Us neither, I just converted

They’re all screwing you over so bad, it’s 1,20€ in my country

This entire tipping thing is terrible - including for dashers themselves.

It means dashers income heavily relies on strangers being kind enough to leave some extra.

It means customers are gonna feel bad for not paying more than their order amount (and they probably will pay the tip)

It means company can employ slave labor for extremely low pay and still have people willing to do this.

Tipping benefits only one party - the companies. We need to stop it.

There is a demand, and there is a supply. Decentralization trends lead more and more people to self-host, and you can’t get around it any other way.

But also self-hosted (the central server, i.e. “lighthouse”) and open-source

Recommending Linux is good; forcing it down someone’s throat is not.

If parents are just comfy using Windows, it’ll get them super frustrated when they’ll face new issues coming from Linux use, as you just can’t turn Linux into Windows and they never asked for it.

Now, if they complain about all the shit Windows throws at them, you can offer an alternative.

Sounds like a call for googling

When they didn’t come for neo-nazis, neo-nazis came for you.

Game is decent; anti-cheat is invasive Orwellian piece of trash.

Man that’s news from 2016, like, it’s a bit rare occasion, y’know. You’re way more likely to get borked by Arch even after reading all the instructions, and it did happen numerous times.

Touching grass is what I do when you take steps to intervene in your system to make an update work.

I see you are an Arch maximalist, but that goes beyond reason. Even Arch proponents are normally not as aggressive on the topic, and admit Arch is too complicated in that regard.

A fully functional system, just like any other normal OS?

You hit update - boom - you get one, seamlessly, with no breakages and no other user interaction. And that’s how it works pretty much everywhere - except, you know, Arch.

If you’re fine with it - that’s fine, go ahead and tinker all you like. But don’t expect others to have the same priorities.

True, but that’s another story. Being communist doesn’t mean being a tankie. Some communists are, some aren’t, and as such conflating the two is wrong.

Communism isn’t inherently authoritarian, it holds no relation to authoritarianism or democracy, just like capitalism, and can exist within any political formation. Conflating communism with authoritarianism and capitalism with democracy will likely result in completely justified dictionary arguments, as this misconception is actually very important ideologically.

Associating communism with things like USSR or, in an even more cursed way, China and claiming communism is authoritarian is actively harmful, especially considering that neither of them ever had communism to begin with - they had socialism and claimed to be directed towards communism some time in the future.

Such shortcuts, like communism=authoritarianism=evil prevent you from actually familiarizing yourself with the concepts and puts you in a position when you oppose a strawman.

True, but if snapshots turn from first line of catastrophe response to a regular tool, this is not a good experience.

Also I believe Garuda has enabled snapshots and btrfs by default.

Useful, but still it kinda makes you read through all the update news, which is…why?

I’d like to just hit update and not bother.

My brother is a Linux first-timer, and he specifically asked me to install Debian after I explained that it’s stability-focused, but as such sacrifices functional updates and is only globally updated once every two years.

Some people need latest and greatest (i.e. here’s your Arch), some need stability over everything (i.e. here’s your Debian), some don’t need extremes and strike a balance somewhere in between (i.e. everything else).

I use Manjaro (Arch-based) on main PC and Debian on a work laptop. Main PC should better enjoy all the benefits of all things new (while standing a week or two behind bleeding-edge to not cut itself, which is Manjaro’s selling point) while work laptop is mission critical and can work perfectly fine with what Debian has to offer, so, Debian it is.

Arch is easy to install; it’s a headache to manage.

If you want a stable Arch, you need to check the updates and take very granular control over packages and versioning.

While some nerds may like tinkering with their system in all those ways, for regular user Arch is simply too much effort to maintain.
