not prepared to consider selinux implications while maintaining or debugging the distro. I don’t need to blaze a trail the distro can’t be arsed to.

    Then I mod away the config in my template and hope the distro can pull out their proverbial head in 5 years.

    The easiest path needs to be the safest path

    But the moment after showing LPs had this trope, it suggests album purchases – which had this trope.

    I bought Finger Eleven, wanting an album of Paralyzed. I bought Mezzanine, wanting 10 tracks of Dissolved Girl.

    In each case I got something else which eventually grew on me for the artistry it was, but in the moment I felt hoodwinked.
