are the tankies… self aware?

Oh ok, if that’s what it was actually about, I get disliking the format/channel. But I completely agree with you about not downvoting a relevant post.

It would appear that people hate criticism of Apple on this platform, based off of the downvotes. I am slightly surprised at that tbh. And I additionally beleive that just makes the point in the video about Apples “holier than thou” mentality more evidently true.

Folks, they are just another Corpo, please stop simping for them because they promised you the world. It’s all just sweet nothings and the evidence consistantly shows that.

Well, ‘pacman -Syyu’ is only effective if pacman exists on the monstrocity that archinstall ‘builds’. aggressively re-pacstraps

If this was accurate, the ropes would have snapped and Homer would go hurddling to the base of the mountain.

Am I the only one who beleives that it would have been a more effective arguement to try and use the 4th amendment instead of the 1st? Violating free speech is just a weak claim, but “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches…” seems quite relevent here. But I am also not a lawyer.

Oh is that what it was? Well, that’s helpful to know, thanks! Though it turned out to be a blessing because it forced me to make the jump to linux and now I would hate to go back anyways…

Back when I was first in high school, I got into torrenting and gave myself pretty bad malware that just black-screened my laptop, and even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason. Linux detected my hardware and I installed Ubuntu, then Mint, and I moved to Arch a few years ago after having learned the ropes. That’s about when I fully spiralled into linux nerd.

Thanks for the extensive response! You make some really good points and I was unaware of the political ick. Not sure if it’s enough to make me leave them because they do seem to at least handle the privacy aspect of their services correctly (for now at least), but those do seem like good areas that I’m going to watch more closely about them from now on.

alias ser=‘pacman -Ss’
alias ins=‘sudo pacman -S’
alias rem=‘sudo pacman -Rncs’
alias upd=‘sudo pacman -Syu’

alias q=‘quit’
alias cl=‘clear’

alias p=‘systemctl poweroff’
alias r=‘systemctl reboot’

Can I ask what those other reasons are? (genuinely curious if I should switch away from them)
