“it’s weird and should be more stigmatized” that seems to be making a moral claim right? I guess you never explicitly said that it’s because it’s weird that it should be stigmatized, but it certainly seemed to be structured like that.

And ah maybe I misunderstood, what you were saying just sounds like how a lot of ppl talk about it on the vegan forums I used to regular, lmao.

I don’t think “it’s weird therefore bad” is a good argument. If you’re gonna argue for veganism (which I don’t have a problem work doing!) I think there are way, way better reasons.

But in this analogy, instead of disabling the ink/internet, they disabled your entire printer/computer. They didn’t withold further service, they actively made something this person already owns useless through a malicious backdoor.

But pirates aren’t taking anything

I think that’s dumb and they all very obviously look like they’re in their 20s 🤷‍♀️.

No they don’t?

I’m curious to know what arch-based distro you’re talking about?

Can’t speak for the person you’re responding to, but honestly no, not really? Like, of course it’s a big deal that this stuff happens, but it’s so common that every individual story just seems obvious. It should def be recorded when we find those instances if not just for proof, but I personally just don’t care about seeing it my news. Especially when it seems pretty off topic for the technology sub.

I mean, I definitely consider my patched DWM as part of my dotfiles, just one that happens to be compiled. And if I can 1-up your pedantry, mine is in .local so it is literally in my "dot"files :P.

I don’t think I’d necessarily agree with that, but just to note, op is recommending the BSDs, not Linux.

I think that’s ridiculous. I vastly prefer FOSS and so I won’t use this, but clearly professional software being ported to Linux is a big deal for Linux and its userbase.

Should we ban discussion about any distro that’s not certified by the FSF? Should we ban news about proprietary Nvidia drivers?

I’m a nihilist and I don’t think that’s true whatsoever. At least to be a moral nihilist, it just means I don’t believe in any metaethical framework (no “oughts”)

Regardless of whether or not I think killing me would have or create some objectively bad property, I have an egotistical attachment to living, and of course I’m going to try to avoid it.

My ethics and my desires are related but different.

This seems like a very reasonable and pretty tame warning?

Wanting to restrict the rights of minorites isn’t a valid position. It’s vile and worthy of hatred.

That’s a lie that the US government has desperately been trying to push for decades. The creation and detonation of nukes was an entirely avoidale atrocity.

Afaik arch doesn’t apply any theming to any of the DEs/WMs in the repos, just their defaults
