Nazis tie trans people to railroad tracks and choose to run them over and you’re saying Nazis aren’t transphobic. There’s not a finite number of tracks. They chose who they were killing. The fact is that they chose to kill trans people. They didn’t have to (they didn’t have to kill anyone), but they did.

I mean, its useful regardless of the OS. When my Windows install broke and a system image restore got botched it was useful having a laptop.

I’m surprised it isn’t the norm to have a hook that checks it as part of pacman updating.

Use EndeavousOS instead because the initial install process is simpler.

I view it as a thought terminating cliché people use when they’re too lazy ti fully explain themselves. It can be useful for things that are truly obvious, like if you try touching something fresh out of the stove without protection you’ll get burned, it doesn’t really add anything to bother explaining it.

Fittest for the purpose of being chosen by farmers to participate in breeding.

When you say “I wouldn’t classify transphobia as nazism.” It feels like you’re aware that people use the term Nazi to refer to far right extremists who are not literal members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, but then why would you think transphobia is not associated with nazism? Even then, literal WW2 Nazi Party Nazis were transphobic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_people_in_Nazi_Germany Far right Nazis of today are transphobic too. Believing transwomen are men sneaking into bathrooms to prey on women being a common example.

This is far from someone just seeing an opinion they dislike and comparing it to Nazism.

Y’all still have aunt jemima? They rebranded here to pearl milling recently.

Well, my syrup is made from corn, so…

I feel like a better punchline might be something like “Hand washing is bloat”. I’ve heard this joke a million times in different formats. Marines versus Navy is the first that comes to mind.

Awesome! Thanks so much. This has been helpful. I reinstalled the package and chose to keep the build dependencies. When I run pacman -Qii foo (where foo is the thing from makedepends) I can see that is is required by nothing. Also, pacman -Qtd shows it as an orphan (as expected). This is perfect and exactly what I was trying to figure out. I can “safely” (not that there would’ve been danger) keep these dependencies without the package managers being fooled into thinking they’re actually needed to run the thing once installed.

Nice, this is insightful, how can I see what the make dependencies of the AUR package are? I can compare it with this output and know for sure.

I’m most worried about having packages installed that my package manager thinks I intentionally installed and won’t auto remove. I’m not super into having a “minimal” system, so I don’t care if they sit around “unneeded”, but I want to make sure they’re gonna get removed if I remove the thing they were needed to build. Does that make sense?

I had some very similar feelings after the 2020 election cycle and COVID stuff. This VSauce video came out around the same time and, unironically I guess, helped convince me of some stuff I’d started to realize with regards to changing people’s minds. https://youtu.be/_ArVh3Cj9rw

I use 1password. It’s fine. I haven’t tried much other stuff, but it works well, but I don’t think there is a free option so it might not be a good pick. There is also Google Authenticator which works fine and is free.

When it forces you to log in to view stuff, it’s usefulness as a platform for announcements is substantially lessened.

This is a “not the onion” level headline, holy shit

let alone being required to use them for schoolwork.

I was born in 1991. In elementary school I had assignments that required a computer. This is not new.

The size of the latest version of articles (no history) and without any media (pictures and videos) is pretty small. It’s less than 200 GB.

People think of hacking like a thief with a lockpick. It’s oftentimes more like someone methodically checking every door in the neighborhood for any that are unlocked.
