If your standard for being an elitist is that people can be bothered saying/knowing their distro’s name then the bar is on the floor and the criticism is worthless.

Maybe try re-reading what I wrote?

The standard is “assuming using a specific distro’s name makes them better somehow”, because you think that someone could be ashamed of admitting what distro they’re actually using.

This is just wrong. Its terrible etiquette to go on the arch forum and ask for help and not mention that you’re on cachyOS?

Again, re-read what I wrote. I didn’t say “troubleshooting”, I said “troubleshooting packages”. CachyOS uses pacman, and Cachy users install stuff from AUR exactly the same as Arch-Arch users.

You probably think im an eltist because i dont call this place reddit when someone asks what im browsing.

If this place used Reddit’s infrastructure, and was essentially a skin with a couple of extensions added on top, and if you were discussing generic social-media themes, yeah, it wouldn’t be a problem to call it Reddit.

But since Lemmy is none of that, it would make no sense, it’s fundamentally different.

Visiting the Store via Heroic adds Heroic’s affiliate link, so they get a bit of money for every purchase you make there.

I think reinventing the wheel is pointless. Just indicate that Heroic Games Launcher fully supports GOG, put that on GOG’s website, job done.

achievements have been a monumentally bad thing for gaming and culture

LOL, I’m sorry, what? :D

Please elaborate!

You mean the Kung Führer?

It means they are ashamed of the distro they run.

See? You are being elitist. Your first thought is that they hope to elevate themselves somehow by saying they use Arch.

When they might just not be bothered (or don’t know) to say “Arch-based”. Because ultimately, there’s no difference. When you’re troubleshooting packages, or whatever, there’s no functional difference between saying “It’s Arch” and “It’s WhateverTheFuck OS (Arch-based)”. The latter just takes more time to type out.

If you want to go around telling people you use arch

See this? You think people go around telling other what distro they’re using. You are elitist. It’s just an OS, bro.

I think you just need to stop being elitist about it.

Who cares? Honestly - who cares how someone installed their OS? We should be doing everything to get people to switch to Linux (of any flavour), but instead dudes like you go “oh, you have XYZ OS? Well, that’s not really Arch, is it?” What even is the point?

love garuda

An equivalent of Rani should legally mandated to be on all Arch-based distros.

US and UK weren’t one country. US was a UK colony

Yeah, so exactly as with USSR and Ukraine.

that’s why they celebrate independence day

Yeah, so exactly as with USSR and Ukraine.

The only reason Ukraine and Taiwan want to separate from Russia and China respectively is because of American interference

Nobody gave a shit about Americans in Ukraine when the Orange Revolution happened, or during the Maidan Protests. They just wanted democracy and re-integration with the West.

One more time: Ukraine was an independent country around 400 years before Muscovy (proto-russia) became a thing. It got gobbled up by the various superpowers of the area, but always retained its national identity. Culturally, there’s a very clear continuation from the Kyivan Rus all the way to modern day Ukraine.

You might as well suggest that the Scottish independence movements exist because of “American interference”, even though they existed for hundreds of years before the American Independence.

You’re just repeating russian propaganda points verbatim, so I don’t know if you’re this ignorant, or a russian bot. If it’s ignorance, feel free to ask questions, I know lots of people are super confused with what’s going on in Ukraine and that area due to russian disinformation campaigns.

US and UK used to be one country. Should US now become subservient to the UK based on that?

Are you high, friend? They speak Ukrainian, it’s a completely different language. Similar, but different.

Imagine you’re suggesting that Spain is “basically Brazil” because they “speak Portuguese”.

Calling Ukraine “new” just shows how ignorant you are. Kievan Rus has been around since 11th century. Ukraine is older than russia by 3-4 hundred years.

and it is a former USSR territory

So is half the EU. What’s this got to do with anything?

That’s because 90% of these articles about their technological breakthroughs are bullsht.

Nothing they’ve done in recent years is ground breaking.

Room temperature superconductors? Fake.

Self-driving bus using painted lanes for navigation? We have trains and trams for that.

Thorium reactor? Germany had one in the 80s, shut it down because it was expensive, there’s around 20 different projects happening in Europe and North America to make it more efficient.

The fusion reactor from the article? They maybe potentially hypothetically achieved one breakthrough of the dozens still needed to make fusion viable.

Etc., etc.

This is real sad news. I was hoping it would allow for a “Intune-like” experience for people, where they’d just download the configs dynamically as needed.

Wow, thank you for this comment! I was pondering maybe setting up a trial for NixOS at work, but now I see we just don’t have the manpower to handle that.

Are we counting the world’s industry into “the world’s richest 10%”? Because, last I checked, random dudes in mom-and-pop shops also ordered cheap items from China or India.

The idea of a “category” is inherently human. Just like “objective” and “criteria”.

Which means there is objective criteria for what is categorised as a planet - it’s whatever we, humans, define them to be.

Because that sentence doesn’t really make sense. “Criteria” is a human concept. Nature doesn’t do “criteria”, nor “objective” for that matter. So, yes, there’s no “natural criteria” for when something is X or Y, we, humans, make those criteria. Doesn’t matter if it’s in relation to animals, plants, or planets.
