How do you differentiate whataboutism from highlighting the antichinese hypocrisy?
Us a surveillance state good? No. Is a commercial surveillance society good? Also no.
Is targeting minorities for dedication good? Not from my perspective.
Is targeting minorities for incarceration keeping said minority poorer? Also not from my perspective.
It's not whataboutism is that many people forget they are living in a distopian society with out realizing it.
When you have a charger owner and a charger and the only smart thing is the charger 🤣
He knows how things work "we do as we please" they are not done the way she thinks "we do it as the law and rules say".
Bless his heart.
I mean..mine was theoretically usable. But practically, it was compiling all the time.
I really don't understand how can people use it. I really tried.
I had Gentoo as primary for 6 months. 6 months of an unusable computer always compiling.
I did a bit of LFS and while I didn't get to a full desktop, it helped a lot.
Well, Slackware was a main distro two or three decades ago. I give you that. Il pretty sure that's what I installed when I installed my first Linux mid/early 99's.
Gentoo has always been niche.
I'm very choosy with AUR. I know people hail it as the holy grail but the lack of vetting makes it "delicate".
This is, in the best of cases, what's being packaged hasn't been properly tested. In the worst, you really need to read the package file and understand it enough to confirm you can trust the sources or risk being surprised.
Went to the class. Obviously, 3 hours is wetting my toes, but I wonder why I didn't do it before!
At least I know that I learnt a bit of flat joining and that I would need to learn other techniques for vertical welding, angle welding and others. I hadn't realized there were differences.
I hope others chime in with advice of tips and things to focus on.
In that thought experiment there are more scenarios. Remembering that stepping on a butterfly can change... This is, small input changes can have big repercussions down the line.
You cannot assume what Linux would be in that scenario.
Who knows if it would have been colored by a main corporation.
Capitalism would have found a way to leverage it and new computers would be sold.
So, it's the worst for you and still the best for others, right?
Arch is the worst because... And the best because...
Same with every other.
In fact I'd argue that every single distro is the best for at least one person.
More, if you read between the lines.
The whataboutism going on on a single direction is easily explainable.
If we live in a "western country" criticism of surveillance in our country is our focus. If you mention surveillance in China. Still surveillance in our country is our focus. As in "we live here, why are you focusing there".
