    SystemD is really bloated tho

    I’m not saying we should all be using runit, but with systemD making more and more services only work through their init system just creates more vendor lock in

    Like, who needs a cronjob alternative that only works if you use SystemD, limiting your software to people using it and locking out everyone needing a less bloated init system like runit? And who needs a systemD calendar?



  • for the average user.

    So we are talking about an average user, who

    • fully understands the appeal of a degoogled Phone
    • Willingly spends extra money for a fairphone
    • is able to migrate away from google services to /e/'s services
    • Is willing and able to troubleshoot any problems that MicroG has
    • is willing to fix not working banking apps
    • but somehow can’t use a simple web installer from Calyx

    Tell me, is this average user in the room with us right now?

    Everything works out of the boy.

    So does (and does not) with Calix or Graphene

    Buy a Pixel.

    I think you don’t get what I’m talking about.

    -It takes a base level of understanding why you would buy a Fairphone (or any degoogled phone)

    • it takes a base level of understanding phones to be able to use a degoogled one
    • If you already have that knowledge, you might as well just take an extra 5 minutes and use the web installer for calyx since it is literally the same AND has less vendor lockin than /e/

    Edit: You want an average user friendly ROM? Just use Lineage for gods sake.

    The controversy you pointed out is about someone who was writing factually false information and feeding hate against people who should be covered under the freedom of speech. The ban happened during his life, and not years after he died. Therefore his works were not a peace of gone culture, but hate in the present of time.

    If I follow your argumentation, that being that you should allow people write false information feeding hate against specific people just living their life in peace, you should be against censoring Hate speech against Lgbtqia+ people too, or the better question would be: where do you draw the line? At Jews? At queer people?




  • Yes, but you say it like the Author himself changed it.

    In the specific Example, the book is from before 2000 and the author is long dead. That book is a piece of culture now, displaying the writing style from a place in time where it was normal to discriminate against people. By changing a book, regardless of if it was actually amazon or just some manager that bought up the rights for the book, it is manipulating the Past. Amazon should not allow to do such things
