This is the Way

You're comparing system packages to user-provided packages.

User-provided packages need to have names that are easily searchable. If you named a package eg threading, searching for $PROGRAMMING_LANGUAGE threading would give you a ton of irrelevant results

One of my personal hobbies is doing that to Velcro

Oh you mean velcro?

American civil religion

American civil religion is a sociological theory that a nonsectarian civil religion exists within the United States with sacred symbols drawn from the national history of the United States. Scholars have portrayed it as a common set of values that foster social and cultural integration. The ritualistic elements of ceremonial deism found in American ceremonies and presidential invocations of God can be seen as expressions of the American civil religion.

Yeah, no you won't

HaVe YoU ConSiDeReD thE PoSSiBiLiTY that I'm not pro-AI and I understand the downsides, and can still point out that people flock like lemmings (*badum tss*) to any "AI bad" post regardless of whether it's actually good or not?

Or are you yet another bot lost in the shuffle?

Yes, good job, anybody with opinions you don't like is a bot.

It's not like this was even a pro-AI post rather than just pointing out that even the most facile "ai bad, applause please" stuff will get massively upvoted

You can't just say something like that and not elaborate, goddamn

Don't forget trying to kill e2e encryption like what the EU wants to do, both to "catch criminals" and "protect the children"

I bet this was some sort of gen AI mishap: "translate this campaign text to Latin", because of course Latinos speak Latin, and it's called Latin America too!

Although this would be twice as hilarious if they hired a translator who just went "🤷 ah well, money is money"

I've only done it the "manual" way but I don't think the script was even a thing the last time I installed Arch, which must have been close to 15 years ago now.

Oh it's not quite as "from scratch" as some people make it out to be. It definitely can be more work than most distros, but mostly it's pretty straightforward and you generally just follow some wiki guide or another when picking "components" to install and I think nowadays you can use prebuilt binaries too (I haven't used Arch in a good while.) There's really not all that many moving parts, most of them are sort of a package deal – if you want to use X, you have to install Y and Z. It really is more like building a PC from parts.

Now, if you actually want to build a Linux system from scratch, there's the very surprisingly named Linux From Scratch project

Academics, think tanks and magazines are buzzing with conversations about how to undo the damage wrought by half a century of misguided economic policies. On the right, that debate has already spilled out into the public view.

Well, if vocally campaigning to make shit much worse qualifies as "spilled out into the public view", then yeah I guess it has

I suppose they meant that it slows down their internet, not the internet

I thought he'd understood why it was better for him to drop out of the race, but I guess that was overly optimistic of me

I'd be a bit nervous about those rockets

I'm surprised I haven't seen any "trump for Harris" generated images yet in this thread.

It'd mean having to give money to Musk

Clueless MBA parasites ruining shit for everybody again?

Must be a day that ends in Y

I doubt he's that open-minded. He's one bottle of whiskey away from suggesting concentration camps for minorities and "woke" people
