I mean, VHEMT is a great ideology and ever, but the dude seems to have missed the “voluntary” part.

Quite simple, actually. If you want to do a thing that violates a law, you modify the law to allow the thing.

Huh, checked out their noun genders, and those are quite interesting: 2 genders, but common and neuter instead of masculine and feminine. So out goes that theory

Lmao, a weird choice of a hill to die on. Although, given I’ve seen ppl refer to a user account as “he” exactly 0 times before that, I suspect the dev may speak smth like French natively, where everything is either male or female.

That said, i’d rather use “it” instead of “they”, given an account (and anon one at that) is not a person.

I still like pacman’s syntax the most due to it being close to what one expects from a normal cli program. Also, I’m lazy, and pacman -Syu, for example, is way faster to type than apt update && apt upgrade.

Tnx, will check it out!

Allrighty, a poor choice of words, then. What I meant was more or less along the lines of “while I like the idea of communism, I think maintaining vertical power structures while trying to make it happen is more or less doomed to result in yet another autocracy”

Sorry to disappoint, but I’m not exactly into Marxism-Leninism, I’m more of an anarchist myself (the idea of dictatorship, be it of a working class or anyone else, doesn’t sit right with me). And ml was chosen at the time just due to it being hosted by the Lemmy devs

You can argue with communists, you can’t argue with fanboys or those who accepted Marx as the one and true Messiah and tell you to read ze book instead of providing any points. But that’s applicable to pretty much every topic (oop bad, for example).

It’s all fun and games until some manjaro user starts asking about manjaro-specific f-ups in an arch chat and telling users there that apparently it’s the same when told such f-ups are discussed in a chat next-door

Yeah, those mailing lists used to have some quite funny stuff; my favorite so far is smth along the lines of “whoever thought this was a good idea should be retroactively aborted”.

But, on the other hand, damn it’s toxic. Should’ve really sucked to work on the kernel back then.

Huh, so that’s why Hurd doesn’t work? They just expected it to run on some alien tech?
