Tech IS politics. Tim Cook manages a company that rivals small nation's economies. He's one of the most effective politicians of the modern age, and Apple pours money into marketing and lobbying efforts. Apple has tremendous influence over governments, and appeals against regulations.
Apple is a political bully and Tim Cook is a liar.

Opposition to Israel has NEVER made me feel like I was in danger as a Jew.

But goddamn I feel more in danger because an apartheid state on the other side of the world is committing genocide and war and saying they’re doing it in my name.

I hate that wearing something that may identify me as Jewish may indicate support for a country I want nothing to do with.

@usernameswift @witix I thought Linux was all about enterprise software and powering surveillance capitalism’s server farms.

Ah, no, my bad, that’s just how they make all their money is all.

I probably will switch to systemd-less distro soon like Devuan.

Can't wait until sudo functionality will be capped that you have to have a root password to modify system packages that goes along with the age verification.

Maybe worse there will be patch where there will be another superuser like SuperSU or SuperSuperSU or even SuSuSuSupernova (Nova, can't stop hyperstellar)

Though I think it's best to have a reasonably secure root password these days.

Systemd added a birthDate field in userdb to "comply" with the new age verification laws[1]
Since GardenerDB is meant to work as well as possible as a drop-in to systemd-userdb, I am forced to also add this field, but I refuse to properly implement it
GardenerDB will hardcode the birth date to be 1998-07-06 for every user, any application that accesses that field for whatever reason will be happy to have that field, and the user will be happy that they don't have to reveal their actual age.

@witix @usernameswift

There's also @VoidLinux

However, be advised that due to their packaging philosophy of "just ship reasonably up to date versions of upstream" as a corollary implies, that if some projects (say Vim, for example) decides to slop, then the packages shipped in the default repos will be sloppy, too.

Maybe it's time to introduce a nonslop repository, or better yet, put all sloppy projects into a sloppy repository.

Hot takes: I don't like automation nor AI.

No, it's less about the aspect that it replaces people and reduce labors, it's the fact that it makes everything soulless and not fun. Everything is so fast and rushed and you don't even remember what happened when you're doing a thing because it's too fast and you only try to achieve a temporary goal. There's not a single achievement happened, there's no efforts nor heart nor love be put on it, there's no joy and laugh about how a thing stupidly happened because of your act or other people's act. It's just pure plain focus and goals.

Everything happened at a hypersonic rate. There's no journey, there's no lessons, there's no learning, there's no growth, there's no progress, there's no relationship, there's no communication, there's no pleasure nor it's enjoyable, there's no rest, there's no love. Only solving problems quickly. You don't even remember why AI wrote this code, you don't even remember why you make a thing, you don't even care or put itty bitty love and optimization on it, all your focus were: "this needs to be done ASAP." This is soulless society that, to me, I must admit I against.

Every part of your life supposedly gives you room for growth, connection, and make you be a better person and also makes you feel good or better. You should be able to be and feel "I became better everyday" and "I get new things everyday." I just don't enjoy the life where you only focus on less human aspects on it and gives you zero improvement.
