  • I’m not sure either. I think arch used to be one of the less popular distros (because of the more involved install process, solved now by the arch-based distros with friendly installers), despite having some of the best features, so it required more “evangelism”, that’s unecessary now. Arch-based distros are now some of the most popular ones, so its not necessary.

    Others have commented on why its so great, but the AUR + Rolling releases + stability means that arch is one of the “stable end states”. You might hop around a lot, but its one of the ones you end up landing on, and have no reason to change from.







  • Ah my bad.

    Ya we have to deal with so many vote bots, dead account voters, and vote spying tools now from some instances, that it’s genuinely going to be one of the biggest challenges on the fediverse in the future.

    If some special interests set up shop on the fediverse, and upvote their content with a lot of fake accounts, or downvote others views they don’t want popularized, without a way to combat it while still preserving overall vote privacy, we’ll be in bad shape.


  • “The BBC respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence. The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves…The team were dealing with a live situation but with hindsight we should have pulled the stream during the performance. We regret this did not happen.”

    British state media is absolute trash. Everything that comes out of it should be considered false before proven otherwise by a reputable source.
