My Irish American family is a lot like this. One of my favorites that I only use with them goes something like this:

Getting old sucks, and I cannot in good conscience recommend it.

“Moving forward at a rate of 1 second per second.”

Usually at work, in meetings.

And don’t forget the .so or socialist order files.

Let’s be real. For Biden it was nothing more than thumbing his nose at Trump, because he knew that Trump would act like a 13-year-old and try to reverse everything his predecessor did.

Musk sent a powerful message to all Tesla owners with this stunt. I hope everyone’s listening.

Probably true, but Arch being what it is, there’s still the option to install sysvinit or whatever. The question remains - how important is NOT using systemd to the admin in question?

My team unanimously dumped various jetbrains products a couple of years ago when a particular event started, on the urging of just one QA engineer. Made no utilitarian sense whatsoever, but it made them feel warm and cozy.

Gentoo, Arch, and their derivatives still exist. How important is a legacy init system to you?

Best practices change. For example, no one is still recommending manually editing the CHS start of a boot partition on your spinning rust device in order to optimize throughput.

Legal eagle on YouTube and nebula has a recent video on this very subject. Short form? It’s over.

Vote as if there weren’t two full sets of electors insulating you from the actual outcome.

Funny thing is, I did neither of those things the last time I had need to install; the script handled it for me.

Where, precisely, did I say it was? No system is secure. Some attempt to promote security by design and practice, and some make it all too easy to give up security in the name of entertainment.

Today I learned that simply allowing somebody else to be and look like they want to is privilege. Pray tell, kind being, how does one avoid this sort of privilege? Should I be pushing my opinion on everything with ears?

Windows is also really good at running kernel-based rootkits disguised as anti cheat. That’s something else Linux can’t do!

Pretty slim pickings there, but I can’t especially disagree. The point of the question really was to allow the poster to explain a very specific implication they made.

Yep. And I’m not against going to basic lynx when needed. But the person I responded to made a very specific implication, and I’d like their opinion.

Allow me to expand my point. If you are using a computing device of any type, you are using the fruits of the labor of IBM, Xerox, and AT&t from the 1950s and 1960s. That means, by your argument, you are glorifying racism, homophobia, sexual assault and xenophobia among other things. You should definitely get off the internet.

What do non-trumpets but still privacy focused people in your circles use?

I might suggest getting off the internet and finding a completely self-sufficient lifestyle then. I guarantee you there are people that you would disagree with in person, in every supply chain.
